7 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several Oregon state parks around Siuslaw National Forest provide glamping accommodations through their modern yurts. Sunset Bay State Park, William M. Tugman State Park, and Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park all feature yurts with comfortable sleeping arrangements, electricity, heating, and lockable doors. "The campground sits on a very well maintained property," noted one visitor about Tugman, where both standard and pet-friendly yurts are available. These climate-controlled structures offer a perfect blend of outdoor adventure and indoor comfort, with many positioned to maximize privacy through strategic vegetation placement and site layout. Bullards Beach State Park also maintains yurts with similar amenities, located a short distance from coastal attractions.
Umpqua Lighthouse State Park stands out with year-round yurt availability and proximity to recreational areas. Guests can explore nearby trails, beaches, and lakes while returning to comfortable accommodations each evening. One camper explained, "The yurts were awesome. We made our reservations way in advance. I would highly recommend booking as soon as possible, 6 months out if possible." Most glamping sites in the region maintain proximity to Eel Lake, Tenmile Lake, and the Oregon Dunes, offering water recreation opportunities including kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. Several parks provide equipment rentals directly on-site, eliminating the need for visitors to transport their own gear. While highway noise can occasionally be heard at some locations, the strategic placement of most glamping accommodations minimizes this disturbance.
"Much larger than the rustic yurts available in other Oregon State parks, the deluxe yurt had acres of space. The kitchen had an almost full sized fridge, a microwave, and a sink."
"Hike and bike area is down a short trail near the RV spots, but still quiet. Lots of trails taking you down to a river for canoeing and kayaking. Also within walking distance of the lighthouse."
Available this weekend
from $22 - $141 / night
"The campsites closest to the highway had a tiny bit of road noise but nothing I found disturbing at all and nothing I even heard once I was inside my trailer."
"We stayed on site A33. This site was easy to back into and it was plenty big enough for our 32’ foot trailer and truck."
Available this weekend
from $26 - $88 / night
"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."
"Campsites are nicely maintained and practically on the beach with nearby hiking trails and pet friendly beaches. Campsites are pet friendly and nice sized with fire pits and picnic benches."
Available this weekend
from $22 - $83 / night
"Has a fire pit and picnic table. Full hookups. I can see this place being very busy in peak season."
"This park is well maintained and each site has a picnic table and fire pit! This park is open year round even tho the Dyrt app says it’s closed for the season. They are open year round."
"Staff was helpful and let us change sites when we arrived to a better location. Nicely stocked store and restaurant on site. Fishing and boating at your door."
"Set on Tenmile Lake in Lakeside, OR, this is a nice little park. Spaces are pretty close together and turns are tight. There are some big rigs here, so it can work for you big guys."
"Pets, children and groups are very welcome at this campground with nearby lakes, sand and ocean access. Rent kayaks and canoes at the lake."
"Sand dunes to slide down, a lake to swim in, tons and tons of kids riding around on their bikes (be careful driving!) It was nice to come here during the Heat Dome of 2021."
Available this weekend
from $24 - $89 / night
"It came with a table and firepit and was near the bathrooms/shower."
"Very nice campground close to the coast. Sits on a cliff, so it’s a bit of a walk down the main road, down/up a hill. Worth it! Sound of the ocean is magical."
from $32 / night
"It’s family and pet friendly with a well-maintained playground area for the kids and an enclosed dog park for the pets."
"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."
"Bathrooms and showers.!"
"Absolute stunning campground, clean, and the lake is gorgeous. However when we got there our neighbors were pretty loud and didn’t feel any privacy at all."
"Great place to camp, go for a walk with whole family. Collect rocks and driftwood. Access to public bathrooms, rv area and dining areas."
"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!"

TravelerLoved our stay at bullards beach state park. It’s a beautiful beach with stories about the rocks. The quant little town is supper cute with great shops & restaurants. The gals in the museum were very informative with stories of the past. Wonderful history
ScoutThis is a great spot. All the staff have been very friendly and helpful. They keep the place immaculately clean. Lots of great views with free hot showers, playgrounds, and firewood delivery. Just about anything you need right on the beach with jetty access all around.
ScoutI just accidentally found this campsite after visiting the lighthouse. It was a delightful little area very secluded and the staff was very nice. Had a great shower and a wonderful night sleep. I would stay here again.❤️
Guidedespite the rating i had absolutely no cell service with Verizon. i do not recommend this campground for tent campers, yurt neighbors were very noisy and i ended up sleeping in my car. do not recommend for solo travelers, complete SOS no service in entire campground. i wish i would have stayed at the campground up the road a little closer to town as i had service there. no wifi like it says on the front gate. bathrooms were clean, shower was nice.
ScoutThis is a very clean campground located right off the dunes. The campground has direct access to miles of sand to play in. It's quiet and run by such a wonderful family.
TravelerGreat spot with beautiful greenery and trees. Camp sites are fairly close together which means you can hear what your neighbor is doing/talking about. The other guests were considerate and mostly quiet. They had warm showers (no extra charge), but they were the type you probably want to keep your shoes on for. Not dirty, but something about them made me question being barefoot (and I rarely wear shoes anywhere). Plenty of sites open mid week in October, bring warm gear as we were in the shade all day.
TravelerWe stayed in site B31 which was right next to a trail that led to the beach that's a little more than a mile. Staff was friendly and it was the cleanest bathrooms I've seen in a state park
RangerGood rest rooms and showers. Dump station is working and included in fee for campers. Close to old town Florence for shopping / eating experience. Non-Oregon residents pay higher rates. Otherwise, concur with other more detailed prior reviews. Would stay again.
TravelerLovely campground. Walking distance to the beach, you can hear the roar of the surf all night. Spotless bathrooms and showers, friendly helpful staff. A multitude of trails. Raccoons, turkeys, foxes, and ground squirrels in abundance.
Siuslaw National Forest campgrounds sit among coastal fog zones at elevations ranging from sea level to 500 feet, creating distinct microclimates. Winter temperatures average 45°F while summer temperatures rarely exceed 70°F along the immediate coast. Highway 101 provides primary access to most camping areas with secondary forest roads connecting to more remote locations.
Fishing at freshwater lakes: Eel Lake at William M. Tugman State Park offers excellent fishing opportunities. "We really liked how roomy the campgrounds were here. Spaced and set up well. Trails to walk around in the woods," notes Wendy M. The campground provides boat launch access and moorage docks for anglers.
Beach hiking from forest trails: Tahkenitch Campground connects to scenic dune trails leading to ocean beaches. "The highlight for us was the beautiful trail to the dunes. We actually walked there twice it was so beautiful - once with the dog in the afternoon and then we went back for an incredible sunset," shares Sara R. The trail system provides a 0.75-mile forested path before opening to expansive dunes.
Lighthouse exploration: Umpqua Lighthouse State Park campers can visit the historic lighthouse with its distinctive red and white beacon. "Beautiful southern coast campsite. The Umpqua Lighthouse is lovely. Museum and tours are great. Souvenir shop is unique and staff all over the park are informative and friendly," notes Laura H.
Privacy landscaping: William M. Tugman State Park uses strategic vegetation to create secluded sites. "The campsite feels secluded for a car campground. The sites for the tent are a little walk behind the picnic bench. The site was quiet and surrounded by trees," describes Sam S. about nearby Tahkenitch Campground.
Seasonal wildlife viewing: At Bastendorff Beach Park, campers appreciate the coastal wildlife habitat. "This park is small and spaces are tight but my family and I had a blast! Caught about a dozen fish in the lake! Nice one mile trail around Lake Marie, perfect for my dog," reports Alicia and Cory S. from a nearby park.
Beach proximity: Bullards Beach State Park offers ocean access within walking distance. "Great camping location with lots of private spots with lots of trees and greenery... Close to beach and nice to walk around campgrounds with 3 camping areas," writes Jennifer C. The beach is accessible via a mile-long trail through coastal dunes.
Shower token systems: Several campgrounds near Siuslaw National Forest operate on token shower systems. At Oregon Dunes KOA, "Cons were the showers were short and they didn't open the office on time so I couldn't get more tokens," notes Marie M. Tokens typically provide 8-minute shower sessions.
Reservation requirements: Most glamping close to Siuslaw National Forest requires advance planning. "Overall great place to have fun! However you like to camp -- from dry tent camping, to full hook ups, and even luxury private lodges," explains Debra about Oregon Dunes KOA.
Weather variability: Coastal conditions can change rapidly, creating microclimates. "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!" explains Katie P. about Sunset Bay State Park.
Kid-friendly biking loops: Sunset Bay State Park offers protected cycling areas. "Lots of loops for Sam to ride her bike, trails around Eel Lake to hike (beautiful!), kayak and paddleboard rentals (didn't get a chance to do that), a dock to fish off (lots of fish to catch there), and a nice kids' playground," describes Melissa L. about William M. Tugman State Park.
Lake alternatives to ocean: Freshwater lakes provide calmer water recreation for families. "Great jumping off point for cape arago & sunset bay!" notes Hannah M. about Bastendorff Beach Park, which sits near multiple water recreation options.
Equipment rentals: Several parks offer on-site recreation gear. "It has a nice small loop with a hill that the kids loved to ride their bikes around and zoom by our site. The bathrooms were clean and because of its location, it had few cars driving through, leaving the road open for kids to do what kids do," shares John H.
Site leveling challenges: Bastendorff Beach Park requires preparation for uneven sites. "Very nice clean campground. This is an older park and wasn't designed for today's RVs. The driveways are narrow and so are the sites leaving little room for maneuvering and for the slide outs," explains Jeff M. about Sunset Bay.
Winter access considerations: Luxury glamping close to Siuslaw National Forest operates year-round. "For a small campground the deluxe yurts were huge. Much larger than the rustic yurts available in other Oregon State parks, the deluxe yurt had acres of space," notes Nancy H., adding "The large skylight had lovely star viewing when the clouds cleared."
Setup timing: Most RV parks have specific check-in windows. "Large well kept and maintained park. Convenient to restaurants, shops and markets in and near harbor. All within walking distance. Dune attractions and dune vehicle rentals nearby," explains Layton R. about Winchester Bay RV Resort.
