Sunset Bay State Park

What sets Sunset Bay State Park apart is its striking contrast between the wild, rugged beauty of Oregon’s coastline and the tranquil, sheltered bay it encompasses. Located just 12 miles southwest of Coos Bay, the campground offers campers a unique blend of oceanfront access, soaring cliffs, and lush forest surroundings, creating a serene escape for nature enthusiasts.

The campground itself boasts 139 campsites, including full-hookup, electrical, and tent options, along with eight cozy yurts featuring heat, electricity, and beds—perfect for year-round comfort. All sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, and amenities such as flush toilets, hot showers, and drinking water ensure a comfortable stay. The setting is both picturesque and convenient, with the campground just a short stroll to the sandy beach, where visitors can swim, kayak, or explore tidepools teeming with marine life.

This area is a gateway to adventure, with hiking trails seamlessly connecting to nearby Shore Acres and Cape Arago State Parks, offering access to stunning ocean vistas, seasonal wildflowers, and even glimpses of the Cape Arago Lighthouse. Charleston, a quaint fishing village just 2.5 miles away, adds a cultural touch with opportunities for crabbing, clamming, and fresh seafood. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, Sunset Bay State Park stands as a coastal gem that combines natural wonder with thoughtful amenities.
