About
Lincoln State Park, near Lincoln City, offers 274 real campsites: 148 Electric, 89 Non-Electric, 31 Primitive, 5 Youth Tent, and 1 Group Camp (plus 10 Cabin and 16 Cottage units, excluded from the site count as lodging). Water and sewer hookups are described only as available "at select electric sites," not a hard count. The only equipment-length figure published (20 ft) is explicitly tied to "most non-electric sites" and may not reflect the park's true electric-site maximum. Lake Lincoln was fully drained for dam repairs and is still refilling; the swimming beach and boat rental remain closed.
