Sutton Campground is located just off the Pacific Coast in Oregon, 1.5 miles from Sutton Beach and 2 miles from Sutton Lake. Hiking is the most popular activity, but visitors also enjoy swimming in Sutton Creek, and fishing and boating on Sutton Lake.
Hiking is Sutton Campground's main draw. A number of trails provide access to nearby Alder Dunes and Sutton Lake. Wild berries, vibrant rhododendrons and picturesque sand dunes are located along the trails.
The Holman Vista Day Use Area and Holman Vista Trail are one mile west of the campground, providing an accessible viewing platform for memorable sunsets of the world's largest the ocean.
Boating, canoeing and fishing are popular activities at Sutton Lake. Anglers cast for yellow perch, largemouth bass, cutthroat trout and stocked rainbow trout. A boat ramp is located 2 miles away.
The campground offers single-family sites and group sites for overnight camping and day-use picnicking. Some sites offer electric hookups.
Picnic tables and campfire rings are provided, as are flush toilets and drinking water.
The campground is set among scenic coastal pine, Douglas-fir, spruce, wax myrtle and huckleberry trees within the Siuslaw National Forest. The Siuslaw extends across the lush forests of the coastal mountains to the Oregon Dunes and beaches of the Pacific Ocean.
Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area begins 15 minutes south of the campground visitors will find 40 miles of wind-sculpted, shifting sand dunes. The area is known for its off-road opportunities, but it also offers accessible trails and beach access. Enjoy Darlingtonia State Natural Site, Heceta Beach, Sea Lion Caves and old town Florence, all within 10 miles of the campground.
From Florence, Oregon, take Highway 101 north 5 miles to the Sutton Campground turnoff and go one mile to the campground.
We arrived with no reservation and found plenty of open spots in the A loop. The new camp host was super friendly. The beach trail is confusing and you apparently have to cross a creek in order to access it. We opted not to because of heavy rain. Also, our site A20 only has a 30 amp outlet, not 110.
Neat and tidy campground $28/night w/o electricity.
Easy and quick access from highway 101.
Adequate AT&T cell service, tho it did drop out about once an hour.
Comfortable tree canopy keeps the place comfortable.
Sites without electricity are about $28/night. With electricity are about 10 or 12 more per night.
Sites vary in size. Some can accommodate 40 to 50 foot rigs, some as short as 25 to 30 foot. The site I chose, the 'driveway' was on the wrong side of the site, so my trailer door was on the opposite side of where the picnic table was positioned. Not a biggie, but something to take note of when choosing a site.
Drive in, choose a site that has 'AVAILABLE' on it, then walk the few minutes back to registration to pay. Easy.
When I arrived, there were plenty of available spots.
I thought it was expensive for what I've seen around Oregon. Maybe that's why there were so many empty spots in the middle of August.
First time camping here and we didn't have a reservation but we were pleasantly surprised! Spaces are very clean and so are the bathrooms. Love the ways most sites are situated because it gives a lot of privacy to each one. We're tent camping so not sure how the hookups sites are but can imagine since they're full they must be good. Several very large group spots with their own bathrooms which seems really nice for groups with small kids that want to be separated for safety. Will definitely stay again.
Nicely kept CG.
Very clean, flush bathrooms.
Range of spots for all size rec. from tent to 30ft. Open spots & spots with a lot of bushes & tree cover!
We stayed on Loop D & there is a sand hill for kiddos & nice open field in the middle of the loop... FANTASTIC for group camping!
Little bit of 101 traffic sound but nothing super intrusive. I think I was bothered by maybe 3 bugs.
Will def be back! 🏕️😁
Great spot - campsites are nice and green with lots of trees. Both electric and non electric options. Some campsites are quite close so your neighbors could make or break your camping trip. No direct beach access here. Drinking water is available but not to fill RV tanks so plan ahead. No sewer dump. Great hosts during our stay.
A and B loops have no road noise from 101. C has a little, D has quite a bit.
