    Premier RV Resort at Eugene

    Well Managed Campground

    This is a large campground, mostly populated by big rigs, and mostly long term stays. Looked like a lot of people were working in the area. Almost all of the RV's there are very nice - no long term stay hoarder scenes. The roads are paved, majority of sites are pull through, photos on Dyrt are accurate. We had a 30 amp site and all of the utilities were well maintained and arranged well. Water pressure was good. Everything is well maintained. The women in the office were friendly, efficient, and helpful. It is a very dog friendly park and there is lots of room for dogs but everyone picked up after dogs and we heard almost zero barking. There were a few kids there but they were quiet except for a little play time in the afternoons. Downsides: a couple of the machines in the laundry were out of service (but the others worked well); there is a lot of road noise from I-5; cellular reception is sketchy. The road noise varies a lot though so ask for a site close to the office or in the older section. The new sites farther back are closer to the interstate. The road noise was much less annoying than we anticipated and we slept well. There is a TA truck stop nearby for filling up as well as a diner and a McDonalds. Of course, driving into Eugene to eat is easy enough. We had just 1 bar of Verizon and it was unusable but we had 3 bars of ATT which worked well. The do have a dog wash station toward the back of the park and also a car wash station that is easily accessible on the main road. We stayed for 3 nights while taking care of some things in Eugene and it worked out well for us. If only this place was farther off the road it would really be great.

    Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground

    Nice secluded campground

    Stayed 4 nights. Clean bathrooms, good space between campsites. Nestled in the tall trees, it would be cool during a hot summer. Since I visited in November and it rained, the drops from the trees were loud on my trailer roof. (Well duh!) 1/2 mile walk to the beach. Clean, safe, and quietWell maintained campgrounds, as are all Oregon parks. Great reservation system. (California in comparison has a terrible website. What’s up CA?) 30 and 50 amp electric, water and sewer at the site (Full hookups). Great dump station across the highway. Back in spaces, so a 40 foot RV would barely fit. This is an older but well maintained campground.

    Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground

    Nice place to stay on the Oregon Coast

    A great little campground settled along the coast near Florence, Oregon.

    Get there early as reservations cannot be made and its all first come, first serve! It is extremely busy during peak season, so if your looking for a not so busy campground, this is not it.

    Full hook ups available along with restrooms/ showers, fire wood for sale and there is a dump station on site. Picnic table and fire pit at every site. You are along HWY 101, but the trees do provide a little bit of a sound buffer. There is no playground at this campground, however they offer the Junior Ranger Program to occupy kiddos which is great! Trails nearby lead down to the beach and its 2 miles by trail to the Heceta Head Light House.

    Overall this is a great family friendly little campground!

    Visiting in the off season is a great option if you can't get a spot in peak season as it is open year round.

    I would give this one the full 5 stars, but the inability to make reservations for this State Park is a huge con :/

    Port of Siuslaw Campground & Marina

    Pricey, But Loved It

    Parks that are walking distance to shops and restaurants are such a treat.  There are breweries, restaurants, farmers market (on Tuesday afternoon), shops, etc all within easy walking distance from here.

    We stayed at a waterfront site, which was cheaper than the "premium" pull through sites in the middle.  With fees and extra pet fees (you get one pet included in the nightly fee, any additional pets are $2 each) we paid $47 for a night.   The premium sites we would not recommend, unless you must have a pull through site.  Those are basically just spots in a gravel lot with hookups.  Zero division between sites.  And they are the most expensive at $55/night.

    There's a nice gazebo to use for group events, but it's an odd set up in that there is no path to the gazebo and it's in the center of a circle of back in sites.  So if all the sites were occupied, I suppose you'd have to walk through someone's site to access it?

    So pleasantly surprised to see glass recycling here!  We got to dump off our growing pile of traveling glass recycling.  Mixed recycling is in a separate bin.  But no plastics!

    There is laundry here, and showers, but we did not use either.  There's a book exchange shelf in the office.

    Their website is out of date: there are no dry camp spots any longer.  All sites are FHU.

    Good cell service here and their wifi is good and strong, even in the back end where we were.

    We liked this place to splurge on a place close to town, but overall too pricey for us to stay for any length of time.

    Beverly Beach State Park Campground

    Absolutely Amazing

    The beach near bye. Curfew was awesome. Quiet time. Clean and friendly. Can't wait to come back. Fun crazy trails to explore. Lots of different amazing sites. Their is Yurts, tents, van life, rv pull through or back ins. The beach is so amazing.

    And pet friendly.

    Winchester Bay RV Resort

    An Oregon Coast Gem!

    RV resort for sure. Beautifully landscaped and right on the bay. All paved roads and level sites that are back in and pull through. It's a busy place so tough to get a reservation unless you book way ahead. Walking and bike path surrounds the park. Close to the small community of Winchester Bay that has a grocery store and restaurants. Just a great park.

    Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

    Book this one early!

    Located near Eugene, OR, this is one of the few local campgrounds near us.

    Open year round and it is usually full year round as well. Reservations are definitely a must for this small campground!

    This campground has all the amenities! Full hook up sites, toilets/ showers, laundry, swimming/boat ramp, picnic area, and even a dog park. Wide variety of site sizes and can accommodate most RV sizes. There are also hiking trails nearby.

    Close to town so you can easily get forgotten supplies or groceries. Perfect stay for a quick overnight when in town for Ducks games or just getting out of the house!

    Definitely recommend checking this one out if your in the area!

    Deerwood RV Park

    Nice RV park, but not worth the price

    We had a 10 day stay. Let me start with the positives:

    • Most spaces have at least 10-12 feet of grass between.
    • Nicely maintained.
    • Nice location, lots of trees and grassy areas.
    • Asphalt pads for most sites, some premium sites have a concrete pad for RV/trailer/camper with asphalt in front.
    • Decent wifi during the day, but slow as molasses at night. Assuming people streaming or downloading.

    Negatives:

    • One way route around the park.
    • Road is narrow and winding, larger rigs have issues with staying on path.
    • Mostly back-in spaces, which combined with the road, makes for interesting times getting your rig settled.
    • Spaces are fairly short, especially on Standard sites. We barely fit our 39’ Class A and a 2 door Jeep Wrangler. If our vehicle had been any longer, we would have had to park in overflow parking. We saw a lot of fifth wheels with no other vehicle in the space, we assumed they were in the overflow area.
    • No real spot to unhook a tow, except for the overflow parking area, which has a wider road portion.
    • Some signs of semi-permanent residents.
    • If you have a satellite, I am not sure the shady/trees spots would orient. We saw a lot of tailgater dishes at front of spots (we had a lawn spot with landscaping, but not in the trees).
    • Grassy lawn area is large enough to require weekly maintenance and the lawn mowing can be annoying.
    • ALL spots require jack pads. Having not stayed in too many parks with asphalt, this was a surprise for us. They did not mention at checkin, but we got a polite email the next morning.
    • Billed as a luxury rv park. Price does not reflect that. No pool, just laundry/showers/restrooms.
    • Freeway noise. Very close to I-5. Louder on the side of park closest to street and entrance.

    Harbor Vista Campground

    Great little gem in Florence OR

    I kinda like this little spot, although I must admit Florence OR isn’t on my to 10 places to stay on the coast. I find the beach access to the ocean (not river) to be a little more difficult here than other locations. Plenty of vegetation here in the park! Trees and bushes that others have described. This did cause us a small problem getting the slide out on the driver’s side while simultaneously lowering the entry steps on the passenger side. Site 25 if your wondering where we stayed exactly. Our picnic table was situated in the rear of the site. The tall vegetation provided great privacy from other campers, but also made it difficult to meet people. We had water, 30 amp power but now other amenities. Some sites do have full hookups. Our 30 foot trailer and truck did fit in the space length wise very nicely. The park is clean and welcoming. A trail will take you from the campsites down to the banks on the jetty. When the tide is out you can search for sand dollars and other tide pool finds. I work remote sometimes but our pre paid AT&T was almost non existent. T-Mobile worked good. Starlink wasn’t happening due to tree canopy obstructions. Yeah, so overall I’d say the park is great. Decently priced, level clean sites, great scenery, quiet. Cons for me, internet access is below average to poor ( your experience may be different), Florence lacks things that I personally am looking for on the Oregon coast, but you’ll need your own reasons for coming here. Mine was a stopover going north and to eat the best Thai food! That’s literally the name of the place lol Best Thai !  But if you’ve found yourself traveling through Florence, and needed a place to stop for a night or a week, I’d recommend here for sure.


Guide to Mapleton

Near Mapleton, Oregon, camping opportunities range from established RV sites with full hookups to waterfront locations along the Siuslaw River. Located about 40 miles west of Eugene at 30 feet above sea level, Mapleton receives approximately 80 inches of rainfall annually, creating lush vegetation surrounding most camping areas. Weather patterns typically include morning coastal fog that burns off by midday during summer months.

What to do

River fishing access: Elkton RV Park provides direct river access for anglers. "Great fishing," notes Dan R., who visited the riverfront camping area. The park sits directly on the Umpqua River, allowing campers to fish within walking distance from their sites.

Crabbing opportunities: At Salmon Harbor Marina, campsites position you near prime crabbing locations. "Great park, sites close to crabbing pier, easy access to boat ramp for those who bring one," reports trisha Y., who enjoyed the park's proximity to seafood harvesting.

Beach exploration: Camp near the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area where you'll find extensive beach access. "If you head South you can walk down to the jetty and a section of sand dunes," notes Kelly about Heceta Beach RV Park, mentioning the "10 minute walk" to reach the "very expansive" beach area.

Tidepooling spots: Marine life viewing at low tide draws many campers to coastal locations. "Amazing tidepooling 5 minutes up Hwy 101 at Bob Creek," shares Mari H. about staying at Sea Perch RV Resort, where ocean access combines with proximity to natural features like Thor's Well and Cape Perpetua.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the region maintain well-kept restrooms and shower areas. At Sea Perch RV Resort, visitors appreciate the "immaculate showers" and note there's a "nice club house with... viewing room to watch the sea," according to Pilar F.

Marina proximity: Campsites near fishing harbors offer both scenic views and practical advantages. "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," explains April K. about Winchester Bay RV Resort.

Walking distance to towns: Several camping options place you within walking distance of local shops and amenities. The Port of Siuslaw Campground positions campers where "Old Town is just a two-minute walk, with lots of restaurants, shops, and galleries. There is also a Safeway just a 15-minute walk away," according to franki A.

Privacy features: Site design varies considerably between parks, with some offering more seclusion than others. Kelly noted that Heceta Beach RV Park has "Each site has a small picnic table and fire ring" and provides "Fairly quiet aside from some periodic road noise, overall peaceful setting."

What you should know

Site spacing considerations: RV sites near Mapleton vary significantly in how close they position campers to neighbors. "The sites are very tight. We had few neighbors the first night but when our neighbors arrived we lost our view and did listen to them all night by the fire," reports Gail S. about Darlings Marina & RV Resort.

Weather-related flooding: Seasonal rain can impact lower-elevation sites in the region. "The Oregon Coast had had a ton of rain in the last few weeks, so parts of the campground were under water," explains David & Sue C. about Thousand Trails South Jetty, advising visitors to "look at the entire campground before you pick your spot" to find drier options.

Navigation challenges: Some campgrounds feature complex layouts that can be difficult for newcomers to navigate. Emily L. describes Thousand Trails South Jetty as having a "Kinda confusing map/layout," while noting they "were able to find a spot easily" despite this challenge.

Lighting conditions: Nighttime arrival can present challenges at some locations. Ashton B. mentions that at Heceta Beach RV Park, "Lighting isn't great on the roads, so pulling in at night and trying to see the small street signs was a challenge."

Tips for camping with families

Playgrounds and activities: Some campgrounds provide dedicated facilities for younger visitors. Neil B. appreciates that at Thousand Trails Whalers Rest, "So many good areas for kids to play and the staff really does a great job planning activities for the whole family."

Beach access considerations: When camping with children, consider the distance to water access. Nicole R. mentions that at Thousand Trails Whalers Rest, "Kids enjoyed playing on the playground and walking to beach from trail," highlighting the convenience of having recreation options within walking distance.

Recreation amenities: Look for campgrounds with built-in entertainment options for days when you don't leave the property. Josh K. notes that "Whalers has some great amenities. The pool, mini golf, play ground and other fun games," though he cautions about site quality and size at this location.

Pet-friendly options: Many families camp with dogs, and Winchester Bay RV Resort accommodates this need with "Lots of grassy areas for dogs," according to April K., making it easier to exercise pets while staying at the campground.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: When securing an RV site, consider location-specific factors beyond just size. David & Sue C. learned at South Jetty to check the entire campground before settling: "We took a walk around the campground and found the high-side of the campground, much bigger, much drier sites. We made a dash for the trailer to get everything packed back in so we could move!"

Big rig compatibility: Larger RVs require careful consideration of site dimensions and access. At Maple Lane RV Park & Marina, the park features big-rig friendly pull-through RV pads that accommodate both motorhomes and travel trailers, with Montana O. noting, "The camp host and manager have been courteous and kind always," for those needing assistance with parking.

Leveling considerations: Site surface affects setup ease for RVers. Ella T. appreciated that at Thousand Trails Whalers Rest, "We stayed on the south side with concrete pads that were nestled in between trees. We were here during significant rainfall and appreciated not being in mud."

Internet connectivity: Remote work campers should note connection quality. Richard B. reports that at Thousand Trails Whalers Rest, despite being "Heavily treed," they were "able to get good Starlink reception with download speed around 200 Mbps."
