Along the way, hikers will be treated to expansive views of the surrounding landscape. This hike makes for an incredible workout, due to tall dunes and soft sand. Quality wildlife watching is also available at the campground.

At least 3 spots near or right off the road. Good road. Very windy. Secluded.

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.

Stayed here last night in free space next to Regular RV park but right on the Water and even had a picnic table with grassy area. Away from the traffic very quiet. And a short walk over to Casino.

Nice area lots of privacy clean

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.

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
Traveler
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.
Guide
Parking area with a view good for overnight stop with rigs under 40 ft. There's a sign that says $20 per night. We couldn't find anyone to pay or a phone number.
Traveler
I spent one night here on a trip to southern Oregon and it was a very quiet and safe place to stay. The pit toilets were clean, the water spigots were easily accessible, and the site had an excellent pad for my tent. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

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.

Visited Oct 1st, 2024 and park was closed. You can see in pic you have to call / pre-pay at parks office in Coquille rather than any kind of local pay.

Visited Oct 1st, 2024 and park looks abandoned and overgrown more than just this summer. You can see in the pic the entrance (road guard) is overgrown like it's been shut a long time.

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.
GuideAfter going right over bridge at 8 miles, you have to turn right over a narrow bridge 2-3 miles further. Sign was missing!!! Looked like beautiful site with several camp spots and vault toilet but all was closed on Oct 1, 2024 visit. So dissapoonting
Legend
The main draw of this campground is its proximity to the cute town of Florence. We don't tow a car, so being able to camp within walking distance of shops and restaurants is always a treat.
This campground used to have boondock / dry camp spots for a lower cost, but now all sites are FHU. The sites are packed pretty close together, and wouldn't be pleasant for an extended stay, but for a night or two it's find. There's a lot of activity with the fishing boats which is fun to watch.
There's a dump station for a fee for non-campers, laundry, showers, a book exchange in the office, trash dumpsters and recycling.
Guide
We loved this campground. Hiking and fishing at lake 50 yards away, near the light house, Off Highway vehicle park, beaches, super clean, warm showers, and good size spaces.
Scout
The sites are all mostly seperated by trees which is nice. We can as a first come first serve and there was no issue getting a site
TravelerIf it wasn’t already dark, I would have gone to a campground for $10 more. But it’s patrolled and a safe, level parking lot. Perimeter spaces have electric hookups.
GuideThis 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!
Traveler
Enjoyed our spot! Near the restrooms and a large, reservable group area too. Meticulously kept facilities and grounds. You can hear the ocean from the campground, but it is a ways off. Trails to the dunes and an abundance of thick foresty vegetation on all 3 sides of our spot. We love it here!
GuideCamping 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.
Guide
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.

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.
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.
GuideStaff super nice and accommodating. Lots of trees. Most sites have a private feel. Close to beach. Very nice day use area with awesome view of ocean. Clean. Near Charleston and a nice fish market and other amenities.
