Tillamook State Forest/Gales Creek Campground

Excellent hiking for pups and healthy humans, but be careful; the trails are steep, narrow, and washed out in places.

A campground with access to trails and Gales Creek. Each campsite had a table and fire ring. A clean pit toilet restroom is available. A manual water pump is available behind the self registration area. There was a camp host both times we visited. Campsites are first come first served. Gales Creek Day Use Trailhead is across the creek. It has several picnic sites with tables. Two fire rings and a clean pit toilet restroom are available. Parking is free in two gravel lots. The Gales Creek Trail is mostly uphill to the Summit Trailhead. It is about 2.5 miles. Parts of the trail are overgrown, but still easy to follow. A large tree is blocking the trail in one location. A challenging climb around is available. The trail is steep in places. The surface is dirt or gravel. There are several sturdy bridges.

I love this place. I went every year as a kid with my parents. There are restrooms, tables, hiking trails, a river, and more! I hope to go with my friends some time in the future.

Gales Creek is our favorite campground, the place is beautiful, relaxing and well maintained, the host Chuck is the best! Our radio run out of battery and Chuck gave us the AA battery we need, thank you so much. My husband and I will be back soon.

We drove here to check it out for the summer. No hook ups, but big spacious sites. Great hiking opportunities.

Would have been 5 stars but the bathrooms where kinda gross
Joe Timm
Stunning campground! Drop toilet was pretty gross so recommend bringing your own toilet arrangement.

Awesome place. Losts of trails, easy creek access, spacious drive in sites that feel secluded (not right next to another site). Happy that we found this place. We will definitely be planning another trip out.

Lovely place inside the Tillamook state park.

Beautiful campground. Lots of shade. We had tent site 4 and it gets a good amount of sun during the day until the sun heads east. Stunning views through the tree canopy. No showers but knew that heading there. Gales Creek is right behind tent site 1 and 4. It was quiet and peaceful when we were there on a Friday evening and Saturday morning.
