"Sweet front desk Laurie welcomed us from an office stocked with anything we would need/want. She was surprised when we only bought 1 local IPA and graham crackers."
"Its some 50 acres and the tent campsites reside away from the RV area a little ways. Enough to seem secluded. They situated the place perfectly. My words cannot describe the elegance."
$22 - $79 / night
"Clean facilities with running water and hot showers. Make sure to bring weather appropriate clothing. It's always on the cooler/ chilly and windy side here."
"Most sites level and all had fire pits and picnic tables.
Dump station was closed when we were there."
"Wile road tripping to oregon from Los Angeles, we stopped here for the night. Relatively affordable, very clean, and not busy (at least while we were there)."
"It has great access to the river and a nice boat ramp. It’s a little small for big trailers( I did see some trailers tho) but perfect for tents."
"This little RV park is a hidden Gem tucked along the Rogue River. The campground is kept up very nicely, with beautiful trees and lush greenery around."
"Secret Camp is a small, quiet campground in a forest, close to the River. Parking spots are large and shaded."
"Laundry facilities is you need them and a cute camp store if you forgot something."
"Very short walk to beach or jetty. Borders small airport where you can watch planes land or take off, but we only saw one over 2 days. Very quiet. Only complaint is internet is down most the time."
$24 - $66 / night
"On the southern Oregon coast. Large trees and nice campsites. Some with spectacular views of the rugged coast. Water and electric hookups at most. Clean restrooms and showers. A little highway noise."
"Hiker/Biker camp area is fenced off and a little separated from the rest of camp which is nice."
"Great for Salmon and a secluded spot . The sites are large with good tree coverage . No hookups but only $20 a day and $10 for seniors and access pass holders."
"It’s right on the river and there’s a great little bike path around the whole campground. There are usually elk grazing on the front lawn and the campsite hosts are very nice!"
"Tent site was a little small, but small fences have been installed to create privacy between campers and the size didn’t bother us. Site had a picnic table and fire pit."
"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."
$6 / night
"This is a very small campground surrounded by lush trees and a flowing creek. Rock Creek is located right near the coast of Oregon, making it easy to wander during the day before returning to camp."
"Located directly on rock creek, the sound of the river lulled me to sleep. It was very quiet, and very far out of the way. There is a lovely trailhead very close to the campground."
"After a beautiful ride up the coast, we turned inland to find heat & Agness. We first looked for Illahe (closed) then found this. Great spot, excellent shade, and nice restroom."
"This campground is near the Rouge River. The campsite is a little small, but just down the road is the boat launch with bathrooms, garbage bins, and recycle bins."
GuideThis review is for the open camping.
I arrived and after looking around for a long while for someone, I was given a quick pointing out of where everything generally was. A map or better signage is sorely needed.
The grounds were peaceful. There are open-air showers, a community kitchen, sauna and swimming hole. The mini A-frames and dome look very cool, even from a distance.
I tried out the sauna. It didn’t seem to be working for over 40 minutes. No one was around to troubleshoot. It just started working eventually on its own and was nice, relaxing.
TravelerGreat place to camp, go for a walk with whole family. Collect rocks and driftwood. Access to public bathrooms, rv area and dining areas.
GuideGood spot has almost everything. From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees
GuideFirst time staying at a KOA and we were pleasantly surprised. Employees were super friendly and the campground was wooded and beautiful. Tent site was a little small, but small fences have been installed to create privacy between campers and the size didn’t bother us. Site had a picnic table and fire pit. Pool, hot tub, kart rentals for kids… our daughter loved it. Clean bathrooms and showers and even a dishwashing station behind the main building. Firewood sold for $10/bundle and they deliver it to your site for you. Pet friendly. Loved it!
LegendBullards Beach State Park, just north of Bandon, OR, is another massive RV parking lot. And if that is the kind of camping you do, you'll love it. If you tent camp, probably not so much.
But...a pod of Orca Whales lives year round in the Bandon Bay which is walkable out of the camp which makes the reality of the park irrelevant. A POD OF ORCAS!
There are actually three known pods but two of them migrate for a big part of the year. However, the third has learned that the bay is a great place to feed. The odds aren't always in your favor to see them so close in the bay (one local told me he hadn't seen them in four years), but sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you get into a staring contest with a California Grey Seal while sitting near the lighthouse on a melancholy afternoon, and when he or she decided the game is up you turn around and see five of the biggest fins you've ever seen. You may think to yourself, "Wow, those are some big f@#king dolphins!" before you realize what you are seeing.
The campground has all the amenities. Hiker/Biker sites have REI sponsored storage boxes with USB charging station. There are hot showers, and a Welcome Yurt with donation based hot coffee and tea until 8pm.
Wildlife is abundant. Despite it's location near town there are regular bear sightings. Birds flit about, and some of those birds may be gnats and mosquitos that have just taken steroids. There are also red ants, which considering how sandy the ground is are good to look for before pitching camp.
The Hiker/Biker area has shared fire pits and picnic tables, shade cover and no established sites. The main campground area is big, and some loops are literally just fields. Stick to the outside of a loop if you want a tree in your site.
The campground is fine. It's fine. It will be fine. And none of that matters because you could see a whale. The opportunity to see a whale takes this from a three star to a 4 star. Plus nearby Bandon has a great coffeeshop, some cool art, and the beginning of the glorious Oregon Coast starts getting even bigger, and even beautiful-er.
Amenities include:
*Pro-Tip 1: Bandon Coffee has good coffee, and a great staff who will make you feel at home.
**Pro-Tip 2: There is a lighthouse out by the beach/dunes. It looks like a lighthouse.
***Pro-Tip 3: Plan to spend some time wandering the coast on the Bandon side of the bay. That first three miles of coastline is beautiful and has numerous spots to have a picnic lunch.
TravelerI've never been to land more beautiful than this place - as soon as I arrived, I felt a sense of arriving home. A place to completely relax. There are 2 areas with river access, a shallow area and a deep swimming hole, with the option to float down some mild (and fun!) rapids. The children running around were so happy here - it feels like a safe place to be, tucked away in a private area of Cave Junction. During my stay, there were beautiful fresh flowers that decorated all the main areas. There are 2 shower houses, one which has an incredible view of the river. The shower water was hot and refreshing, it was so special to know the water came directly from the river. It felt so healing. The communal kitchen was perfect for prepping breakfast, lunch, and dinner - and the staff was sanitizing all the commonly touched areas. The composting toilets were a cool touch knowing that our 'waste' would soon become a gardening resource again one day. The tea house was a perfect place to catch some shade on hot sunny days. The women's gathering they host here is also so inspiring! I imagine many women pass through this place feeling grounded and nourished afterward. Highly recommend!
GuideNice campground that’s within walking distance to the beach. Not a lot of private sites but there are a few. Several sights with hookups for trailers and sites are good sized. We were there in early September and the campground was fairly quiet. No campfires because of fire restrictions then but you can use a portable propane powered fire pit.
ScoutThis is a beautiful place to enjoy the scenery. It's beautiful and quiet. Clean facilities with running water and hot showers. Make sure to bring weather appropriate clothing. It's always on the cooler/ chilly and windy side here.
LegendNice campground with good privacy in most spots. Came here without reservations and there was only one spot available which we didn’t fit in in our 26ft Class C. Most sites level and all had fire pits and picnic tables.
Dump station was closed when we were there.
There are dumpsters and mixed recycling bin (no glass), bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers. The camp host on site was helpful and directed us to other campgrounds in the area.
$29/night for partial hookup. Cabins are $51/ night, $61 with pet
Hiker/ biker camp, group camping, and horse camping here also.
Lighthouse is up the road which was extremely windy but campground wasn’t as windy as the trees block a bulk of it.
Cell service was sketchy, some service but in and out and not strong with ATT and Verizon but no TMobile.
