Some sites are small, but beautiful park

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.

Nice family friendly camp

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.

Honeyman State Park, Oregon

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.

Great

Great campground. Pretty busy so not much privacy so if you’re looking for seclusion this isn’t it. Really close access to the sand dunes and we rented sand boards for $10 a day and had a blast sand boarding. Really fun trip.

Special and unique landscape right in the center of Oregon Dunes. We love it here. Located close to the quant town of Florence. Lots of nearby hikes, beach access, and of course the dunes. Enjoy!

I have been camping here for 25+ years now I get to take my daughter there and we love every minute of it the lake, the dunes, bike riding scooters. The staff is great and the facilities are always clean it’s a must-see park.

Family Friendly

As 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

Convenient Glamping Spot

After camping at damp Olympic National Park campgrounds, we decided on a more southern spot last year. Honeyman has become our go to camp ground for late-summer car Camping with the kids. The weather stays sunny and warm longer than the northern regions of Oregon/Washington coast. Nice amenities including hot showers - which are a welcome convenience after spending the day playing in the dunes ( Sand cookie anyone?). The sites are relatively small but fit our two large tents and cars. The kids enjoyed roaming in the forested stretches between the camp grounds. Best of all, the dunes and lake are a short walk away.

The people make or break this place.

I camped here twice this year. Once in June in the Hiker/Biker area, and again in July in a regular site. The experiences couldn't have been more different.

Hiker/Biker is fairly segregated from the rest of camp. The access point is actually before the entry to the main campground itself. My first visit left me surprised at the beauty of the camp. It feels like it is in the wilderness despite being less than a few miles from Florence's cool Old Towne.

The trees here are big, and the ground cover lush with ferns. The trails are canopied by Rhododendrons. Nature paths lead off to Cleawox and Woahink lakes. Sand dunes abut the west side of camp. They seem endless, and otherworldly. At Cleawox Lake day use area there are paddleboats, boards and water toys for rent by the day or hour. Sand boards are available from a temporary space set up in the day use parking area. 

On my first visit the entry Ranger station was closed but the Welcome Yurt was open. Maps, advice, firewood, a lending library was available. 

Honeyman Camp is huge. When I was there in early June it made for a lovely exploration, and seemingly great spaces between campers. In late July the vibe had completely changed. Each of the several hundred spaces was occupied by a seemingly large family with 5 kids to every adult, or 25 belligerently drunk RV campers who felt the need to blast Fleetwood Mac. 

That second visit, in the main campground, made it very clear that your experience here will depend on the quality of people choosing to stay in the same park. All the amenities were the same, but despite it's size, a campsite with stereo speakers set to full boar are hard to ignore even when you're on the other side of camp. Now multiply that by several campsites per loop.

One thing of note: Each campsite is issued a set of rules, including "Quiet Hours". Unlike some other sites in which hosts ignored those rules in an attempt to avoid confrontation the hosts here were on top of it. For as obnoxious as the camp was at 9:45pm, by 10:15 it was silent, and we were able to enjoy the remains of a campfire and view of the stars in the slight clearing between trees.

Amenities include: 

  • Flush Toilets

  • Hot Showers (free and some without having to keep pushing a button!)

  • Picnic tables & Fire pits

  • Welcome yurt

  • Kids playground

  • Access to lakes and dunes (Bear sitings on the path to Woahink Lake in July)

  • Nature Trail

*Pro-Tip: Stop in Old Towne Florence and buy some fresh fish or get a coffee at the local roaster.

Nice spot for the night

Dunes are close so lots of atv peeps. Since they have trailer them out you don’t have the noise that you get at Riley or Horsfall. Overall a nice park and a good spot to set up if you want to hike, swim, paddle or ride atvs.

Good option for mid-coast camping

We were lucky to snag a site with electrical hookups here on a Friday without reservations. (there were plenty of tent only sites). This was one of few campgrounds we visited that had staff at the check-in booth; we appreciated that we were allowed to check out available sites before making a commitment (you can do this with unstaffed Oregon state park campgrounds as well). There are a lot of trees but we could still see stars at night. Our site was a little bit of a hike to the bathroom which was not too bad but there was only cold water and the hand dryers blew COLD air only (and since it was chilly at night, I would have appreciated warm air!). This campground is good if you want access to the dunes. Unfortunately, the dunes are heavily used by ATV riders. We are not ATV fans so we ended up visiting Cape Perpetua, about 45 minutes north instead.

Hike and Bike Difficult to Reach on Rainy Days

The hike and bike area is secluded and quiet, but it is also difficult to reach.  You must take a dirt trail that can be muddy and slick on rainy days. Nice clean restrooms and showers.  Campground can be loud at times from people coming for the nearby dunes. Campground has yurts.

Good family campsite

You'd have to be really careful when choosing a campsite because of the size of tent pads, etc. A newbie to camping may overlook that important detail and arrive to a site with barely space for tent, closeness of tent to firepit, etc.

The campground is pretty popular in the Coast so during peak seasons, it will get crowded.

The bathrooms are great and clean - showers are free and open all night. There is a toilet in the bathroom so it was great for families who ... multi-task (shower a kid while emptying bladders separately).

Our boys, aged 8 and 6, enjoyed the playground within the campground. The roads are paved so they were able to ride their bikes around the connected loops.

Bring a tent broom because there are pine trees everywhere! You may need to sweep before and after setting up your tent.

We tent-camped and drove an SUV.

Great amenities... maybe too many

A great choice if you’re looking for an established campground with all the amenities (flush toilets, running water, showers). Also good if you’re looking for an inexpensive place to stay while visiting the coast. However, if you are looking for the “authentic camping experience”, this is not it. Everything is paved, sites tend to be close together and it can be noisy.

Rainy Night on the 101

My sister and I were road-tripping down the 101 of WA, OR, and CA and making it up as we went. After looking through a list of Oregon campgrounds/State Parks, we settled on Honeyman since it had yurts available and it was forecasted to be a rainy night. The yurt was great and well taken care of. The campground was fairly empty and our site was private, though that was likely because we visited in late November. I would love to go back and explore the dunes and surrounding area more. Great place for an overnight stay and a good alternative to soaking all of our gear before heading further south.
