Tillicum Beach Overview
Tillicum Beach campground offers 60 single-family campsites (most with beachfront views), and 18 sites have both electric and water hookups. There are 22 walk-in (first-come, first-serve) sites. Due to the campground’s popularity, it’s a good idea to make reservations in advance. The reservable sites with water & electric hookups include 24, 27, 28, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38, 42, 45, 47, 55, 57 and 59. Each site also has a picnic table, fire ring and grate.
Campground amenities include flush toilets and drinking water are provided, but there are no showers. Firewood is also available for sale from the camp host. Cell service is not available.
Tillicum is a coastal campground and lies a couple miles south of where the Alsea River meets the Pacific Ocean. Tillicum is perfectly perched on the sandy beach yet it still offers some shade. The campground offers views of both the ocean and the Coastal Range. Check in tie is 2pm and check out is 12:00pm.
If you’re heading north, you may want to check South Beach State Park. It’s right on the coast and about 26 miles north on highway 101. And to the south is Beachside State Recreation Site and Carl G. Washburn Memorial State Park.

How do you make reservations for a tent campsite
Click on the green “Make a Reservation” button to check availability and make a reservation at Tillicum Beach.
Why are some campsites; i.e. #46 Not available yet?
Hi Stephanie,
Per the Recreation.gov site – there are several first-come, first-serve campsites at Tillicum Beach campground, but most all of the reservable sites (including #46) are reserved through at least early October. There are a few reservable sites with some openings. You can check availability, pricing and reserve Tillicum Beach campsites here: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233965
How do you make reservations at this park
Hi Richard, You can click the ‘Make a Reservation’ green button found on the Tillicum Beach Campground page. It will route you to our affiliate partner (Reserve America) to check availability and make a reservation.
Please update the phone number listed. 541-547-3639 is NOT the campground, but a landline for a Yachats resident. (Me) Thank you!
Sorry about that! We have updated the phone # and your number is no longer listed on Tillicum Beach campground page.
reserveamerica isn’t showing tilicum campground, where can we make reservations
Hi Kim,
ReserveAmerica recently changed over their system. We are in the process of updating the links to the correct reservation page. Tillicum Beach campground page now has the correct link to make reservations. Thanks for the heads up!
are there any first come sites and if so which ones?
Hi Dwight,
All campsites at Tillicum Beach campground are reservable. There are no first-come, first-serve campsites.
I stayed there this week, had a really nice spot, although some didn’t look like I would like them. The camp hosts were really nice, helped me move the picnic table. You can walk on the beach, but there are no trails to anywhere.
Do you honor the Golden Age Pass that reduces the fee by 50%?
Hi Donna,
Tillicum Beach campground is on the Recreation.gov reservations system, so they should honor the Golden Age Pass.
What is check in and check out times at Tillicum Beach Campground?
Hi Bob,
We have not been able to confirm Tillicum Beach check in / check out times, but generally they are 12pm (check out) and 2pm (check in). You may want to call the campground ton confirm at: 541 547-3679
are campfires allowed on the beach?
Hi Joe,
We’re not sure if campfires are allowed at Tillicum Beach. Might be best to give the campground a call at: 541 547-3679
Looking forward to. Staying for a couple of weeks of sunshine and sanity!
Under recreation.gov they do show 20 sites that are walk-up. Those are first come first serve right?
Hi Chris,
I’m not seeing the ’20 walk-up sites’ listed on Recreation.gov. To our knowledge, all 60 campsites are reservable. You may trying calling the campground (541-547-3679), or Rec.gov (877-444-6777) to double check.
The website actually show 22 sites as walk-ups. If this is not the case, it should be corrected so that the availability of more than a third of the campground is shown. That would be very helpful is, in fact, all are reservable in theory.
The map indicates no dump station, where is the nearest one?
Hi Michael,
That’s correct in that there is no dumpstation at Tillicum Beach campground. The nearest dump station to Tillicum Beach campground is located about 5 miles to the north at SW Starr Street and Highway 101 in Waldport, Oregon. It is run by the town and has a $10 fee (honor system).
What are the laws around pot smoking in your park? I rented a space for four nights and only lasted two because of excessive pot smoking in the campsite next door. I expect fresh air at the coast and all I got was the smell of pot day and night. Very frustrated.
Hi Lynne,
CampsitePhotos.com is not associated with the campgrounds listed on our website. We provide the photos of each campsite, links to make reservations and campground info. We’re not sure the laws/policy of cannabis use in (Oregon) public campgrounds like Tillicum Beach. You may try calling the campground directly to inquire: 541 547-3679
