Selma, Oregon1 Review•10 SavesSam Brown Campground is centered around a large meadow that has a colorful history of the earlier miner and homesteader to the area. Trails are located throughout the area, as well, with options for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and motorcylces, including Elkhorn Mine Jeep Road. Nearby trail opportunities include: Briggs Creek Trail #1132 (the trailhead located in campground) Taylor Creek Trail #1142 Onion Way Trail #1157 Secret Way Trail #1282 Dutchy Creek Trail #1154 The size of this campground, and nature of the landscape, lends itself to large group camping, with 2 picnic shelters, and and amphitheater. The meadow is great for group activities, and is also a great place to wildlife watch: deer, elk, and a plethora of bird species frequent the area.

5. Wild Mare Horse Campground
North Bend, Oregon3 Reviews•17 Photos•10 SavesOverview
Wild Mare Horse Campground is located along the central Oregon coast, 22 miles south of Reedsport and 2 miles north of North Bend. Horse campers come here to explore the Wild Mare Horse Trail and take in captivating views of Oregon's Pacific Coast, which is just a half mile from the campground. Horse campgrounds have been designed to accommodate people who need to corral their horses. We have a limited number of these kinds of campgrounds and ask, out of courtesy and safety for you and the horses, to consider camping in a different campground if you do not have a horse.
Recreation
Equestrian campers are fond of the Wild Mare Horse Trail #4500. This trail begins under a canopy of alder and spruce, and then emerges into an open dune area that crosses down to the beach. The dunes south of Horsfall Beach Road are designated for hiking and horseback riding only, while off-road vehicle enthusiasts can roam free on the dunes north of the campground.
Natural Features
Tucked away among shore pine, Douglas fir, and huckleberry, Wild Mare is part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, which is known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering up to 500 feet above sea level. The campground is less than 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean.
Contact Info
For facility specific information, please call (541) 271-6000.
Nearby Attractions
Scenic water attractions are available in every direction from the campground. Head south to Coos Bay, west to the Pacific, and east to Horsfall Lake and Bluebill Lake.

Campsites that are not occupied after 24 hours of arrival time will be considered as a "no show" and sites will be released for others to reserve. If campers will be arriving after 24 hours of their arrival time, they are encouraged to call the ranger station at 541-271-6000 to let staff know.

Bullards Beach State Park Campground
Great spot to stay
The sites themselves aren’t very private, but we knew what we were getting when we booked the campground. It was an excellent spot to explore the Bandon area, with beautiful beaches a short drive away. We enjoyed the clean showers and restrooms.

Beautiful, Quiet Spot
Perfect for a weeknight stop when on the road, bathrooms were clean enough. Quiet on a summer weeknight. Beautiful forest.

A Good One
DrBob806 “Busy but Great” Reviewed 5/13/2024
We had fun here, great beach & scenery. Campsites are fairly close together, not a lot of privacy but it's still a good place.
Make sure you visit Face Rock SP down the road (6 miles) & Old Town Bandon.
Camp workers really keep this place clean. FHU at most of the sites ( B loop closed at this time).

Another excellent Oregon state park. Nice rangers. Proximity to beautiful Bandon.

Great, quiet coastal site
Large, but quiet campground in the forest, but moments away from the sand. The sites are private, dog friendly, and well maintained. 5 minutes from town, but feels more remote. We are definitely coming back.
As of tomorrow (10/14/23) they are closing for the off season to replace their sewer main.

Great Campsite!
This park is a delightful place, the sites are well spaced with vegetation between providing privacy. Showers were hot, the park well maintained; a great place for kids, for bikes. A 3 mile round trip walk to the beach is just the ticket after hours on the road.

Sumptuous stream and shade
A small drive out of Wallowa and a gorgeous spot with well maintained facilities. Right next to the rolling wonderful Bear Creek Trail.

Spacious sites, great hosts, safe & friendly
We stopped here for a night on our coastal trek and what a treat. We were greeted by a super friendly and informative Ranger who offered the “not to be missed” highlights and met Sheriff Deputy Beck in his rounds thru the campground. He gave the kids stickers and offered glow necklaces for safety. We had a great stopover. I’d highly recommend this beautiful Oregon state park

Family camping kinda of spot
Great spot for families. There are plenty of things to do from fishing, swimming, and even renting a "peddle" boat for a leg workout while taking your trip around the lake.

One of my favorites!
I come back here often. Campsites are quiet and mostly private with easy access to the beach. Clean bathrooms and helpful camp hosts

Bullards Beach State Park Campground
Plenty of adventures
The B spots are pretty awesome. The beach is 0.75 miles from the B campground but it's beautiful and so worth it in the end. Lots of different places to explore. Restaurants not too far. Our favorite was the station one. Great coffee shops. Everything is clean and well taken care of. Highly recommend.

Always a favorite
Big big area for recreation. Camp sites are nice and always clean. They have yurts for a decent price too. Fishing and crabbing is so much fun off the bank and jetty.

Quiet place to base out of
Being here in the summer means dead grass and heat. We used it as a base so didn't spend much time there. I've been thru in the winter and it's much prettier. Host is very nice and showers and bathrooms are clean. Highway noise, otherwise quiet. Convenient for exploring the area and visiting friends.

Neighborhood feel
This is a “family campground” so make of this what you will, but it wasn’t my favorite. Sites were very close and situated so people are constantly cutting through on their way to the bathroom, dog walks, bike rides, or whatever. Got to listen to pretty much every word my neighbors said for their entire camping trip.
Everything was nice and well kept, good programming from the rangers, nice camp hosts, but can’t get over the total lack of privacy. Also, the beach was pretty far for a place with beach in the name!
The yurts were pretty fancy looking, and it was thoughtful of them to provide small lights along shady trails - see photos for examples.
Autumn O.RangerBullards Beach State Park Campground
Perfect stop in Bandon for camping!
A huge campground, pretty populated and busy, there’s a good 50/50 of RV’s and tents. Seems people come to stay for a week or two. There’s children riding motorcycles in campground, running about, so don’t expect a relaxing camping trip but still well worth the stay. We had the prettiest campground covered in green ivy, ferns, and snapdragons. There were a lot of what looked like gopher holes in the campground and we woke up to about 5 new ones lol. We did leave out a bag of bread that was torn apart and our apples had big bite marks out of them, im assuming raccoons? That was mostly our fault for leaving them out. The space is level for a tent with barley any bugs out for July. The bathrooms were well kept and clean! Looking forward to coming back again for a longer stay.

Big Park, Very clean and well maintained
This is a great park. We stayed here for 3 nights on our Oregon Coast trip. It's clean, quiet, and well maintained. It's just a short drive into town for anything you forgot. Lots of beach options and the lighthouse is really cool!

Great State Park
Another great Oregon State Park. Lots of hiking and bike trails. Clean restrooms/ showers. Lots of space in the campsite with shade in the afternoon. Great bike ride to beach and visited light house. Quiet in the evening. No campfires allowed due to wildfire danger.
Steve C.RangerBullards Beach State Park Campground
Crowded but cozy
This place was packed. The site had a table and fire pit. Enough flat spot to put my little tent. Most everyone here had RVs and there are Yurts interspersed throughout the campground. Restrooms were large and clean.

State Park on the Oregon Coast
This state park is just north of the quaint town of Bandon. There are a wide variety of campsites, to include yurts. It is very difficult to get reservations for this popular campground (CG). We tried as soon as the reservation window opened and it was already booked. So, we didn’t actually camp here, but did a walk through to check it out for future trips. I’m glad we did because some of the sites that are listed as being able to get into with a 39’ fifth wheel would be a little challenging and you’d have to park your tow vehicle somewhere else. We felt sites 22 and 54 would be the best fit for us. There is a nice path going to the beach or you could also drive the short distance to the beach access parking area. This is a nice park, but we’d probably look somewhere else when in the area. It’s a perfect place for families.

Amazing camping experience
We spent a weekend at Lake Selmac camping in our RV with our four kiddos. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. The new Owners of the Marina were wonderful as well. The campsites were all so beautiful with all the amenities one may want. You really felt removed from the world while there BUT not to far from a grocery store that has all you need. Boat rentals are cheap and very easy to access. I highly recommend this place!

Road noise
The campground is right off a highly traveled hwy without and natural barrier to prevent road noise. The sites are pretty close to one another. Still a good place for the night.

Bullard Beach state park
State park has good location. Has beach access within the park. , camped with our small RV and even though other campers were close our site was very private. Quiet at night, Bandon is a nice town with a cute little downtown with a local cheese factory and a place that makes hard cider.
RoccoRangerBullards Beach State Park Campground
Good overnight stop on 101
We just randomly stopped here while traveling down HWY 101 in December. There was hardly anyone there and we parked almost alone, even tho the RV spaces are technically close together. It’s in the trees, there is a walking path. Dog friendly. Well kept grounds, yet the facilities were closed for covid or winter. Overall a nice place.
