Stepping Stones designated campsite

The Clatsop Community Action executive director walked council through how the Seaside camp runs — intake, code of conduct, case management, safety protocols — and said the structured rules have eliminated the assaults and rapes reported at the old unregulated camp.

The camp's day-to-day manager, a retired Astoria police officer, described on-site staffing, trauma-informed care, permit renewals, and enforcement — explaining that the threat of exit, paired with Seaside's no-camping-elsewhere rule, is what keeps the camp orderly.
