The resplendent Oregon coast is on most travelers’ bucket lists of must-see North American destinations. You can get close to Oregon’s crashing surf and sandy

dunes at Neskowin Creek RV Resort, a Coast Classic property that’s 8 miles north of Lincoln City and half a mile from the picture-postcard shore.

The family-owned and -operated resort not only lets you indulge in the scenic and recreational wonders of the coast, it has plenty of its own amusements and amenities. The indoor swimming pool and hot tub mean you can make waves year-round, and the playground gives kids a place of their own. Bring the whole family to the sport courts for a game of tennis, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, badminton, shuffleboard or horseshoes.

The resort’s namesake Neskowin Creek rushes through the grounds, so be sure to pack your gear for some prime catch-and-release fishing and the occasional fishing derby. You’ll find more opportunities for fishing, not to mention crabbing, clamming and beachcombing, just a short walk away. Whether you’re digging for dinner at the beach or just searching for sand dollars, you’ll enjoy the view of Proposal Rock, a pic-turesque landmark just off shore.

Neskowin Creek’s helpful staff can fill you in on the area’s best places for fishing, hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking and horseback riding. Come summer, the activity director brings guests together at ice cream socials and makes sure there’s rarely a dull moment with potlucks, barbecues, bingo, crafts, dances, movie nights and sing-alongs. The snack bar keeps you going all day, and round-the-clock security and gated access let you spend the nights in peace.

The resort management never stops thinking of ways to enhance your stay. “We’ve recently added a game arcade and a weight room,” says owner Mike McLeod, “and 30 of the nicest dry camping sites anywhere that we’ll add power and water to this spring.” Eighty full-hookup sites already offer 50-amp electricity, and the Wi-Fi cover-age recently got a boost. For those not visiting in an RV, the resort rents a large three-bedroom log home and several cabins.

Neskowin Creek Resort sits right on Highway 101, a nationally designated All American Road and the ultimate scenic drive.
