Coyote Rock RV Resort - Lincoln City, Oregon (July 2018)

Our idea after the Airstream International Rally in Salem was to spend a week along Oregon's coast. It seems that Oregon's coast is similar to Florida's Gulf Coast in that it is difficult to get reservations there. We were happy when Coyote Rock had a site on the river available for Rosie, our 25 foot Airstream trailer.

We were surprised when we arrived and noticed that most of the trailers in the first loop of this park appeared to be “forever” residents and some of those trailers appeared to have skipped several maintenance appointments. It also appeared to us that most people sought out this campground to go fishing on the river.

Our site was a back-in along the river. That meant we had a great water view. It also meant we heard the sounds of the fishermen as they left in their boat every morning. 

We were not there to fish. We used this location to explore the Oregon Coast. Our daily trips allowed us to see tidal pools, whales, seals, star fish and lighthouses. We also found some good seafood, crab cake and clam chowder.

Here are some specifics about this campground:

• Our site had 20, 30 and 50 amp electrical service 
• Our site had a water connection with higher than normal pressure 
• Our site had a sewer connection 
• The cable TV connection at our site did not work 
• We were unable to see any TV stations using Rosie’s antenna 
• AT&T placed a weak signal for voice and data over our site 
• The bathhouse serving the campground was very undersized. It is best that one person at a time use the restroom 
• Speaking of the bathhouse, it needs to be updated 

We were amused by the growing number of signs at the campground. It became a game to spot the new hastily handwritten signs put up during the day to warn the campers of the consequences of some newly discovered problem. Maybe it was a good thing that we were gone during the days we camped in this park or we may have been the inspiration for more signs.
