"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."

"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. "
"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."
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
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.
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.
RangerBullard Bay has 3 loops, it is family friendly and two miles north of Bandon. The campground has a lot of shore pines and they protect it from the strong ocean breezes. It has Camping, fishing, beach combing, great sunsets and a famous Lighthouse. Some of the sites have water and electrical hookups. They also Horse camping and many hiking trails and bike paths. The corals can be used by day use also. The beaches are about 3/4 a mile away from the campgrounds. The path from the campground to the beach was too hard for us to push my wheel chair or the stroller. The easiest beach access is parking at the day use area, opposed to walking from your site. The restrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen at a park and all have plumbing (no outhouses). We loved this park. http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=50
GuideSmall (only a handful of sites) campground with a moderate walk to the beach. The campground host was very friendly! Most of the sites open up into a shared circular area but it still felt very private and nice! The walk to the ocean was through soft/deep sand (watch out for horse manure as there are horse tours happening nearby).
GuideMaybe it's because of the Tsunami's or something but all the campgrounds in OR are set back far away from the beach. This one is a pretty good hike away from the campground proper-so much so that few actually head out to it so you have the beach basically to yourself. There's huckleberries on the way and horses around and the bathrooms are basically fine and clean. Not much privacy at the sites as the hedges have been murdered by folks or rangers or kids....The place is your typical OR coast campground--no campsite is near the beach.
TravelerAnother excellent Oregon state park. Nice rangers. Proximity to beautiful Bandon.
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.
