Quick Overview
Cannon Beach has several RV parks and campgrounds in the area, with some offering free or low-cost options for travelers at one of Oregon's most iconic coastal destinations. This small resort town of about 1,500 permanent residents is world-famous for Haystack Rock, the 235-foot sea stack that rises from the beach and defines the Oregon coast's most photographed landscape. RV parks near Cannon Beach serve coastal vacationers drawn to the town's combination of natural beauty, art galleries, and upscale dining that creates a unique beach-town atmosphere. Ecola State Park north of town provides dramatic headland hiking trails with views that stretch from Tillamook Head to Tillamook Rock Lighthouse offshore. The town's walkable downtown along Hemlock Street features dozens of art galleries, boutique shops, and restaurants that have earned Cannon Beach recognition as one of the most charming small towns on the West Coast. The annual Sandcastle Contest each June draws sand sculptors from around the world and fills every campground in the area. Tide pool exploration at Haystack Rock's base reveals colorful sea stars, anemones, and other marine life during low tides, making it a family-friendly destination where nature puts on a free show twice daily. The Cannon Beach History Center downtown preserves the area's coastal heritage with exhibits on Native American culture, early settlers, and the town's evolution from a quiet fishing village to one of the Pacific Northwest's most beloved beach destinations.
