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. 🌿

Weekend Trip to Beachfront Getaway

Our stay at Craig’s place was absolutely magical! We actually got engaged on his property, which made it even more special. The beach access was incredible, we spent hours exploring, finding beautiful rocks, and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Craig was such a kind and welcoming host (and his sweet dog Jade completely stole our hearts!) Everything about our stay was calm, cozy, and unforgettable. We honestly never wanted to leave — thank you, Craig, for creating such a beautiful space!

Weekend Trip to Beachfront Getaway

Absolutely stunning ocean front property and cozy bungalow equipped with small kitchenette, couch and cute rustic decor. The kitchenette had a coffee maker, electric kettle, microwave and mini fridge as well as necessary cutlery. The composting toilet was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. For being right on the cliffside, the bungalow was very dry inside and not a bit moist or musty like most coastal houses can be. The path to the beach is very steep but well maintained. Morning coffee on the beach is a must! Beach is low tide access only. My little dog was the happiest I’ve ever seen her. She was elated, running circles on the luscious property and scaling the rocks on the beach. 10/10 would love to stay again!

The spot was easy to find. The view is really nice. We booked for only one night as we were just looking for a safe night to sleep while fishing the Siuslaw. We sat up our sleeping mats and blankets and slept inside the little tiny building in the property. We brought our own bathroom set up. It worked out really nice for what we needed. We will stay again!

The best camping in William M. Tugman State Park, OR 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.
