What campers like
Privacy barriers: Sunset Bay State Park Campground offers hedged sites for seclusion. "This campground is well-maintained and the campsites are fairly private, separated from each other by thick hedges. Sunset Bay is steps away and has a beautiful beach," reports Sarah.
Wildlife viewing: Cape Blanco State Park provides opportunities to observe coastal creatures.

You'll pop out into a meadow of wild flowers and tall grasses overlooking the ocean...you can hear the seals being noisy out in the ocean," mentions Ryan W.
Clean facilities: Bastendorff Beach Park maintains well-kept amenities. "Site 40 was excellent! A berm of at least 10 ft surrounds. Big part of the site. Firewood delivered to site :) Brand new hot free showers close to the site," shares Vicky G.
Natural surroundings: Dew Valley Ranch Nature Retreat offers a secluded cabin experience. "This place is amazing! Heather and Nathan go out of their way to make sure it is a great experience. It is very well-maintained, rustic, and peaceful. You were greeted upon your arrival and told all about all of the amenities," shares A.I.
What you should know
Beach access varies: Not all cabins provide direct beach views or quick access. "This campground is not on the beach. There is a beach nearby that would be a long walk or a short bike ride away," notes Emma L. about Bullards Beach State Park Campground.
Weather conditions: Cape Blanco State Park Campground experiences significant coastal effects. "It is very windy here, but the plants surrounding the sites keep out most of the coastal wind and also provide plenty of privacy from other sites. Be prepared for cold weather and misty air," advises Haley C.
Connectivity challenges: Cell service and internet vary greatly between locations. "We had NO Verizon connection and limited Starlink connectivity — the beautiful tall trees obstruct the satellite visibility. Great place for a long stay if you don't need to reach the outside world," Sarah mentions about Sunset Bay State Park.
Varying amenities: Cabin facilities range from rustic to fully equipped. "The Knappin Hous [at Dew Valley Ranch] has its own toilet, which is very convenient. There is a propane, fire ring, a clothesline, a fire pit, a picnic table, comfy chairs, perfectly placed solar lights, and much more!" notes one visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Powers County Park offers recreational facilities for children. "There's so much to do like, fishing, swimming, hiking, big playground, or just sit and relax around your peaceful camp spot. Always clean and great people," says Stephanie B.

Programs for families, camp hosts who are present and helpful, rangers who are knowledgeable and competent," explains John B. about the state park system around Sunset Bay.
Swimming safety: LaVerne County Park provides protected water access for children. "The tent sites are fairly close together, but it was not crowded when we were there. There is a swimming hole and lots of access to the calm river," notes Sara R.
Indoor options: For rainy days, Bay Point Landing offers climate-controlled spaces.

It is available to reserve for group functions and open to all campers if not reserved," explains Lee D.
Tips from RVers
Site sizes: Bay Point Landing accommodates larger vehicles with spacious layouts. "The sites are nice length and width. We had a back up site, with the water 50' away. Worth the premium. Utilities well placed," notes Patrick J.
Hookup accessibility: Consider utility placement when selecting sites. "Only reasons I don't give 5 stars is the RV sites have connections in center of site which is difficult for hoses and cords. Some RV sites are very uneven and sloped making it hard to be level," shares Jeff M. about the Bandon-Port Orford KOA.
Size restrictions: Some locations limit older or larger RVs. "There's a 'no trailers older than 10 years rule'. Our renovated Vintage '64 Airstream needed a pre-approval," explains Janice about Bay Point Landing's policies.
Winter accessibility: Many camping cabins near Myrtle Point, Oregon remain open during off-season months. "Winter camping at this beautiful county park has lots of room and few campers. The river is awesome and the Myrtlewood trees and craggy rocks are so pretty. Spaces have electric and water with a dump station," notes Heidi J. about LaVerne County Park's year-round availability.
