“Outdoor Museum” for Collier Memorial State Park Campground
1 out of 1 people found this review helpfulCollier Memorial State Park provides an opportunity to camp among Oregon’s beautiful Ponderous Pines, next to the crystal-clear waters of Spring Creek, where it flows into the famous fishing waters of the Williamson River. Plus you have the opportunity to visit the largest outdoor logging museum, perhaps in the world. All this is connected with a network of walking trails. Paved sites in an immaculately kept campground, laundry, & showers. Closed in winter.

“A Favorite” for Waxmyrtle Campground (Siuslaw National Forest)
This is a favorite of ours. The vegetation is lush here with Waxmytle shrubby and Shore Pine trees making for some nice secluded sites. Opportunities abound to observe wild life from Douglas Squirrels in the trees to water fowl on the Siltcoos River Estuary, and the estuary is a great place to kayak. Hiking trails can take you to the beach or along a quite lagoon at the next-door Lagoon Campground.

“A Great Stay for All Reasons” for Seal Rocks RV Cove
You could choose to stay at Seal Rocks RV Cove for any number of reasons. The staff is friendly and accommodating, there are a variety of good RV sites, and it is close to Newport with all its attractions. But, the big reason we would return is because of its location to Seal Rock State Recreation Site, just across the highway. There is a private entrance to the beach in a protected cove with an amazing variety of sea life to observe. You will not be disappointed.

“A Place for Everyone” for North Lake Resort RV Park & Marina
An extremely helpful staff found room for us when we stopped on a busy 4th of July Holiday Weekend. This park has a wide variety of sites, from tents to big rigs. Great place for boating and fishing. Complete facities include showers, laundry and fish cleaning station. Has a small store for supplies, but close enough to town to walk if you need more.

“Under the Radar” for Bastendorff Beach Park Campground
2 out of 3 people found this review helpfulBastendorff Beach Park, a Coos County Park, lives in the shadow of the better known nearby Sunset Beach State Park. As a general rule, most county parks are less known, appearing to fly under the radar; they lack being a part of a state system and usually do not spend the advertising money that private RV parks often do. Should you visit this park with its wooded sites, I think you will find this in your favor, no reservations are made, all sites are on a first come basis, and space is usually available. The price is right, and the beach is near-by.

“A Quiet Retreat” for Bluebill Campground (Siuslaw National Forest)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpfulMost of the campgrounds in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area are used by the “off road” crowd, which means a lot of noxious noise, fumes, and confusion. Bluebill Campground is closed to OHV travel, making it a quite retreat from the surrounding circus. This is the place for you if you like to hike or bird or even a do little fishing. Paved road and sites, and kept very clean. It sees little use; you probably would never need a reservation. Keep in mind there are no hook-ups.

“One of the Best” for Mill Casino RV Park
1 out of 1 people found this review helpfulThis park is conveniently located right off Hwy 101 at the Mill Casino complex. Nicely landscaped and immaculately maintained, the campground backs up against Coos Bay, providing a sense of scenery and space. A dry-camp area is offered for free next to the highway. We return here a lot, the staff is always friendly.

“Handy but Pricey” for Novato RV Park
Due to its proximity to San Francisco, this is a handy place to stay if you’re visiting the city. It’s a simple drive down the freeway and across the Golden Gate. The small town of Novato is close by and if you like to hike, run, bike or bird watch, the 500 acre Rush Creek Open Space preserve, just across the street, is also very handy. It is however a little pricey.

“Nature Lovers Paradise” for Buckhorn Recreation Area
1 out of 1 people found this review helpfulThis may be a busy place in the summer, I don’t know, but in winter it’s very quiet. You may have the whole campground to yourself. Wildlife is abundant with lots of deer and a great variety of birds. There are miles of trails to hike, and wonderful sunsets. No hook-ups, but a dump station and fresh water.
