Dovre, Elk Bend, & The Nestucca River Campgrounds
Not too far but definitely out there, the Bureau of Land Mangement campgrounds on the Nestucca River are easily accessible via the official Nestucca Scenic Byway scenic a short drive west of McMinnville in the Willamette Valley. You have the distinct feeling that you’ve stumbled upon someone’s private party when you arrive there. They’re that intimate—and largely unknown to the hordes that congregate along the coast. Five BLM facilities comprise the Nestucca River chain of campgrounds; from east to west, they are Dovre, Fan Creek, Elk Bend, Alder Glen, and Rocky Bend. Collectively, they offer an extraordinary selection of 43 tent-camping sites spread across 12 miles of beautiful forested river frontage, so I decided to lump them all together. Take your pick or try them all.
