The camp was initially established as Camp Clatsop in 1927 as a summer training area for the Oregon National Guard. In 1959, it was renamed Camp Rilea, after Major general Thomas E. Rilea, the Adjutant General of Oregon.

In 1940, the camp was federalized for World War II. It was returned to the state in 1947.
