Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Florence, OR

Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park and Harbor Vista Campground accept pets at all campsites with standard leash requirements. Dogs must remain on leashes no longer than 6 feet throughout the campground areas. Each campsite accommodates up to two pets per reservation with additional fees applying for extra animals. Harbor Vista Campground features sites with substantial vegetation barriers creating private spaces for nervous dogs, while Honeyman offers more open camping areas near the lake. ['Most pet-friendly sites around Florence have clean facilities and pet waste stations available throughout the grounds.'] Pet owners appreciate the secluded nature of Harbor Vista's sites which provide natural barriers between camping neighbors, creating a less stressful environment for reactive dogs.

Sutton Campground and Alder Dune Campground provide direct access to pet-friendly hiking trails connecting to the Oregon Dunes Recreation Area where leashed dogs can explore designated paths. Both campgrounds maintain toilet facilities but lack shower amenities for post-beach cleanups. The Port of Siuslaw Campground near downtown Florence allows pets in RVs only with no tent or car camping permitted, making it suitable for travelers with larger setups. Nearby veterinary services are available in Florence with emergency clinics open until 10pm weekdays. Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park north of Florence maintains a strict on-leash policy throughout all trails and beach access points, with rangers actively enforcing these rules during summer months when wildlife nesting occurs along coastal areas.

    Alder Dune Campground

    Homey

    Beautiful campground just a few minutes away from Florence. Sites are all pretty private. Found a nice site that we had to cross a small bridge to get to. Kinda pricey but worth it. We were told there's a 'trash bear' who frequents the campground but we never saw him. Definitely would stay here again.

    Alder Dune Campground

    Sweet little campground - very close to Florence

    We snagged the last reservable spot #006 for the weekend. There are two loops in this campground: Alder Loop which you can reserve online, and Dune Loop which is first come first served.

    Our site was directly across the bathroom, but you cross a little bridge and walk up about 10 steps to the flat tent pad. We felt tucked away enough into the trees as there is a lot of coverage between sites. Overall, we were really happy with our site! 

    • The bathrooms are single use pit toilets. 
    • There is a pretty lake with trails to walk around, and it's about a mile to the ocean from the campground. 
    • We were about 10 minutes from Florence proper and the South Jetty entrance to the dunes.
    • The campground is right off the 101, so be aware if traffic noise bothers you.

    Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

    Great camping place

    It is about 2 miles from Florence right on Hwy 101. The yurts are nice. Dunes access is easy. The playground looks like it would be fun for kids. There was a car show in Florence that weekend. Your in a sandy area with lots of trees. As it got dark the wind picked up but it wasn't to bad. If your ADA you need to get a ADA space otherwise the bathrooms can be quite a walk. The trash cans are at the entrance. Very big camp park.

    Sutton Campground

    Labor Day Weekend

    Huge sites, clean bathrooms, great camp hosts, and tons of hiking trails. You can hike to Baker Beach from the A loop. The entrance is near the group site by the bathrooms. The hike is approximately 2.4 miles one way.

    We stayed in site A11 that had a 30 amp hook up. There are no water hook ps or dump sites unfortunately and not all the sites have electric.

    Campground is about 5 miles from Florence.

    Archie Knowles Campground

    Small Campground Between Eugene and Florance

    Small 9 site campground just off of OR-126, little bit of road noise during the day, not noticable to us at night. Camp is along Knowels Creek. Sites 7 & 8 are "premium" for an extra two dollars, you have a better view of the creek and can look down stream a ways.

    We camped in a 26' travel trailer, worked well for us. Filled out water tank on sight at one for the water spots before parking. Host was nice, firewood was available

    About 20 min from Florence, which is on the Oregon Coast. Better spot for fuel and groceries if needed. Cp is just outside of Mapleton, a cute little town.

    About 15 mins away is the Sweet Creek Falls trail, a fairly easy out and back hike.

    If you happen to be heading home through Eugene, don't forget the free dump at Eugene waste water treatment plant

    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.

    Thousand Trails South Jetty

    Shady and cool

    This is one of our favorite campgrounds, very similar to Thousand Trails Pacific City. We stay three nights from June 18th through 21st, 2020, at campsite E136, the stay was free due to our Thousand Trails membership. Our site had electricity and water hook up. The site was level and easy to back in to. 

    Our site was very private with trees and bushes between our site and neighbors on each side. The E loop bathhouse was two spots down and up a flight of stairs. We were a couple of spaces from the dog run. The campground was at sea level and just a mile or so from Florence, Oregon, and a mile from the Oregon Dunes Recreation area. Once we entering the campground, the campground roads are all gravel, however we found the layout and map to be confusing as we got of directions down. 

    This is a very quiet campground, activities were minimal due to Covid-19 restrictions. We are looking forward to coming back post Covid-19 to take advantage of the closed outdoor pool, hot tub and clubhouse. The campground had clean showers, plenty of hot water and not more than a 2 minute walk from our campsite. 

    There are two dump stations at the exit of the campground, easy to maneuver into. My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we took a trip to Heceta Lighthouse for the day, geocached and hiked around the lighthouse. 

    On Sunday when we were leaving South Jetty we passed Dan and Jen Nevada, from YouTube notoriety. They were arriving at South Jetty and scoping out their site, Jen gave us their sticker and business card.  Their Youtube site is https://www.youtube.com/user/flyfishnevada/videos

    Creekside Retreat at Triangle Lake

    Orwellian glamping

    Advertised as a pet friendly glamping space. Brought my dog and upon arrival was told dogs are not allowed inside tent. On the website it states dogs must be on leash and not left alone outside. How is anyone able to sleep inside a tent while not having your pet alone outside not being allowed inside tent? Apparently my campsite is recorded audio and video by the hosts and we were unnecessarily aggressively confronted. The creek we camped next to was polluted with pet feces, nitrous cartridges and used cigarette filters. Overall we left and felt scammed. They charged us $25 for wood we never burned

    Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

    The people make or break this place.

    I camped here twice this year. Once in June in the Hiker/Biker area, and again in July in a regular site. The experiences couldn't have been more different.

    Hiker/Biker is fairly segregated from the rest of camp. The access point is actually before the entry to the main campground itself. My first visit left me surprised at the beauty of the camp. It feels like it is in the wilderness despite being less than a few miles from Florence's cool Old Towne.

    The trees here are big, and the ground cover lush with ferns. The trails are canopied by Rhododendrons. Nature paths lead off to Cleawox and Woahink lakes. Sand dunes abut the west side of camp. They seem endless, and otherworldly. At Cleawox Lake day use area there are paddleboats, boards and water toys for rent by the day or hour. Sand boards are available from a temporary space set up in the day use parking area. 

    On my first visit the entry Ranger station was closed but the Welcome Yurt was open. Maps, advice, firewood, a lending library was available. 

    Honeyman Camp is huge. When I was there in early June it made for a lovely exploration, and seemingly great spaces between campers. In late July the vibe had completely changed. Each of the several hundred spaces was occupied by a seemingly large family with 5 kids to every adult, or 25 belligerently drunk RV campers who felt the need to blast Fleetwood Mac. 

    That second visit, in the main campground, made it very clear that your experience here will depend on the quality of people choosing to stay in the same park. All the amenities were the same, but despite it's size, a campsite with stereo speakers set to full boar are hard to ignore even when you're on the other side of camp. Now multiply that by several campsites per loop.

    One thing of note: Each campsite is issued a set of rules, including "Quiet Hours". Unlike some other sites in which hosts ignored those rules in an attempt to avoid confrontation the hosts here were on top of it. For as obnoxious as the camp was at 9:45pm, by 10:15 it was silent, and we were able to enjoy the remains of a campfire and view of the stars in the slight clearing between trees.

    Amenities include: 

    • Flush Toilets

    • Hot Showers (free and some without having to keep pushing a button!)

    • Picnic tables & Fire pits

    • Welcome yurt

    • Kids playground

    • Access to lakes and dunes (Bear sitings on the path to Woahink Lake in July)

    • Nature Trail

    *Pro-Tip: Stop in Old Towne Florence and buy some fresh fish or get a coffee at the local roaster.
