    Located at the state's westernmost tip, and perched over the Pacific Ocean, Cape Blanco features a 19th-century lighthouse and an early Irish settler's home. Use our private, sheltered campsites as your base camp while you enjoy the park's history, trails and rugged coastline.

    More than eight miles of hiking trails lead to the beach, viewpoints of ocean vistas, fishing spots along the Sixes River, and the lighthouse. On horseback, follow a seven-mile trail or enjoy a 150-acre open riding area across from the horse camp.

    Horse campers will enjoy twelve new pipe corrals, installed in early 2018 in partnership with Oregon Equestrian Trails. These corrals are available first-come, first-served for Cape Blanco horse campers. Those with additional horses can trailer-tie them or use portable corrals.

    Rimmed by Sitka spruces and shore pines, this crisp, clean campground occupies a groomed lawn overlooking Floras Lake in Langlois Oregon. Pet Friendly, consisting of a mixture between RV and Tent sites, this campground also houses laundry and shower facilities, RV dump station, firewood sales, and free Wi-Fi. Reservations are recommended during peak months, but not required. Separated from the Pacific Ocean by narrow dunes, this beautiful campground has long since been used by wind sport enthusiast. Kite boarding, sailboarding, and kayak rentals are available right next door to the campground, along the lake side trail. A boat launch in the day-use area provides opportunities for motorized and none motorize boaters to enjoy the lake and join in on the fun. A footbridge at the day-use area outlet leads to the dunes and the long, wild beach. A short walk beyond the picturesque lake, the adjacent shore connects into the Oregon Coast Trail, and provides an amazing route for anyone looking to explore the region. The outlet travels 8 miles connecting into the New River; this provides a one of a kind easy kayak or canoe trip with gorgeous migrating birds all along the corridor. Duck hunting exist in a section of this corridor for those that brave the winter season.

    Enjoy a clean, secure, and quiet RV park with a warm glow of café lights in the trees.The b.side motel+rv is a micro-park providing eight full hook-up spaces with 30AMP electric, water and sewer connections, free Wi-Fi for streaming, sans cable. Due to our beautiful trees we cannot guarantee your satellite will work. We don’t want to disappoint you so If camping is all about your satellite TV, we recommend another park.

    The RV park was designed between tall Cypress, Douglas Fir, and Spruce trees and is shaped like a horseshoe that wraps around behind the motel. The parking pad and adjacent area is compacted rock. Spaces 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 have small grass/woodchip yards with picnic tables. Space 1 and 8 do not have yards, but do have tables. All spaces are back in and for larger travel trailers and 5th wheels parking for your tow rig gets a little tight. Guests have access to private RV bathrooms with showers and coin-operated laundry facilities. We are located within Bandon City limits and camp fires are not permitted. If you have your own propane fire ring, these are permitted with approval of management. The motel and RV park are smoke and vape free, we do provide designated and separate open-air seating areas for those who enjoy cannabis and tobacco products. Well behaved pets are welcome to stay in the RV park.

    Our location provides a bit of wind break and tends to remain sunny when the fog rolls into town and at the beach. Easy walkability to grocery shopping and supplies, is a 15-minute walk into Old Town and a short drive to Bandon’s beautiful beaches just a couple miles away in both directions.

    Sunshine Bar Campground

    Beautiful and FREE!!!

    Awesome little campground in the thick of the forest that backs up to the Elk River. The drive there is a narrow, winding road along the Elk River, lush green ferns and trees, and over a dozen small waterfalls. The small campground is free to campers and managed by the United States Forest Service. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are vault toilets. The campsites are accessible by vehicle, making it perfect for truck camping or tent camping. There is no cell phone reception or nearby services.

    Hidden Gem

    This little RV park is a hidden Gem tucked along the Rogue River. The campground is kept up very nicely, with beautiful trees and lush greenery around. The host is a nice older man who was very accommodating. We got he Wifi code and was able to stream our Netflix which was nice because we were rained in. The park is also close to the town with many restaurants and trails close by.

    Great spot, easy on/off access

    Cruised in here just after dark without a reservation - was trying to book as we were driving and then lost reception and went in anyway. Park-like, well-maintained campground in upper loop, didn’t get to the lower loop but bookmarked it for the next time - walkable to the beach from those sites. Several sites available, and there was a WiFi connection at the check in board that made the required online reservation easy. Camp host came out to make sure everything was working okay, even though it was technically after hours for her - super nice. Our spot was a little tight for negotiating a 20 foot van, anything larger would be a challenge but we saw those there too. Great bath/shower setup with restrooms on one side, 4 separate showers on the other. Park staff was friendly and helpful. Only downside was proximity to 101 - truck traffic with air brakes went on intermittently until about 10pm and started up again before dawn. The campground sits pretty much under the highway by location - visually you wouldn’t know it, but the audio is a reminder. Not a big deal at all given all the other positives. Great spot.

    Nice campground with views and services.

    Staying in one of the furnished cabins. Great RV and Airstream trailer sites as well. Full hookups. Marginal WiFi available. Use my phone most of the time because poor WiFi. Cabins are fairly new but mine had some needed repairs already

    Nice spot directly on beach!

    I needed to spend a couple of days on business in Coos Bay and the Sun Outdoors site turned out to be very convenient! Decent sites with good room, OK bathrooms (some were trashed with sand and the water was at best luke warm in the bathrooms. Pretty pricey to stay here, so when I needed to add an extra day they had plenty of spaces.

    Maria C Jackson State Park

    Forrest Preserve Area

    In 1946, Maria Clopton Jackson, a Portland philanthropist and widow of Oregon Journal publisher Charles Samuel“Sam” Jackson, helped an organization called Save the Myrtle Woods purchase forty-two acres of land on Brummit Creek in Sitkum for a park. In 1950, the property became the Maria C. Jackson State Park. For the dedication, Jackson was chauffeured in a black limousine over miles of winding gravel road. No longer maintained, the park survives as a Myrtlewood Grove of Interest.

    Can’t wait to come back

    This was a real treat on our Coastal trip of Oregon. Nestled back along Cape Blanco near the lighthouse we were tucked away in the trees and a hike away to the ocean. Take a short drive down the road and you’re at the light house with some beautiful spots to hike and see the rock formations in the ocean.

    Mountains and beach in one experience

    This was the best state park we have ever stayed at! It is in high demand, so you have to book out in advance if you'd like to stay multiple nights. We were able to get 2 nights, but had to move sites

    We have a 37' travel trailer, and had no problem backing in, and the second night had a pull through site. The sites are spacious with a fire pit and picnic table, and room for a second vehicle. The second night we were closer to the beach entrance which was nice, but the highway traffic was a little loud.

    The bathroom facilities were the cleanest I had been in at a state park, and each campground had park hosts who were very helpful and actually clean the sites up for turnaround.

    Our favorite part was the private beach, with a creekside that is a little more tame for little children. Would love to come back!

    Wonderful Glamping spot

    Camping on the beach can indeed be a hit or miss experience, but Bay Point Landing has managed to create a little slice of outdoor luxury. With its thoughtful layout and comprehensive amenities, it's a far cry from the all-too-common parking lot scenario. The indoor facilities cater to both children and adults, ensuring that everyone has something to enjoy, rain or shine. Indoor amenities included a cash less laundry mat, indoor lap pool, exercise room, Kids den, a game room and another area for adults where happy hour was held including a local musician. The outdoor amenities seem just as considerate, including a playground for the kids, a bowling green and a dog wash with soap provided. The restrooms were clean and the shower where private rooms included the shower, sink and a toilet. Some sites are right next to the bay which did have a sewer smell once a day for about 30 minutes. Not sure if it was when the tide came in or out. We were in site 37 and had good internet access. Be careful following GPS instructions. Both RV Life and google sent us in the wrong direction off the 101. Follow the instructions provided by Bay Point Landing.

    Quiet spot near the Oregon dunes

    The campsite feels secluded for a car campground. The sites for the tent are a little walk behind the picnic bench. The site was quiet and surrounded by trees. It was full but didn’t feel like too many people. The hike to the dune was fun.

    Rundown facilities, no privacy

    We stayed at Bastendorff Campground in August 2024 in tent site 15.  Going in, I didn't know much about the campground besides it's close to Charleston and Coos Bay and it has showers.  It turns out that all but one of the showers was out of order.  The one shower that worked was weak but the temperature didn't fluctuate so it was ok.  Overall I was disappointed I didn't make our reservation at Sunset Bay State Park.

    Pros:

    -Close to nice beaches like Bastendorff and Sunset Bay.

    -I got cell reception at our campsite.

    -The bathrooms and the one shower were kept clean.

    -There is a playground and an open field with a view of the ocean.

    -Not many insects in the park; no mosquitoes.

    Cons:

    -The bushes between the campsites are small and thin and there aren't many trees, so there's no privacy and not enough trees to hang a hammock.

    -The loop with the tent sites is right next to Beach Bound RV Park where you may hear the serene sounds of a backhoe scraping up rocks, truck engines, or guys cutting logs with chainsaws.

    -The men's bathrooms: the doors on the stalls don't lock and there are no (working) hand dryers or paper towels.

    -Most of the showers were out of order.

    -There are no gray water disposal drains like I've used at other campgrounds to wash dishes.

    -There is a foghorn nearby that woke me up one foggy morning.

    -There was trash in the bushes at our site as well as small bits of litter throughout the campground.

    -The tent sites are just sandy dirt so when it rained everything got muddy.

    -There is no trail from the park to Bastendorff Beach; the beach is a short drive down the road.

    -The locals: while we were there in August someone nearby kept lighting off mortar fireworks around 10:00 -10:30 pm, and one night someone drove by honking their car horn.

    Hit and Miss

    When I booked this, I was under the impression we'd be able to see the Ocean from the park. Don't get your hopes up. Only certain spots actually get that perk, and "premium" sites like the one I reserved are not among those that get a view. In fact, we were more than a little confused that the "premium" site we paid good money for landed us right next to the dumpsters and sewer station. Our "lawn" area between us and the nearest neighbor was a narrow patch of powdery dirt and dying weeds. From where we were, it looked like all the camper spaces on the Southeast end of the park were in the same situation. Zero shade, zero green grass, and campers wedged as closely together as the law allows.

    The activity room in the lodge building was a plus. The kids had a blast playing ping-pong, arcade games, and foosball. We arrived at about ten minutes til 4pm, and the gal working the counter took every effort to communicate that to us as clearly as possible that we needed to leave by 4. If you want to have fun up there get an early start.

    The showers/bathroom were nice, albeit in desperate need of ventilation.

    This area of the OR coast is beautiful and there are plenty of things to see and do. It's not so touristy as the northern OR coast, and not as populated as the central OR coast. The beach is probably a 10 minute walk from most sites, which is okay unless you want to take chairs, picnic basket, etc, then you'll be driving to Ophir beach, which seemed to have its share of recreational smokers and the kind of "pilgrims" you tend to see along the 101.

    My main problem with Honeybear was the price. We paid a premium price for a spot that ended up looking nothing like the photos I was looking at.  There were no trees or shade, no ferns or other foliage. It was just a patch of semi-flat dirt. Walking through the park I did see a lot of far prettier spaces through the grounds where there were lots of trees, or an ocean view so I'd highly suggest you do your research before reserving a space. Avoid spaces 74 and up, unless you're fine camping in a parking lot.

    Full disclosure: I did book this spot 1 month before our arrival date, so there wasn't much left at that point… that's on me. Even so, the term "premium" just feels like false advertising to me.  Premium price, yes. Premium location, no.

    Not great for starlink

    Full time van lifers who work remote. Very dense in a valley spot, starlink would not work great for a work day. So many bugs when we arrived at night.

    Wouldn’t dare try going down the steep rough dirt road knowing internet wouldn’t be great.
