"We stayed here at the group site and it was great—huge field, winding paths through heavy forest to arrive at a beautiful, sunny lake."
"Special and unique landscape right in the center of Oregon Dunes. We love it here. Located close to the quant town of Florence. Lots of nearby hikes, beach access, and of course the dunes. Enjoy!"
$24 - $102 / night
"I am a big fan of the Oregon state parks. This one stands out. The park looks like it was done by a landscape architect. Kudos to whoever designed this place."
"Make it up to the top, and you'll be rewarded with an out of the way, minimally populated camp tucked into the trees just past the lighthouse, and with trails, wildlife and brand new bathrooms and showers"
$26 - $72 / night
"We stay at Tugman often because it’s a great Oregon State Campground and is conveniently located off Hwy 101 and close to a lot of outdoor activities the southern coast of Oregon has to offer."
"The lake is super accessible, just a short walk from camp. Dog friendly (but please keep them leashed). Lake was gorgeous and clean!"
"Walking and bike path surrounds the park. Close to the small community of Winchester Bay that has a grocery store and restaurants. Just a great park."
"Park has a nice walking path that goes around the outside along the bay."
"Beautiful park on the Oregon coast just outside of the Oregon Dunes national park. Great people and clean well kept facilities."
"This is one of our favorite campgrounds, very similar to Thousand Trails Pacific City."
$22 - $44 / night
"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."
"I've been aware of the Eel Creek Campground since I started hiking the John Dellenback trail a few years ago. The trailhead is in Lakeside, OR, off Hwy 101 on the Oregon coast."
$22 - $44 / night
"The sites for the tent are a little walk behind the picnic bench. The site was quiet and surrounded by trees. It was full but didn’t feel like too many people. The hike to the dune was fun."
"The highlight for us was the beautiful trail to the dunes. We actually walked there twice it was so beautiful - once with the dog in the afternoon and then we went back for an incredible sunset."
$22 / night
"We arrived after dark and simply drove into the campsite and looked around until we found a spot."
"Spacious sites, water nearby, clean bathrooms. Showers are located at an adjacent campground populated by bigger RVs and dune buggy enthusiasts. They create noise, but it’s tolerable."
$22 / night
"Handicapped accessible walking trail about one mile around campground. No ATV access, you will need to drive down the road to a day use site with adjacent dune access. Quiet. No utilities."
"This campground is located right on a lagoon, hence the name, with close beach and dune access. It also has some hiking and kayaking opportunities."
"Staff was helpful and let us change sites when we arrived to a better location. Nicely stocked store and restaurant on site. Fishing and boating at your door."
"Set on Tenmile Lake in Lakeside, OR, this is a nice little park. Spaces are pretty close together and turns are tight. There are some big rigs here, so it can work for you big guys."
ScoutThis is a great campground. The sites next to the ATV access can be loud but there are lots of other sites that are quiet.
GuideBeautiful campground along the Rock Creek, nestled in a grove of large spruce and Douglas fir trees, near a beach on the Oregon Coast. Bathrooms were super clean. Lee, camp manager, was super nice and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
ScoutFree camping, we pitched a large tent. Place is run down and barely maintained but there are still a few good sites. Drop toilets are clean with paper. Met some awesome fellow nomads and shot tequila with them!!
Crawdads are plentiful in the river (this is the invasive species that the alert is for)
If you need a site to crash this place is good enough with a little ‘walking dead’ feel to it as everything is overgrown. No traffic sound.
GuideWe needed a campground in the Florence, Oregon area based on our travel plans. Pacific Pines was in the right location and we went ahead and booked it despite the lack of reviews on The Dyrt. The staff were incredibly nice, and the site was small, but clean. The bathrooms and showers were very well maintained. There are a lot of long term residents at the campground, but they keep a very clean area and they were very friendly. I might not choose this place to stay for several nights, but as a one or two night stop over in the area, we found it to be perfect.
GuideWe heard good things about the campground and made a reservation. What we did not realize is that while the ocean facing sites are pretty cool the other sites are pretty awful. Instead of ocean waves all you hear is non stop road noise all day/night. So before you book, make sure you get a site facing the ocean. If you cant get one, find another campground.
ScoutObviously staying at a casino, they are going to want you to gamble a bit. To stay here you need to sign up for their players club (which is free). I was able to stay for free because I accrued 50 player points. They have some hookup spaces and some that are for dry camping only.
Is it a feature rich campground? No. But you do have 24/7 access to the casino bathrooms. Pro tip: go into the “hotel” entrance to avoid the part of the casino that allows smoking. You do also get access to the fitness center by staying here.
Would be awesome if they had a shower available for use, but overall not bad for being a casino parking lot.
ScoutUnbelievable vista off paved and then maintained gravel road- not a good idea to attempt in inclement or muddy weather due to exposed road along some stunning stretches high above the forest. I arrived at 9pm and there were two pull offs in this area. It was awesome to car camp here. I only saw two others- one camper van going further in the forest where there were several other spots. I would definitely come back given the location and ease of access.
ScoutThe site was large. The hikers would not stay on the trail and would walk through our site. The park rangers refused to deal with that. They stated we need to ask them nicely not to walk through. Yes 30 times a day. We got tired of that so we put up some caution tape to direct them to the trail. We were told to take it down. The port-a-potties were cleaned every three days. That’s good. We were not told prior to booking that they would not allow a fire in the fire pit, because they were not monitoring that site. Yet they were there daily. Our kids were very cold, and had no heat. It drizzled every evening and rained every night we were there. But can’t have a fire. No smores, no hotdogs over the fire. Showers were allowed only in the A loop. And that was the most primitive shower I have ever seen. Athletes foot cometh. Scalded every time a toilet flushed. Also someone needs to be in the site at all times to prevent theft. Caught a guy drive in to do just that. Luckily there was someone at the site. The guy became belligerent and pretended he was just giving his dog water. Tried to hook up one of our utility trailers. If the park does not want to deal with that site, they should just close it and let the hikers have it. Also the picture of that site is not updated. It is quite a dust bowl in the middle. The rangers also said the county told them they couldn’t monitor that site. Hmm. It’s a state park. I think they are l just lazy, and are liars.
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
