  Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground

  Very Popular

  The second Friday of September this was the only campground along the Oregon coast that had an open spot. The only space available was the handicap site, which is only open to non-handicapped campers after 7pm. As a tent camper this was not an ideal spot. The majority of the sites are designed for RVs and have hook ups. There were plenty of tent campers using these sites, especially the smaller ones further back. There are also hiker-biker sites located sort of in the middle of an RV loop. There are also tent sites that are removed from the tent parking area. When I drove through the tent site parking I couldn't see any of the tent sites.

  The campground has flushing toilets and hot showers. If you are camping showers are free and unlimited. The showers are also made available to non-campers for $2. The campground is connected to hiking trails in the area of varying difficulty including a 1/2 mile trail to the beach. The state park is on both sides of the road but the campground is on side away from the beach. The Oregon coast in this area is incredible and the geography changes drastically as you drive between Newport and Florence. Both towns are worth a visit.

  Black Canyon Campground - Willamette NF

  Primitive

  Not the place to take a big motorhome and no cell service but nice if you want to tent camp in the woods

  Waxmyrtle Campground

  River access

  Excellent place for gentle river kayaking or a nice hike. Love the quiet, peaceful surroundings. Have stayed here several times tent camping. Highly recommend this campground.

  Umpqua Lighthouse State Park Campground

  Loud, Crowded

  People in other reviews say the sites aren’t so close they’re on top of each other- idk where they have stayed in other places but these sites are so close together that in my tent site I could make eye contact and hear everything other people were talking about. Even in the yurt- I could hear everyone around me, even hear other sites that were farther away- like full conversations. This campground has way too many sites- and with fees it still ends up being expensive at $27 a night for a tiny tent site. Loud, crowded, don’t stay here if you want peace and quiet. Good for families or groups I guess- as a solo traveler I definitely will not ever come back to this site.

  Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

  Great large size park with lots of camping spots

  This is a very large (160 spot) campground with RV hookup and tent sites. There’s a great day use area as well. Bathrooms are clean and showers are available. Great place to stay. Just read all the other reviews.

  Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

  Some sites are small, but beautiful park

  There's a lot of construction in some loops right now (08/2020), but the park is beautiful. Access to Woahink and Cleawox lakes and a beautiful, mossy forest makes this a great park on its own. Access to the nearby Oregon dunes is restricted in the spring and summer, but direct the rest of the year. Note to pet owners: we spotted a rough-skinned newt working its way through our site - they are poisonous if licked or eaten! Be careful what site you book if tent camping - not all sites are large enough.

  Cascara Campground — Fall Creek State Recreation Area

  Great place

  Beautiful. About 30 min away from groceries and stores. Came in late to this campround. No reservation needed. Lucky they had a couple of tent sites open. We ended up staying an extra day. About $21 for a night with a car. Extra vehicle extra $7.

  Blue Pool — Willamette National Forest

  Quiet campground, great for families

  Blue Pools is a great family campground, open for walk-ins during the summer. The sites are large and versatile between RV and tent sites. There are paved paths that are great for bike rides. Some campsites require a walk in with parking nearbye.

  Black Canyon Campground - Willamette NF

  Our favorite Oregon campground

  We love this campground. We’ve only tent camped here. The site we’ve always stayed at is huge, way far from any other sites, and has a neat little trail between the parking spot and camping spot. The river is a short walk away and has wonderful spots for the kids to play in away from the main channel. The one downside is the train that goes during the night across the river, but we were usually tired enough it didn’t bother us too much. We’ve since moved away from Oregon but will always remember this spot fondly and will camp there anytime we can when we’re back in Oregon!

  Horse Creek Campground — Siuslaw National Forest

  The Oregon Coast's Hidden Treasure

  After accidentally reserving the wrong campground, we were pointed in the direction of Horse Creek. Access to it is up an unmarked dirt road, about 10 minutes from 101. It's truly out in the middle of the woods, with campsites meant for campers with horses but it worked perfectly for our tent camping. Pay on site, no campground host. Vault toilets.

  Hi-Way Haven RV Park

  Excellent !!! 100% recommended for a safe and nice weekend

  Staff was extremely friendly, professional and attentive. They have everything super clean on bathrooms, kitchen and around the park. Tent sites has electricity and picnic tables. They also a full kitchen to cook with free coffee and perishable food. They had free movie night on big screen with free popcorn and a nice forepit.

  Dexter Shores RV Park

  Clean, safe, comfortable

  I had an easy stopover here on the way to Eastern Oregon. I didn’t want to use my tanks, so I used their restrooms. They were warm, clean, and well-lit. Walking back and forth from my trailer, I felt safe. There are plenty of big trees in the park which is lovely. Lots of full-timers live here, plus there is a portion that is mobile homes. There’s also a nice looking tent camping area, but it was cold and no one was there. They also have an area for walking the dogs. Good Sam discount. Contrary to the listing, they do have 30 amp service.

  Windy Cove Campground (Section B)

  Best on the OR coast!

  I’ve been coming to the Winchester Bay RV Resort for over 30 years. It is , by far, my favorite place to camp on the OR coast! They do not have tent sites, but if you have an RV, you will love it! It’s nestled between the marina and the Umpqua river heading out to the ocean.

  Umpqua Lighthouse State Park Campground

  To small for me

  We were a bit suprised when we got there to find the tent site was very small, I mean small. There was no place for you to let the dog do their business and the only real place to walk was a STEEP walk to the lake. Very noisy, and the park people were kind of rude. Showers were gross.

  Hult Pond

  Secluded Pond Great for a Quick stay

  Great spot for a quick stay. There are only a few flat spots for RVs but quite a few decent spots for tent camping next to the pond. The west side of the pond has at least 2 spots that are a good distance away from the others. At the moment, no fires or barbecues allowed but propane stoves and lanterns are fine. Look for Bandits blue squeaky disk! We lost it and never found it.

  Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground

  Great place to camp a couple nights.

  Right across the highway from the beach is the Washburne State Park campground. It’s a short walk to the beach from the day use area of the park. There are two loops for RV’s and those who want electric sites. The seven tent sites are all walk in, set back in the trees and very private from each other as well as set apart from the RV sites. The campground provides a cart for you to haul any gear to your campsite. I had tent site 77, which was mostly level, with a picnic table and fire pit and I had hookup site 11 the next night.  Firewood was available for sale by the campground host near the entrance. I loved how quiet the campground was at all times and that I could hear the ocean at night from both of my sites. The bathhouse was new, clean, and had great water pressure! The only downside was that the nearest bathhouse was a long walk into the RV loop and the small toilet and sink only bathroom in the tent area was locked while I was there. A creek ran through the campground, but was downhill from the tents, so you really don’t know that it is there.

  Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

  Close to Eugene and by the river!

  The on-site host is available by phone at 1pm to 2pm and I believe 4pm to 5pm. Otherwise you have to call the main line and book a space. It’s $20 or $30 for a tent site and $30 for a rv site. I have stayed there multiple times. It has showers and bathrooms and it is clean and safe. It’s a great place to stay close to town and avoid the hotel scene.

  Eugene Kamping World RV Park

  Smells awful, very loud, overpriced

  Tent campers beware! The tent sites have cats that roam the area and the world is their litter box. The smells at night were rough. The cats caused dogs to bark all night. People playing loud music throughout the night. Screaming kids and adults all night. People throwing rocks. And again, the smells are awful. Very Overpriced. Go up the road or just find somewhere else. I camp 6-7 times per week for the last few months across the country. This is by far the WORST campground I’ve ever encountered.

  Maple Lane RV Park & Marina

  Clean & quiet

  Our group of three was here for Labor Day weekend. RV/Trailer and tent camping available. Darlene was there to greet us and take is to our parking spot. The parking area is clean and quiet. A short distance walk takes you to the marina. There is a shared area with, fire pit,fish cleaning station, bbq grill, laundry, and restroom facilities. Overall a pleasant experience. The only thing to note is spaces between RV/trailer is “cozy” and probably one of the tighter space once’s we’ve been to.

  Richardson Park & Campground - A Lane County Park

  Roomy tent sites & awesome hosts!

  Large, spacious tent sites with fire rings & tons of trees. The hosts are great and deliver firewood to your site. The showers are HOT and have great water pressure. Dumpsters & a recycle bin near the bathrooms. There is a road near some of the campsites but I didn’t mind the road noise. I was able to show up and get one of the 6 camp sites for 2 nights without reservations. There are a ton of mosquitos - bring bug spray!

  Coastal rainforest sandune wonderland

  I love Florence! Just 5 minutes away from old town for great coffee shop under the bridge and great margaritas at the travelers cove and gateway to the coast trails. This campground is great for bird, mushrooms, walks, even paddle bots at nearby cleowox lake. Rangers were helpful finding a spot for my needs: quiet tent site away from the crowd. It does get filled up on weekends with families and some sites more private than others so just ask to drive thru and pick your spot first. Yurts and hook ups available too. State park

  Sutton Campground

  Quiet but near Florence

  Largish( for a Forest Service camp) campground just north of Florence. Its just far enough off 101 that there is very little noise from the road. I got a really nice cozy private tent site on the C loop..the other loops looked to be more RV type ones. It was pretty quiet and had a nice hiking loop around the beautiful creek. Had a nice time later watching the bats do aerobatics catching their dinner at sunset..there is a large open space which makes this fun. Nice park, had not been here since my kid was a toddler..good memories

  Sutton Campground

  Nice campground, very expensive

  The campground here was nice and large. Lots of tent sites and room for trailers. The spots are very expensive as you can see from the info provided about the campground. We paid 36$ for our tent spot for 1 night. That’s crazy if you ask me. The sites are nice and have a fire pit and table. The creek nearby is unreachable from any camp spot. The bank access is overgrown and very steep. So don’t plan on playing in the water here. Bathrooms were nice and adequate. Trails for walker are located throughout the campground. It’s a nice campground if you don’t mind the price, but for my money I’ll stay somewhere else.

  William M. Tugman State Park Campground

  Cute little campground with great lake and trails!

  We stayed in site B33 for a few nights in July 2020. The sites are kind of small for tent camping, and a few are a little too open for my taste, but our site had some lovely privacy hedges around it. The bathrooms were cleaned very frequently, which I found comforting given there's a pandemic. 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 only drawback is that it is near enough to the highway that you can hear trucks and sometimes ATVs going by at night. We will definitely come back this way again soon!

  Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground

  Forested Coastal Camping

  I went with a group of five ladies to visit Cape Perpetua for a weekend and we absolutely loved our stay at Washburne. The campsites are forested with a cute creek that runs through the whole area. There are showers, flush toilets, and plugs in the bathrooms. There are two open grass areas for sports and a sandbox for kids too. Its a short drive from the coast and offers full hook ups for RVs as well as an inexpensive area for tent camping. Though it was under repair at the time, we were able to set up our tents at an RV spot (without hookups) for the same price as regular camping. Its all family run here and quaint. Only a short drive from Strawberry Hill, Thor's Well, Cape Perpetua, and Yachats.

  Good family campsite

  You'd have to be really careful when choosing a campsite because of the size of tent pads, etc. A newbie to camping may overlook that important detail and arrive to a site with barely space for tent, closeness of tent to firepit, etc.

  The campground is pretty popular in the Coast so during peak seasons, it will get crowded.

  The bathrooms are great and clean - showers are free and open all night. There is a toilet in the bathroom so it was great for families who ... multi-task (shower a kid while emptying bladders separately).

  Our boys, aged 8 and 6, enjoyed the playground within the campground. The roads are paved so they were able to ride their bikes around the connected loops.

  Bring a tent broom because there are pine trees everywhere! You may need to sweep before and after setting up your tent.

  We tent-camped and drove an SUV.
