8 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Cabin camping near Gardiner, OR spans the Oregon coast between Florence and Coos Bay, with rentals ranging from rustic park cabins to waterfront units with private bathrooms. Winchester Bay RV Resort offers cabin rentals with water views in a fishing village atmosphere. The cabins provide comfortable shelter while granting access to coastal recreation opportunities. Bathroom facilities are typically clean and well-maintained, with some locations offering private bathrooms within cabins while others rely on centralized shower facilities. "The park has a nice walking path that goes around the outside along the bay," according to one visitor who appreciated the waterfront access near their cabin accommodation.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park, Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, and William M. Tugman State Park all offer cabin accommodations alongside their regular campground facilities. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when coastal visitation peaks. Pet policies vary by location, with many permitting dogs with appropriate restrictions. A camper noted that Winchester Bay "is located in a fishing village. If you choose a water view location on the front, you will love it. Short walk to pizza, fish, and shops."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Some cabins provide basic kitchen facilities while others have minimal amenities. Several parks operate year-round, including Winchester Bay RV Resort, where one visitor mentioned, "This park is open year round even though the Dyrt app says it's closed for the season." Firewood is typically available for purchase at established campgrounds. Proximity to coastal towns provides access to grocery stores and restaurants, with Winchester Bay offering dining options within walking distance of some cabin rentals.
"Pets, children and groups are very welcome at this campground with nearby lakes, sand and ocean access. Rent kayaks and canoes at the lake."
"The yurt comes with a bunk bed (top a twin and bottom maybe a full size), pull out couch, small table with 2 chairs and a heater."

"We visited this campground for the second time this past weekend and even in late October it is a fantastic location to go on the coast!"
Available next weekend
from $29 - $141 / night

"Store closed kinda early for the rentals though. No kids playground, but does have a fish cleaning station and a bar that's open till 10."

ScoutI just accidentally found this campsite after visiting the lighthouse. It was a delightful little area very secluded and the staff was very nice. Had a great shower and a wonderful night sleep. I would stay here again.❤️
Guidedespite the rating i had absolutely no cell service with Verizon. i do not recommend this campground for tent campers, yurt neighbors were very noisy and i ended up sleeping in my car. do not recommend for solo travelers, complete SOS no service in entire campground. i wish i would have stayed at the campground up the road a little closer to town as i had service there. no wifi like it says on the front gate. bathrooms were clean, shower was nice.
TravelerGreat spot with beautiful greenery and trees. Camp sites are fairly close together which means you can hear what your neighbor is doing/talking about. The other guests were considerate and mostly quiet. They had warm showers (no extra charge), but they were the type you probably want to keep your shoes on for. Not dirty, but something about them made me question being barefoot (and I rarely wear shoes anywhere). Plenty of sites open mid week in October, bring warm gear as we were in the shade all day.
TravelerWe stayed in site B31 which was right next to a trail that led to the beach that's a little more than a mile. Staff was friendly and it was the cleanest bathrooms I've seen in a state park
ScoutLovely campground. Walking distance to the beach, you can hear the roar of the surf all night. Spotless bathrooms and showers, friendly helpful staff. A multitude of trails. Raccoons, turkeys, foxes, and ground squirrels in abundance.
TravelerQuiet. Not too busy and not too empty. Easy access to the lakes and sand dunes. Bathroom is cleaner than most other ones. Would love to visit again.
GuideAverage KOA...A bit pricey but they had a site that fit our needs for a couple of nights...sites are tight..(25'TT with a full size van makes for a 45' rig)..backing in is also tight but manageable. Decent staff, clean, safe, secure...Would stay again.
TravelerI camped at Bullards Beach State Park Campground in August 2026 with my daughter. We pitched our tent in site A25. I became familiar with A-Loop. I only drove through the other two loops. B-Loop looked similar with sites for tents and RVs. C-Loop looked like it is better suited for RVs.
PROS & CONS
First of all, the staff I interacted with were all wonderful. The weather was unseasonably cool, but we still enjoyed our week at the campground. The biggest draw in my opinion is that the Pacific Ocean is only a short trek away.
Camping on the outside curve of A-Loop was nice because it was relatively calm and quiet, even on the weekend. Everyone respected quiet hours at this campground, more so than at any other campground I’ve stayed at. The sites have electric hookups and a water spigot, as well as a picnic table and fire ring. Firewood is sold at the entrance to the campground for $7 per bundle. Payment is card-only. Firewood bundles can also be purchased at McKay's in Bandon. Another option is a place named Frontier Unlimited just south of Bandon on the west side of highway 101. The firewood at Frontier Unlimited is in a gravel parking lot right before the Ocean Spray Cranberries facility. Unfortunately, they were sold out when we were there in late August.
There aren’t many trees in the Bullards Beach campground, but most of the sites in A-Loop at least had bushes surrounding them. I brought a hammock, but I couldn’t use it because there was only one tree in our campsite. I couldn't even find a good s'mores stick. As I walked around A-Loop, I didn’t see any sites that had more than one sturdy tree. There may be some sites in B-Loop with more trees. C-Loop has sparse vegetation, which is why it looked better suited for RVs.
The A-Loop restroom was kept cleaner than most public restrooms I’ve ever used. Besides the outstanding cleanliness, the restrooms are typical of Oregon state park campgrounds. The main drawback of the restroom is that there are no paper towels, only inadequate hand dryers. And the faucets just had cold water, although I found one faucet that could produce lukewarm water if I was patient. Another shortcoming is that the two stalls in the men’s bathroom are cramped. The campground is huge so I expected the bathrooms to have more than two small stalls. Also, there are no hooks in the men’s bathroom. At least there is a bench and there are metal trays above the three sinks. There is however a private, spacious handicap bathroom with a large counter, sink, bench, toilet and shower. I took a shower in there and man the water was hot! It was actually a bit too hot to bear.
BEACHES
From the campground entrance, the walk to Bullards Beach is about 1.25 miles down a mostly paved path. Along the way there is a string of parking lots with picnic tables and barbeques for day use. There is even a horseshoe pit near the middle of the day use area. It costs $10 a day to park in the lots. At the end of the parking lots there is a small sand dune, and beyond that is Bullards Beach. When we crested the dune, we found that the beach was mostly deserted. That could have been due to the foggy, windy weather, but it seemed like most of the tourists congregate at Bandon Beach. Regardless of the weather, I recommend visiting the historic Coquille River Lighthouse at the south end of Bullards Beach. I saw that the B-Loop has its own path to Bullards Beach called Pearl’s Trail. I didn’t notice it until we were leaving, so I don't know what it's like.
Besides Bullards Beach and Bandon Beach, which is a short drive south, we explored Seven Devils State Recreation Site 7 miles to the north. Also, at the south end of Bandon we checked out Tish-A-Tang Beach, which is 5.5 miles from the campground. One day we drove 30 miles south to Port Orford to see the desolate Cape Blanco Lighthouse and the little beaches below it. The lighthouse is cool but the weather wasn't conducive to hanging out at the beach down below, so we skipped that. I had been out there before, but I forgot that there are no public restrooms at Cape Blanco Lighthouse. I suggest making a pitstop in Port Orford before heading out to the second-most westerly point in the contiguous United States.
SUMMARY
Bullards Beach Campground is a peaceful, clean and comfortable place to “glamp” on the rugged southern Oregon Coast. The campground is home to a few wild turkeys and an abundance of lively birds. As for mammalian wildlife, the chipmunks were ever-present, we caught glimpses of rabbits, one evening a small bat flitted by, and we encountered a family of thieving raccoons. (I learned to store our food very securely). The Pacific weather can be capricious, but on the other hand there are very few insects. There were no mosquitoes, but I saw an occasional butterfly, moth, and flying termite. I just wish there were more trees in the campground so I could relax in my hammock. What I remember about the Cape Blanco State Park Campground (31 miles to the south) is that it's in a forest of Sitka spruce trees. But I would rather camp at Bullards Beach because it’s more sheltered from the stormy weather coming off the Pacific and there are more wide-open stretches of beach close by. I look forward to staying there again.
GuideThis is a well run and well maintained campground right next to the beach. Sites are generally large and private. There is firewood available for sale. Weekends get crowded and some campers have no idea of etiquette, so be prepared for entire families to walk through your site to find the bathroom or the beach.
Cabin accommodations along Oregon's central coast provide direct access to dunes, waterways, and forest environments. Between Florence and Coos Bay, multiple state parks and private resorts offer cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities. Most cabins in this region require advance reservations, especially during summer months when visitation peaks throughout the coastal corridor.
Dunes exploration: From Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park, cabin guests can access the 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," notes one camper who rated their stay highly. The park's location provides direct access to one of the most unique landscapes on the Oregon coast.
Lake activities: Fishing and water recreation options abound at William M. Tugman State Park. The park sits directly on Eel Lake, providing cabin guests with water access. A visitor mentioned, "The beach and trails around the lake were nice and there's also another cute lake with a 1 mile loop trail nearby (Lake Marie)." The park offers a mix of water and land-based activities within walking distance of cabin sites.
Lighthouse tours: Visit nearby Umpqua Lighthouse when staying at cabin accommodations near Winchester Bay. The historic lighthouse provides educational opportunities and coastal views. "Museum and tours are great. Souvenir shop is unique and staff all over the park are informative and friendly," says a camper who visited the lighthouse during their stay.
Cabin comfort: Umpqua Lighthouse State Park offers deluxe yurts with expanded amenities. "The deluxe yurt had acres of space. The kitchen had an almost full sized fridge, a microwave, and a sink," reports a visitor who appreciated the spacious accommodations. These deluxe units provide more comfort than standard cabins while still maintaining a camping atmosphere.
Proximity to towns: Port of Siuslaw Campground & Marina cabin rentals place guests within walking distance of Florence. "The main draw of this campground is its proximity to the cute town of Florence. We don't tow a car, so being able to camp within walking distance of shops and restaurants is always a treat," writes one visitor who enjoyed the convenient location.
Winter stays: Some coastal cabin sites provide year-round accommodations with heating. A winter visitor to Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park noted, "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 and getting some creature comforts while still enjoying nature." Heated cabins allow for comfortable coastal stays regardless of season.
Reservation timing: Book cabins months in advance for peak season stays. A Tugman State Park visitor advised, "We made our reservations way in advance. I would highly recommend that if you know you're going to book as soon as possible, 6 months out if possible. We got the last yurt available for the time period we were out there." Most Oregon State Park cabins can be reserved 6 months ahead through the reservation system.
Variable weather: Coastal cabin locations experience frequent fog and cooler temperatures even in summer. A Sunset Bay State Park camper explained, "If you're in Portland and getting a bit tired of baked lawns and the regular 6 weeks of temps in the 90's brought to us by climate change, the gray skies of Sunset Bay may be just the ticket!" Coastal cabin guests should pack layers regardless of season.
Cabin amenities: Most cabins require guests to bring their own linens and cooking supplies. The standard yurt at Jessie M. Honeyman comes with "a bunk bed (top a twin and bottom maybe a full size), pull out couch, small table with 2 chairs and a heater." Guests need to supply bedding, pillows, and cooking equipment unless staying in a deluxe accommodation.
Playground access: Osprey Point RV Resort provides family amenities beyond typical cabin accommodations. One visitor noted, "Nice campground, people are friendly, bathrooms are clean. It has boats and bikecar things to rent. Store closed kinda early for the rentals though. No kids playground, but does have a fish cleaning station and a bar that's open till 10." The resort offers additional entertainment options beyond standard cabin sites.
Bathroom proximity: When booking cabins with children, consider location relative to restrooms. A Honeyman Memorial Park visitor with a toddler shared, "Our location was conveniently located near the bathroom which made for night bathroom visits easier. The bathroom is also very clean with multiple stalls and showers."
Seasonal crowds: Family cabin reservations during summer face higher noise levels and more activity. As one William M. Tugman State Park visitor observed, "We had a nice night for the most part but it definitely wasn't our style. Too many people, sites too close, lots of noise, lots of rvs and atvs. To be fair, it was a holiday weekend but I don't think we'd like it much more if it wasn't. If you have kids or an rv, it would be great."
Site layout: When selecting cabin locations, check proximity to neighbors. A visitor to Winchester Bay RV Resort noted, "The spots are nice but not all are even and decently spaced but it's on the smaller side. Bathrooms are clean and decent." Some cabin sites offer more privacy than others at the same facility.
Noise considerations: Consider ambient noise when selecting cabin locations. Winchester Bay RV Resort guests mentioned, "If you are a light sleeper and like to have a window open, you'd better wear earplugs because the foghorn blows 24/7 every 15 seconds." Cabin walls provide less sound insulation than traditional accommodations.
Access needs: Verify accessibility features when booking cabins for guests with mobility concerns. Lighthouse State Park cabins have varying layouts, with some requiring stairs to access. A visitor to the deluxe yurts observed, "The large skylight had lovely star viewing when the clouds cleared," but noted access considerations for different unit types.
