RV rental Nehalem Bay State Park, OR: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Nehalem Bay State Park sits on a four-mile sand spit. On the western side, you have the Pacific Ocean, while the peaceful waters of Nehalem Bay on the Nehalem River lie to the east. As you'd expect, much of the activity in the park happens either on or near the water. For many visitors, the highlight of a stay in the park is its unspoiled beaches. With the waves crashing onto the shore and the morning sunlight obscured by fog, it's a beautiful spot to do some beachcombing or just relax and enjoy the feeling of sand between your toes. You might also want to build a sandcastle with the kids, spot some of the many species of birds that call this part of the coast home, or collect beautiful shells washed up on the sand. Surf fishing is another popular pastime here, so make sure to pack your fishing pole in the rental RV. Other campers might prefer to take a boat out on Nehalem Bay. A boat launch can be found in the park's bayside day-use area, which is a popular spot for kayakers and keen anglers. The calm waters of the bay are perfect for paddling, while anglers can try their luck catching steelhead trout, salmon, sturgeon, and more. It's also a great idea to bring your bicycle along when you camp at Nehalem Bay State Park. A two-mile bike path leads you in a loop around the park, winding through dense forest and also offering excellent bay views at a couple of spots along the way. Walkers are also welcome on this paved trail, so feel free to tackle it in whatever way (and at whatever pace) you like.
