Project Completed | Beverly Beach State Park

Upgrade complete, improved utilities now ready for visitors.

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 park reopened on July 1, 2024, after an 11-month closure for construction.

The project focused on upgrading the park and campground utilities, including power and water lines. The upgrades included:

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.
Rehabilitating a sewer lift station with new pumps and controls.
Paving and campsite improvements.

Milestones

Design finalized June 2023.
Awarded construction contract to Laskey-Clifton and started construction in November 2023.
Construction completed July 2025.

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. This list was revised in November 2025.

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