Camping details from the park
Seasonal Camping
As the only Oregon coast campground located in the midst of a city, Devil’s Lake Campground is the perfect base camp for exploring Lincoln City’s shopping, beaches and restaurants. D River State Recreation Site is just a 10 minute walk away, over a boardwalk through the wetland and across Hwy 101.
While none of the campsites have a lake view, a wide trail leads to a fishing dock. Boat moorage docks are adjacent to the campground, but the campground does not have a boat launch; boaters must launch from one of the other access points.
Address: 1452 NE 6th Drive, Lincoln City, OR 97367

Are all sites available during the winter?
The campground is closed seasonally from December 1 through May 1 due to winter flooding. The park sits on a peat bog and is not well drained. As a result, many of these winter closures extend through June by necessity.
Can I bring more than one extra vehicle?
Extra vehicle parking in the campground is very scarce. We have a strict limit of two vehicles per site because of this. In many cases a campsite will not accommodate a vehicle/trailer combination PLUS an extra vehicle. We do have some designated extra vehicle parking spaces available for $10 per night, but please be aware that your extra vehicle may be parked some distance from your campsite.
Additionally, even though we allow two vehicles per campsite, if your first vehicle and camping equipment take up all the space on the paved parking spur, you must park the second vehicle in the designated extra vehicle parking area and will be assessed a fee of $10 per night.
In all cases, vehicles must have all tires on the pavement and cannot be parked sideways on the paved parking spur.

Trails
Can I park a trailer in a tent site?
The answer is yes, but only in some areas. Most of our tent sites are very small and angled poorly for backing trailers. For that reason, only a select few tents sites in our campground can accommodate trailers, which must be under 14 feet in length. These sites are A12, A18, B11, B13, C1, C9, C14, C16, C19, C21 and C32.
Boating and paddling
Do you offer kayak tours?
No. Devil's Lake State Recreation Area discontinued kayak tours in 2015, but tours are still offered in many Oregon State Parks. The closest is 35 miles south of Devil's Lake at Brian Booth State Park's Beaver Creek Natural Area. Kayak tours are offered on Beaver Creek from July 1 through Labor Day weekend. Paddles, kayaks, and personal flotation devices are provided. Interpretive guides take guests on a peaceful 2.5 hour expedition up the pristine freshwater marsh. For more information, pricing or to make a reservation, please call: (541) 563-6413 or visit the Beaver Creek Welcome Center. Reservations accepted starting June 1. Please call between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
