IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION

Royce Finel is a great camp for year round camping. The low elevation reduces the likelyhood of snow in the winter. Things to do at this camp include hiking to the beach (2 miles), renting and bringing down canoes from Scouters' Mountain, for which leaders will need to have safe current swim and safety afloat cards. Only a short distance away, Scouts and their leaders can visit Fort Clatsop National Memorial where Lewis and Clark made their winter camp. The new Fort to Sea trail from Sunset Beach to Fort Clatsop is now finished. It is about 7 miles long one way and the start of the Trail is only two miles from Royce Finel. Visit the Astor Column in Astoria, on a clear day you can see 360 degrees in all directions, from the mountains to the ocean, or visit the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria, Oregon. You can travel to Fort Stevens and see World War II Battery Russell and the Bark the Peter Iredale on the beach in Warrenton.
