William M. Tugman State Park Campground

We had a great stay and time. Camp site and Yurts were clean with nice privacy between sites. The park rangers and camp hosts were all friendly. Restrooms were clean but dated.  Eel lake was a lot of fun!!  Good fishing from the dock as well as from our kayaks and SUP boards.  Overall it was a great place to stay and can not wait to go back soon. 

July 20-24

We really liked how roomy the campgrounds were here. Spaced and set up well. Trails to walk around in the woods. Nice staff. 

Scenic place to stay.

If you're quick enough on the draw, you can rent a yurt from most Oregon state campgrounds. These sell out fast though so if you want a bit of glamping, plan it out in advance. The dog we were watching loved it and I think the yurt was best for him since he'd have been scared of the tent. Only a couple of the yurts are designated pet friendly. A short walk leads to a kids play area and the beach isn't too far away.

Great place for kids and dogs

We have been to Tugman a few times, but this most recent trip was Father's Day weekend. Several local activities, but we went for the Chainsaw Festival.

Tugman is a nice, clean, and quiet campground. Park staff was actually being very proactive in making sure park rules were followed, and helpful if we had any questions. They even came by in the morning offering to collect our garbage, and dispose of it for us. Bathrooms and Showers were all clean and water was hot.

We will plan another trip soon.

Tugman / Chainsaw Festival 

The rv sites are so well protected from the wind. Lake is usually pretty warm during the summer. Great sites and amenities.

Great spot

Notice the asphalt spaces were not very level. Most RV/Campers had to use blocks to level out. Very woods sites and all spaces shaded. This site is close to the Eel Lake for boating, and across the highway101 is access to the dunes. But this State park is not gear up for ATV riders. A must to RSVP for the summer. Can get cel service and mobile data service. Park Host clean up sites quickly. On the East side of HwY 101\. About 6 miles North to Winchester Bay, and a few more miles to the beach. Pay day use parking of $4 to Douglas County for beach access.

Have 16 yurts, 8 yurts pet friendly.

Have a hiker/biker camp

Shower and restrooms, very clean (no spider webs)

RV dump site, ask for a $3 donation.

In the woods by the lake

We snagged a no-show site here on the 4th of July. The grounds are well kept and the bathrooms/showers are really nice. There is a pretty lake trail and lots of recreation in the area. We had a nice night for the most part but it definitely wasn’t our style. Too many people, sites too close, lots  of noise, lots of rvs and atvs. To be fair, it was a holiday weekend but I don’t think we’d like it much more if it wasn’t. If you have kids or an rv, it would be great. If you’re an adult and like to have some quiet time, not your spot. 

Pretty good if you don’t mind crowds

Another Oregon state park wins again. Campsites feel tucked away in the forest. It was beautiful even when it was raining. Hardly anyone here in early March. Also close enough to the Lighthouse you could visit 2 parks in one day. 

Beautiful campground and walks

We stayed on site A33. This site was easy to back into and it was plenty big enough for our 32’ foot trailer and truck. This site sits close yo Hwy 101, so you will get some road noise, but it wasn’t so loud that it out a damper on our camping experience.  Site A33 is mostly private and does have ample room in the rear of the site for about 2 small tents or 1 medium / large tent. 

The camp hosts and StTe park employees were very approachable and friendly. 

Tugman is well suited for all varieties of campers to from singles, couples and families and can accommodate tents, trailers, 5th wheels, vans and has yurts available for rental. 

The adjacent park has plenty of green space, a boat launch, a playground, picnic tables and restroom ( very family friendly). 

The campground is very close to several activities to include boating, fishing, paddling boarding, kayaking, hiking and recreational riding on the dunes. It’s also close to Lakeside, Reedsport and Coos Bay that if you forget supplies or looking for alternate to cooking camp style - you have options to get or find what you need. 

Well maintained. Great for any kind of camper.

This is a classic Oregon Coast campground! Well spaced sites with lots of vegetation screens!  Most of the spaces are for smaller rvs or tents. There are some for larger rigs.  A popular place all summer. Nice play area in day use area. Boat launch and beach in day use area. 

Sweet Spot in the Woods! 

I couldn’t reserve but I could WalkIn according to the reservations site. The camp Host was very helpful. I got almost an entire leg of a loop all to myself. $26 includes water and electric. I’m sleeping in my car so I don’t need much. I can hear the road but it’s not annoying . Will quiet down later, I’m sure . I would stay again. 

Nice spots in the late fall! 

This was a great campground nestled in the trees off the coast and nearby some towns for amenities.  We stayed two nights in a yurt and used this as a base camp for some day hikes and town exploring. Beautiful. Cleanish bathrooms. Lots of mosquitos. Very damp. Lots of trees. Deer in the park. Lots of trails around the lake too. 


Do yourself a favor and check out the Harbor Light restaurant two towns North and get their clam chowder and elk shepherds pie. To die for. 

Yurts! 

wad very nice and comfy very secluded sites
