Within Siuslaw National Forest, Lagoon Campground sits directly beside a lagoon with dune access just minutes away. This Forest Service facility accommodates RVs up to 85 feet across 40 sites, each varying in size and configuration. The campground operates year-round at $22 per night, with both reservable and walk-up sites available.
Sites range from full sun to partially shaded, separated by natural vegetation that provides some privacy between neighbors. A one-mile accessible trail loops around the campground, connecting to the lagoon and offering fishing opportunities. The facility includes flush toilets, drinking water spigots, picnic tables, and fire rings, though no showers or utility hookups. A camp host maintains the grounds, which reviewers consistently describe as clean and well-maintained.
The location brings both benefits and trade-offs. Cathy C. notes the campground is "hidden from the crazy coast wind" by surrounding dunes. However, nearby OHV activity generates engine noise during afternoons and weekends, though this typically subsides by evening when ocean sounds become audible. Beach access requires about a mile walk or short drive to designated areas.
Cell service remains limited to one bar, making this spot suitable for those wanting to disconnect. For campers preferring immediate dune access, Siltcoos Sand Camping provides direct OHV staging nearby.
Description
Overview
Lagoon Campground is located about 8 miles south of Florence within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Most of the campground's sites are surrounded by beautiful coastal shrubbery. Fishing and hiking are popular here, with the Lagoon Trail providing a short but scenic hiking loop around the perimeter of the campground. A beach along the Pacific Ocean is also within walking distance.
Recreation
The Lagoon Trail is an accessible loop that provides wetland wildlife viewing on boardwalks. On the south side of the Siltcoos River, the 1.3-mile Waxmyrtle Trail offers outstanding views of the lower Siltcoos estuary and the Pacific Ocean. The Chief Tsiltcoos Trail is also nearby. Anglers can find rainbow trout in the lagoon in winter and spring. In Siltcoos Lake, bass, steelhead, cutthroat trout, yellow perch, and bluegill may take the bait.
Facilities
Amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, trash collection, recycling, and fire rings with grills. Parking aprons are paved. A dump station is located less than 5 miles away at Honeyman State Park.
Natural Features
At an elevation of 100 feet, the campground sits among shore pine and huckleberry along the Siltcoos Lagoon and the Siltcoos River. The campground is part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering to 500 feet above sea level. Wildlife is abundant in the campground and along the Lagoon Trail. Native animal inhabitants include beavers, ducks, herons, and bitterns (a waterfowl relative of the heron).
