The camp area is tucked away among large spruce trees and open meadows which lead to endless trails on the property, with the option to buy a round of golf at Sunset Bay Golf Course, which is right next door to the camp area. We’re just short of a mile from Sunset Bay, where you will find kayaking, fishing and a great spot for kids. The Whiskey Run mountain bike trails are a short drive away and are truly world-class trails. The Sunset Bay State Park has a huge trail network that spans the cliff line all the way from Sunset Bay to Cape Arago. Chuck’s Seafood in Charleston is a great spot to pick up local seafood.

Just beyond the apple trees is a sign, on a big fir tree. This sign points to the direction of the campsite. Shaped like an arrow it points to the mowed path down to the creek and campsite which you may drive. Uphill from the campsite is a trail going through a small copse of trees that leads up to the red barn. On the left, at the entrance to the barn, is a bathroom complete with sink and shower.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Bay Meadows

I had an amazing stay at this cozy yurt near Coos Bay, Oregon. The property itself is stunning—set on a vast stretch of woodland that is even part of a golf course, it felt like a peaceful retreat tucked away in nature. The yurt was warm, inviting, and the skylight made it extra special. Hearing the nearby stream in the evening and waking up to soft natural light were some of my favorite things about the yurt stay. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make my stay memorable, even taking the time to show me where to find edible mushrooms on the property. It’s clear they genuinely enjoy sharing their land and encouraging guests to explore and connect with the outdoors. The sauna and outdoor-style shower added to the rustic, nature-inspired experience—simple, refreshing, and perfectly in tune with the setting. Overall, this stay was peaceful, unique, and full of thoughtful touches. As a solo female I felt incredibly safe and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, nature-focused getaway. 🌿

Tim's place was absolutely amazing, the endless possibilities and beautiful sounds and views 😍 we will be back. The sites where way bigger than we expected, we had plenty of room for all of us. It was so nice. We could hear the Elk and sea lions all night and the morning before we left we seen some whales just a couple of minutes down the road. It was an experience.

While there are many RV parks & campgrounds in the area to choose from we really appreciated the secluded & peaceful setting at Sunset Bay Meadows. Tim was an excellent host. The wood fired sauna & outdoor shower were a big perk! Thank you for a relaxing stay.

David was very helpful when I arrived, there was plenty of beautiful open space to choose from. Right off the highway, but without highway noise. I had the pleasure of meeting a cow that passed right by my tent:) There is a small bar/restaurant a few miles up the road that was quaint and hospitable for dinner. I would definitely stay there again passing through on a road trip!

Great place to camp! Secluded, campsites are roomy and well-manicured....and there's a variety of sites to choose from. Portapotties were stocked & clean, and apparently serviced weekly. It's a bit of a walk back up the road to the shower and wood-fired sauna, we didn't use either. Bring your lawn games, ladderball, cornhole, etc. Firepits & picnic tables in good shape. Close to Shore Acres, Sunset Bay, Coos/North Bend, etc. Even Bandon wouldn't be that far. Recommended, we will stay again!
