  Loved It! Lulled to sleep by the ocean waves

  I think this place was great! Super friendly and helpful staff. Short walk to the beautiful dog friendly beach (just over the sand dunes - two minutes). They have crab nets you can borrow and a crab cleaning and cooking station to use. There’s even a little gym here! If you’re tent camping they have a few amazing tent sites right on the beach and a little beach bungalow for rent oceanfront too! I highly recommend this place for your Oregon coast stay.

  Closest to the Ocean

  A gorgeous area - the RV section was packed, but there were small-ish and not super private tent sites leading up to and right on a tiny bluff directly overlooking a lovely beach.  If the point is to be right off the water, this is it.  Plus, the tent sites are nicely set off from the RV section.  Very family friendly with some bays and cliffs to explore.  Crowded but professional (i.e. not overrun).

  Beautiful location

  I love this area. I’ve been here twice and got the same tent site each time.

  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.

  Awful

  This campsite is not at all ocean side. If you want cramped rv camping with zero tree coverage this is what you’ll get. Tent sites look nice but this is very much city camping.

  Bullards Beach State Park Campground

  Love this campground

  Bullard is a must see if you are on the Oregon Coast. The campground is full of overgrown greenery, it has many RV, Tent sites and a couple Yurts. The best part about Bullards State Park is the Beach and the lighthouse. The beach is awesome for beach combing with clam fossils, agates and lots of drift wood. The tide can be a little crazy, so keep an eye out.

  Horsfall Campground

  Great place for the sand dunes.

  We did a last minute camping trip and most places were full. We mostly tent camp. There was very little grass and only a couple of tents. It was a parking lot with numbers for your site. It was loud and no privacy. Would be a great place to camp if you had sand toys and were there to party.

  Bastendorff Beach Park

  Large campground right off the beach

  This campground seems better for RVs and cans rather than tent camping. Nice facility with playground, bathrooms, lots of amenities. Views of the beach/ocean from the playground area. There is free dispersed camping just down the road at Bastendorf beach under a small grove of trees, vault toilets only.

  Oregon Dunes KOA

  Something for everyone.

  Overall great place to have fun! However you like to camp -- from dry tent camping, to full hook ups, and even luxury private lodges. Lots of extra stuff for entertainment of all ages. And connected to Steve's ATV rental and the Dunes. Best ATV spot for sure.

  Definitely my favorite camp to date.

  LaVerne County Park

  Laverne County Park Beauty

  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. Also many tent sites.

  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.

  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.

  Sunset Bay State Park Campground

  Unimpressive Facilities

  The weekend we spent at Sunset Bay was busy with limited availability. In our group was my mother-in-law who requires ADA facilities, and a potty training toddler. All of the designated ADA sites were full. Standard sites require an extensive, uneven, walk to the restroom, a problem for those needing ADA facilities, potty trainers, and middle of the night restroom users. The only play area is across the street (there is a path that crosses under the road) it provides only horseshoe toss pits, beach volleyball nets, and a basketball hoop. We stayed in A loop which is along the road and adjacent to the ranger station/entrance. There were limited barriers resulting in loud road noise, car lights at all hours, and a lot of wind. Tent sites, yurts, motor home sites, and dedicated hiker/biker sites are available, though tent sites are not level. Included in the cost of the camping fee is entrance to the botanical gardens with your vehicle permit, guided hikes to the tide pools, and educational events, such as animal lectures, in the amphitheater.

  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.

  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.

  Great Place

  A great place, very close to the ocean and very beautiful. Tent sites are $19 and pretty close together and small. We only stayed for one night and we got there when it was dark. Very busy for the end of November. Super rainy but that’s not the camps fault. Showers were hot and the bathrooms were nicely kept 😎

  LaVerne County Park

  Quiet, with less of river access.

  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. There is a fountain of potable water at every site, decent bathrooms, and even hot showers. The sites were shady, some were very close to the "main road" which really doesn't get much traffic.

  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.

  Bastendorff Beach Park

  Rundown facilities, no privacy

  We stayed at Bastendorff Campground in August 2024 in tent site 15.  Going in, I didn't know much about the campground besides it's close to Charleston and Coos Bay and it has showers.  It turns out that all but one of the showers was out of order.  The one shower that worked was weak but the temperature didn't fluctuate so it was ok.  Overall I was disappointed I didn't make our reservation at Sunset Bay State Park.

  Pros:

  -Close to nice beaches like Bastendorff and Sunset Bay.

  -I got cell reception at our campsite.

  -The bathrooms and the one shower were kept clean.

  -There is a playground and an open field with a view of the ocean.

  -Not many insects in the park; no mosquitoes.

  Cons:

  -The bushes between the campsites are small and thin and there aren't many trees, so there's no privacy and not enough trees to hang a hammock.

  -The loop with the tent sites is right next to Beach Bound RV Park where you may hear the serene sounds of a backhoe scraping up rocks, truck engines, or guys cutting logs with chainsaws.

  -The men's bathrooms: the doors on the stalls don't lock and there are no (working) hand dryers or paper towels.

  -Most of the showers were out of order.

  -There are no gray water disposal drains like I've used at other campgrounds to wash dishes.

  -There is a foghorn nearby that woke me up one foggy morning.

  -There was trash in the bushes at our site as well as small bits of litter throughout the campground.

  -The tent sites are just sandy dirt so when it rained everything got muddy.

  -There is no trail from the park to Bastendorff Beach; the beach is a short drive down the road.

  -The locals: while we were there in August someone nearby kept lighting off mortar fireworks around 10:00 -10:30 pm, and one night someone drove by honking their car horn.

  Beautiful respite on the Beach

  Staff went above and beyond to get us and our pups a place to stay during COVID19 when all state parks require 24hrs notice and no walk-ins. They have full-hook up RV spaces, tent camping on the beach, and a lot next door for tents as well which is where we stayed in our truck camper. Super clean and spacious bathrooms and showers. Security on site. Water at every site. Very quiet. We could hear the waves from our site. Short walk to the Ocean...you’re on Bastendorff Beach...great for surfing and long walks with the pups.

  Sunset Bay State Park Campground

  Classy State Park

  There is a golf course right next door. Well-curated campground. Tent camping available here, but we stayed in a yurt. Yurts do not have much greenery for privacy, but you have walls, so I suppose that makes up for it.

  Inside the yurt is a heater, a small table, a bunk bed, and a futon. Fire pit around the side. Hot showers and potable water everywhere. Camp hosts and staff were pleasant.

  Short walk to a gorgeous beach and miles of hiking trails! Caution: dogs not allowed in some nearby parks.

  Oceanfront camping!

  General: A mix of RV and tent sites, and tiny houses. 

  Site Quality: We had called ahead of time to determine the best site to reserve. We travel in a camper van and generally do not like RV park layouts so inquired about the tent sites. We were told the only tent site that could accommodate our van was T9 and we were happy with it (although we could easily have fit in Site T10). However, the sand was very deep, and we tried several times to back in without success. We were able to park parallel on a mix of grass/sand as the site is very generous in size. All RV sites have gravel drives and are close together with no privacy as is typical of RV parks.

  Bath/Shower house: Restrooms have two stalls and two sinks and were clean. Since most of the campers were in RVs, I rarely saw anyone in the bathroom. The showers are roomy and have nice hot water. 

  Activities/Amenities: The best thing about this campground’s location is the mile-long wide and flat beach! There is a small fitness center, but I prefer nature’s playground. Small store and laundry room ($2 for wash/$2 to dry). Amenities include: a crab cooking station, a small fitness room, a meeting yurt with a kitchen, and a large selection of games. It is available to reserve for group functions and open to all campers if not reserved. Both the fitness center and yurt are only open during business/office hours (usually around 8-5). There is a $10/day “resort” charge, the first time I have encountered this at a campground. 

  For us, it was a five-star stay, mainly because of the site we were in; what we sacrificed in privacy (many people walking by, right across from beach access), was made up by both the view and the easy access to the beach. The sunsets were fantastic! It was a bit of a splurge (nearly $200 for three nights in a non-hookup site) so we would likely only stay here again if we could get the same site or Site T10.

  Bandon-Port Orford KOA

  Another good KOA

  Plenty of tent/RV sites as per KOA fashion. They offer deluxe tent sites with water/electric. Fairly cheap for Tenters like myself. The campground itself is nice with tall mossy trees characteristic of the area. Pool and hot tub are also available for guests. Camp store is well stocked. They offer breakfast for $8 Sat and Sunday. Camp store also sells icecream. Laundry and showers are clean and the common area has a pool table and Jukebox. Port Orford is down the road for most any need.

  Boice-Cope Campground

  Can't wait to go back!

  This place was very popular with RV campers, but there are definitely tent sites too. We ended up staying an extra night even, we just did not want to leave. Showers, flush toilets, gorgeous views of Floras Lake, and the beach. The walk to the beach was a bit long, but it wasn't hard, and still lots of fun. The kids had fun splashing around in the fresh water Floras Lake on the way back from the actual beach.

  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.
