Lincoln City KOA

Lincoln City KOA 5298 NE Park Ln Otis, OR 97368 Reserve: 800-562-3316; Info: 541-994-2961 koa.com/campgrounds/lincoln-city

Close enough to the Pacific for easy access yet inland enough to avoid coastal fog and wind. RV Pull Thru Sites now have 50-amp service!

Start with a hearty breakfast from Mel’s Kamper Kitchen. Then hit the beach, Devils Lake or the Lincoln City Kite Festival (one in summer, one in fall).

The area boasts miles of soft beaches, perfect for whale watching, lighthouse touring and glass-float finding. Yes, the “float fairies” of the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau hide thousands of handmade, multicolored glass floats along the beaches. You’ll find the same beautiful floats for sale in the campground store.

Close the day by enjoying a burger and local Tillamook ice cream. One of the local elk might even come through asking to share.

This KOA is near the Tanger Outlet Center, Chinook Winds Casino Resort and the Spirit Mountain Casino.
