They have a hot tub, heated pool, lodge, rv hook ups, tent spaces, and rental cabins. Very nice.

We’ve been here a few times. It’s aleays very relaxing. The facility is clean, there is a nice workout room, two lodges with store, pool and hot tub and mini golf. Kids enjoyed playing on the playground and walking to beach from trail.

So, the place is an RV resort. There is a pool, hot tubs, rec center, (weak) wifi, a gate with a code to go in and out, same for the bathrooms. It has been very enjoyable.
The bathrooms are so clean and spacious and they don’t feel crowded or gross. The showers are 10/10.
ScoutThe campground itself is pretty typical of Thousand Trails. There are only a few sites that are FHU, one of which we stayed in after moving from a no sewer site after a few days. There are, however, grey water disposals throughout the park. When we were there, they were unusable because the water in them wouldn't drain. The rangers advised us not to use them and to dump stuff in the toilets. The toilets near our first site were closed for maintenance, so it was a trek to dispose of grey water.
We did have someone steal a full 5 gallon gas can which was not locked up while we were there. Our neighbors had their propane tank stolen. The Rangers indicated that they do have people who walk through the park and take things, mostly bikes. Locking up things is a must. We used the pool, the hot tubs, and the main lodge showers, all of which were nice. We will definitely stay there again. The Rangers were helpful and professional. They charge $5 per package delivery if it is RV Parts or Medications.
GuideThis is one of our favorite campgrounds, very similar to Thousand Trails Pacific City. We stay three nights from June 18th through 21st, 2020, at campsite E136, the stay was free due to our Thousand Trails membership. Our site had electricity and water hook up. The site was level and easy to back in to.
Our site was very private with trees and bushes between our site and neighbors on each side. The E loop bathhouse was two spots down and up a flight of stairs. We were a couple of spaces from the dog run. The campground was at sea level and just a mile or so from Florence, Oregon, and a mile from the Oregon Dunes Recreation area. Once we entering the campground, the campground roads are all gravel, however we found the layout and map to be confusing as we got of directions down.
This is a very quiet campground, activities were minimal due to Covid-19 restrictions. We are looking forward to coming back post Covid-19 to take advantage of the closed outdoor pool, hot tub and clubhouse. The campground had clean showers, plenty of hot water and not more than a 2 minute walk from our campsite.
There are two dump stations at the exit of the campground, easy to maneuver into. My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we took a trip to Heceta Lighthouse for the day, geocached and hiked around the lighthouse.
On Sunday when we were leaving South Jetty we passed Dan and Jen Nevada, from YouTube notoriety. They were arriving at South Jetty and scoping out their site, Jen gave us their sticker and business card. Their Youtube site is https://www.youtube.com/user/flyfishnevada/videos

This campground is always a safe bet any time of the year. Pets, children and groups are very welcome at this campground with nearby lakes, sand and ocean access. Rent kayaks and canoes at the lake. Visit the rustic and historic log cabin store with a southern exposure and bask in the afternoon sun. Kids can swim in a shallow roped off area out in front of the store with ample outdoor seating. Located near the ocean, this campground is protected from the heavy winds often experienced in other coastal campgrounds. Honeyman has access and a wonderful walking trail to Cleawox lake, where the dunes literally slope right into the lake. Sandboarding is popular on the hillside of the dunes adjacent to the lake. Fishing, non-motorized boating and protection from winds are the plusses at this nearby lake to the campground. Back at the campground, there are many loops for different kids of campers. Those with ATV's, Yurt camping, RV camping and tent camping. The hiker/biker campground is very quiet and private.
The quaint town of Florence is just a few miles north with historic downtown shopping located on riverfront. Locally owned coffee shop, Siuslaw Coffee Roasters offers comfy fireside seating with a view of the river and the historic and recently restored Siuslaw Bridge, designed and engineered by the famous Conde M. McCullough. Downtown Florence offers many specialty gift shops, eateries and fine dining as well as family pizza and locally owned BJ's Ice Cream Parlor with a huge variety of salt water taffy.
Across Highway 101 from Honeyman is Wohink Lake, where motorized boats are often seen pulling water-skiers. A great place to spend the day if you have a large group or have your own motor boat. Lots of sun, swimming areas and parking make this a convenient place to spend a day.
I have found this campground to be completely reserved 6 months in advance. They always seem to have sites available if you arrive early enough. I've never been turned away if I've arrived early.

This campground is located just on the north side of the Waldport bridge. It doesn't offer beach front access, but it is right on the river. With a short walk to the beach. My only gripe is that the tent sites are right on top of each other without much privacy. I'm noticing that is expected with a lot of the KOA's. If you're not spending a lot of time at the site it's not a huge deal anyway. They offer cabins of different sizes, haven't stayed in one as yet, but plan to some day. There is also a small convenient store on site as well as nice clean, hot showers, flush toilets and laundry machines. Very family friendly and a nice scenic view of Walport and inlet.

We visited this campground for the second time this past weekend and even in late October it is a fantastic location to go on the coast!
It has tent sites, RV pads cabins and is one of the few locations where delux yurts can be rented.
W stayed in a cabin last time, but that loop is closed for construction until 2019.
This time it was the delux yurt, which sleeps up to 9 people, has it's own bathroom with toilet, sink and shower, microwave, fridge, kitchen sink,TV, DVD player and heater that will cook you out if you want it to. Outside comes with a porch, picnic bench and 4 burner gas grill. Fantastic for group rental! We had 5 adults and it was a ton of space!
The yurts are just up the hill from the lake where you can go fishing and hike the approximately 1 mile long trail.
There is also a day use area with benches and a small sandy beach.
Lover this place!

Very small, Only few spots. And some primitive cabins. Family business. They work hard to maintain it.
ScoutWe have stayed in a yurt and a cabin here with our kids and dog. It was perfect.
ScoutMy parents, my fiancé and I shared a cabin here. 1 queen bed for my folks and bunks for us. Tight quarters but all the basics are covered.

We’ve been going to this resort for 35+ years and can’t get enough. The Ryan family puts hospitality first, Friday night movie on the beach, Saturday feed the beach lunch is worth a weeks admission, a swim area kids could only dream of. What more do you need. If easy access camping or beautiful redone rustic cabins fit your bill this place will want you to come back for more.
GuideYou can walk to the dunes or hike around Lake Marie. Gorgeous plants, wildlife, and amazing mushrooms in November. I met a wild turkey by the lighthouse. The campground is a mix of tent and RV sites plus cabins and yurts. There is also a separate area with deluxe yurts. AT&T signal is strong so I was able to work from home during my whole stay, even with constant zoom meetings.

This campsite is located in the north end of the Winchester Bay dunes. It is a county owned park. They have cabins, tent sites, and an RV/camper lot.
There is a sand trail that connects the campground to the dunes near Banshee Hill. Which is what makes this campsite great.
They just redid half of the campground. There RV side has bran new pavement and concert. We were the first to use our site this weekend (5/15/2020). All new hookups with power, water and sewer. The bathrooms and showers were all closed due to COVID-19.
The new sites are close together with zero grass it vegetation. It feels like you are camping in the back of a Walmart parking lot. Having said this the other half of the campground for have grass and trees with a but more space. If your plan is to spend all day riding and just need a place to camp this is a great choice.
The new fire pits are located on the concert which was a but odd and as we discovered, potentially dangerous. We had started a campfire and started preparing dinner, when we heard an explosion. The heat of the fire had caused the concert below the fire pit to explore (see photo). Concrete and large hot embers flew everywhere. And burnt large holes on our camp chairs. Fortunately we were about 10 get away getting our food. We brought this up to the maintenance staff and they just shrugged it off. Hopefully they find a way to make the other fire pits safe.
GuideThe people in the office are fantastic - that’s the pro here. The cons are a bit longer unfortunately. There are a lot of cabins and motorhome sites packed into this little place making it so you are very close to your neighbors- no privacy. The motorhome sites along the view of the bridge are very close together and our site is all gravel so that’s not very desirable either. The last unfortunate thing is that you can’t walk to a beach.
TravelerFor 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. The kitchen had an almost full sized fridge, a microwave, and a sink. The shower in the bathroom was not as nice as in the deluxe cabins elsewhere, but there was plenty of towel bars to dry all of your gear on. The small heater had a hard time heating all of the space. The large skylight had lovely star viewing when the clouds cleared. Since it was the middle of the week in February there was no noise from the surrounding ATV area, indeed, no ATVs around at all. The trail around tiny Lake Marie was well drained and not soggy, with several connections to the campground. Our yurt had views of the other yurts, try 19 for a view of the lake yet still dog friendly. The front porch did not offer any shelter from the rain.

Came here to meet up with a Facebook camping group. It was one member's favorite place and I see why! Nice level sites with water and electric. Dump station on site. The sites are private with picnic tables and fire pits. The bathrooms are very nice. Peeked inside some of the creekside cabins. Those look super cute.
The main attraction here is the South Santiam River, which in October is stunning. Would love to visit in the summer when can actually take a dip. It's a great place to come and sit and meditate, watch the birds, just relax. Love it here!
LegendGeneral: 54-site campground (plus a hiker/biker camp) that is a mix of water/electric sites, no hookup sites, cabins, yurts, and deluxe yurts.
Site Quality: Camper pads are paved but most are not very long (I don’t remember when reserving if there was a length restriction, but I did not see any large Class As and doubt they would fit in any of the sites). Site desirability varies. We were lucky with Site 43 – foliage provided some privacy, and we had a view of Lake Marie from the back of our site. Most of the sites on the inside of the loop have no separation/privacy between them.
Activities: There is a one-mile hilly trail around Lake Marie, and there is access to the dunes. We were last at this campground 30 years ago with our two young children and remember they had a great time playing in the dunes, however, if people with OHVs were out on the dunes (which is popular), it would not have been good for young children. After fire restrictions on all non-coastal campgrounds we have recently stayed at, fires were allowed, and wood sales were available from 2 p.m.– 8 p.m.
This was an overnight stay for us as we made our way down the Oregon Coast, and we enjoyed our stay.
LegendThis is one of the cleanest campgrounds we’ve been in. The grounds are manicured and cleaned constantly by the hosts. Hosts were pleasant.
This campground offers full hook up or dry camping and they also have yurts and a couple cabins. The road and sites are paved with large grassy and dirt areas to set up tents or whatnot. There is a hike around Lake Marie from the campground and you can also hike to the lighthouse and down to the beach. There is ATV use on the dunes.
Each site has picnic table, fire pit and moderate amount of privacy some more than others. Mix of sun and shade.
The bathrooms and showers were very clean with free hot water. Garbage is available as well as water spigots throughout. No recycling though. Firewood is sold via an automatic pay system at the pay kiosk pick up wood from host. No dump available. If you need anything hosts and rangers are always out and about. Would definitely stay here again! Good cell service with ATT, Verizon and TMobile
Traveler
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. Best place to stay in that area.
ScoutThis is one of our favorite pack and go campgrounds when we just need to get away from the house. It's so clean. The grounds and facilities are taken care of. The showers are awesome! There's a great spot for playing in the river, too :)
GuideAs mostly a mountain camper i have one to this wonderful place once a year early July with my kid and her friends.
Its a large sprawling campground..loops along a central entry road( which some goobers high from the dunes go way too fast). The staff are cool and the camp sites a good bit more private and large that up 101 at Beverley Beach.
Good wood and good firestarters available at the welcome center, Its a great place for kids..just a short hike to Lake Woalink..which during the day has boat/canoe/kayak/paddle board rental..its not as good as before though..they also do sand board rental as this state park has the biggest and best sandboard dune.
This is a VERY busy and noisy park but after 10 PM it quietens down..and i used to do midnight tours of the lake..were to my kids excitement we found turtles and salamanders in the flash light beam. A great park for young families
ScoutSpent the first weekend in June here with a bunch of parents and kids. We had a site near the end of F loop right near a playground that was great for younger kids and had a sandy patch for ball games for the older ones. It was right up against the dunes with a trail to get out onto them, very steep in some parts of course. An easy walk to the lake for fishing, swimming, boat rental and sandboard rental if needed. Nice trails throughout if you want to go for a run and a natural loop through the campground for skateboarding and biking for kids of all ages. All in all a great family campground especially if you're coming from Eugene, which is about an hour and twenty minutes away. The ocean is a pretty long hike through the dunes, but the South Jetty area is a short drive away if you want to spend some time at the beach. Honeyman is typically packed in the summer, so not the place for peace and quiet, but my only real significant criticism is the fact that there are no lifeguards in the swimming area and it's just too busy and crowded to not have that, especially with a raft that is quite a ways from shore and can be tempting for inadequate swimmers. I personally observed three young kids almost get into trouble heading out there, turning around when they realized it was too far, and almost not making it back. The State Park system is courting disaster, but just make sure you closely supervise young kids and poor swimmers and you'll have a great time.
TravelerHoneyman is a BIG campground. Sites are very close together and there are RVs and ATVs and road whales and dogs and kids everywhere. It's more like a change of scene than a place to get away from it all. It's not on the beach, but the beach is a short drive away. There are lots of sand dunes and a couple lakes. It's not quiet. If you don't mind the sound of dune buggies and barking dogs and generators and kids while you camp, you'll be fine. The nature activities offered for kids by the park rangers are the best part, in my opinion. You and your kids can learn a lot about the flora and fauna and the local area. It's kind of like scout camp, but with a bunch of people you don't know. The yurts are nice, and they fill up fast. I like that there are ADA accessible facilities and clean bathrooms.
LegendRanger review: LEDlenser MH2 headlamp at Jesse M. Honeyman State park, Or.
Honeyman State park is located approximately 5 miles south of Florence off Hwy 101.
Campground review
This state park is a giant campground with around 400 sites. It has a good layout, although some of the spots are right on top of each other not allowing for much privacy. I suggest finding a spot on the outer circle. They are usually more private and have more character.
Honeyman is super family friendly with lots of kids running around having fun and taking advantage of the bicycle rentals. It is located on Cleewox lake so they also offer canoe, kayak and pedal boat rentals. It is also a short 1 mile paved ADA certified trail to Woahink lake and day use area. Good for fishing and scuba diving.
I have stayed at this park numerous times and it does fill up quickly. Expect all kinds of campers from party campers, to family campers to the avid. Their facilities are newer and usually cleaned twice daily. They have hot showers and flush toilets, as well as water bibs and dish water troughs.
This is also a popular spot for dune buggys, so expect some motor noise and gearheads whooping it up. Lots to do and plenty of places to just hangout or swim by the lake.
Product Review
As a ranger for the DYRT I get to test products in the field from time to time. This is my review of the @LEDlenser MH2 headlamp.
I received this product nicely packaged with the AAA batteries included! Out of the box it is very easy to use, with one button operation. It also has a swivel bezel for zooming the light in and back out for a wider view. The bezel also easily tilts up and down for more control.
This unit has a high beam, low beam and s.o.s. functions. Both in standard white and red light. The toggle between the modes is easy and very user friendly.
If I had to pick one thing I don't like, is it is super bright. That would be very helpful in the deep woods when backpacking, but is a bit much for family campouts.
A great product all in all and I highly recommend.
TravelerJessie M. Honeyman is an Oregon State Park just a few miles south of Florence, Or.
We traveled in on a Wednesday at the beginning of June with friends, kids, and a canoe. We stayed through Saturday night and moved on up the coast to another site just outside of Newport. The park has a lot going for it -- especially if you have kids -- but it also has some deal-breaker drawbacks. As with a lot of other busy state parks, your experience will depend a lot on when you go, what site you book, and who happens to show up as your neighbors.
Pros: • Very close proximity to Lake Cleawox and the boat house / facilities there. You don't leave the park to go from the camp sites to the lake. At the boat house, you can rent paddle boats ($7 / 30 mins, $10 / hr), canoes, or kayaks. You can also rent sandboards and zoom down the dunes on the far side of the rental facility. The setup is awesome and looks like an idyllic version of everyone's summer camp - real or imagined. • Woahnik Lake, a much larger lake than Cleawox, is right across the street and offers a lot of options for more swimming, boating, and paddling. We saw two large groups of scuba divers while canoeing around the lake. • Sand dune access. You can literally ride an ATV or quad from your camping site to the dunes, because the camp is adjacent to the Oregon sand dunes. • Hot showers. • Super friendly rangers and staff. • Large play structure in the sand for kids. Same thing you'd find in a city, but it's a nice option. • Yurts. We stayed in #316. Staying in the yurts is a great all-weather option.
Cons: • Campsites - tents, yurts, RVs - are crammed in. Some areas don't have good tree coverage (the closer you get to the dunes), and are wide open. You can see and hear your neighbors, so good luck. • ATVs and quads. Because the site backs up to the dunes, it's ground zero for ATVs and quads. You hear them running at peak times on the weekend. The site attracts a lot of giant diesel trucks that idle through the camp site hauling their trailers, so it feels like you've set up camp right next to a trucker super highway.
Given how popular the spot is, the wildlife are very used to people, and you'll be marauded by cunning squirrels and chipmunks. Don't leave food out for a hot minute.
Don't stay in any site off the main branch to all the camping loops. Accessible yurt #404 is probably the best site in the entire campground.
LegendWe came here on a Saturday in early May and easily found a spot for the night with no reservations. Walk up sites are available for that night only due to online reservations.
This is a huge campground with many loops, and it is easy to get lost. It's beautiful and the sites are of varying privacy and length. Some sites are more level than others. Our spot, #162, was long enough for our 26ft motorhome and was level.
This campground appears to be popular with large families and groups who come here to get away for the weekend and let their kids run wild. Kids on scooters, bikes, skateboards, you name it, all running up and down the paths and through empty campsites having a blast. Also, though we picked a loop away from the dunes, we heard plenty of ATVs riding all over through the campground.
Beautiful place but I think it must be nicer and more peaceful mid week.
There is a dump station on the way out, as well as trash and recycling bins, and a separate bin for glass recycling and one for propane canister recycling. There are showers but we did not use them here.
Decent but slow cell service. We had to run our cell booster to download photos and to stream movies.
Lots of shade so if you rely on solar power you may want to get a site with power.
