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.

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!

The best camping near William M. Tugman State Park guide

Overview

About

Tugman Park is relatively unknown, which is why it's perfect for your getaway. Nearby Oregon Dunes get most of the attention. Eel Lake, barely inland from the Oregon coast, is an angler's paradise. This hideaway is quiet, peaceful, and filled with nature.

Cast your line for largemouth bass, rainbow trout, crappie, and steelhead. If you catch any Coho salmon, you must release them. The other species are fair game for your dinner. Use the fishing dock if you don't have a boat. BYOB (bring your own boat) and use the boat ramp.

A small beach is ideal for swimming on a hot summer day. Eat lunch at the gazebo-style shelter. A lone hiking trail on the south end of the lake takes you away from the developed areas and into cozy, secluded inlets. You might spot some osprey, cranes, eagles, and deer.

The campground works well as a headquarters for exploring Coos Bay, the dunes, and Reedsport. Around 93 campsites have electricity and water. Some 16 yurts offer glamping opportunities.

Notable campgrounds

  • Electrical sites with water – Enjoy the convenience of electric and water hookups amid a forest of shore pines.
  • Yurts – Experience a unique stay in one of the park's comfortable yurts, some of which are pet-friendly and accessible.
  • Hiker/biker camp – A special camping experience designed for those traveling by bike or on foot.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early – Reserve your spot up to 6 months in advance to secure your ideal campsite.
  • Midweek stays – Consider visiting during the week for better availability and a quieter experience.
  • Off-peak seasons – Explore the park's beauty during shoulder seasons when campsites are easier to book.
  • Explore nearby camping options – If Tugman is full, check out other local campgrounds for additional opportunities.

When to go

William M. Tugman State Park is open year-round, offering a different charm each season. Summer brings warm days perfect for lake activities, while spring and fall offer quieter visits with mild weather. Winter can be wet but provides a peaceful solitude. Avoid holiday weekends if you prefer a less crowded experience.

Know before you go

  • Check fishing regulations – Stay informed about current fishing rules for Eel Lake by visiting the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife website.
  • Firewood restrictions – Purchase firewood locally to prevent the spread of invasive species.
  • Electric vehicle charging – Two EV charging stations are available at the day-use parking area.
  • No wifi – Prepare for a digital detox as the park does not offer wifi services.
  • Pet-friendly options – Select yurts accommodate pets, so include your furry friends in your adventure.
