The Best Camping Near Coos Bay, Oregon

This is the best RV resort that I’ve been to. This is what got me into RV camping. 

Best 

A gorgeous area - the RV section was packed, but there were small-ish and not super private tent sites leading up to and right on a tiny bluff directly overlooking a lovely beach.  If the point is to be right off the water, this is it.  Plus, the tent sites are nicely set off from the RV section.  Very family friendly with some bays and cliffs to explore.  Crowded but professional (i.e. not overrun).

Closest to the Ocean

Staff went above and beyond to get us and our pups a place to stay during COVID19 when all state parks require 24hrs notice and no walk-ins. They have full-hook up RV spaces, tent camping on the beach, and a lot next door for tents as well which is where we stayed in our truck camper. Super clean and spacious bathrooms and showers. Security on site. Water at every site. Very quiet. We could hear the waves from our site. Short walk to the Ocean...you’re on Bastendorff Beach...great for surfing and long walks with the pups. 

Beautiful respite on the Beach

I think this place was great! Super friendly and helpful staff.  Short walk to the beautiful dog friendly beach (just over the sand dunes - two minutes).  They have crab nets you can borrow and a crab cleaning and cooking station to use.  There’s even a little gym here!  If you’re tent camping they have a few amazing tent sites right on the beach and a little beach bungalow for rent oceanfront too!  I highly recommend this place for your Oregon coast stay.  

Loved It! Lulled to sleep by the ocean waves

This campsite is not at all ocean side. If you want cramped rv camping with zero tree coverage this is what you’ll get. Tent sites look nice but this is very much city camping. 

Awful

This was our second time to stay here.  We stayed in October of 2021, we liked it enough to come back and have our kids and their families meet us here.

  

The beach is a very short walk and it is a very nice beach.  At low tide you can walk out to the tide pools where you can see various marine life including starfish.

  

The park will lend you crab traps, go down to Charleston piers and catch your supper.  They also have a great cleaning and cooking station.

  

On our latest visit our children and grand children stayed in the cottages they have on site.

  

Make sure and visit Shore Acres State Park just south of the RV park.  When there in October the storms had the waves crashing sixty feet over the rocks and the botanical gardens are amazing.

Right on the beach.

I love this area. I’ve been here twice and got the same tent site each time. 

Beautiful location

**General:** A mix of RV and tent sites, and tiny houses. 

  

**Site Quality:** We had called ahead of time to determine the best site to reserve. We travel in a camper van and generally do not like RV park layouts so inquired about the tent sites. We were told the only tent site that could accommodate our van was T9 and we were happy with it (although we could easily have fit in Site T10). However, the sand was very deep, and we tried several times to back in without success. We were able to park parallel on a mix of grass/sand as the site is very generous in size. All RV sites have gravel drives and are close together with no privacy as is typical of RV parks.

  

**Bath/Shower house:** Restrooms have two stalls and two sinks and were clean. Since most of the campers were in RVs, I rarely saw anyone in the bathroom. The showers are roomy and have nice hot water. 

  

**Activities/Amenities:** The best thing about this campground’s location is the mile-long wide and flat beach! There is a small fitness center, but I prefer nature’s playground. Small store and laundry room ($2 for wash/$2 to dry). Amenities include: a crab cooking station, a small fitness room, a meeting yurt with a kitchen, and a large selection of games. It is available to reserve for group functions and open to all campers if not reserved. Both the fitness center and yurt are only open during business/office hours (usually around 8-5). There is a $10/day “resort” charge, the first time I have encountered this at a campground. 

  

For us, it was a five-star stay, mainly because of the site we were in; what we sacrificed in privacy (many people walking by, right across from beach access), was made up by both the view and the easy access to the beach. The sunsets were fantastic! It was a bit of a splurge (nearly $200 for three nights in a non-hookup site) so we would likely only stay here again if we could get the same site or Site T10.

Oceanfront camping!

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.
