Webb County Campground

The Great Outdoors

Between Webb County Campground and the Pacific Ocean is the Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, part of the Three Capes Scenic Route. The Cape offers spectacular cliff-edge views where you can watch the Pacific Ocean pounding into the rocks and try and spot the seabirds swooping and diving below you. The cliffs are very popular for hang gliding and kite flying, and you can usually see several people each day enjoying their sport.Other areas of the park are at sea level, giving good access to the beach for picnics, fishing, and swimming if you are want to brave the cold water temperatures! This coastline is also good for surfing, and you will typically see several hardy folk out on the water riding the waves. If you want to try it out for yourself, there are rental companies nearby and instructors available.In all directions, you can see the massive, 364,000-acre Tillamook State Forest. Head into the forest for plenty of hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and climbing opportunities. There are several recreation areas within the forest, and on Oregon Highway 6, between Portland and Tillamook is the Tillamook Forest Center. At the center, you can learn about the sustainable logging taking place, get information on the recreation areas, and check out the extensive range of interactive exhibits. Many hiking trails start from the center, and one of the nicest is the Wilson River Trail, which takes you across the Wilson River Suspension Bridge. Admission and parking are free at the center, and they even have RV camper parking available.Head north on the coast route, and you will pass through numerous state parks and wildlife areas along the way, including the Cape Lookout State Park. Built on a sand spit, the park offers beautiful views of the ocean and very easy access to the long sandy beach for picnicking, beachcombing, and swimming. It is a lovely area to spend a relaxing day with the family, while RV camping at Webb County Campground.

Exploring the Area

Webb County Campground doesn't have a store, but Pacific City is right on your doorstep for your daily shopping needs and should have everything you need for a motorhome camping vacation.The coast route is a beautiful drive, passing soaring cliffs and long, sandy beaches, and when you get to Cape Meares Lighthouse, take a few minutes to explore this historic building. Constructed in 1887, the brick-built lighthouse is just 38-feet high and the shortest in Oregon. It is open to visitors during the summer season, and well worth a stop. While at the lighthouse, there is a gift shop, raising funds for the upkeep of the building, plus cliff edge walks and viewpoints. You might see migrating whales if you are lucky, but there is plenty of other wildlife to spot.The city of Tillamook is a short drive from the lighthouse and is famous in Oregon for its cheese. It's the home of the hundred-year-old Tillamook Cheese Factory that you can visit and taste local cheeses. Once stuffed full of cheese, there is plenty more here, including the Tillamook Air Museum with a small display of around 15 aircraft, or the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum.
