"Mix of full and partial hookups, tent sites, horse camp, and yurts. Very clean campground and well maintained. Beach is about 1 mile walk from campground."
"BIG and CLEAN by the sea. 3 miles to a lighthouse, about a mile 1/2 walk to beach, or drive car to parking to get closer access to the sea. Cost $31 a night plus $8 fee RSVP service."
$22 / night
"This a more peaceful spot, without immediate engine noise but with plenty of room for human and horse at each site. It's a nice size to get to know a few neighbors - but not too many. "
$24 - $79 / night
"I've camped at several state parks in Oregon and Cape Blanco is my favorite! It is situated above a beautiful beach with an access road straight from the campground. "
"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."
"My visit near Fawn Creek Campground in Oregon was a refreshing experience, surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills."
"The Boundary Campground located in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in Oregon is a great place to go for a quite getaway. It is located on Bear Creek Road. "
"A small drive out of Wallowa and a gorgeous spot with well maintained facilities. Right next to the rolling wonderful Bear Creek Trail."
"Small (only a handful of sites) campground with a moderate walk to the beach. The campground host was very friendly!"
"Maybe it's for horse poo.
Good cell reception. Good location, far enough away from Hwy 101 so you don't hear cars, but it's still easily accessible."
"Highway noise, otherwise quiet. Convenient for exploring the area and visiting friends."
"When all other nearby campgrounds were full, we came here. Great spot in between Florence and yachats."
LegendExcellent campground. Mix of full and partial hookups, tent sites, horse camp, and yurts. Very clean campground and well maintained. Beach is about 1 mile walk from campground. Lighthouse is about 3 miles from campground. Town of Bandon is right over the bridge about 3 miles. Restaurants and stores. Coos Bay 45 min north.
LegendI've camped at several state parks in Oregon and Cape Blanco is my favorite! It is situated above a beautiful beach with an access road straight from the campground. The sites are spacious and trees provide a good amount of privacy between the sites. There is a wooded trail that leads to the nearby historic lighthouse where you can enjoy amazing views up and down the coast. There are bathrooms with hot showers onsite, which is a plus after enjoying time at the beach. The campground offers RV hookups, but note the dump station was not in service during our visit in June 2021. This campground also has a horse camp with newer corrals, bathroom and miles of equestrian trails. We stayed in one of the cute rustic cabins for half of our stay and in our camper van for the remainder. Looking forward to future stays at Cape Blanco State Park!
LegendThis is a little hidden gem as it is not well marked on maps or along highway 101. There are only about 5 campsites(not including the possible equestrian site on the other side of the parking lot), and they are not equally level, spacious, or private, but it is taken care of by a full time host and you are close to the beach and dunes. Be prepared for a hike through deep shifting sand dunes to get to the beach. And watch out for horse poo as this is a busy horse path the local stable takes to the beach. Expect some dust from the gravel road and lot. While here I took advantage of the rental stable and got to ride on the beach; pretty cool experience!
RangerBIG and CLEAN by the sea. 3 miles to a lighthouse, about a mile 1/2 walk to beach, or drive car to parking to get closer access to the sea. Cost $31 a night plus $8 fee RSVP service. A must to call in for RSVP and open year round. North side of Coquille River just north (5 to 7 miles) of Brandon, Oregon. Can get cel service and mobile data service.
Have Yurt village and Hiker/Biker camp
Close to a boat launch for the Coquille River
Have a horse camp too
RangerHad 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
ScoutThis is a horse camp, for people who have horses, NOT a car camp. It’s not fair that car campers are taking reservation spots away from horse campers. We can not just take our horses into car camps. The camp is left dirty with litter, there were gun shots Friday & Saturday night, an ATV drove through camp 50 mph at midnight. These people have no respect or etiquette for horses or children. All day & night ATV people were driving through looking for a place to stay. If you don’t have horses Stay out!!! Go camp on a dead end road.
GuideI have been camping at Cape Blanco State Park for years. This campground is located on the Southern Oregon coast outside of Port Orford, OR.
The campground does not take reservations and can have low availability during peak summer season. Cabins are available to reserve. The campground has free showers, flush toilets, sinks, firewood for sale, and beach access. The sites have full hookups, fire pits, tables, and very long paved drives. A bikers' camp, group camp, and horse camp are also available.
It is very windy here, but the plants surrounding the sites keep out most of the coastal wind and also provide plenty of privacy from other sites. Be prepared for cold weather and misty air. Dump station is under construction and not open for use right now.
GuideWhen all other nearby campgrounds were full, we came here. Great spot in between Florence and yachats. Close to heceta light house, right before sea lion caves, and close to hikes and away from crowds. Unfortunately it was full so we just dry camped for free down the road in a pull out. Corrals for horses, not a lot of water but pit toilets and away from road noise in the forest. The turn into this road from Highway is a sharp one and immediately uphill. Probably not for anyone towing large trAilers but if your skilled you can try it out.
GuideVery clean but tiny campground near the beach. Designed for equestrian use but no restrictions posted for other campers. Lots of trails, good turn around, tables & fire rings. No water but a pit toilet. I think Someone is living here but very clean and no trash. We came in between rain showers and it was just us and the other tent. It's a maybe 1/4 mile walk to the beach over dunes. Very lovely place.
Oregon offers a fantastic array of options for horse camping enthusiasts, with campgrounds that cater specifically to equestrian needs and provide access to beautiful trails and scenery.
