Newport, OR
Beverly Beach State Park sits in woods between Cape Foulweather and Yaquina Head on the Oregon Coast. Its campground along Spencer Creek is one of the largest in the state, and some sites and the day-use area lie a short walk from miles of ocean beach. The park is convenient to whale-watching viewpoints, tidepools, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, and restaurants and shops in Newport. Campers can choose full hookup, electrical, tent, and yurt sites, and the park offers a Welcome Center, a playground, and a reservable group meeting yurt. Wikipedia describes it as about 5 miles north of Newport.
