When we first started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted more than just a few hours together at a traditional venue. We wanted a full weekend where our family and friends could relax, reconnect, celebrate, and make memories together—and Camp Clark gave us exactly that and so much more. We had 134 guests total, with about 90 people staying on the property, and the camp was perfectly set up for a large group. Our guests stayed in cabins, Adirondacks, tents, and campers, which made the whole weekend feel like one big summer camp reunion. One of our favorite things about Camp Clark was how much there was to do and explore. The beach is incredibly accessible, and we were able to have a bonfire and spend time enjoying the beautiful Oregon Coast. Everywhere we turned, there seemed to be another epically beautiful spot for photographs. And then there was the weather! It actually rained on our wedding day—which is not typical for July on the Oregon Coast. We had a backup plan and the option to move our ceremony indoors, but somehow the rain stopped at exactly the right time for our ceremony and held off for the rest of the evening. It honestly felt like a little bit of magic. Camp Clark gave us the freedom to create a wedding that truly felt like us. We were able to camp, gather around bonfires, eat meals together, practice yoga, explore the beach, dance, laugh, and celebrate with the people we love—all in one incredibly beautiful place. The entire property has such a special, relaxed, welcoming energy, and we are so grateful to the Camp Clark team for helping us create the wedding weekend of our dreams. A special shout out to Gary, who handled all of our emails, texts and pre-wedding visits! If you're looking for a venue for a wedding, family reunion, retreat, or other large gathering where your guests can truly spend time together, we cannot recommend Camp Clark enough. Thank you, Camp Clark, for giving us a place to make memories we will cherish forever!

We had a beautiful wedding at Camp Clark. Everyone was so helpful to make my daughters wedding special. If you want a majestic forest view or if you like a beach view for your ceremony, you can have it all. My daughter chose the Majestic forest view and played croquet in the grass over looking the beautiful Pacific Ocean and Cape Lookout. The banquet hall was a spacious addition for all our guests. It has all the tables and chairs you need plus beautiful hanging lights making any time of day classy. If you are looking for a majestic beautiful location, you will have it here at Camp Clark. The Cabins were nicely set up for the wedding party to get dressed in as well. They are equipped with beds, full mirror, bathroom, showers, a small fridge, coffee pot and much more.

Those seeking an oceanfront wedding or reception venue on the Oregon coast near Portland, OR, will adore Camp Clark. With exclusive access to 2.5 miles of secluded coastline and a lovely reception hall, you can live out your wedding dreams in complete privacy. Located just 12 miles north of Pacific City, Oregon and 16 miles south of Tillamook, Oregon, our lush woodlands and breathtaking views await you and your guests at this tranquil slice of heaven. This is a one-of-a-kind ceremony spot along the coast, just south of Cape Lookout is available all year round. Say your vows overlooking a rich landscape of emerald lawns or clean, sandy beach. The gentle melodies of waves reaching the shore will put your mind at ease, allowing you to savor your special moment with your partner. Blissfully wed, you can pop a bottle of bubbly and toast to the occasion before leading your guests to the reception hall. This beautifully designed space, fit for 200 people, blends the warm and cozy ambiance of a cabin while offering panoramic views of the lush natural surroundings. You're welcome to create a dreamy atmosphere by hanging elegant drapery or twinkling fairy lights from its vaulted ceilings. Your wedding party can also enjoy a stroll on the beach to nearby tidepools, hike in hundreds of acres of woodland or head to nearby Cape Lookout for panoramic views of the Oregon coastline. What's included: 12-hour rental (9 a.m. - 9 p.m.), indoor and outdoor venue (beach or ocean-view lawn), up to 25 8-person round tables plus chairs, a wedding party table, a wedding arbor and decorative lights.

ly! The reception hall comfortably fit just over 100 of our family and friends, with plenty of room for a band, dance floor, bar and buffet line (and you could easily pivot to an indoor ceremony if the weather was bad). The kitchen has ample space for storing food safely. We had about 40 of our guests camp out at the venue and enjoy a beach bonfire after the reception. The two cabins were functional for getting ready, though one has better lighting, so is probably preferable for the bride of there is lots of hair and makeup time involved. We used the amphitheater for signing our marriage license, and the patio of the reception hall for a cocktail hour. You can keep things rustic, or dress them up at this venue, as you prefer! The camp staff was so kind and flexible in letting us check out the space a few times and make sure our decorations would work. The administrative staff in Portland was also great at communicating about payments and the contract. This is an absolute gem of a place!
