Best Campgrounds near Powers, OR

Sites close together. Charge for use showers on a timer. Laundry room locked when host not present. There is a pond between camp grounds and the Pacific big enough to kayak .

Getting here was pretty easy. The road winds up the mountain, a bit nerve wracking on the narrow parts but overall quite an easy drive up. A couple bumps here and there but not bad. No issues for the Promaster. Great views from a couple of spots, super quiet.

I camped one night right off the water. Quiet and clean. I slept great. Had 1 bar of att. Google maps took me right to it

At least 3 spots near or right off the road. Good road. Very windy. Secluded.

Awesome little campground in the thick of the forest that backs up to the Elk River. The drive there is a narrow, winding road along the Elk River, lush green ferns and trees, and over a dozen small waterfalls. The small campground is free to campers and managed by the United States Forest Service. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are vault toilets. The campsites are accessible by vehicle, making it perfect for truck camping or tent camping. There is no cell phone reception or nearby services.

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. The host is a nice older man who was very accommodating. We got he Wifi code and was able to stream our Netflix which was nice because we were rained in. The park is also close to the town with many restaurants and trails close by.

Nice area lots of privacy clean

Long term stays only

I needed to spend a couple of days on business in Coos Bay and the Sun Outdoors site turned out to be very convenient! Decent sites with good room, OK bathrooms (some were trashed with sand and the water was at best luke warm in the bathrooms. Pretty pricey to stay here, so when I needed to add an extra day they had plenty of spaces.

Parking area with a view good for overnight stop with rigs under 40 ft. There's a sign that says $20 per night. We couldn't find anyone to pay or a phone number.

In 1946, Maria Clopton Jackson, a Portland philanthropist and widow of Oregon Journal publisher Charles Samuel“Sam” Jackson, helped an organization called Save the Myrtle Woods purchase forty-two acres of land on Brummit Creek in Sitkum for a park. In 1950, the property became the Maria C. Jackson State Park. For the dedication, Jackson was chauffeured in a black limousine over miles of winding gravel road. No longer maintained, the park survives as a Myrtlewood Grove of Interest.

Visited Oct 1st, 2024 and park was closed.    You can see in pic you have to call / pre-pay at parks office in Coquille rather than any kind of local pay.

Visited Oct 1st, 2024 and park looks abandoned and overgrown more than just this summer.     You can see in the pic the entrance (road guard) is overgrown like it's been shut a long time.

Excellent customer service, we didn’t have power and it was resolved while we went out to dinner. Management came to us when we returned to verify power was on! Clean tiled restrooms Coin operated laundry Cleanest campground so far, however sites are a little tight and it’s located in the city limits so if you need fast food, restaurants or vehicle service/repair, it’s all near this location.

Camping on the beach can indeed be a hit or miss experience, but Bay Point Landing has managed to create a little slice of outdoor luxury. With its thoughtful layout and comprehensive amenities, it's a far cry from the all-too-common parking lot scenario. The indoor facilities cater to both children and adults, ensuring that everyone has something to enjoy, rain or shine. Indoor amenities included a cash less laundry mat, indoor lap pool, exercise room, Kids den, a game room and another area for adults where happy hour was held including a local musician. The outdoor amenities seem just as considerate, including a playground for the kids, a bowling green and a dog wash with soap provided. The restrooms were clean and the shower where private rooms included the shower, sink and a toilet. Some sites are right next to the bay which did have a sewer smell once a day for about 30 minutes. Not sure if it was when the tide came in or out. We were in site 37 and had good internet access. Be careful following GPS instructions. Both RV Life and google sent us in the wrong direction off the 101. Follow the instructions provided by Bay Point Landing.

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.

Nice folk working and camping. Very full campground parked in like sardines. Mainly fishing guys. Some are guides and will take you out fishing the rogue river Clean park. Reasonable rate around $40÷/- for full hookup.
