ScoutThis is a great spot. All the staff have been very friendly and helpful. They keep the place immaculately clean. Lots of great views with free hot showers, playgrounds, and firewood delivery. Just about anything you need right on the beach with jetty access all around.
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.❤️
ScoutThis is a very clean campground located right off the dunes. The campground has direct access to miles of sand to play in. It's quiet and run by such a wonderful family.
ScoutThis rustic park is perfect for year round camping. New to trailer camping and love the river views, the trees, the easy access and closeness to town.
RangerGood rest rooms and showers. Dump station is working and included in fee for campers. Close to old town Florence for shopping / eating experience. Non-Oregon residents pay higher rates. Otherwise, concur with other more detailed prior reviews. Would stay again.
RangerLarge level campground with well maintained landscaping. Asphalt paved roads and sites. Restrooms have flush toilets, hot/cold water sinks and individual showers. No tokens req'd. Nice asphalt paved walking path gets you close to beach for nice beach walks with views of iconic bridge from near jetty. Close to Oregon Aquarium which is good side trip. Sites lack privacy... and are a little close together but not bad... Quiet at night except for distant surf Would stay again.
GuideThis is a very nice clean campground. They have showers and a gift shop. The spaces are nice and not to close together. They also have a cute little book exchange in the main road. The beach is a .25 mile walk away in a paved path. Wery easy to get to. They allow pets on leashes but once you get to the beach, dogs can be off leash. The only negative I feel is they charge more for out of state residents which in my opinion is unfair and overpriced. And that does not include the 10.00 booking fee. 😐
RangerVery misty in early October but still nice.
GuideThis dispersed campground allows a 14-day stay. Paved roads and a good variety of sized campsites. I found a cemented level slab to park my trailer on, however, this was the only site with a cemented structure. Lots of blackberries to pick, and very nice place to hike with your pets.
Mapleton, Oregon serves as a gateway to diverse camping experiences along the Siuslaw River and Oregon Coast. Located at the junction where coastal forests meet inland valleys, the area sits at approximately 40 feet elevation with mild year-round temperatures typically ranging from 40-70°F. Winter camping requires proper rain gear as the region receives about 80 inches of annual rainfall, with most sites remaining open through mild coastal winters.
Sand dune adventures: At Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park, the Oregon Dunes create unique recreational opportunities. "Located close to the quant town of Florence. Lots of nearby hikes, beach access, and of course the dunes. Enjoy!" notes Blaine B. Sand boarding proves particularly popular with families: "We rented sand boards for $10 a day and had a blast sand boarding," shares Carson C.
Beach exploration: The coastline offers diverse beach activities just minutes from most campgrounds. "The beach is gorgeous!! There are several other trails that you can take right from the campground," explains Kayko S. about Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park. Walk the trails to discover tide pools during low tide or beachcomb for treasures.
River activities: The Siuslaw River provides fishing and paddling opportunities. At Whittaker Creek Recreation Site, campers can enjoy simple water recreation: "The creek is fun to play around in and you can walk all the way to the Siuslaw river with a small dammed up area where the day use area is," explains Andrea R. Kids particularly enjoy catching crawdads in the creek.
Privacy between sites: Many campgrounds offer natural separation between campsites. "Each campsite is very secluded with bushes and trees all around," notes Denise about Harbor Vista Campground. This design creates a sense of seclusion even when campgrounds are busy.
Clean facilities: Maintained bathrooms and shower facilities receive consistent praise. "Bathroom/shower house very clean. Short walk through the campground to the beach (3 access points). Host staff super friendly," reports Michelle P. about Beachside State Recreation Site. Many campgrounds offer hot showers included with your stay.
Family-friendly amenities: Campgrounds cater well to families with children. "This campground has it all! There are yurts to stay in but you have to reserve them," shares Zoe S. about Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park. Beachside State Recreation Site also receives praise for its family setup: "Huge camp with a lot of variety of spots for all campers. It was clean and very family oriented. Great access to the lake and the dunes and close to town."
Reservation requirements: Many popular campgrounds require advance planning. "We went in the off season (in the winter) so the campground didn't have many people staying- most being in RVs and us in a yurt," explains Nicole L. about her glamping experience in Mapleton. For summer visits, book months ahead.
Weather considerations: Coastal weather can change rapidly. "Since I visited in November and it rained, the drops from the trees were loud on my trailer roof," explains one camper at Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park. Even summer evenings can be cool and foggy.
Site selection strategy: Each campground has optimal and less desirable sites. "We had an upgraded electrical post, the sites and park are clean, and it is in a great location. The only downside is that the sites are really small and close together," notes Jo A. about Thousand Trails South Jetty. Research specific site numbers before booking when possible.
Yurt accommodations: For families new to camping, yurts offer an excellent glamping option near Mapleton. "I had such a nice time at this campground. We went in the off season (in the winter) so the campground didn't have many people staying- most being in RVs and us in a yurt. 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," shares Nicole L.
Playground access: Some campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. "My kiddo & I consider this a favorite since it's got some great views, and swingset (priorities, you know!)," says Cassie M. about Harbor Vista Campground. These amenities provide entertainment when children need a break from hiking and beach activities.
Junior Ranger programs: Educational activities enhance family camping experiences. At Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park, "they offer the Junior Ranger Program to occupy kiddos which is great!" according to Kelli B. These programs typically run during summer months and weekends.
Site dimensions: Many campgrounds have tight turns and limited space. "Back in spaces, so a 40 foot RV would barely fit. This is an older but well maintained campground," notes one RVer about Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park. Research maximum length restrictions before booking.
Hookup availability: Full-service sites with water, electric, and sewer connections vary by location. "We had water, 30 amp power but no other amenities. Some sites do have full hookups," explains one camper at Harbor Vista. Luxury glamping options near Mapleton typically include full hookups.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly throughout the area. "I don't even know what else is around here, but I'm about to export and have a great homebase," shares Carl S. about Heceta Beach RV Park, appreciating the park's location despite connectivity challenges in the coastal area.
