The short version

Oregon’s state parks are some of the most RV-friendly public campgrounds in the country, and three of them anchor the central and southern coast: Jessie M. Honeyman near Florence, Sunset Bay near Coos Bay and Bullards Beach near Bandon. All three offer full-hookup and electric-with-water sites, flush toilets and hot showers.

Oregon State Parks says most of its campgrounds accommodate RVs up to 50 feet, but site lengths vary by park and site, and your tow vehicle must fit on the paved driveway too. Use the lengths on each site’s reservation page, and use the dates below, because several loops close in autumn.

Best for

  • Beach, dune and lighthouse country with real hookups
  • Rigs up to about 50 feet that can book a long site ahead
  • Travelers who want showers, yurts or a dump station on site

Think twice if

  • You plan to arrive in July or August without a reservation
  • You want to camp on the coast in January and February, when Honeyman closes entirely
  • You want free or dispersed camping on the beach

Rig fit

  • Most Oregon state campgrounds fit RVs up to 50 ft, but lengths vary by site
  • Your tow vehicle must also fit the paved driveway
  • Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
