Stayed here last night in free space next to Regular RV park but right on the Water and even had a picnic table with grassy area. Away from the traffic very quiet. And a short walk over to Casino.

We loved staying here! Beautiful beach that is lovely at sunset and sunrise. Helpful and friendly hosts. Sites fairly close but didnt feel bothered by it.

Horse Creek is a great site for horse camping. Only two sites are for non-stock campers. The camp has no water or any hook ups but the corrals are pretty good except they can get muddy if manure is not carefully picked out.
The horse water trough is a short walk away from camp but does not have potable water. If users are not careful it can drain or not be usable so bring horse water.
The trails are wonderful!! But hilly so make sure your horse is fit or you are willing to take it easy. Many of the original overlooks are starting to be grown in but the forest is amazing!

Nice area lots of privacy clean

Staying in one of the furnished cabins. Great RV and Airstream trailer sites as well. Full hookups. Marginal WiFi available. Use my phone most of the time because poor WiFi. Cabins are fairly new but mine had some needed repairs already
Traveler
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.
Traveler
I spent one night here on a trip to southern Oregon and it was a very quiet and safe place to stay. The pit toilets were clean, the water spigots were easily accessible, and the site had an excellent pad for my tent. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

Our stay at the RV spot on the beach was absolutely magical. Waking up to the sound of waves crashing and stepping out to golden sands right from our doorstep was an unparalleled experience. The facilities were well-maintained, and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The sunset views were breathtaking, making every evening feel like a painting come to life. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to combine the adventure of RV living with the serenity of beachfront relaxation.
GuideThis was a gem that I wish we had an extra night to stay at. Spot 62 had a secret access to the beach that looks to be one of two away from the general access. Water and electricity hookups with grey water dumps throughout park. Restrooms and showers were available and the camp host has firewood for sale between 5-7pm. Peaceful morning walk on the beach.

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.
This campground used to have boondock / dry camp spots for a lower cost, but now all sites are FHU. The sites are packed pretty close together, and wouldn't be pleasant for an extended stay, but for a night or two it's find. There's a lot of activity with the fishing boats which is fun to watch.
There's a dump station for a fee for non-campers, laundry, showers, a book exchange in the office, trash dumpsters and recycling.
Guide
We loved this campground. Hiking and fishing at lake 50 yards away, near the light house, Off Highway vehicle park, beaches, super clean, warm showers, and good size spaces.

Easy to get too from Eugene. Inbetween yachats and walport. Can walk to either. Pacfic Sourdough in Walport is worth a visit. Days open were thursday-saturday. They get a line up. Yummmm. Market in yachats is Sunday. Check if open as it may be seasonal
GuideThey have multiple first come sites. Works for us as we cant plan that far ahead. Bathrooms are clean and get cleaned twice a day. Only thing missing would be a shower. Camp hosts are helpful and always around for questions
Scout
The sites are all mostly seperated by trees which is nice. We can as a first come first serve and there was no issue getting a site
TravelerWe had horrible weather and our campsite flooded us out. Not much fun in a vintage trailer. But Jack, the campsite manager, took great care of us. He moved us to a higher location, just in time for the sun to come out. If you can get a site overlooking the beach, that's definitely the way to go. It is a smaller campground but it's clean and well kept. The showers are fine. And, as I said, Jack is great. We'll be back.
Traveler
Enjoyed our spot! Near the restrooms and a large, reservable group area too. Meticulously kept facilities and grounds. You can hear the ocean from the campground, but it is a ways off. Trails to the dunes and an abundance of thick foresty vegetation on all 3 sides of our spot. We love it here!
GuideCamping on the beach can indeed be a hit or miss experience, but Bay Point Landing has managed to create a little slice of outdoor luxury. With its thoughtful layout and comprehensive amenities, it's a far cry from the all-too-common parking lot scenario. The indoor facilities cater to both children and adults, ensuring that everyone has something to enjoy, rain or shine. Indoor amenities included a cash less laundry mat, indoor lap pool, exercise room, Kids den, a game room and another area for adults where happy hour was held including a local musician. The outdoor amenities seem just as considerate, including a playground for the kids, a bowling green and a dog wash with soap provided. The restrooms were clean and the shower where private rooms included the shower, sink and a toilet. Some sites are right next to the bay which did have a sewer smell once a day for about 30 minutes. Not sure if it was when the tide came in or out. We were in site 37 and had good internet access. Be careful following GPS instructions. Both RV Life and google sent us in the wrong direction off the 101. Follow the instructions provided by Bay Point Landing.

We stayed at Bastendorff Campground in August 2024 in tent site 15. Going in, I didn't know much about the campground besides it's close to Charleston and Coos Bay and it has showers. It turns out that all but one of the showers was out of order. The one shower that worked was weak but the temperature didn't fluctuate so it was ok. Overall I was disappointed I didn't make our reservation at Sunset Bay State Park.
Pros:
-Close to nice beaches like Bastendorff and Sunset Bay.
-I got cell reception at our campsite.
-The bathrooms and the one shower were kept clean.
-There is a playground and an open field with a view of the ocean.
-Not many insects in the park; no mosquitoes.
Cons:
-The bushes between the campsites are small and thin and there aren't many trees, so there's no privacy and not enough trees to hang a hammock.
-The loop with the tent sites is right next to Beach Bound RV Park where you may hear the serene sounds of a backhoe scraping up rocks, truck engines, or guys cutting logs with chainsaws.
-The men's bathrooms: the doors on the stalls don't lock and there are no (working) hand dryers or paper towels.
-Most of the showers were out of order.
-There are no gray water disposal drains like I've used at other campgrounds to wash dishes.
-There is a foghorn nearby that woke me up one foggy morning.
-There was trash in the bushes at our site as well as small bits of litter throughout the campground.
-The tent sites are just sandy dirt so when it rained everything got muddy.
-There is no trail from the park to Bastendorff Beach; the beach is a short drive down the road.
-The locals: while we were there in August someone nearby kept lighting off mortar fireworks around 10:00 -10:30 pm, and one night someone drove by honking their car horn.
Guide
The sites themselves aren’t very private, but we knew what we were getting when we booked the campground. It was an excellent spot to explore the Bandon area, with beautiful beaches a short drive away. We enjoyed the clean showers and restrooms.
GuideStaff super nice and accommodating. Lots of trees. Most sites have a private feel. Close to beach. Very nice day use area with awesome view of ocean. Clean. Near Charleston and a nice fish market and other amenities.

No, reflection on them but not clearly reflected on the Dyrt app.

This is one of the best campgrounds for RVs that you'll ever find; 30A power& water at each site and the foliage is super tall and thick, so you won't see the neighbors to your left& right.
The bathrooms are pretty decent, but there's only 1 and it's at the entrance; if you're in the lower section, put on your walking shoes or get an Uber if your RV doesn't have a toilet. The views are awesome and the place is generally sheltered from the wind, but I haven't been here in the winter when it's really blowing. There's a private section that goes to the jetty, but a ton of the neighborhood residents like to use it too, so you will see a lot of off-leash dogs.
Park caretaker is super helpful and they regularly clean the bathrooms and showers.
Guide
Another huge Oregon state park campground. We were in loop H, which is the farthest loop from the entrance. These sites were closer together than the previous state park campground were we stayed, but our site was still fairly private with shrubs on one side and trees on the other. We arrived about 10 minutes after the 4pm check-in time, which was a first for us, and there was a short line to register. People also had to wait for us to back into our spot, but nobody was rude or anything. As this park is inside the Oregon Dunes National Recreation area, it was a point of entry for people to take their ORVs out and run around on the dunes. I was a bit worried that the sounds of motors revving and racing about wasn't going to stop, but it did. The last noise I heard was probably around 9pm. This park is very family oriented and kid friendly. We took our toddler to the playground, which she loved, but there were a lot of bigger kids there who were not being supervised so it was a little bit hectic. We finally had to leave to avoid our child getting bowled over by some elementary age boys who were not respecting or paying attention to other people's space. There was another family with a little guy too who left the playground shortly before us. I realize that the campground/state park can't control what ages of kids play at this playground and all kids are welcome to play there. Just be aware if you have toddler age littles, there is no separate area for smaller kids and not everyone supervises their children. This was a very nice campground and if you are a person who has ORVs, this would definitely be a great destination.

Challenging one lane Gravel Road to get to beautiful Meadow after challenging entrance to golf course with few instructions on how to reach camping area. However, once there it's a beautiful and quiet and well maintained area with numerous sites including a yurt and lots of privacy , Wildlife and Greenery
Scout
Bathrooms were close, also water between every two camp sites. Showers were pretty nice. The lake is absolutely amazing! Really was worth money. It also wasn’t to expensive at all.
TravelerThis Campground is really nice. The camping spaces are spread out and isolated by vegetation, providing some privacy. Restrooms are clean and there are plenty of water spigots. Most important, there are nice hiking trails at the campground and nearby.
