Bullards Beach State Park Campground

Oregon's coast meets the Coquille River three miles north of Bandon at Bullards Beach State Park Campground, where 185 sites spread across three loops accommodate RVs up to 35 feet and tent campers. The campground sits behind a protective line of shore pines that buffer the strong ocean winds, with some loops positioned in open fields while others offer more tree cover.

Site quality varies significantly across the three loops. A-loop provides the most privacy according to multiple reviews, with sites like A-40 and A-64 earning particular praise from campers. "All sites are cleaned right after the departure by friendly camp hosts," notes Robert O.. The main campground area includes what reviewers describe as field-like loops where campers seeking shade should stick to the perimeter sites near trees.

Beach access requires either a three-quarter-mile walk along paved paths or a short drive to the day-use parking area. The trail from campsites to the beach involves some challenging terrain that makes wheelchair and stroller access difficult. Once at the coast, campers can walk six miles round-trip to the Coquille Lighthouse, with opportunities to spot the resident pod of orcas that feeds year-round in Bandon Bay. Wildlife sightings include black bears, large turkeys, and aggressive raccoons that require proper food storage.

The campground operates year-round with full hookups at most sites, though B-loop occasionally closes for maintenance. Restrooms receive consistent praise for cleanliness, and the facility includes hot showers, a welcome station with coffee and tea, and REI-sponsored storage boxes with USB charging at hiker-biker sites. Cell coverage varies by carrier, with AT&T performing better than Verizon according to several reviews. Reservations fill quickly once the booking window opens, making advance planning essential for this popular coastal destination.

Many campers appreciated the spacious, grassy sites and exceptionally clean facilities at this family-oriented campground. Guests frequently mentioned excellent beach access and ranger activities, though some noted limited privacy between sites.

Wonderful spot on the southern Oregon Coast

I camped at Bullards Beach State Park Campground in August 2026 with my daughter. We pitched our tent in site A25. I became familiar with A-Loop. I only drove through the other two loops. B-Loop looked similar with sites for tents and RVs. C-Loop looked like it is better suited for RVs.

PROS & CONS

First of all, the staff I interacted with were all wonderful. The weather was unseasonably cool, but we still enjoyed our week at the campground. The biggest draw in my opinion is that the Pacific Ocean is only a short trek away.

Camping on the outside curve of A-Loop was nice because it was relatively calm and quiet, even on the weekend. Everyone respected quiet hours at this campground, more so than at any other campground I’ve stayed at. The sites have electric hookups and a water spigot, as well as a picnic table and fire ring. Firewood is sold at the entrance to the campground for $7 per bundle. Payment is card-only. Firewood bundles can also be purchased at McKay's in Bandon. Another option is a place named Frontier Unlimited just south of Bandon on the west side of highway 101. The firewood at Frontier Unlimited is in a gravel parking lot right before the Ocean Spray Cranberries facility. Unfortunately, they were sold out when we were there in late August.

There aren’t many trees in the Bullards Beach campground, but most of the sites in A-Loop at least had bushes surrounding them. I brought a hammock, but I couldn’t use it because there was only one tree in our campsite. I couldn't even find a good s'mores stick. As I walked around A-Loop, I didn’t see any sites that had more than one sturdy tree. There may be some sites in B-Loop with more trees. C-Loop has sparse vegetation, which is why it looked better suited for RVs.

The A-Loop restroom was kept cleaner than most public restrooms I’ve ever used. Besides the outstanding cleanliness, the restrooms are typical of Oregon state park campgrounds. The main drawback of the restroom is that there are no paper towels, only inadequate hand dryers. And the faucets just had cold water, although I found one faucet that could produce lukewarm water if I was patient. Another shortcoming is that the two stalls in the men’s bathroom are cramped. The campground is huge so I expected the bathrooms to have more than two small stalls. Also, there are no hooks in the men’s bathroom. At least there is a bench and there are metal trays above the three sinks. There is however a private, spacious handicap bathroom with a large counter, sink, bench, toilet and shower. I took a shower in there and man the water was hot! It was actually a bit too hot to bear.

BEACHES

From the campground entrance, the walk to Bullards Beach is about 1.25 miles down a mostly paved path. Along the way there is a string of parking lots with picnic tables and barbeques for day use. There is even a horseshoe pit near the middle of the day use area. It costs $10 a day to park in the lots. At the end of the parking lots there is a small sand dune, and beyond that is Bullards Beach. When we crested the dune, we found that the beach was mostly deserted. That could have been due to the foggy, windy weather, but it seemed like most of the tourists congregate at Bandon Beach. Regardless of the weather, I recommend visiting the historic Coquille River Lighthouse at the south end of Bullards Beach. I saw that the B-Loop has its own path to Bullards Beach called Pearl’s Trail. I didn’t notice it until we were leaving, so I don't know what it's like.

Besides Bullards Beach and Bandon Beach, which is a short drive south, we explored Seven Devils State Recreation Site 7 miles to the north. Also, at the south end of Bandon we checked out Tish-A-Tang Beach, which is 5.5 miles from the campground. One day we drove 30 miles south to Port Orford to see the desolate Cape Blanco Lighthouse and the little beaches below it. The lighthouse is cool but the weather wasn't conducive to hanging out at the beach down below, so we skipped that. I had been out there before, but I forgot that there are no public restrooms at Cape Blanco Lighthouse. I suggest making a pitstop in Port Orford before heading out to the second-most westerly point in the contiguous United States.

SUMMARY

Bullards Beach Campground is a peaceful, clean and comfortable place to “glamp” on the rugged southern Oregon Coast. The campground is home to a few wild turkeys and an abundance of lively birds. As for mammalian wildlife, the chipmunks were ever-present, we caught glimpses of rabbits, one evening a small bat flitted by, and we encountered a family of thieving raccoons. (I learned to store our food very securely). The Pacific weather can be capricious, but on the other hand there are very few insects. There were no mosquitoes, but I saw an occasional butterfly, moth, and flying termite. I just wish there were more trees in the campground so I could relax in my hammock. What I remember about the Cape Blanco State Park Campground (31 miles to the south) is that it's in a forest of Sitka spruce trees. But I would rather camp at Bullards Beach because it’s more sheltered from the stormy weather coming off the Pacific and there are more wide-open stretches of beach close by. I look forward to staying there again.

Great Place for Everyone!

Lots of families here, but also small groups of older people and lots of seniors,too. Tons of dogs. Everyone was super respectful of the ten pm quiet time, including kids--parents made sure they were inside and quiet! Bathroom is very clean and well-maintained.

I took the walk to the Ocean Beach and WOW. Just wow. I saw pics beforehand, but it didn't do it justice. Next time I'll stay two nights so I can spend a day there in the sun and waves.

Camp Hosts were super friendly and helpful to me, a newbie, camping for the first time. They have firewood for sale on site.

The town of Bandon is close (5 min away) and they have restaurants and coffee and a cute little area to wander thru the shops.

As we continue our slow drive down the PCH, stopping at all the interesting at sights we found ourselves out of daylight and pretty damp after all the rain today.

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.

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.
