Located 2 miles from Charleston and 30 miles from Bandon. From Hwy 101 N or S, turn W on Commercial Ave. Continue W for approx 1/4 mi and turn L (S) onto 7th Street. Make 1st R onto Central Ave. After approx. 1/2 mi, bear R onto Ocean Blvd and follow it for 2.5 miles to a L turn onto Newmark St. Follow Newmark until it curves L at the water & becomes Arago Hwy. After crossing drawbridge, continue for another 1.8 miles & entrance is on R immediately Bastendorf Beach Rd.
This was our first family camping trip and the first beach experience for our kids. We enjoyed it soo much! Driving through Southern Oregon was beautiful, and then we arrived at this breathtaking beach. Staff was friendly and even recommended the best tent site. The view was spectacular. The water was a little cold but not enough to stop our kids from swimming. The tide pools are a must-see. Sunsets did not disappoint, and waking up and falling asleep to the waves crashing made us want to stay even longer.
We will be back for sure ☺️
I had tentsite T10, a lovely ocean view!
It was just my 2 person tent, so that fit fine. Included a picture from the road, it's semi private, you can see my tent and table but the tree coverage was nice. Parking is down in the rocks.
Location is beautiful, we camped on the beach. I have 3 stars for "rooms" because campsites are a bit close. One group pitched their tent in the walkway path to other campsites. Bathrooms were well kept for the most part. Some people are slobs, so "housekeeping" did what they could. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
We have loved coming to this place for years and just brought our new behemoth trailer and have no problem navigating the park. Also the best dog friendly park we've been to. The staff are friendly as well and have lots of knowledge about all the great places and things to do in the area. They also continue to do upgrades to the park which is really nice from the 1st time we visited.
