SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
North Bend, Oregon and the surrounding coastal region feature multiple campground options for outdoor enthusiasts. The area includes established facilities like Bluebill Campground and Sunset Bay State Park Campground, which accommodate tent and RV camping. Several locations offer cabin accommodations, including Bay Point Landing and Bastendorff Beach Park. The Elliott State Forest provides dispersed camping opportunities for those seeking a more primitive experience. Most campgrounds in the area are located within 10-15 miles of North Bend, positioned near the Oregon Dunes, lakes, and coastal areas.
Camping season varies by location, though many sites operate year-round. Bluebill Campground operates seasonally from May 1 to September 30, while state parks like Sunset Bay and Bullards Beach remain open throughout the year. Campgrounds near the Oregon Dunes often experience high visitation during summer months when ATV and dune activities peak. Reservations are recommended, particularly for developed campgrounds with amenities like hookups, showers, and flush toilets. Several locations offer cabin and yurt rentals as alternatives to traditional camping. According to visitor feedback, "Bluebill is by far the quietest and most secluded of the campgrounds in the area. Surrounded by trees and right up against the lake with a great loop trail around it."
The Oregon Dunes area creates distinct camping experiences with varying noise levels. Campgrounds permitting OHV access tend to be noisier, while others maintain quieter environments. Horsfall Campground provides direct dune access popular with ATV enthusiasts, described by one camper as "a glorified parking lot for ATV enthusiasts" with spots that are "just large parking spots painted on the concrete." In contrast, Bluebill Campground prohibits OHVs, creating a more peaceful setting. Many campgrounds feature waterfront access, whether coastal or lakeside. Several campgrounds offer electrical hookups and water connections for RVs, while more primitive sites focus on tent camping. Most established campgrounds provide basic amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and access to potable water, with varying levels of privacy between sites.

Baker Beach Campground
Very quiet stay.
Stopped here for the night. Got the last open spot on a Tuesday. Got site 2. Close to the neighbors it’s pretty flat if you back up close to the rocks. The grounds and trail smell like horse poop. Goes away if the wind blows in an another direction. The trail to the beach has a lot of horse poop as there’s someone up the road that does horse back riding tours to the beach. Only a few sites we got luck and got the last available site on a Tuesday in July. Got site 2 it’s pretty level if you get up close to the rocks in the side. Campground host was very friendly. Cleanest pit toilet I have ever seen.

Sites vary. Nice area
Sites vary from open areas with campers on both sides and in front or back to tree line behind and campers side by side. Site 27 seemed more private with trees behind and out side door. The back of property is National Marsh lands so is quiet. Easy access to all things Bandon. Quiet and clean. Camp host and owner were very nice and accommodating. Sites have power and water hookups. Nice grassy spots. Just across highway the Bullards St Park let's non campers use dump station for a donation.

Great camping spot on the beach
Had so much fun, my family and I did a full family camp, had 4 spots reserved and it was no issue whatsoever. The bathrooms and showers were down for one day and they had them running the very next morning. Love this place, wish I could live here.

They have tent sites too!
I almost missed finding this gem because I was looking for a tent site and this appeared to only have a motel and with room for RVs in the back, but they also have two tent sites tucked into the trees!
It’s obviously not a “roughing it” spot, but I loved stopping here for the night. The whole space has been renovated with a lot of attention to detail and is very clean and well maintained. The bathroom…omg the bathroom was an absolute dream. It was nicer than some hotels! A shower in there after a couple nights of camping felt unreal.
There was strong WiFi, great cell service, and it was quieter than I thought it would be given its proximity to the road. And Ed, the guy that welcomed me and got me checked in was so kind and inviting. Great vibes all around and great location!

Sru Lake
Primitive with restrooms
This park is very remote and primitive. There are vault restrooms that were clean and stocked. Fire rings and picnic tables at each camp spot. The lake was low on water and very weedy, algae not real good for swimming. Fishing could be good, we didn't take our gear so not sure how that pans out. Mosquitos all around be sure to bring protection or they will feast on you. No cell service, no fresh water you will need to bring your own as well as fire wood. There was no road noise and we were the only people there the entire time, during the weekdays, never been there on a weekend.

BLM Dispersed Camping
The turn off from the sealed road onto hard dirt/gravel road is all free dispersed camping. It's not terribly flat but we didn't go far down the roads to see. We did find a reasonably flat area immediately inbetween the 2 roads as soon as we pulled off. You can continue down the road but the rutts get deeper, people have also left alot of rubbish here. We took what we could but please remember to take your rubbish with you. Great views of the surrounding area, very quiet, 20°c at 7pm, small breeze. Overall very pleasant, can fit most big campers etc Google says main road up is unsealed, this is incorrect. The entire road is fresh tarmac all the way up. Seen a few flies and no Mozzies. 2 bars of 4g Verizon signal. Some trucks coming up the road in the morning but nothing during the night. Very clear night sky if you like stargazing.
Guide to North Bend
The Oregon coast near North Bend experiences a unique marine microclimate, with average summer temperatures rarely exceeding 70°F and frequent coastal fog. The area sits where the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area meets Coos Bay, creating distinct camping environments within 15 miles of town. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, though winter brings consistent rainfall averaging 65 inches annually.
What to do
Hiking coastal trails: At William M. Tugman State Park Campground, campers access lake and forest trails. "The hike out of the campground is strenuous but the dunes are absolutely breathtaking. Nearby you can hike Siltcoos lake, swim in Lake Marie or visit the beach," notes one visitor to Eel Creek Campground.
Crabbing and fishing: The area offers multiple spots for seafood catching. "The park will lend you crab traps, go down to Charleston piers and catch your supper. They also have a great cleaning and cooking station," explains a camper at Sun Outdoors Coos Bay.
Lighthouse tours: Visit the historic lighthouses near camping areas. "The lighthouse is an awesome site and I highly recommend the area," shares a camper from Umpqua Lighthouse State Park. The nearby museum offers tours explaining the maritime history of the Oregon coast.
Dune exploration: Access the Oregon Dunes directly from several campgrounds. "There is a trail that leads to the beach. The bathrooms were super clean, and the showers were as well," notes a camper at Bullards Beach State Park, located about 25 miles south of North Bend.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Campers consistently mention vegetation barriers creating secluded spots. At Sunset Bay State Park Campground, "the campsites are fairly private, separated from each other by thick hedges. Sunset Bay is steps away and has a beautiful beach," according to a recent review.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high standards for bathrooms and showers. "Great experience, plenty of campsites, wonderfully hot showers. The D section showers, if you put the handle to the bottom right it'll be nice and hot!" advises a Sunset Bay State Park visitor.
Beach proximity: Several campgrounds offer direct beach access. "The tent sites are packed in super tight, and at least the one I was staying in had a 3 foot tall bush serving as the only privacy barrier between myself and my neighbors who were about 5 feet away from me on either side," notes a solo traveler at Sun Outdoors Coos Bay.
Wildlife viewing: The coastal setting provides opportunities to observe marine and forest animals. "You can hear the seals being noisy out in the ocean," mentions a camper about Sunset Bay State Park Campground, while others report seeing herons, egrets, and even wild turkeys at various campgrounds.
What you should know
Weather variations: The coastal region experiences frequent fog and wind. "Heads up if it's hot in the valley it'll be foggy on this shore but Coos Bay is just a 10 minute drive and it can still be sunny there!" advises a camper at Sunset Bay State Park.
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly, especially in summer. "We made our reservations way in advance. I would highly recommend that if you know you're going to book as soon as possible, 6 months out if possible. We got the last yurt available for the time period we were out there," shares a visitor to William M. Tugman State Park Campground.
