Windy Cove Campground (Section A)

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Douglas County operates Windy Cove Campground (Section A) in Winchester Bay, on Oregon's central coast, where the name reflects reality: wind chills are a consistent factor, particularly at night and during storms. Sites have no privacy between them. The campground runs year-round and provides full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus showers, a dump station, and WiFi, making it a functional base for anglers and dune riders rather than a destination in itself. Fishing pier access and the Oregon Dunes are within a few minutes by car. Windy Cove Campground (Section B) sits nearby for campers wanting a different configuration.

Campers regularly cited the excellent cleanliness and exceptional hosts as standout features. The facility serves well as a base camp for area activities, though visitors should expect limited privacy between most sites.

Horrible Camp Host

We stayed a week in Windy Cove B. The only site available was right next to the camp host. My son and his daughter staying in a tent right next to our rv camper. This happen to be directly in front of the host camp site. My son and his daughter play very loud and rough. The cops showed up at our campsite saying they had a complaint that someone was abusing a child here. They took my granddaughter aside and asked her questions. He asked her if she was hurt. She of course said no. He asked her if she had any broken bones. She of course said no. The only thing we could think of was that my granddaughter pointed (or something) at her dad, and dad told her he was gonna break that finger. DHS has contacted the mother, saying that they need to do an investigation regarding child molestation! WTF! Because granddaughter was heard saying “that hurts”. She says this when dad is winning and she wants him to stop. Then he lets go and she attacks him. And son was heard saying “I’ll go warm it up for you.” And now DHS has to do an investigation. Are you kidding me? It had to have been the camp host! There was no one else around! Needless to say, we will never be staying there again! Which is very sad for us. We have spent many vacations there. My son has grown up camping there. Just so frustrating! And traumatizing to my granddaughter! So now we have to go through this mess to show that there is no abuse going on. I am a survivor of my father molesting me. I KNOW the signs! And she has none! Just traumatizing for us all.

We will retirn

This campground is a great place to stay if you are here for other adventures! VERY CLEAN! and well kept. If you are looking for a spot to just enjoy the campground they don’t have much to offer. But if you plan to spend your days at the beach, Dunes, or fishing it is a perfect base camp! Price is very reasonable!

Delightful Cove!

The campground hosts are absolutely the best! They are so kind, keep the place super clean, are very very friendly and welcoming! We were staying elsewhere and decided to move campgrounds... FANTASTIC decision! The area we stayed in had 4 spots tucked away in a delightful cove that was beautiful, clean, green and spacious! Can’t say enough about it, we can’t wait to go back. They have everything from tent spots to full hook ups. The harbor is right across the street and close to restaurants, stores and there are nice sidewalks for enjoying a beautiful stroll!

Great acess for RV and ATV campers

Loop A & B: Sitting right in Winchester Bay, this campground likely got this name because of the wind chills that whip by during the night or stormy days. I would not go tent camping at this site, but RV, trailer, car-camping and ATV use would be great! This site has access to their piers for fishing, access to small local shops, and the dunes are less than 5 minutes away. We enjoyed visiting the Umpqua Lighthouse State Park while in town and recommend trying DD’s pub for fresh oysters caught in the oyster triangle.

This site DOES have bathrooms, showers, and a large playground. There is no privacy between the sites, be forewarned.
