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.
Description
Bullards Beach is a large, family-oriented park located at the mouth of the Coquille River, two miles north of Bandon. The campground is nestled among shore pines and protected from strong ocean breezes. Visitors can enjoy strolling on the beach, riding horses, exploring a lighthouse and excellent fishing and crabbing in the river.
Horse Play Equestrians will enjoy the park's horse camp and access to 11 miles of trails and four miles of beach and dunes. Sites feature double or quadruple corrals.
Hiking and Biking A mostly paved path to the beach begins near the campground registration booth. The path weaves for just over a mile through the open, grassy fields and lowland forest to the sandy dunes. Enjoy views of the Coquille River and Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge on the opposite bank.
Explore 4.5 miles of beach at the end of Bullards Beach Road. Bring your mountain bike to ride the hard-packed sand along the edge of the surf, or just enjoy a stroll along the ocean shore.
A refurbished hiker/biker camp popular with those hiking the Oregon Coast Trail offers storage lockers with solar powered USB charging ports.
