All guests can book an hour in our beautiful sauna with a view for an additional $25. We offer two types of campsites at Prosper Bluff: Our Prosper Bluff with river access site can accommodate individuals or small groups of up to 3 small or medium-sized camp vehicles*. This open field camp with expansive views of the majestic Coquille River and Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge is perfect for those who prioritize a spectacular view and privacy away from other campers while being close to town and recreation opportunities. Guests will have river and dock access via a trail that starts at the campsite, and can enjoy fishing, crabbing, or simply taking in the breathtaking scenery. Watch spectacular sunrises and sunsets from your private bluff camp. *This site is not good for tents as the wind can be very strong and there are no trees on the bluff. Our two Lost Valley Van Camp sites can each accommodate one self-contained campervan or truck camper and offer a quiet place to pull up amongst the trees on the outskirts of the field. Each site comes with a convertible bench/table for two and a flat grassy area to camp with plenty of room to turn your vehicle around. The two sites are separated by dense trees to ensure privacy from neighboring campers. While these sites don't come with the epic view or river access of our bluff site, they are peaceful and conveniently located. Please message us with any questions.

Escape to two peaceful riverside campsites on the scenic Coquille River, conveniently located between Bandon and Coquille. Whether you’re pitching a tent or bringing a small RV, you’ll enjoy a quiet waterfront setting just 15 minutes from the renowned Whiskey Run Mountain Bike Trails and the world-famous Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. Spend your days relaxing by the river or launch a kayak or paddleboard right from the property. Because the Coquille River is tidal, water levels change throughout the day. Our campsites experience the tides approximately two hours after the river mouth. For example, if high tide is at noon at the mouth of the river, it will be around 2:00 p.m. at the campsite. Enhance your stay with a cozy campfire. Guests may request our fire pit and a bundle of firewood for a small additional fee. Each campsite includes its own water spigot. While the water is available for use, we recommend using a filter if you plan to drink it. A clean, conveniently located outhouse is shared between the two campsites. To help preserve the peaceful atmosphere, each campsite accommodates a maximum of four adults. Looking for a unique glamping experience? We also offer a spacious 22-foot tipi featuring two queen-size beds. Search for Bandon Riverbank Tipi on Hipcamp to learn more.

- Open Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend - Grassy mowed area along the Sixes River on our cattle ranch and cranberry farm. We provide an outdoor shower and composting toilet shared by the 5 camp sites. The shower water is filtered water from a shallow well, but bring water to drink. This campsite lies about 1 mile from the pacific ocean at about 15 feet elevation so it will be cooler than inland camp sites. I believe we are the closest camping to the south side of the Blacklock Hiking Trails. Also next to the Cape Blanco State Airport. (call if you want to fly in and get transport to and from the campsite). Access Road is a single lane in and out (gravel, dirt, and grass). Any towed trailers need to be pulled by a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle to climb back out (in and out procedures for trailers will be provided) Bring a fishing pole or a kayak. Sea-run trout are in the river during the summer (no motorized vehicles allowed in the Sixes River by law. No motorized vehicles in campsite besides automobiles by rule.) - Please be accurate with the number of guests in your party. Please note about lack of signage: The "walters landing" and "92220" on airport road are the only markings to indicate our entrance. We don't want to put any "campground" signs to avoid curious trespassers into the property (we only want invited guests). Campsite Rules: 1. Enjoy. 2. No motorized vehicles besides your auto. 3. Make sure your fun doesn't detract from the fun had by other campers. 4. No illegal activity. 5. Clean up after your pet in the camp and river bank area or anywhere people will be walking or playing. 6. No unfriendly pets, even if they are on a leash. Must be safe with other children and pets and livestock.

Cape Arago State Park camping guide

Overview

About

Cliffs and coves look out over the rocky isles of Cape Arago in this state park. Take in the views with a drive around the Cape Arago Beach Loop, which takes in the neighboring Sunset Bay and Shore Acres state parks, as well as Cape Arago Lighthouse. Two hiking trails run through the park—follow the North Trail to spot seals and sea lions around Shell Island or the South Trail to explore tidepools and enjoy beachcombing and fishing along the beach. Camping isn’t permitted in the park, but there are options around Bastendorff Beach, a 10-minute drive north. 

When to go

Cape Arago is accessible year-round, but coastal walks are exposed to the elements, so be prepared for windy weather even in summer. Expect crowds if visiting during July and August or on bank holiday weekends—an early start will ensure you snag a parking spot. Whale watching is best during the annual migration periods from March through May and mid-December through January. The North Trail is closed annually from March through June during the seal pupping season. 

Know before you go

  • Cape Arago State Park is set 15 miles southwest of Coos Bay, or about a 25-minute drive along the Cape Arago Highway. You’ll need your own vehicle, as there’s no public transport, but free parking is available at the trailheads.
  • Facilities within the park include restrooms and picnic tables, but you’ll need to bring everything else with you. Shops and restaurants can be found within a 10-minute drive. Head to Coos Bay to stock up on supplies. 
  • Wildlife watching is a highlight in this state park, so pack your binoculars.
