Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

Another huge Oregon state park campground. We were in loop H, which is the farthest loop from the entrance. These sites were closer together than the previous state park campground were we stayed, but our site was still fairly private with shrubs on one side and trees on the other. We arrived about 10 minutes after the 4pm check-in time, which was a first for us, and there was a short line to register. People also had to wait for us to back into our spot, but nobody was rude or anything. As this park is inside the Oregon Dunes National Recreation area, it was a point of entry for people to take their ORVs out and run around on the dunes. I was a bit worried that the sounds of motors revving and racing about wasn't going to stop, but it did. The last noise I heard was probably around 9pm. This park is very family oriented and kid friendly. We took our toddler to the playground, which she loved, but there were a lot of bigger kids there who were not being supervised so it was a little bit hectic. We finally had to leave to avoid our child getting bowled over by some elementary age boys who were not respecting or paying attention to other people's space. There was another family with a little guy too who left the playground shortly before us. I realize that the campground/state park can't control what ages of kids play at this playground and all kids are welcome to play there. Just be aware if you have toddler age littles, there is no separate area for smaller kids and not everyone supervises their children. This was a very nice campground and if you are a person who has ORVs, this would definitely be a great destination.

This is a great campground for families with children. Campsites are pretty small but mostly secluded. There is a lot to do in the area. It’s pretty loud during the day from the amount of families and people.

This place is close to Florence , it has nice showers and clean bathrooms, little noisy on the day time but if the noise doesn’t bother you can fully enjoy the wonders of this place.

Arrived late and was able to find our site quickly. Very quiet and relaxing.

This last camping trip was my first to Honeyman.  The campsites are pretty nice.  Large enough, and most have at least some privacy by virtue of trees and bushes .  There's a walking trail that goes to some dunes.

On the downside it was pretty noisy there.  One night I had a lot of trouble sleeping between the freeway noise and noise from huge campers, it wasn't a great situation.  Also, the bathrooms were not well maintained.  Both sinks were clogged and there was no soap.  The showers were a welcome amenity, but they too were poorly maintained.  

I would consider coming back someday, just for something different, but prefer other places, like Beverly.

Stayed in H Loop with our RV while other family was close by in G Loop. Second year coming for the big family trip. Sites are roomy and clean. Bathrooms were adequate but the showers are only push button and can’t be adjusted. Garbage dump is pretty far from our site but not a big deal. Lots of kids playing and having fun everywhere.

This is a beautiful site with a wonderful hx of craftsmanship from the 30s. If you want to avoid all the ATVs, stay off H loop.

We used Honeyman as a one night stop heading to California to get some winter sunshine. We were very familiar with the park and it is an easy drive from our home in the Seattle area. Where on our previous trip we had a site with a small river running through it in April, this site was beautiful and private, close enough but not too close to the restrooms and showers. The showers were wonderful - individual units. I would definitely book this site again if we return sometime.

The campground is nice, but everyone is crammed in tightly together, very loud. If you like camping with lots of people this may be the place for you.

No beach access but does have a small lake next to a Dune. Was very crowded since it was small and lots of folks use it.

I love coming here, our campsite was close to others but there are so many options for different campgrounds, view the pictures of the site before booking. After experiencing really disrespectful fellow campers in bigger campsites, after quiet hour we had a neighbor try to hide their generator up in the woods above our campsite, I was happily surprised to call the help desk and ask if they could come address this, and they did! The ranger was an angel, he politely told them to turn it off despite them being completely drunk and disrespectful. He then checked back 3-4 times to make sure they followed the rules. Our night would’ve been ruined if it wasn’t for him. For fire safety as well… it wasn’t okay to run a generator deep in the woods. They handled it very well. Thank you!

This is the coolest campsite on the Oregon dunes that I’ve been going to my entire life, I haven’t found one better. This place is so special, it’s often very populated but everyone always has been friendly and respects the noise level. The bathrooms always are clean and well kept with cleaners daily. The campsites are level and nice to sleep to sleep in a tent on. The dunes are in short walking distance with a lake where you can swim or rent paddle boats. Climb the sand dunes and try or watch the few people who try to surf down the sand dunes from the big dune… it’s amusing for hours! The dunes are so soft and the weather is hot enough some days in the summer to go swimming. I highly suggest this campsite!

I love Florence! Just 5 minutes away from old town for great coffee shop under the bridge and great margaritas at the travelers cove and gateway to the coast trails. This campground is great for bird, mushrooms, walks, even paddle bots at nearby cleowox lake. Rangers were helpful finding a spot for my needs: quiet tent site away from the crowd. It does get filled up on weekends with families and some sites more private than others so just ask to drive thru and pick your spot first. Yurts and hook ups available too. State park

Stayed numerous times in the hiker/biker section. Pre-COVID was $5, but price has been raised to $8. They do offer hot showers. Campground is huge. It doesn't offer close beach access. There are miles of dunes separating camp from the coast.

Stayed here again in July 2021. Camp area is clean. Potable water available right in hiker/biker section, which is separate from the car-camping area. Group fire pit and several picnic tables in this section as well.

Just a great State campground. Clean and quiet. Nice campsites.

I'm a solo camper, but if I was going with family, THIS would be the place. 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. The weather was perfect for wading in the lake. I took my kayak out. Hiked on the dune trail and didn't see anyone. 

Unfortunately, my site backed right up to a very popular path to the bathroom and had kids riding their bikes up and down, up and down, up and down. I didn't feel like I had any privacy. I even had a little girl come into my campsite and ask if I had kids. 

I did enjoy hanging out at the lake all day and watching everyone play in the lake and snowboard(?) down the sand dunes.

Site was really big. Sites had privacy and weren’t super close together. Lots of old growth trees and the roads through the campground and campsites were paved. Bathhouse was really clean and had ADA stalls. Water pressure was decent it just took a couple minutes to get hot and you had to keep pushing the button to make the water keep running. My site had a paved path right to the bathhouse. Neighbors were pretty quiet. From my site you can hear traffic noise from highway 101 since it ran parallel to the road but it was pretty quiet at night. Loved the nearby lakes. Nice campground to walk through. Really shaded.

I had a pretty sweet creekside corner lot. Meaning only one neighbor and these people were loud AF. I said something and the girl sent her dude to confront me and I felt very awkward after that. They proceeded to talk loudly at me and to me for the two days I was there. I just ignored them.

Otherwise the campsite itself was muddy and all my stuff got extra dirty but oh well right. Firewood is only available for a few hours 3-7 pm I believe so plan ahead. Being June the mosquitos enjoyed my blood. The two types of repellent I brought failed me. Day trips to the old town for coffee and to see the sites. Day trip to the dunes. It was crazy windy but beautiful. Lots of water and dunes to play on.

That being said the campground is noisy with ATV noise.

 Parents walk around drinking beer and getting hammered while their kids take off and run around the camp screaming. This might be the atmosphere some people look for, but not me. I asked the Ranger stationed there about the drinking and she said" It is allowed to carry alcohol around the campgrounds and drink. If they get aggressive you have the right to stand your ground in your campsite." I asked her what that meant and at first she shrugged as if to suggest it was something she could not directly tell me to do then back tracked and said call the police department. I have worked as a caregiver and dsp for 20 years I wont bring people back to a camp with an open bar/daycare atmosphere. It is sad to see our state campgrounds turn in to glamper keg parties.

Honeyman is a great campground.  It is quite large with at least half a dozen loops of campsites.  The sites include everything from basic campsite up to yurts.

There is a great playground near the center of camp and the nearby day use area has dune access for climbing and playing as well as a small lake.

Pre-pandemic it was possible to rent kayaks and paddleboats to use on the lake.  I don't know if that has opened back up yet or not.

We have been many times and look forward to another trip there later this year.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. My campsite was clean, spacious, and honestly in a pretty sweet spot. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay because my family and I most certainly are. Lot's of trails, there's fishing, showers, also their pet friendly.

We 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.

Traditional state park with everything you need. The large forest filled campsites feel private and there’s a number of very nice walks right from camp. The water was gorgeous. The day use park and campground are both well kept. Not many campers here in March. It’s a short drive to Florence from here, but not walking distance.

BUT I LOVED IT! I don’t know why I thought I wouldn’t like this campground, but it proved me wrong. Picnic table and fire pit. Bathrooms were super close. It’s a huge campground so it took us a minute to pick a spot because there were so many. Would recommend and would come back.

We stayed here at the group site and it was great—huge field, winding paths through heavy forest to arrive at a beautiful, sunny lake. We’ve been visiting Honeyman for years in all seasons and it is almost always sunny, even when it’s rainy or gloomy everywhere else in the surrounding parts of Oregon. It’s our little secret banana belt.

If you like fluorescent lights all night from the rv next door... If you like loud parties, this is the campground for you!

1 star for the dunes. 1 Star for the cleanliness.

But one off if you come during dune buggy time.

Although it looks really fun. It’s loud. And Seriously. How can that be good for habitat?

This is a very large (160 spot) campground with RV hookup and tent sites. There’s a great day use area as well. Bathrooms are clean and showers are available. Great place to stay. Just read all the other reviews.

Had a full hookup (including sewage) and wish we had stayed there a few more days. It was perfect!!

There's a lot of construction in some loops right now (08/2020), but the park is beautiful. Access to Woahink and Cleawox lakes and a beautiful, mossy forest makes this a great park on its own. Access to the nearby Oregon dunes is restricted in the spring and summer, but direct the rest of the year. Note to pet owners: we spotted a rough-skinned newt working its way through our site - they are poisonous if licked or eaten! Be careful what site you book if tent camping - not all sites are large enough.

Huge camp with a lot of variety of spots for all campers. It was clean and very family oriented. Great access to the lake and the dunes and close to town. No access to the beach. Over half the camp was closed and appeared to be in the midst of a remodel. Only complaint is that they had the bathrooms closed due to Covid- they need to ensure those can remain open with appropriate sanitation.

I recently spent two days at Honeyman State Park near Florence, Oregon. The first site I had I could not back into. I’m new at this so that was a factor. I talked to a ranger who found another spot for me. I really appreciated the help I received. Because it was on the coast, it was cool and windy. Park was clean, there were loops closed because of the virus but restrooms were open and clean. I’m not sure I would stay at this state park again mainly because of the surroundings....mostly dunes; but at least I got to visit.
