NEHALEM, Oregon— Nehalem Bay State Park will extend its campground reservation closure through at least July 2025 and possibly longer if needed to complete construction work. The park will reopen sooner if possible.

“We’re still hoping to open July 1 if possible, but we will not know for certain until we get closer to that date. As a precaution, we’re closing reservations to avoid needing to cancel them later if the project goes longer,” said Park Manager Ben Cox.

The park closed last fall for improvements including upgrading utilities, adding a new restroom/shower building, renovating accessible campsites and repaving and adding traffic calming features.

If the work is finished sooner, the park will reopen campground reservations for any remaining closure dates.

Nehalem Bay State Park is one of the nine GO Bond projects at Oregon State Parks supported through Oregon-issued general obligation bonds approved by the Oregon State Legislature in 2021.
