“home to some of the finest fishing”
Coyote Rock RV Resort & Marina is located on the banks of the beautiful Siletz River just outside the central Oregon coastal town of Lincoln City. Nestled in a canyon where the river meets the bay, the historical landmark of Coyote Rock sits looking out on the natural loveliness of wooded hills where deer and other forest creatures abound. It sits there looking down on the river otters playing and sees the blue heron fishing in the early mornings with the rising mist. It sits covered with trees, a giant sentinel, and waits for Coyote.... Coyote Rock was first opened in 1939, thirty some years before the movie "Sometimes a Great Notion" with Paul Newman and Henry Fonda was made. The film chronicled the lives and tribulations of a family of loggers in the Pacific Northwest. In the early 70's, when the film was shot, the "movie house" on the other side of the river was built solely as a set, without water or electricity. Many owners over the years have added the necessities for living. The Siletz river played a large part in the plot of the movie and, if you look carefully, you’ll be able to recognize Coyote Rock’s place on the river although it is not mentioned specifically in the film. It was around that same time , Robin Reed, Oregon’s first Olympic gold medalist, further developed Coyote Rock as a "fish camp". Today, Coyote Rock RV Resort & Marina is home to some of the finest fishing in the country, and the spring and fall chinook runs on the beautiful Siletz river are well known. The Siletz River, originally Silis meaning "black bear", is approximately 90 miles long, winding its way from the Coast Range down the Gorge and its rugged canyons, past the rapids and boulders, through the shallows with pebbled bottoms, down through pretty valleys with timbered hills into the ebb and flow of tidewater and finally to the Siletz Bay and the sea. In the old days, there was a boat building yard and a fish cannery operating on the Siletz as well as commercial fishing boats. The dock at Mo’s restaurant was kept busy by the river and bay traffic, and in the river you can still see the pilings where commercial places plied their trades. Nowadays, the only things that are left from those days are the pilings and the names of the spots where you can almost always catch a big one. The "Boat works", "Cannery", "Movie House" and "Duck Point" are all deep holes where salmon can be found. Coyote Rock itself has a very deep hole where not only salmon but sturgeon are found waiting to be caught.

Confirmed by 1 users | Last reported on September 24, 2023The boat launch is very active. I came in a rainy downpour. The rate is Passport America. Had to unhook in a deluge. My own Verizon mifi coverage was inconsistent. I tried their WIFI and it worked however they say they sometimes change the password several times a day due to misuse. I parked where it said to park to register however that interfered with the cars trying to launch the boats and I have to move mid-registration.
Mixed friendliness with the staff. Woke up to wood chippers making lots of noise. I had thought I'd stay 2 nights but was glad to get out. My site was too shady and damp. Would be better in the heat.

Riverside site was excellent. Staff very friendly. Cost quote included taxes. Busy in season, but figure a good chance of reservations on short notice. Received spotty cell calls and unreliable texts. 3G / 4G booster did nothing to improve an almost non-existent cell signal (Verizon). It will be a dependable destination for the mid-coast when I can do without internet connection. Sites are very narrow and tight with the neighbors.

We stayed here in early June. Our spot was right on the river and adjacent to the tent sites. The weekend had some noisy neighbors but things really cleared out Sunday and Monday was very peaceful. There are several long-term residents on the other end of the park (cheaper) but mostly it’s clean & tidy.
The place seems fairly well maintained and functional but is showing its age and is in need of some repair.
Fishing for OTS (other than salmon) was unproductive. The entire riverfront is dock so there is plenty of room to try your skills. Verizon coverage is borderline but if you’re outside in the right spot and hold your mouth just right, you can get two bars. You’re not going to be streaming video but it’s enough to write reviews on Campendium!
There are some nice private tent sites in the back woods if you like privacy.
Only a mile from the highway and a quick trip into town.

We had a spot right by the river on the far end in early June. It was dry but gets quite windy in the afternoons.
On Sunday night we had the entire end to ourselves. There are several long-term residents mostly in the cheaper non-river sites. Our site was big enough for a 30’ trailer & pickup with room to spare.
Water is OK & power stayed on. Be advised - there is no WiFi. I have Verizon and had one bar an no data inside the trailer. If you are in the right spot outside and hold your mouth the right way, you can get 2 bars and enough data to function but you won’t be streaming video.
Only about a ten minute drive into Lincoln City.
The entire riverfront has a pier to fish of of but in three days I saw nothing caught. There are boats for rent for crabbing or fishing.
The ownership is in transition and I hope the new owner will focus on updates and repairs.

We were on a site that backs up to a relatively busy road. The surfaces are almost all crushed rock - not comfortable to walk on. Insufficient barhroom facilities for the number of campers. Sites are very tight - definitely packing in as many campers as possible. The people working here are very nice though. And good access to the river for fishing and boating.

During the week is ok but on weekends it becomes the loudest family destination. Kids are running everywhere! All across your RV site even the parents won’t care and walk through your site. Lots of campfires it’s definitely more of the campground type then trailer park type of that’s your thing. Kids playing pranks in the bathrooms shutting lights off on you, parents let them run around like crazy while they all drink around fires and don’t care. Pretty sure one of them vomited outside my RV late one night. Sites are very tight as well. There is zero cell service for anyone and they do not provide wifi! They at least need to provide wifi knowing no one has service! You’ll need to drive several miles down to the end of the road and park there with many others trying to get service. Couldn’t wait to leave. Having said that when it’s not a weekend it’s nice to see the mountains and walk the docks. Not really any boats there though. The addition of tree houses looks neat though they’re really just sheds to sleep in on raised stilts. The laundry room is brand new!

This is paradise for fishermen. For us it was a last minute grab.
RVs are close together, especially in center section. Sites 61,62 looked the best and most private. All day and early evening pickups go by loading and unloading their boats then putting away the boat trailer. Other than that, the place was very quiet. No cell service but you can receive texts.
Our site had huge holes and roots in it that we marked so they would be seen. The maintenance men said they would take care of them after we left. Apologized for the rough condition.
If you fish, they will filet your fish and all that kind of stuff. (I don't fish.) You can rent boats, kayaks, saw some ski-doos, and bikes.
The dock is very nice.
Our site was pricey because we had a view of the Siletz River if there were no RVs in the way. Not worth the cost.
The entrance and exit to the "resort" is very steep onto Route 229. Not a lot of traffic.
The bathhouse was very clean with free showers.
There is a row of full-timers.
Again, if you fish, here is your spot! Go for it!
