Bullards Beach is a large, family-oriented park located at the mouth of the Coquille River, two miles north of Bandon. The campground is nestled among shore pines and protected from strong ocean breezes. Visitors can enjoy strolling on the beach, riding horses, exploring a lighthouse and excellent fishing and crabbing in the river.
Horse Play Equestrians will enjoy the park's horse camp and access to 11 miles of trails and four miles of beach and dunes. Sites feature double or quadruple corrals.
Hiking and Biking A mostly paved path to the beach begins near the campground registration booth. The path weaves for just over a mile through the open, grassy fields and lowland forest to the sandy dunes. Enjoy views of the Coquille River and Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge on the opposite bank.
Explore 4.5 miles of beach at the end of Bullards Beach Road. Bring your mountain bike to ride the hard-packed sand along the edge of the surf, or just enjoy a stroll along the ocean shore.
A refurbished hiker/biker camp popular with those hiking the Oregon Coast Trail offers storage lockers with solar powered USB charging ports.

Guide
The sites themselves aren’t very private, but we knew what we were getting when we booked the campground. It was an excellent spot to explore the Bandon area, with beautiful beaches a short drive away. We enjoyed the clean showers and restrooms.
GuideLarge, private campsites. Friendly ranger staff, and fantastic beach a short drive or walk away.
Traveler
Perfect for a weeknight stop when on the road, bathrooms were clean enough. Quiet on a summer weeknight. Beautiful forest.

We had fun here, great beach & scenery. Campsites are fairly close together, not a lot of privacy but it's still a good place.
Make sure you visit Face Rock SP down the road (6 miles) & Old Town Bandon.
Camp workers really keep this place clean. FHU at most of the sites ( B loop closed at this time).
ScoutAnother excellent Oregon state park. Nice rangers. Proximity to beautiful Bandon.
TravelerLarge, but quiet campground in the forest, but moments away from the sand. The sites are private, dog friendly, and well maintained. 5 minutes from town, but feels more remote. We are definitely coming back.
As of tomorrow (10/14/23) they are closing for the off season to replace their sewer main.
TravelerThis park is a delightful place, the sites are well spaced with vegetation between providing privacy. Showers were hot, the park well maintained; a great place for kids, for bikes. A 3 mile round trip walk to the beach is just the ticket after hours on the road.

A small drive out of Wallowa and a gorgeous spot with well maintained facilities. Right next to the rolling wonderful Bear Creek Trail.
LegendWe stopped here for a night on our coastal trek and what a treat. We were greeted by a super friendly and informative Ranger who offered the “not to be missed” highlights and met Sheriff Deputy Beck in his rounds thru the campground. He gave the kids stickers and offered glow necklaces for safety. We had a great stopover. I’d highly recommend this beautiful Oregon state park

Great spot for families. There are plenty of things to do from fishing, swimming, and even renting a "peddle" boat for a leg workout while taking your trip around the lake.
GuideLots of families at this campground. Very nice bathrooms.
TravelerI come back here often. Campsites are quiet and mostly private with easy access to the beach. Clean bathrooms and helpful camp hosts
GuideThe B spots are pretty awesome. The beach is 0.75 miles from the B campground but it's beautiful and so worth it in the end. Lots of different places to explore. Restaurants not too far. Our favorite was the station one. Great coffee shops. Everything is clean and well taken care of. Highly recommend.
TravelerBig big area for recreation. Camp sites are nice and always clean. They have yurts for a decent price too. Fishing and crabbing is so much fun off the bank and jetty.
LegendThis is a “family campground” so make of this what you will, but it wasn’t my favorite. Sites were very close and situated so people are constantly cutting through on their way to the bathroom, dog walks, bike rides, or whatever. Got to listen to pretty much every word my neighbors said for their entire camping trip.
Everything was nice and well kept, good programming from the rangers, nice camp hosts, but can’t get over the total lack of privacy. Also, the beach was pretty far for a place with beach in the name!
The yurts were pretty fancy looking, and it was thoughtful of them to provide small lights along shady trails - see photos for examples.
RangerA huge campground, pretty populated and busy, there’s a good 50/50 of RV’s and tents. Seems people come to stay for a week or two. There’s children riding motorcycles in campground, running about, so don’t expect a relaxing camping trip but still well worth the stay. We had the prettiest campground covered in green ivy, ferns, and snapdragons. There were a lot of what looked like gopher holes in the campground and we woke up to about 5 new ones lol. We did leave out a bag of bread that was torn apart and our apples had big bite marks out of them, im assuming raccoons? That was mostly our fault for leaving them out. The space is level for a tent with barley any bugs out for July. The bathrooms were well kept and clean! Looking forward to coming back again for a longer stay.
LegendThis is a great park. We stayed here for 3 nights on our Oregon Coast trip. It's clean, quiet, and well maintained. It's just a short drive into town for anything you forgot. Lots of beach options and the lighthouse is really cool!
ScoutStaying in loop A. Camp sites are well spaced from each other with privacy. Great place to stay
GuideAnother great Oregon State Park. Lots of hiking and bike trails. Clean restrooms/ showers. Lots of space in the campsite with shade in the afternoon. Great bike ride to beach and visited light house. Quiet in the evening. No campfires allowed due to wildfire danger.
RangerThis place was packed. The site had a table and fire pit. Enough flat spot to put my little tent. Most everyone here had RVs and there are Yurts interspersed throughout the campground. Restrooms were large and clean.
LegendThis state park is just north of the quaint town of Bandon. There are a wide variety of campsites, to include yurts. It is very difficult to get reservations for this popular campground (CG). We tried as soon as the reservation window opened and it was already booked. So, we didn’t actually camp here, but did a walk through to check it out for future trips. I’m glad we did because some of the sites that are listed as being able to get into with a 39’ fifth wheel would be a little challenging and you’d have to park your tow vehicle somewhere else. We felt sites 22 and 54 would be the best fit for us. There is a nice path going to the beach or you could also drive the short distance to the beach access parking area. This is a nice park, but we’d probably look somewhere else when in the area. It’s a perfect place for families.
TravelerWe spent a weekend at Lake Selmac camping in our RV with our four kiddos. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. The new Owners of the Marina were wonderful as well. The campsites were all so beautiful with all the amenities one may want. You really felt removed from the world while there BUT not to far from a grocery store that has all you need. Boat rentals are cheap and very easy to access. I highly recommend this place!
TravelerThe owners are great. Turns out her parents owned this and she now got it from the people who bought from her parents. They have gone beyond with the tee pees fishing hate to leave.
TravelerState park has good location. Has beach access within the park. , camped with our small RV and even though other campers were close our site was very private. Quiet at night, Bandon is a nice town with a cute little downtown with a local cheese factory and a place that makes hard cider.
RangerWe just randomly stopped here while traveling down HWY 101 in December. There was hardly anyone there and we parked almost alone, even tho the RV spaces are technically close together. It’s in the trees, there is a walking path. Dog friendly. Well kept grounds, yet the facilities were closed for covid or winter. Overall a nice place.
TravelerThis is a nice place to stay if you need somewhere to sleep last minute, but the sites are so close together with no privacy. Nearly every site had kids running around screaming so I don’t suggest it if you’re wanting a peaceful stay.
GuideNice campground that’s within walking distance to the beach. Not a lot of private sites but there are a few. Several sights with hookups for trailers and sites are good sized. We were there in early September and the campground was fairly quiet. No campfires because of fire restrictions then but you can use a portable propane powered fire pit.
