Port of Siuslaw Campground & Marina

only stayed one night driving up the coast. The town here is absolutely lovely. We got in late at night and was a pretty simple easy setup (rv). It was hot dry and dusty, but being on the water was really nice...gravel or grass parking spots.

Nice location. Close to shops and restaurants

Visited here several times and love it.  It's basically a large gravel and dirt lot with sites.  The old area does have trees.  Some of the sites back up to the Siuslaw River.  You can crab from the nearby docks in Old Town Florence, which is only a couple of blocks away.  Bathrooms are clean and office staff have always been very friendly and helpful.  Old Town Florence has many restaurants and shops.  Very easy access to area for big rigs too.  

Walk to Restaurants and Shops

This place is perfect for exploring Florence. Old Town is just a two-minute walk, with lots of restaurants, shops, and galleries. There is also a Safeway just a 15-minute walk away. The waterfront sites are more expensive but the cheaper ones have trees and grass. The staff are friendly and the restrooms are clean, but not fancy. The sites are very close together so I imagine it's very crowded when the campground is full. The nightly rates are lower than nearby private campgrounds, and the monthly rate is very good. Wifi was strong enough most of the time for me to work from home.

Great rates right in town

Parks that are walking distance to shops and restaurants are such a treat.  There are breweries, restaurants, farmers market (on Tuesday afternoon), shops, etc all within easy walking distance from here.

  

We stayed at a waterfront site, which was cheaper than the "premium" pull through sites in the middle.  With fees and extra pet fees (you get one pet included in the nightly fee, any additional pets are $2 each) we paid $47 for a night.   The premium sites we would not recommend, unless you must have a pull through site.  Those are basically just spots in a gravel lot with hookups.  Zero division between sites.  And they are the most expensive at $55/night.

  

There's a nice gazebo to use for group events, but it's an odd set up in that there is no path to the gazebo and it's in the center of a circle of back in sites.  So if all the sites were occupied, I suppose you'd have to walk through someone's site to access it?

  

So pleasantly surprised to see glass recycling here!  We got to dump off our growing pile of traveling glass recycling.  Mixed recycling is in a separate bin.  But no plastics!

  

There is laundry here, and showers, but we did not use either.  There's a book exchange shelf in the office.

  

Their website is out of date: there are no dry camp spots any longer.  All sites are FHU.

  

Good cell service here and their wifi is good and strong, even in the back end where we were.

  

We liked this place to splurge on a place close to town, but overall too pricey for us to stay for any length of time.
