Port of Newport RV Park & Marina

We stayed here on our way through Newport. The after hours check in was easy. Finding the correct shower and laundry facility was a little confusing. But once we found it, everything was clean. There was plenty of hot water for a shower and the laundry room had several washers and dryers. Walking distance to the Aquarium and great views of the marina and bridge.

A traditional park where you can expect relatively close neighbors, but I have had worse. Magically there were several big rigs (think 40'+ Prevost, Newell, King Aire, Cyclone) that managed to park here. It is simply a good location for exploring the area and at a reasonable price. I am fully self-contained; even washing clothes. So, I cannot speak to the laundry or bathroom/shower facilities. Walking distance to Rogue Brewery (great 2nd floor restaurant) and you can bike to a nearby ocean beach is a treat for this location.

I would choose to stay here again.

p.s... I wouldn't pay the $$ for the Annex that is not paved and in the shadow of a Motel 6. Appeared to me to have quite a few monthly residents too. I would opt for the dry camping at the huge paved lot between Rogue and the RV Park. I even saw people spending the night next to the RV Park on Marine Science Dr at no cost.

You have 2 choices. One is full hook ups and no chance of getting in or 2. Boondocks and pay $39.00 a night with access to showers and flush toilets but again, you're in the Marina parking lot. You do have access to great fresh seafood and handcraft beer, walkable to the aquarium and local restaurants. Spaces are level but tight and it was busy, safe travels.

A very popular campground right at the marina. We actually stayed in sites #78, #82, and #51 as we booked fairly late. The campground is booked well in advance for May weekends because the Halibut fishing is open and sometimes in June. So the weekends can be tricky.

South Beach Fish Market is the place to go for great seafood and it's on the campground side of the bridge. In Newport, there are all the usual shops.

We enjoyed the stay and the cool weather. We rented a small crabbing boat and crab rings from the shore at the marina for $70 and had a very enjoyable afternoon on the estuary.

I’m late in my review as this was almost two months ago, but sitting in the Texas desert I’m seriously missing the Oregon coast. This Spot is a great facility at the marina, next to Rogue brewery and unbelievably views of the best looking McCulough bridge on the coast. Nicely laid out and maintained with great WiFi. Also a nice place to walk the pups.

This is a great stop at the Oregon Central Coast. The park is towards the end of town and sits right on the bay. We were able to watch the fishing boats come and go and talk with the fisherman. The sunsets are wonderful and the park is close to the Rogue Brewery and Distillery. Grab a pint of micro brew or a glass of their spirits. My favorite was the Farmhouse Pinot Gin you hardly need the tonic. The RV park is large with full hook-ups and has spots for boondocking in a neighboring parking lot. Even though you sit below the Newport Bridge the travel noise is minimal. We did not use the onsite laundry or rest rooms but they looked clean and nice. This RV Park is a don’t miss in my book. The reason for the 4 stars in site quality was they are a bit close together and not much grass or trees and no tables.

It is a great place clean and well run. It could use some trees but with the wind I don’t think they would last here. The park is full of friendly people. We had no issues walking around and chatting with neighbors. We have a 30+ foot trailer and a one ton dually, we had no issues going through the park. Site was level and did not need to level our trailer side to side.

It did rain for 2 of our days we stayed and that was ok. But the lighthouse to the west of us played its fog horn. I was surprised that it didn’t sound like they do in the movies. It isn’t as loud. Just travel with ear plugs.

The WiFi being limited here is an understatement. It is unusable I work from the road and it is good that I get Verizon LTE service here, 6 by 3 meg speeds. This is the reason why I dropped a star.

The cable tv gives you the feeling that it was installed by cousin Eddy, because the sound didn’t work on the channels that had movies. Good thing for a hotspot. Though here you only need it when it is raining. Lots to do and see here.

We are here in June 2020 amid the covid virus. Most of the state parks are closed but the beaches are open. Food is available at most places for take out. Some for dine in too.

People here are friendly so come and visit.

This is an outstanding RV park, right in the marina. Love the smells, the sounds and people were exceedingly friendly. Everyone we encountered engaged in conversations. The camp host was incredibly nice, he was constantly checking up on us, and was a wealth of information on the area. Make sure you engage with him, a GREAT resource. Sites were really good sized, good spacing, plenty of room for my 40 footer and car. Hook ups were immaculate and solid. Roads were big and easy to navigate. The park has great access to walking paths, shops and restaurants, the aquarium (go check that out, so worth it). A quick drive up/down the coast on 101 and you have endless vistas and overlooks to stop at. Lots of breweries and other stuff like that around. We could say a week and not be bored.

The staff were great, pad was level, neighbors were cliquish. That’s ok though a lot of summer long big rigs, didn’t see many kids, no park for them to play. Can’t give 5 stars like most. The WiFi was the worst I have ever encountered since RVing how ever they do say in there literature that it is limited. In truth it is non existent. There is plenty to do a city bus stops at the office. Which has free tickets. Close to Rouge brewery and distillery which runs tours. If you like fishing or crabbing you’ll neon heaven.
