When planning a trip to Oregon’s storied coastlines along the Pacific Ocean, look no further than the blissful city of Newport. Newport has long been the seat for Lincoln County, and one of the state’s most ideal beachfront paradises despite its rainy, cool climate.
When you book an RV in Newport, you can stay put and luxuriate in serene, coastal views, or spend your days strolling the long stretches of coastline that are prevalent in town. The small city itself has lots of awesome shops and restaurants to look into, and the town’s motto is “The Friendliest” with regard to its kind and inviting atmosphere. Whether you enjoy fishing or boating, camping at coastal campgrounds, or maybe you feel like driving to check out some of Oregon’s other cities like Eugene or Portland, using a Newport camper rental is just about the best decision you could make.

If you feel a calling to visit Newport, chances are you've heard tales or seen photographs of its beautiful landscapes. This is completely normal in Oregon, as the entire state is teeming with splendid nature preserves and welcoming public parks where you can bring your Newport RV rental to make the most of your outdoor-centric vacation. You can enjoy some pretty extraordinary nature parks just in town without leaving the enchanting city of Newport. Yaquina Bay State Recreation Site is found in town nestled between the Pacific Ocean and Yaquina Bay. This coastal park has amazing bluffs overlooking the sea, fishing areas, sandy beaches, waterfront access, and a memorial shrine for anglers. The historic lighthouse on site is a living piece of the past that you can see or tour.
Also in town, South Beach State Park is another incredible beach area where you can read a book, suntan, go for a swim, jog near the water’s edge, or simply stroll along the oceanfront in search of neat seashells and driftwood. You can choose from over 100 campsites too when you rent an RV and feel like sleeping by the ocean. Beverly Beach State Park is located just outside of town to the north, giving you yet another place to bring your Newport motorhome rental, with delightful views of the Pacific and fantastic sunsets. There are showers, restrooms, full RV hookups, yurts, tent camping sites, and a whole lot more at this fantastic state-operated facility.
No trip to Oregon would be quite as impactful for nature lovers as seeing one of the state’s two most breathtaking natural landmarks. Crater Lake National Park and Mount Hood National Forest are the most popular outdoor destinations in the state, bringing in millions of visitors each year. Mount Hood National Park is a bit closer to Newport, but still requires a few hours of driving. The park is home to the stratovolcano known as Mount Hood, a towering, prominent giant that dominates the skyline throughout the entire region. You can hike to the peak of the mountain if you are in good shape and not afraid of adventure, but most people are content to camp out with their Newport camper rental and hike through dense evergreen forests and fields of wildflowers at the foot of Mount Hood.
Camping is a popular pastime in Oregon, so it is never hard to find a campground. When you rent an RV in Newport, you can pick from any one of several great options. Alsea River RV Park is located on the Alsea River. There are dock slips and spaces for boats, in addition to restroom and shower facilities, and a recreation room for guest entertainment.
The Waldport/Newport KOA Campground is in the heart of town, minutes from the beach. You can rent bicycles from the park and discover the area while getting a great workout.
Whalers Rest RV & Camping Resort has a whole host of amenities. A whirlpool sauna, a heated pool, a hot tub, a mini-golf course, a business workspace, a fitness center, and a large clubhouse are among the many activities and features you can utilize when you stay at the resort.
It may have a small population compared to most cities, but Newport is a happening destination that is adequately suited to impress and entertain visitors. There are some great landmarks that you can see while walking through town, like the Yaquina Bay Bridge, a unique-looking art deco-style bridge. This large metal structure spans the entire Yaquina Bay connecting the northern and southern areas of Newport. You can walk or drive across the bridge for stunning views of the ocean, or take memorable photos with your friends or family.
Yaquina Bay Lighthouse is another charming landmark to check out when you have a motorhome rental in Newport. The lighthouse was built in the 19th century and is one of only a handful to have a lighthouse keeper’s quarters inside the same building. There are spellbinding vantage points, scenic hikes, an interpretive center, and guided tours of the lighthouse should you feel like exploring the supposedly haunted structure.
Animal lovers can delight in the fact that one of Oregon’s best aquariums is located in Newport. Oregon Coast Aquarium is run by a nonprofit organization, designed to inform, educate, and protect the heavenly Oregon coastlines. The sea life in the area is complex and fascinating, and you can learn all about it from the knowledgeable staff at the aquarium. Viewing colorful schools of fish, alien-looking octopuses, ghostly jellyfish, and a smattering of other ocean creatures makes for a fantastic way to spend a day.
