Solitude With a View of Fishermen!
From the moment we arrived I was saying, "I love this campsite! It is so amazing!" The view of the river and wetlands is so dreamy and peaceful. The fishing boats come and go throughout the morning on the river and I found it fascinating, as the town of Bandon has a long history and culture of fishing which intrigued me and made me want to be part of it! The site is well away from two other camp sites and the privacy fence worked well to distance from the hosts, whose house is on the other side but a good distance away. Our stay felt completely solitary, which we loved!! This site is a birder's paradise - bring your binoculars. The weather was fickle - we had clouds, sun, wind, damp fog and rain, but luckily the rain was short-lived during the night, and the sun was surprisingly glorious after mid-day both days. (Forecast was for clouds.) As noted by the hosts, the trail to the dock was steep and we opted not to venture all the way down. I was being careful due to a recent back injury -fit people will have it easier but should take care anyway -trekking poles help. There is occasional noise from the nearby highway/bridge, but it's intermittent and the overall solitude and peacefulness of the place completely outweigh it! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place and it is our new go-to campsite in Bandon!!! I want to keep this place a secret but it deserves to be shared! Shhh! The owner welcomed us upon arrival which was so nice as well. :)
