RVING ON THE OREGON COAST: FORT STEVENS STATE PARK. Hello all and welcome back to another JK's adventure. In this episode we travel to the Oregon Coast where we worked remote for 9 days. We had a chance to explore all this great state park has to offer as well as tour the awesome coastal town of Astoria, Oregon. We hope you enjoy this one and if you haven't already please hit that like button and consider subscribing. We would love to have you. Safe Travels.
One of the nation's largest public campgrounds, Fort Stevens marks the site of a military installation once used to guard the mouth of the Columbia River. The fort saw service for 84 years, from the Civil War to World War II.
Today, Fort Stevens is a 4,300-acre park offering a variety of recreation adventures, including camping, beach-combing, freshwater lake swimming, trails, wildlife viewing and a historic shipwreck.
Historic Military Site
Enjoy year-round military displays at the military museum and information center. Visit the only Civil War era earthen fort on the west coast, or explore the many turn-of-the-century, concrete artillery gun batteries. Underground tours are available during the summer of a gun battery that served as a World War II command center. For tour information, call the Friends of Old Fort Stevens at 503-861-2000.
