About Beverly Beach State Park

Beverly Beach State Park’s creekside campground is one of the state’s largest. Some campsites and the park’s day-use area are just steps away from miles of ocean beach extending from Yaquina Head to Otter Rock. The forest-sheltered campground features giant, wind-sculpted trees and nurse logs. Spencer Creek runs through the campground and day-use area. 

Project

The project focuses on upgrading the park and campground utilities, including power and water lines. The upgrades include:
  • Replacing single-phase power to three-phase power so onsite equipment can operate safely.
  • The local power provider will also replace the overhead power lines with underground power lines in conduit.
  • Replacing portions of the water lines that are well beyond replacement age and are an ongoing maintenance issue.

Temporary Visitor Impact

The park reopened Aug. 1, 2024 after an 11-month closure for construction.

Milestones

  • Substantial completion of construction.
  • Awarded construction contract to Laskey-Clifton and started construction.

  • Design finalized.

Next Steps

  • Completion of the water line to the shop, group camp, hiker/biker and lift station
  • Permanent electrical equipment installed.
The current general obligation bond estimate is $5-6 million.

General Obligation Bonds Overview

The 2021 Oregon Legislature passed SB 5506 that approved general obligation bonds to revitalize parks and campgrounds. The Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission approved a preliminary list of projects in November 2021.

The project at Beverly Beach State Park was one of the projects approved to receive funds from bond sales.
