Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Coos Bay, OR

925 Reviews

Sunset Bay State Park Campground accepts pets throughout its diverse accommodation options that include cabins, yurts, and traditional campsites. Located on Cape Arago Highway, this year-round facility maintains pet-friendly policies across tent sites, RV spaces, and specialty lodging while providing fire rings for evening comfort. Bastendorff Beach Park similarly welcomes pets at its cabin accommodations and camping areas, with designated pet exercise zones situated within walking distance of campgrounds. Bay Point Landing offers superior pet amenities with water stations and dedicated pet waste disposal areas throughout the property. Bullards Beach State Park Campground, Elliott State Forest dispersed camping areas, and Umpqua Lighthouse State Park all maintain open pet policies with varying levels of services. The Mill Casino Hotel & RV Park recently changed its free camping policy but continues to accommodate pets with paved sites and full hookups in a waterfront setting.

Elliott State Forest provides dispersed camping opportunities where pets can explore off-leash in less regulated environments, though owners should carry waste bags as facilities are minimal. For RV travelers with pets, Sun Outdoors Coos Bay (formerly Oceanside RV Resort) features pet-friendly cabins along with traditional camping options within minutes of coastal trails suitable for dog walking. William M. Tugman State Park Campground permits pets in both standard sites and specialty accommodations like yurts. Regular campers note the beach access points near several campgrounds provide excellent opportunities for dogs to enjoy water activities. Seasonal considerations include checking for potential fire restrictions during summer months when camping with pets, as some properties implement stricter containment rules during peak fire danger periods.

    Sunset Bay State Park Campground

    Sunset Bay Campground, OR

    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.

    Spinreel

    Spinreel National Dune Area Sand Camping

    Spinreel Sand Camping is awesome if you're an ATV enthusiast. Do NOT expect it to be quiet and/or serene if you camp here, but DO expect this riding area to be one of the best in Oregon. Also, expect to pack out what you pack in, and be sure to have a generator, air compressor (you WILL need to air down to get in and out of the sand camping areas), propane, and water for dry camping if you are bringing an RV. Dogs ARE allowed. You can ride from the northern-most end of Spinreel all the way south to Coos Bay (you can literally see the bridge to Coos Bay at the end of the dunes). This will take you most of the day, unless you're a hardcore rider/ATVer, so there is LOTS to see here, including beach riding access! There are a TON of lakes in this area, and a big variety of trails, hills, and open dune areas. Since this is national forest, alcohol is prohibited in sand dune camping areas. Beautiful riding area, though, for those who love it! I rate it an 8.

    Oregon Dunes KOA

    Luxury Camping with ATV/UTV Dune Access

    This is the cleanest, most well-maintained KOA I have ever Camped in. It’s family and pet friendly with a well-maintained playground area for the kids and an enclosed dog park for the pets. If that’s not enough consider this: it has a dedicated ATV riding area for the Littles - no big kids/no big ATVs - and is a perfect spot to teach young kids how to ride. This campground has full hook ups and Wi-Fi that actually works! The camp Staff & employees are extremely friendly and helpful. It boosts a small general store on site as well as being located right next-door to an ATV rental shop. The ATV rental shop also has parts, accessories and fuel! Did I mention that it has great access to all the wonderful dunes? If you are an ATV/UTV enthusiast this KOA is for you.

    Eel Creek Campground

    Quiet, clean camp in the Dunes near Coos Bay

    Ek Creek Campground was a pleasant surprise. Nestled among the giant sand dunes and high OHV (dune) areas of Coos Bay area, sits this well placed campground that has large spacious and private campsites. Most sites contain a drive thru entrance with tent pad sites placed within large buses for privacy. The camproudn has a new flush toilets with sink & handdryer. We stayed 3 days and extended our stay by one night because we enjoyed it so much. Lakeside is a nearby town that has a Dollar General and small store that has most anything you need in a pinch.

    There are a dozen or more lakes for fishing, water sports, and hiking. Horsefall beach & OHV area is the nearest beach, about 10 miles (?) Away.

    For a national Forest campground on the Oregon Coast, this and Alder Dune Campground are by far my favorite. Well worth the $22 / night to have a guaranteed place to.camp on the coast.

    Very nice staff. Good clean RV Park. Charleston is a major homeless people region and the park has no gates. Hence, the wanders come in a lot. Security is good and do a lot to help. We call twice in the eeek stay. Really good guys. Crabbing g was good on docks close by. Clean showers and rest rooms. Fish cleaning room is awesome! NO RENTAL BOATS IN COOS BAY ORCHARLESTON!

    Sunset Bay State Park Campground

    Large campgrounds, wonderful setup

    Great experience, plenty of campsites, wonderfully hot showers. The D section showers, if you put the handle to the bottom right it'll be nice and hot! Heads up if it's hot in the valley it'll be foggy on this shore but Coos Bay is just a 10 minute drive and it can still be sunny there!

    Sun Outdoors Coos Bay

    Nice spot directly on beach!

    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.

    Sunset Bay State Park Campground

    Oregon camping rules.

    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!
