  Loved It! Lulled to sleep by the ocean waves

  I think this place was great! Super friendly and helpful staff. Short walk to the beautiful dog friendly beach (just over the sand dunes - two minutes). They have crab nets you can borrow and a crab cleaning and cooking station to use. There’s even a little gym here! If you’re tent camping they have a few amazing tent sites right on the beach and a little beach bungalow for rent oceanfront too! I highly recommend this place for your Oregon coast stay.

  Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground

  Wonderful staff, nice stay for the night

  We were travelling up the coast into the night and not finding somewhere to tent camp when we stopped here. There was a sign that said not to camp without registering but the office was closed. A nice couple gave us the wifi password and we called the number on the sign. They were very helpful and told us where the tent sites were and to pay in the morning. We camped in a big meadow by the creek with not a single other camper there in the tent area. My son loved discovering a newt and slug by the creek in the morning. We also made use of the showers and laundry services. Price was 45 for tent site, which wasn't cheap but reasonable.

  Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground

  Great setup!

  All the campsites along 101 for miles were taken and we saw the sign to this place...

  Wow! We were surprised that they had a single tent camping site left. They were surprised too in fact. Anyway, the place is a legit resort. Its some 50 acres and the tent campsites reside away from the RV area a little ways. Enough to seem secluded. They situated the place perfectly. My words cannot describe the elegance. Its a great natural setting. They set you up with a map. $25 a night but well worth it. Your closest neighbor is like 50-75 yards away at least. Soft grass ground, picnic table, fire pit. We got a site placed right behind two large ponds huge meadows. It was great. Very clean. Staff are mostly there to run the main store and RV area and are very accommodating if you need assistance. Again, the buildings and RVs are a little walk (out of sight) of the tent camping area. Showers if you need them. Beach is a short 1/4 mile walk across 101. Water available. If you’re looking for deep forest rough camping this isnt it. If you’re looking for easy going camping and beauty, this is just the place.

  Lobster Creek Campground

  Easy, convenient, peaceful

  Wile road tripping to oregon from Los Angeles, we stopped here for the night. Relatively affordable, very clean, and not busy (at least while we were there). You can walk down to the river to fish, where there were also RVs camping on the beach. Tent camping is limited to very few sites but it looked like there was plenty of rv space. We set up for the night at the tent sites where we had a nice dinner with a beautiful night sky above us. The river is a good fishing spot, according to some local fisherman we met in the morning following our stay. There were bathrooms but they were locked. We had good service though. The site we chose wasn't particularly hidden or private, so anyone driving in or out of the road to the river, whether that's someone launching a boat or a ranger checking fishing licenses, they will have a full view of your entire site, something to consider if you require privacy.

  Home like

  For being walking distance from the busy little town of Bandon this place is was a gem. The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating. Also very very dog friendly, which is huge for us! Bathrooms were spotless and stocked with everything you could need! For those who partake, there is a lovely little smoking shack for Cannabis use . Our van fit perfectly in the spot designated for vans right next to two little tent sites! If we weren’t on a schedule to get down the California coasts we would have stayed another night!!!

  Last minute stop

  I snagged a tent site same day, Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. Super thankful to have a place for the night, but the tent sites are super small & on top of each other. I’m glad I can sleep in my Tacoma because I have a little more of a sound barrier and privacy.

  Closest to the Ocean

  A gorgeous area - the RV section was packed, but there were small-ish and not super private tent sites leading up to and right on a tiny bluff directly overlooking a lovely beach.  If the point is to be right off the water, this is it.  Plus, the tent sites are nicely set off from the RV section.  Very family friendly with some bays and cliffs to explore.  Crowded but professional (i.e. not overrun).

  Humbug Mountain State Park Campground

  A Standard Stop

  This is usually my first camping stop (tent camping) when I enter Oregon.  Does not look like much from the road but a choice little camping spot.  Like all Oregon State Parks it is well maintained, great facilities and of course hot showers.  You can access the coast and beach and hike the hills.

  This area of the Oregon Coast is a must see.

  Tent camping available

  They had a backpacking section for tent camping. Kinda far from the rest of camp and not very private. Good overall.

  Humbug Mountain State Park Campground

  One of the Best!

  Oregon does it right! While there are traditional spots for RV and tent camping, the Hike and Bike area was awesome. Each spot is private with a table and fire pit. Showers are included in your fee, the campground is quiet, and there is a nice walk to the beach (dogs are allowed). The campground is well maintained and clean. Very relaxing.

  Best beach camping!

  I love this place for the tent camping on the beach. The sites off the beach are great but I couldn’t stay here and not stay on the beach.

  Bullards Beach State Park Campground

  Love this campground

  Bullard is a must see if you are on the Oregon Coast. The campground is full of overgrown greenery, it has many RV, Tent sites and a couple Yurts. The best part about Bullards State Park is the Beach and the lighthouse. The beach is awesome for beach combing with clam fossils, agates and lots of drift wood. The tide can be a little crazy, so keep an eye out.

  Awful

  This campsite is not at all ocean side. If you want cramped rv camping with zero tree coverage this is what you’ll get. Tent sites look nice but this is very much city camping.

  Decent close to the coast

  Good location close to the coast. Had a straight tent site which was basic as would be expected. The big negative is that the sites are close together so there isn't much privacy.

  Umpqua Lighthouse State Park Campground

  Loud, Crowded

  People in other reviews say the sites aren’t so close they’re on top of each other- idk where they have stayed in other places but these sites are so close together that in my tent site I could make eye contact and hear everything other people were talking about. Even in the yurt- I could hear everyone around me, even hear other sites that were farther away- like full conversations. This campground has way too many sites- and with fees it still ends up being expensive at $27 a night for a tiny tent site. Loud, crowded, don’t stay here if you want peace and quiet. Good for families or groups I guess- as a solo traveler I definitely will not ever come back to this site.

  Bastendorff Beach Park

  Large campground right off the beach

  This campground seems better for RVs and cans rather than tent camping. Nice facility with playground, bathrooms, lots of amenities. Views of the beach/ocean from the playground area. There is free dispersed camping just down the road at Bastendorf beach under a small grove of trees, vault toilets only.

  Horsfall Campground

  Great place for the sand dunes.

  We did a last minute camping trip and most places were full. We mostly tent camp. There was very little grass and only a couple of tents. It was a parking lot with numbers for your site. It was loud and no privacy. Would be a great place to camp if you had sand toys and were there to party.

  Oregon Dunes KOA

  Something for everyone.

  Overall great place to have fun! However you like to camp -- from dry tent camping, to full hook ups, and even luxury private lodges. Lots of extra stuff for entertainment of all ages. And connected to Steve's ATV rental and the Dunes. Best ATV spot for sure.

  Definitely my favorite camp to date.

  Winter camping at this beautiful county park has lots of room and few campers. The river is awesome and the Myrtlewood trees and craggy rocks are so pretty. Spaces have electric and water with a dump station. Also many tent sites.

  It’s great for an RV park

  Lovely spot. Best TV park we’ve ever stayed at. Sites feel more like “camping” and less like “parking lot” like many RV places. More open space. Nice dog park too. Tent sites are very spaced out and lovely.

  Always Clean

  This campground is always clean. Nice flush toilets make you want to use them even if you have an RV! We’ve tent camped and brought our camp trailer. I’ve been going for ten years. Awesome trail! And it’s right on the river. Campsites are pretty well spaced out and there’s always a spot available!

  Quiet out of the way campground

  Our son-in-law took us to this campground where we stayed over night over the 4th of July holiday in 2018. On this occasion we were tent camping. It was a quiet and enjoyable camp. the amenities were clean and well maintained. We will be going back there when we are in the area again.

  Paradise along the river

  Enjoyed tent camping along the river. Small trails lead you down to the trail from camp site. Very clean campground. Camp host Kevin was wonderful and full of information about the area. Had fun playing horseshoe that was in the campground. Loves that they had fire buckets out through the campground so fired can be put out completely. Definitely will be coming back.

  Decent stopover on the way down the coast

  Ok for car camping, this campground provides a decent stopover point on the drive down the CA coast highway. It is fairly close to the highway, so you can hear highway traffic. Not recommended for relaxing tent camping. Good night's sleep for van camping or RV camping. Spots are close together but fairly well separated by trees and shrubs. Bathrooms clean, flush toilets, even hot water.

  Sunset Bay State Park Campground

  Unimpressive Facilities

  The weekend we spent at Sunset Bay was busy with limited availability. In our group was my mother-in-law who requires ADA facilities, and a potty training toddler. All of the designated ADA sites were full. Standard sites require an extensive, uneven, walk to the restroom, a problem for those needing ADA facilities, potty trainers, and middle of the night restroom users. The only play area is across the street (there is a path that crosses under the road) it provides only horseshoe toss pits, beach volleyball nets, and a basketball hoop. We stayed in A loop which is along the road and adjacent to the ranger station/entrance. There were limited barriers resulting in loud road noise, car lights at all hours, and a lot of wind. Tent sites, yurts, motor home sites, and dedicated hiker/biker sites are available, though tent sites are not level. Included in the cost of the camping fee is entrance to the botanical gardens with your vehicle permit, guided hikes to the tide pools, and educational events, such as animal lectures, in the amphitheater.
