Best Cabin Camping near Coos Bay, OR

The campground itself is pretty typical of Thousand Trails. There are only a few sites that are FHU, one of which we stayed in after moving from a no sewer site after a few days. There are, however, grey water disposals throughout the park. When we were there, they were unusable because the water in them wouldn't drain. The rangers advised us not to use them and to dump stuff in the toilets. The toilets near our first site were closed for maintenance, so it was a trek to dispose of grey water.

We did have someone steal a full 5 gallon gas can which was not locked up while we were there. Our neighbors had their propane tank stolen. The Rangers indicated that they do have people who walk through the park and take things, mostly bikes. Locking up things is a must. We used the pool, the hot tubs, and the main lodge showers, all of which were nice. We will definitely stay there again. The Rangers were helpful and professional. They charge $5 per package delivery if it is RV Parts or Medications.

A great place to camp along the gorgeous Oregon coast and everything there is to do in Port Orford. If you are hiking the Oregon Coast Trail, this is a great spot to take a break, or to spend a weekend camping and also enjoying nearby activities. I appreciate the campground has recylxing, and a dog-friendly cabin if you want to stay with your pet. Dogs love the beaches nearby! You are just 17 minutes to fun Port Orford stops like the One Lump Or Two coffee shop (which sells model airplane gear in the front of the shop-- small town quirks!) and Redfish Grill.

One of the hilights of our visit was when we went kayaking with South Coast Tours in the waters off Samuel H. Boardman State Park and you can see some amazing things at low tide, like starfish, sea urchins, harbor seals, and lots of mussels. At higher tides they'll take you through sea caves and some of the arches near Nelly's cove. We also did some really nice hikes. My favorite in the area was down to Secret Beach!

GREGIRY JUNO 3D HYDRO PACK REVIEW

As a Dyrt Ranger, sometimes I get to review camping gear. On this trip, I brought along my new Gregory Juno 3D Hydro Pack. It was really roomy, and in addition to three liters of water also held all the clothes I needed for four days, including warmer, bulkier layers. My sneakers fit nicely in the stretchy front mesh pocket and the generous side mesh compartments were plenty big enough for snacks.

I love how comfortable this pack is, with padded breathable straps and the "vapor span" design to the back that keeps you from getting too sweaty while alao providing cushioning. As a 5'6 size 8-10 gal, I was really pleased with the fit. The bag sits nicely on my hips and stops short of my neck.

The hydro pack is sturdy and easy to use. I do wish this bag had a clearer place to put my laptop for when I'm traveling, but thats really my only complaint. I was pleasantly surprised by how many pockets there are, including an interior zipper pocket with key ring. The pockets are all a bright color that contrasts with the exterior, making it extra easy to look for you things. No dark cavernous interior swallowing your stuff!

Very pleased with my first Gregory pack. Its comfortable and thoughtdully designed in a way that far surpasses my big North Face backpacking pack. I definitely want to get more Gregory products in the future as I replace my older camping gear and invest in new pieces.

This campground is always a safe bet any time of the year. Pets, children and groups are very welcome at this campground with nearby lakes, sand and ocean access. Rent kayaks and canoes at the lake. Visit the rustic and historic log cabin store with a southern exposure and bask in the afternoon sun. Kids can swim in a shallow roped off area out in front of the store with ample outdoor seating. Located near the ocean, this campground is protected from the heavy winds often experienced in other coastal campgrounds. Honeyman has access and a wonderful walking trail to Cleawox lake, where the dunes literally slope right into the lake. Sandboarding is popular on the hillside of the dunes adjacent to the lake. Fishing, non-motorized boating and protection from winds are the plusses at this nearby lake to the campground. Back at the campground, there are many loops for different kids of campers. Those with ATV's, Yurt camping, RV camping and tent camping. The hiker/biker campground is very quiet and private.

The quaint town of Florence is just a few miles north with historic downtown shopping located on riverfront. Locally owned coffee shop, Siuslaw Coffee Roasters offers comfy fireside seating with a view of the river and the historic and recently restored Siuslaw Bridge, designed and engineered by the famous Conde M. McCullough. Downtown Florence offers many specialty gift shops, eateries and fine dining as well as family pizza and locally owned BJ's Ice Cream Parlor with a huge variety of salt water taffy.

Across Highway 101 from Honeyman is Wohink Lake, where motorized boats are often seen pulling water-skiers. A great place to spend the day if you have a large group or have your own motor boat. Lots of sun, swimming areas and parking make this a convenient place to spend a day.

I have found this campground to be completely reserved 6 months in advance. They always seem to have sites available if you arrive early enough. I've never been turned away if I've arrived early.

Located in Coos Bay, Oregon this state campground is one of our favorites. The sites are privacy and surrounded by trees. The beach is only a 5 minute walk from the campground. There are nearby hiking trails and you can hear the seals being noisy out in the ocean. The sites have water and electric, but no dump station. The WiFi service is poor. The bathrooms were dirty and cold. They were also closed for a few months until the second day of our stay. The campground hosts are helpful.

We stayed on site A33. This site was easy to back into and it was plenty big enough for our 32’ foot trailer and truck. This site sits close yo Hwy 101, so you will get some road noise, but it wasn’t so loud that it out a damper on our camping experience. Site A33 is mostly private and does have ample room in the rear of the site for about 2 small tents or 1 medium / large tent.

The camp hosts and StTe park employees were very approachable and friendly.

Tugman is well suited for all varieties of campers to from singles, couples and families and can accommodate tents, trailers, 5th wheels, vans and has yurts available for rental.

The adjacent park has plenty of green space, a boat launch, a playground, picnic tables and restroom ( very family friendly).

The campground is very close to several activities to include boating, fishing, paddling boarding, kayaking, hiking and recreational riding on the dunes. It’s also close to Lakeside, Reedsport and Coos Bay that if you forget supplies or looking for alternate to cooking camp style - you have options to get or find what you need.

I visited Cape Blanco twice this summer. Once in early June, and again in late July. Early June was definitely greener, lusher, more beautiful with wildflowers, but this place won't disappoint late in the summer either.

One of my favorite campgrounds of the summer (and that is saying a lot as I camped in about 25 different places). Cape Blanco is on top of a cliff and very wooded. It is small-ish with less than 20 sites for cars/rvs/tents, several ocean view yurts/cabins, a completely separate Hiker/Biker area off in the woods and an equestrian camp nearby. They don't accept reservations so this is a great place to luck into or make a destination if you're winging it (as always no res needed for hiker/biker).

Hiker/Biker was really off on it's own and very private. There was an REI sponsored storage box station complete with USB charging ports, bike stand, tools, shared fire pit and picnic table. Each "site" which are just unnumbered clearings had its own bike rack near by, and despite being completely separate it was only a short walk to a flush toilet and bathroom. Though at night that walk was very, very dark as you had to walk through the trees. This is a very shaded campground.

The Coastal Trail runs through camp and you can follow it North for a half mile through the trees while listening to the ocean waves. You'll pop out into a meadow of wild flowers and tall grasses (early in the summer) overlooking the ocean and out towards the Cape Blanco lighthouse. There is a bench there. I strongly recommend picking up a cheap bottle of red wine, and spending the better part of an afternoon on this bench looking out at the rocks waiting for the occasional thought to float by.

The ride into Cape Blanco is also beautiful with a river winding it's way out to the sea, a tourist stop at the Hughes House and a stop at the Cape Blanco Lighthouse. As a hiker/biker you'll be traveling up a large hill to get up to the top. Don't let the elevation scare you off. It isn't as hard as you think with plenty of pull-offs and views to distract you.

Amenities include: 

• Storage boxes with USB Chargers
• Flush Toilets and Hot Showers
• Fire Pits and Picnic Tables
• Bike Tools, Bike Stand and racks
• Nature/Coastal Trail
• Yurt/Cabin camps

We had an excellent time here. We had just spent about 3 weeks exploring washington and got some serious amounts of rain as we made our way down to oregon. The rain cleared and we ended up here. It was amazing to get a nice hot shower in...and a long one at that.

This campground has arrangements for just about everyone. RVs, tents,hammocks whatever you got they will take you here. And make you feel right at home. Coos bay and the surrounding beach area is absolutely wonderful. We spent a few days exploring and were glad we decided to stop when the rain broke. If your camping for longer than a week or van dwelling like me i would suggest only stay a day or 2 and make your way inland to the odeon redwood trail. There is free camping in there that is also wonderful and no one is around. Around sunset bay state park there is hiking, biking, surfing, fishing, disc gold, swimming and just about anything else your looking for.

Cheers!

We have been camping in a pickup truck camper during a cross-country trip but we opted to splurge and booked 2 nights in an Airstream at Bay Point.  It was SO worth it!  The Airstreams are very new and IMPECCABLY clean.  Ok, the entire facility is new and impeccably clean but wow are these trailers nice.  We had to look in all of the cabinets, but everything that we needed was there: dishes, pots, etc.  They even add some niceties that we didn't expect: a few laundry soap pods, a fire starter block along with the complementary firewood, a hair dryer, etc.   

I heard the person at the front desk mention that they had a dog washing area with complimentary shampoo... that's the level of detail they have considered.

Now, there isn't a lot to do in Coos Bay, so I wouldn't stay here a week, but a few days of R&R would be good for anyone.  Loved it.

This park is located in the beautiful Cape Arago area of the South-Central Oregon coast. The geography of the area is dominated by Coos Bay, a small sound that surrounds Cape Arago by water on three sides. Why this is important is the same reason that another more notable "Bay Area" is infamous, marine inversion layer. Because there's so much cold water around, it cools the air close to the ground, colder than the air above it in the heat of summer. This temperature difference creates a lot of instability and clouds/fog. So, while only a few miles away in the Oregon Dunes or south towards Bandon it's sunny and 80's in August but around Sunset Bay it's cloudy, misting and 68. For you, this might not be a downside at all! If you're in Portland and getting a bit tired of baked lawns and the regular 6 weeks of temps in the 90's brought to us by climate change, the gray skies of Sunset Bay may be just the ticket! For those looking for a more sunny and warm beach experience, the rest of the magnificent Oregon coast may be a better bet.

The park itself is aging but serviceable. At the hight of high season (early August) one of the four men's showers in our loop (one of four) was out of order all week. A day or two seems reasonable but an entire week during the busiest time of the year, you would think fixing this would be a priority.

Oregon's Coast parks are (like the rest of the state) wonderful. This state knows how to do parks! Programs for families, camp hosts who are present and helpful, rangers who are knowledgeable and competent. However, I'd discourage anyone from thinking that highway 101 is a peaceful, wilderness experience. The demise of extraction industries in this country has lead to a head-on collision of urban blight (shuttered mills, dilapidated fishing terminals) and rural poverty. You are much less likely to run into a friendly mom and pop mercantile when you realize you forgot to pack graham crackers for your s'mores; much more likely a loud and greasy pit stop with a beer brawl going on in the back parking lot. Likewise, there is plenty of opportunity for a quiet evening enjoyment of campfire but also a loudmouthed drunk who wondered in from town and is arrested after getting into it with the park ranger.

We visited this campground for the second time this past weekend and even in late October it is a fantastic location to go on the coast!

It has tent sites, RV pads cabins and is one of the few locations where delux yurts can be rented.

W stayed in a cabin last time, but that loop is closed for construction until 2019.

This time it was the delux yurt, which sleeps up to 9 people, has it's own bathroom with toilet, sink and shower, microwave, fridge, kitchen sink,TV, DVD player and heater that will cook you out if you want it to. Outside comes with a porch, picnic bench and 4 burner gas grill. Fantastic for group rental! We had 5 adults and it was a ton of space!

The yurts are just up the hill from the lake where you can go fishing and hike the approximately 1 mile long trail.

There is also a day use area with benches and a small sandy beach.

Lover this place!

This was my favorite campground. The location was great and the amenities were superb. You can tell the developers put money into the property and thought through about the experience - whether you are just camping and having fun or whether you have to work from the road. They offered great wi-fi and office spaces to be used when needed. They have an indoor heated pool, a gym and many bathrooms throughout their property. I believe all sites are full hook up. We Stayed there for 4 weeks as we were traveling through the beautiful Oregon coast with our travel trailer and our pets. We had 3 different sites and it is because we wanted a water front spot for a few days then decided to extend our stay as we liked the campground so much and we could easily go up or down the coast as planned. All of our sites were great and the staff is so friendly and as accommodating as they can be. Their store has great items, they are well branded and they even bring you ice and fire wood if you buy is from them-you can just text them - easy user experience! All of the bathrooms and laundry rooms were well maintained and clean. We were there in July, during the pandemic and things were pretty calm and people were keeping a distance and respecting the guidelines. You don’t have a trailer? No problem, they have a few tiny houses which look amazing and they also have air streams people can rent. It can get super windy at times - there were a few nights I thought our T@b was going to fly away and we were going to look like the cow in twister LOL but thankfully it didn’t! We watched beautiful sunsets from our trailer and walked by the water in the morning and around sunset. Bay Point Landing is a great property and well located. Great drive to a few parks close by. If you are staying there for a few days, go to see the dunes and check out the beaches; it is super pretty. We also made it all the way up to Cape Kwanda, and it was one of our favorite places. The hike to the top of the dune is worth it and the view is breathtaking. If you are going with kids, be careful because there are not a lot of barriers at the top, which we thought it was a bit odd. It is an easy drive to Depoe Bay (north of Coos Bay) where you can see resident whales often. We also went al the way down to Brookings, on the border with California. Beautiful beaches along the way so don’t go in a hurry, take your time and enjoy the beautiful view. We will absolutely be back. We loved this campground!

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

Had an amazing time at the beach. The breach access is a one lane curvy road kind of scary to drive down. The camp host was very helpful. We visited the historic Hughes house that is on the park grounds. It was built in 1898 and they have tours. The lighthouse is the oldest on the Oregon coast and you can get a tour of it. There are a bunch of trails for people and horses. There are 4 rustic cabins and 58 camp sites. The horse camp has 8 spots. It is 9 miles from Port Orford and 28 miles from Bandon. The camp area is in the middle of large trees so the wind doesn't really hit you. We were a long ways away from the bathroom but it was extremely clean. It is a first come first serve campground except for the cabins. Park in the spot you want them go pay the camp host. www.oregonstateparks.org

We have stayed in a yurt and a cabin here with our kids and dog. It was perfect.
