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.

GuideBeautiful 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.
TravelerWe 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!
RangerIt 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.
GuideHuge 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.
TravelerSmall 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
ScoutThis 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.
GuideThis 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
RangerOf all the lane county Parker’s we’ve camped in, this one’s the best. LOCATION It’s just a few mins from Florence where you can get groceries and such. Stay away from the produce at the Safeway. And just about 20 mins from really amazing views, trails, and a lighthouse north of the campground. PARK INFRASTRUCTURE The bathrooms are great. Clean, newly renovated, hot water, and smells like cedar! I did look in the accessible bathroom and it hasn’t been updated so there’s no hand wand- it’s just a mist head. The layout is fantastic. Every site is private surrounded by vegetation. Half the sites have updated infrastructure and sewer hookups and half don’t. This was the biggest problem while staying here. On the weekend when the park is full, the electric infrastructure in the older part of the park (sites 14-31) can’t handle the load and it kept tripping our rig. We were able to move sites which helped but just warning. The caretaker did say that they plan on replacing and updating everything sometime next year. COMMON AREAS AND CABINS They have some really cute cabins for rent. I didn’t look inside but they sit right on the edge of the campground looking towards the river/ocean. The common areas are great. Swing set, picnic tables, viewing platforms to watch the sunset, fire rings, and there may have been a grill, I can’t remember. STAFF Loved the staff! We had a couple of things come up during our two week stay and the caretaker was so helpful and takes really good care of the place. Literally every tiny spot of bare grass had grass seed in it. That’s great attention to detail! RECOMMENDATIONS If you can get the spot on the far end of the park that looks at the ocean (sites 13), grab it! We wished we could have stayed there. Food- we tried a few places but highly recommend Chens Family Dish. If you have a paddle board, the high tide along the mouth of the river is the perfect spot to puddle about!
ScoutAdvertised 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
Camping opportunities around Florence, Oregon center around the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area with its unique coastal ecosystem. The region experiences mild temperatures year-round with winter lows averaging 40°F and summer highs around 65°F. Camping conditions remain relatively consistent through seasons, though winter months bring increased rainfall averaging 10-12 inches monthly between November and February.
Beach exploration: 1.5-mile trail access at Sutton Campground connects hikers to stunning dune formations and eventually the ocean. "We had a great hike from a trailhead in the campground all the way to the dunes and finally the beach. Stunning beach with no one on it and beautiful water," notes one visitor at Sutton Campground.
Sand dune activities: 5-10 minute drive from most Florence campgrounds. "Great access to the sand dunes and we rented sand boards for $10 a day and had a blast sand boarding. Really fun trip," shares a camper from Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park.
Coastal forest hiking: Multi-level trails provide varying difficulties for all ability levels. "Fabulous 6 mile hike to Heceta Lighthouse. A day spent at the Sea Lion Caves just up the coast. Oh and the mighty pacific in all its glory at the park beach access," reports a visitor at Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park.
Private campsites with vegetation barriers: Many campgrounds feature natural separation between sites. "The camping spaces are spread out and isolated by vegetation, providing some privacy. Restrooms are clean and there are plenty of water spigots," says a visitor at Alder Dune Campground.
Clean facilities throughout: Bathroom maintenance rates highly across campgrounds. "The bathrooms are also very clean with multiple stalls and showers (push button but not coin operated)," notes a camper staying in a yurt at Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park.
Walking distance to attractions: Some campgrounds offer pedestrian access to beaches, towns, or natural features. "This is quite fun to park the motorhome with a beautiful river view, and then walk next door to Mo's for some chowder. Walk to everything," explains a visitor at Port of Siuslaw Campground & Marina.
Seasonal availability varies: Many campgrounds operate limited schedules. "We got in late at night and was a pretty simple easy setup (rv). It was hot dry and dusty, but being on the water was really nice," shares a Port of Siuslaw visitor about summer conditions.
Wildlife considerations impact pets: Some areas have strict enforcement periods. "Black bear spotted on beach trail June 2025," warns a Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park camper, highlighting why leash rules matter for pet safety.
Mosquito presence in spring/summer: Bring repellent, especially for wooded sites. "We stayed at site A-16 in mid-May and absolutely loved it. Super pretty spot, tucked right next to a little creek. Heads up: the mosquitoes were definitely out (classic spring in Oregon), so bring your bug spray," advises a Sutton camper.
Weather can change rapidly: Coastal conditions fluctuate regardless of season. "Since I visited in November and it rained, the drops from the trees were loud on my trailer roof," explains a visitor at Harbor Vista Campground.
Yurt options for mixed weather: Reserve in advance for comfortable alternatives to tenting. "I had such a nice time at this campground. We went in the off season (in the winter) so the campground didn't have many people staying. I have a toddler and it ended up being so helpful with the weather being a bit rainy," shares a Honeyman visitor.
Playgrounds and activities: Some campgrounds offer dedicated children's areas. "The campground had a playground for kids, a small free library and ranger station with a couple of souvenirs of the area," notes another Honeyman camper.
Group camping availability: Larger family gatherings benefit from dedicated areas. "30+ family members camp here every year around 4th of July. Always great fun and great atmosphere. Hosts are wonderful and the grounds/restrooms/showers are all well kept," shares a Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park visitor.
Pet-friendly trails for family dogs: Many campgrounds offer direct trail access for pet walks. "The camp hosts were super wonderful. There are showers in the next Campground over for a dollar for 5 minutes. You can hear the ocean Crashing Down and it's super close to a beautiful spot," describes a visitor at Waxmyrtle Campground.
Site length considerations: Most campgrounds accommodate medium-sized RVs. "We stayed at site 76. The campground was big and a little to loud. There are yurts to stay in but you have to reserve them," notes a Honeyman visitor.
Full hookup availability varies: Check campground amenities before arrival. "Spaces were spacious for our 43ft 5th wheel and truck. Starlink on roof was slow, but was just fin for a relaxing night," explains another Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park camper.
Limited connectivity in wooded sites: Cell service and satellite reception affected by trees. "The tree cover here is very thick, so solar didn't work and starlink probably wouldn't either. There is also group camping here. Good cell reception for Verizon and ATT," advises a Sutton Campground visitor.
Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds offer on-site dumping. "Parks that are walking distance to shops and restaurants are such a treat. There are breweries, restaurants, farmers market (on Tuesday afternoon), shops, etc all within easy walking distance from here," shares a Port of Siuslaw camper about the convenient location that compensates for limited RV services.
