We're close to the beach and the Sunset Bay Golf Course is on the same property. Lots of hiking trails and you can connect with Sunset Bay State Park our neighbor. We have a private, secluded campground that is wind sheltered with approximately 20 acres of space in which to use our covered table, picnic tables, fire pit, fire rings at individual campsites, BBQ, sauna and outdoor propane-fired shower. 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.

**Please note: this property is for SELF-CONTAINED campers only - no toilet or hookups available (hose water and trash disposal on site). NO Class A RVs, Fifth Wheels, or Toy Haulers.** Beautiful Prosper Bluff is close to the charming town of Bandon, world class beaches, Bullards Beach State Park, Whiskey Run mountain bike trails, Bandon Dunes golf resort, and more. We are conveniently located right off Hwy 101, just a few minutes from town. Prosper Bluff is close to all the amenities and recreation, yet private and peaceful with a large open field surrounded by river, estuary, forest, and cranberry bogs. 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. We look forward to hearing from you!

Cornerstone Ranch is a pristine Ranch of about 500 acres on the Rogue River and against the Pacific Ocean offering too many experiences to count. You can even bring your horse... FYI, Hipcamps map for site locations is not correct. Two go next to the driveway and the other four follow the creek. From the South GPS is very accurate to our driveway. Coming from the North, GPS may drop you a few driveways away as that is the property line. Keep driving about another 1/8th mile until you see the large red "Cornerstone Ranch" sign. That is our driveway. Welcome... The ranch offers 6 different campsites. Campfires are allowed (outside of burn bans), and there is a toilet in off season and Port-A-Potties during the summer on site as well. Reviews from guests: "During the night we could hear Elk and the nearby nature! When we woke up we got to visit with the horses, use the really clean port-potty, and chat with Bonnie and Chris the Hosts. They have tons of recommendations, but our favorite was the Indian creek cafe across the river. The areas so great and clean and the host cares about their guests! Would recommend!"

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.

Welcome to our private Sea Stack Cove on the Southern Oregon Coast! Discover your secluded haven nestled among mature Shore Pines and lush native foliage, offering two private full RV hookup sites within our quiet residential neighborhood. This isn't just a place to park; it's an invitation to unwind, explore, and connect with nature's raw beauty. Choose Your Coastal Hideaway: "Escallonia Alley" offers a deeply private, 80' by 16' foot concrete pad, framed by towering pines and fragrant Escallonia and Camellia hedges. It's a pull-in, back-out spot designed for ultimate seclusion. "Pineapple Palm" is a private back-in site with a direct pull-out, nestled among our charming landscape. A Note on Arrival (Embrace the Adventure!): Our spots are incredibly private, which means navigating them requires a little finesse. For rigs longer than 30 feet, especially bumper-pull trailers, a solid grasp of backing skills will make your arrival smooth and stress-free. Motorhomes under 30 feet will find entry much easier! For our longer-stay guests with bigger rigs, the effort is truly worth the reward of this unique retreat. We believe a little challenge makes the destination even sweeter! When you arrive we'll greet you and discuss how we'll get you in and out. While there are full hook ups, there's also a public dump station just down the highway, and if you come in empty, you probably can avoid the trouble of hooking up for your visit, depending on how long your staying. Your Private Beach Gateway: While our charming home provides a cozy buffer from the elements (and blocks the direct ocean view from your spot), it also grants you exclusive private access to our bluff. A short, adventurous walk down (which can be a bit of a scramble after winter storms – but that's part of the wild coast charm!) leads you directly to our beautiful, uncrowded beach. For an easier stroll, a public access path with stairs to a gorgeous beach is just a couple of

Trust us, they are more scared of you then you are of them.

Our historic south Empire oasis is a private, secluded and personal natural wildlife view spot. Coos Bay beauty at its best. Nestled between First Creek and Strawberry Island. Come visit our "little piece of Heaven" on the bay. We have kayaks, an outdoor kitchen and wifi! What more do you need. This year we are opening our gates to tours and gatherings. (We allow multiple cars not only one as listed) We are just minutes from beautiful beaches and hiking, (not to mention our own beach at the end of the walkway) mushrooming, crabbing and more. We would love to give you one of our several tours: Waterfalls, wild kayak Bonsai adventure, Ocean trail and more. Not only that, we can arrange for you to have coffee delivered to your door or a BBQ party for your party. Four hours south of Portland, two hours North of the CA boarder. Coos Bay has an regional airport made accessible by our world class golf course Bandon Dunes 1/2 hour from our place. The airport has one 55 minute flight a day to San Francisco. While the listing says "no wheel chair access" this is just for the camper because there are steps. If someone in your party has a wheelchair and would like to camp we can help you arrange the area for a tent or car camping for that individual but we do not have an accessible toilet other than an REI camp seat on bucket we can let you borrow if you promise to clean :) Our tiny house is on the same property as this camper. We have two gates so our guests have a private entrance with secure parking. There are two well behaved dogs, Figi and Kit and one cat, Riddle on the property. It is okay to have your well behaved dog off leash and a small camp fire most times of the year. We have an outdoor sitting area and BBQ. Small shower bath combo in the camper and in progress a dog washing station! Even though the photos illustrate the beauty and privacy to the West, we do hear some traffic to the East and the ground can be a bit muddy near the bay. We encourage guests to walk on the pathways vs the marsh which we are preserving if they head out to the sandy beach to clam or kayak. Other sports that could be fun would be kite surfing, or wet suit swimming.

The best camping in Port Orford Heads State Park, OR guide

Overview

About

Straddling the Pacific Ocean in coastal southern Oregon, Port Orford Heads State Park features a mix of hiking trails, historic buildings, and fantastic ocean views. It's the site of the Port Orford Lifeboat Station (a former US Coast Guard Station that now houses a museum), as well as a boathouse and a 36-foot motor lifeboat collectively listed in the National Register of Historic Places. While this park is for day use only with no overnight camping, there are plenty of places to camp in the immediate area, and the town of Port Orford is just a short drive away.

When to go

Port Orford Heads State Park is open annually from May through October, and the on-site museum is open from May through September (except Tuesdays). It rains a lot in this part of Oregon, particularly in the springtime, though if you’re willing to brave May showers, you’ll be rewarded with the chance to see wild irises in bloom at the park. July and August tend to be the warmest and driest (but also the busiest) months to visit.

Know before you go

  • Camping is not permitted in the park, though there are plenty of spots to pitch a tent in the area.
  • While the historic site is a big draw, the trails make the park worth visiting alone and offer great views of the ocean. Bring binoculars if you have them. 
  • The park is home to a large population of black tail deer. It's important to neither approach nor feed these creatures, for their own protection. 
  • ADA-accessible vault toilets are available and open even when the museum is not.
