Fort Stevens State Park Sites C62 and C63 7.4.19 - 7.7.19 Full cell and internet service

I don’t have too much to add about Fort Stevens since went for the 4th of July last yearas well with some of the same people. This year we were in C loop. These sites were small with little to no privacy at all. This is definitely still only a good campground for groups, its not quiet or relaxing.

This year we borrowed bikes and biked a beautiful trail to the batteries that we hiked around last year. You still definitely need bikes to get around here. We drove to the beach this year with the whole group, past the main parking lot is a sandy road that only big trucks can get through and then you can just drive down the beach and park as you please. This was nice as we were able to get away from big crowds and have a patch of beach to ourselves. Winnie LOVED loved loved the beach and sprinted back and forth forever. She even played fetch for a while after watching our camping companion’s dog fetch, but sadly that was the only day we’d ever gotten her to fetch (though we’re actively training her to be a fetch dog.. one day!)

Pros and Cons remain the same but a new pro was how much Winnie loved the beach.

Fireworks this year were moved off a seawall to a barge in downtown Astoria. I didn’t think the show was a good this year, but still solid. Overall, we’ll keep going here for the 4th of July as long as our pals keep organizing this trip as we love the group… But its still not my favorite campground.
