About
National Forest
Siuslaw National Forest
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).

GuideQuiet with Forest like setting
Only 40 sites, each site is unique in size and depth. Handicapped accessible walking trail about one mile around campground. No ATV access, you will need to drive down the road to a day use site with adjacent dune access. Quiet. No utilities. Flush toilets, no showers. Water faucets but not to fill tanks. One bar on phone, so if you want to disconnect, this is the place. Nice amount of bushes and trees between sites. Some sites are full sun, most are partially shaded. Hidden from the crazy coast wind.

GuideSpaceious! Site 34
We stayed in June. Lucked out with the weather! The dunes blocked most of the wind which was nice. Campground has plenty of options for your camping needs. Big sites, small sites some without shade. We stayed in the second loop where they had large sites for haulers/trailers. The site was secluded, and felt some what private. We had our trailer and two trucks to block the view of the bathroom and other sites. Only downside was there was an opening to the trail that lines the lake behind the site. Not ideal for someone with a reactive doggo or kiddos who may run off. OHV noise wasn’t terrible, we didn’t mind anyways. Dunes are 5 min down the road.
