Charelston - Space Bell

24 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres ¡ Coos Bay, OR
The intention behind naming this land The Cloud, is in honor of the atmospheric connection to land that is provided here. The Cloud, is currently in the process of becoming a retreat and eco village for guest to come experience. While still curating the space, the land is being brought together with a passion for saving trees and their priceless ecological function. The large Spruce trees that cover the land, stand with strong branches covered with magnificent green needles. These needles collect water vapor from the air, offering water droplets onto the ground. This process has provided a vibrant natural habitat. The Cloud is an intentional space, where those on the land are invited to become mindful, and connect not only with the land, but with themselves.

Camp Catching

3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents6 acres ¡ Coos Bay, OR
Learn more about this land: Camp Catching is located on Catching Slough a beautiful tidal water way located in the Coos Sumner area near Coos Bay. Home lands to the Coos and Coquille tribes. Camp catching is a part of Blue Barns Farms, a 6 acres homestead located on Old Wagon Rd. This area is considered a “Banana Belt” as during the summer it is often 15 degrees warmer than “in town” and outside of the fog bank that is often seen daily closer to the ocean. It is a great place to set up camp while exploring other areas of our beautiful community. The Oregon Bay Area ( Coos County) is a True Hidden Gem. You can go from mountain to sea; exploring waterfalls to playing at the beach all in one day. We have 3 camping areas around our little blue barn and surrounding area. Each camp spot has a solo fire pit and picnic table (please note: fires will be permitted based on fire risk.) All 3 camping spots have access to Catching Slough for paddle boarding and kayaking; I have been known to even swim on a hot day. We have two paddle boards, one double kayak and a child kayak (less than 130 lbs) available for camper use. Catching slough is influenced by the tides and contains brackish waters- both add additional magic to this area. This means twice a day the slough empties traveling to the ocean and fills up again. High tide is a great time for paddle boarding and kayaking; low tide is wonderful for watching birds and other animals. Anytime is actually great for bird watching! We have a number of different species of birds that rest here while migrating- the opportunity to see them all depends on the time of year that you visit. You can also watch fish jump in the bend of the slough. Other oddities that we have seen since living here over the last 7 years- swimming deer and even a seal(only once)! Everyone who comes to visit finds the slough mesmerizing and beautiful! For facilities we have an outdoor shower and Porter potties that are emptied regularly. Our little Blue Barn is a communal space offering a refrigerator, kettle and tea house. There is also a barbecue located outside the barn for camps use.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
