This open field camp with expansive views of the majestic Coquille River and Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is perfect for those who prioritize a spectacular view and privacy away from other campers while being close to town and recreation opportunities. Guests will have river and dock access via a trail that starts at the campsite, and can enjoy fishing, crabbing, or simply taking in the breathtaking scenery.

Each site comes with a convertible bench/table for two and a flat grassy area to camp with plenty of room to turn your vehicle around. The two sites are separated by dense trees to ensure privacy from neighboring campers. While these sites don't come with the epic view or river access of our bluff site, they are peaceful and conveniently located. Please message us with any questions.

The best camping near Sunset Bay State Park guide

Overview

About

On the edge of the Pacifc Ocean, a short drive from Coos Bay, Sunset Bay State Park offers easy access to Sunset Beach, plus hiking trail access to two day-use state parks nearby: Shore Acres State Park and Cape Arago State Park. The mid-sized Sunset Bay Campground features a mix of yurts, tent sites, and RV sites, plus hot showers and flush toilets. Group sites are also available for large parties, as is an interpretive program offering guided educational experiences such as tide pool viewing and nature walks.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Campsites and yurt reservations are available as early as six months in advance up until one day in advance. Reserve your spot online or over the phone through Oregon State Parks.
If you're looking to reserve a specific site, a cabin, or a group site, you can search for the next available date or create an email alert to be notified when spots open up.
Same-day campsites are sometimes available in person due to last-minute cancellations. Your chances of securing one of these sites increase the earlier you arrive.

When to go

Sunset Bay State Park is open for day use and camping throughout the year, but things can get pretty cold and chilly outside of the summer months. July and August are particularly crowded, but once kids go back to school in September, things tend to calm down. If interested in whale-watching, consider visiting during one of the two migration seasons: December and January or April and May.

Know before you go

The best place to pick up groceries and supplies is Coos Bay, a 20-minute drive away.
Pets are welcome in the campground, and four pet-friendly yurts are available.
The Cape Arago group camp is a three-mile drive from the main campground, while the Norton Gulch group camp is a short walk away.
Due to wildfire risks, campfires and even propane and gas stoves may be prohibited in summer or early fall.
