Sutton Campground

Can a campground feel both secluded and yet perfectly situated for coastal exploration? Sutton Campground, nestled within the dense, moss-draped forest of the Siuslaw National Forest, combines unparalleled immersion in Oregon’s coastal wilderness with proximity to iconic attractions. Just 1.5 miles from Sutton Beach and 2 miles from the tranquil waters of Sutton Lake, this year-round campground is an ideal base for nature enthusiasts seeking a serene retreat without sacrificing access to outdoor adventures.

The campground features 77 campsites suitable for tents, trailers, and RVs, some with electric hookups, spread across four loops for a range of group sizes and preferences. Privacy is a hallmark here, thanks to the thick stands of Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, and coastal vegetation surrounding each site. Amenities include drinking water, flush toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, though note that there are no showers available. For recreation, the nearby Sutton Creek and Sutton Lake offer opportunities for swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, while hiking trails like the Sutton Creek Trail weave through dune landscapes, vibrant with rhododendrons and wildlife.

Located just 4 miles north of the charming town of Florence along Highway 101, Sutton Campground provides quick access to a variety of attractions within a 15-minute drive. Visit the sweeping sandscapes of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, Darlingtonia State Natural Site’s unique carnivorous plants, or explore the coastline at Heceta Beach and the famous Sea Lion Caves. With its peaceful forest setting and wealth of nearby adventures, Sutton Campground is a fantastic destination for weekend getaways or longer vacations, offering a quintessential coastal Oregon experience.
