11 Mile River Camp

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents10 acres ¡ Umpqua, OR
Welcome to the river! This beautiful 10 acre property is located on the scenic main Umpqua River. Enjoy excellent, year-round fishing, kayaking, and swimming right from your private and secluded campsite. Our property is located between 2 boat ramps which makes kayak, canoe, or raft floats a breeze. The property features beautiful, mature trees, fun bedrock to explore, and an amazing swimming hole (in the summertime when the river level is low enough). Sit at the river’s edge and enjoy the sounds of the water. Be sure to watch for soaring Eagles, jumping fish, and the occasional mink on the opposite river's edge! There are multiple wineries nearby and lots of hiking trails within a short drive. There is no cell service at the property - please plan ahead and check local burn ban policies before you go. The "owners area" camping spot is a large, graveled, gated area that has trees between the road and parking. There is a port-a-potty for use in the summer months. There is also a fire pit on the lower level overlooking the river, a hidden tree swing, and deck with picnic table. The "site 1" camping spot has a driveway that is hard-packed grass and is not gated. There is a small fire pit on the path by the river. There are areas under the trees both up top near the road and down near the path that are suitable for tents. PLEASE NOTE: This is not a fully manicured campground. There are bushes and grasses that grow year round. We do our best to keep things trimmed and accessible. Sometimes (especially in the spring) things grow more quickly than we can get to them. Please don't expect this to be a perfectly mowed, backyard-type site.

Lost Coast Adventure Camp

1 site ¡ RV, Tent5 acres ¡ Florence, OR
This magical property is conveniently located 5 miles north of Florence and directly on Hwy 101, approximately 3/4 of a mile from the ocean. This is a large private site that is surrounded by old growth timber and teaming with flora and fauna. Campers are encouraged to explore, but be aware, this property is wild.. and encounters with wildlife are common. Beyond the adventuring that can be done on the property, Baker Beach state park is less than a half a mile away and there is a plethora of trails, parks, and lakes within 10 miles. We do have full time neighbors just to the North, so we ask that you be respectful and cautious with regard to dogs/noise. Hwy 101 can be very dangerous for unsuspecting pets. There are several roadside campfire stations(directly across 101 from camp) offering small bundles for $5-6/night. **Be advised that we are slowly working on the property to eventually create more camping space. There was a lot of dirt/fill brought in over the winter of 2022 and the property may not be as green as years past.** Please be our guests, relax, and enjoy!

River View

4 sites ¡ RVs3 acres ¡ Florence, OR
Glenada was incorporated in 1912 and disincorporated in 1922 after the town's sawmills burned. This side of the river was pretty bustling before the Siuslaw bridge was built in 1936, being quite a transformative event considering the ferry from Glenada to Florence was the main way across the river. River View is located up on Glenada mountain, on the upper level of our three-acre lot. We have a free-range farm atmosphere, with 2 children, 2 large dogs, a cat, and 12 chickens. We allow Hip Campers to bring animals on the property with the understanding that they are good around children and other animals, as our kids and pets are often running around the land. We have firewood bundles and farm-fresh eggs available for additional fees. THERE IS NO TOILET on the property. This is not a tent camping site unless you have your own porta-potty set up. This is a beautiful rustic property close enough to Hwy 101 to be convenient but far enough away to enjoy all the wildlife the Siuslaw River has to offer. Bird watching at its finest! Not to mention the view of Old Town! Learn more about this land: River View is located on the upper level of our three-acre lot. We have a free-range farm atmosphere. We have 2 children, 2 large dogs, a cat, and 12 chickens. We allow Hip Campers to bring animals on the property with the understanding that they are good around children and other animals, as our kids and pets are often running around the land just below the campsite.

This little slice of rugged heaven is just above the Siuslaw River and right off of Hwy 101. There is a steep gravel driveway but once at the top, it is flat and the view is pretty amazing. From camp, you can see Old Town. Gaze down at the Siuslaw River and all the wildlife that comes with it! We regularly see deer, red tail hawks, ospreys, and bald eagles. We have also had a bear that passes through, so beware of leaving food out. There are plenty of places to hike and visit nearby dunes, rivers, lakes, parks, and the ocean. Enjoy Florence's amazing food (ask the host for her favorites). Walk down to Old Town for dinner or bring back take-out and eat it in the tiny house (no electricity or running water). Take a short walk to Pricket state park for clamming or just relax with a book and feel the breeze off the river.  Whatever you enjoy, we’re sure you can find something close by! No bathroom or running water but there are 2 electrical plugs (110V and 220V) available.

The best camping near Umpqua Lighthouse State Park guide

Overview

About

Surrounding Lake Marie, just inland from Winchester Bay on Oregon's Central Coast, Umpqua Lighthouse State Park offers a low-key alternative to some of the state's larger and more popular seaside state parks. Although the beach and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area are both a short drive away, there's plenty to do right in the park, from fishing in the stocked freshwater lake to visiting the Umpqua River Lighthouse and Umpqua Valley Museum. Umpqua Lighthouse Campground has 40-odd tent and RV sites, plus eight yurts (six of which have kitchens and bathrooms), and two lakeview log cabins. 

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Book well in advance! Reservations open on a rolling basis, at 6am each day six months in advance. Campsites, yurts, and cabins can be booked online or over the phone up to 24 hours before your stay.
  2. Same-day slots are sometimes available on a first-come, first-served basis, even for cabins and yurts. If you want to go this route, it’s wise to arrive early.
  3. Avoid weekends for the easiest reservation experience. Weekdays have far more availability, even during the busy summer season.
  4. If you can’t find anything on your preferred dates, you can set an alert to be notified in case something comes up.

When to go

Umpqua Lighthouse State Park is open all year, and is particularly popular between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when temperatures are warmer and rainfall isn’t as likely. This time of year is also good for fishing and dune buggy excursions. If you don’t mind a little rain coupled with cooler temperatures, consider visiting in October, when crowds are fewer but temperatures are still mild.

Know before you go

  • Basic supplies and groceries are available at tiny Winchester Bay, a three-minute drive from the campground, though you’ll find more selection and options in the larger community of Reedsport, 10 minutes away by car. The campground is about a five-minute drive from the beach.
  • Pets are allowed, as long as they are kept on a leash. Some cabins and yurts are also pet-friendly.
  • Wildfires are an increasing threat to the Oregon forest, and campfire bans are often put in place. During periods of extreme risk, the use of camping stoves and similar devices may also be banned
