    Overview

    Eel Creek Campground sits among coastal shrubbery on the edge of the sandy dunes within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The campground provides a peaceful and attractive atmosphere for hikers and birders. The most popular non-motorized trail here is the John Dellenback Dunes Trail, which guides hikers through the scenic dunes to the Pacific beach. This section of dunes features spectacular heights and stunning, expansive vistas.

    Recreation

    The John Dellenback Dunes Trail takes hikers on a 2.7-mile (one way) trek from a conifer forest across the open dunes to the beach at the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, hikers will be treated to expansive views of the surrounding landscape. This hike makes for an incredible workout, due to tall dunes and soft sand. Quality wildlife watching is also available at the campground.

    Natural Features

    Most sites are secluded and private due to dense shrubbery like rhododendrons and salal. Sites 7, 8, 42, and 43 are perched on the sand of the dunes. The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering up to 500 feet above sea level.

    Horse Creek Campground — Siuslaw National Forest

    Horse Camp

    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 spot directly on beach!

    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.

    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!

    A getaway

    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.

    Maria C Jackson State Park

    Forrest Preserve Area

    In 1946, Maria Clopton Jackson, a Portland philanthropist and widow of Oregon Journal publisher Charles Samuel“Sam” Jackson, helped an organization called Save the Myrtle Woods purchase forty-two acres of land on Brummit Creek in Sitkum for a park. In 1950, the property became the Maria C. Jackson State Park. For the dedication, Jackson was chauffeured in a black limousine over miles of winding gravel road. No longer maintained, the park survives as a Myrtlewood Grove of Interest.

    Close to town

    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.

    Wonderful Glamping spot

    Camping 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.

    Quiet spot near the Oregon dunes

    The campsite feels secluded for a car campground. 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.

    Rundown facilities, no privacy

    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.

    Spacious sites, lush/tall foliage & great location

    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.

    Kids kids and more kids

    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.
