Bullards Beach
Overview
Bullards Beach State Park offers a quintessential Oregon Coast camping experience just north of Bandon. Tucked away within a dense forest of shore pines, this large, well-maintained park provides a sheltered retreat from the coastal winds while remaining steps away from the rugged Pacific shoreline. It is one of the most popular coastal destinations for RVers seeking a balance of natural beauty and modern convenience. The park is open year-round, making it a reliable choice for both summer family vacations and quiet winter retreats along the scenic coastline.
Location & Surroundings
Situated along the scenic Coquille River, the park spans over 1,200 acres of diverse terrain, including dunes, grasslands, and forest. The park’s unique positioning protects the campsites from the brunt of the ocean breeze, creating a calm atmosphere for evening campfires. Visitors can easily access the expansive beach via a paved path or explore the winding banks of the river, which is a prime spot for crabbing and fishing throughout the year. The park is conveniently located just a two-mile drive from the heart of Bandon.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground is designed with RVers in mind, offering over 100 full-hookup sites and nearly 80 sites with electricity and water. Each site features a paved pad, fire ring, and picnic table to ensure a comfortable stay. The park provides essential facilities including clean restrooms, hot showers, and a convenient dump station for guest use. For those traveling with horses, there is even a dedicated horse camp with access to miles of beach trails. Paved roads throughout the loops make the park exceptionally easy to navigate for big rigs.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The historic Coquille River Lighthouse is the park's crown jewel, located at the end of the beach road and offering a glimpse into maritime history. Just a short drive away, travelers can explore Old Town Bandon for local boutiques, art galleries, and fresh seafood. Outdoor enthusiasts often visit the Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge for world-class birdwatching or head to nearby championship golf courses that line the dramatic coastline. Hiking and biking trails weave throughout the park, offering endless opportunities for coastal exploration.
Who This Park Is Best For
Bullards Beach is an ideal choice for family vacationers and nature lovers who enjoy a structured and safe state park environment. Its spacious layout and level paved paths make it perfect for cyclists and those traveling in larger motorhomes who require easy access. Because of its proximity to the river and ocean, it is also a top pick for anglers and beachcombers looking for a serene coastal escape.

We stayed at one of the yurts. It was nice. The bathrooms were clean. There are showers as well. Many places to explore around both north and south.

We enjoy visiting this park when we are camping on the coast. The staff and volunteers can't be beat, and the facilities are clean. If I had to be critical, I'd say the sites are very close to each other and if you want water, electric, AND sewer hookups you have to be very careful when choosing your site on the website. The dump station is handy if you don't. Lots of hiking and bike riding, as well as a gorgeous beach and lighthouse.

This campground was very well-maintained and had decent privacy in most of the campsites. Bathrooms we well maintained, clean and definitely have been updated or recently. Handicap restroom and shower were also available in each of the restroom/shower buildings. Some sides appear to have better accessibility with pavement around the fire pit instead of just dirt and grass. There was some boat parking at the front of the campground – probably something that needs to be reserved ahead of time. There were several Yurts that would be great for people who do not want to deal with a tent or camper available also. A loop was more open with less privacy between the campsites. B Loop and C loop had lots of different good site options. The campground provided different information or educational programs each day. There is a permanent cornhole game that is set up, but you have to bring your own beanbags. Beach access was not as great as we hoped. It was about a mile to the beach from the campsite. There was good parking if people wanted to drive. We found most of the week the beach was extremely windy the point straight out from the campground. We went across the river to the beach near Bandon and felt like it was more sheltered. The town of Bandon was very fun to visit. Tony’s crab shack had great food and even a pet crab named Walter, who was friendly! Overall, a fun experience, just not a big fan of all the wind, but on the Oregon coast, you kinda have to expect that.
