Port Of Siuslaw Campground & Marina
Overview
The Port of Siuslaw Campground & Marina offers a distinct coastal experience situated right on the banks of the Siuslaw River. As a facility managed by the local port district, it provides a unique blend of maritime activity and traditional camping comfort. Visitors can enjoy watching commercial and recreational boats navigate the harbor while relaxing at their campsites. This park serves as a welcoming gateway for travelers exploring the rugged beauty of the central Oregon coast, offering a peaceful yet active atmosphere that feels connected to the sea.
Location & Surroundings
This campground boasts a premier location within walking distance of Historic Old Town Florence. Guests can easily stroll from their RV to explore local art galleries, boutique shops, and waterfront dining. The park is nestled where the river meets the town, providing scenic views of the historic Siuslaw River Bridge. The surrounding environment is characterized by the coastal estuary landscape, offering a mix of saltwater air and freshwater river vistas that change beautifully with the daily tides.
Amenities & Park Features
The park caters to various camping styles with a range of site options to accommodate different needs. Features include full hookup RV sites with both 30 and 50-amp service, alongside partial hookup and dry camping areas. Practical amenities like clean restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities ensure a comfortable multi-day stay. A standout feature is the public boat launch and marina, which allows campers to bring their own vessels and enjoy direct water access for fishing, crabbing, or pleasure cruising right from the park.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure seekers will appreciate being minutes away from the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, famous for its massive sand formations and off-road opportunities. Fishing enthusiasts can take advantage of seasonal salmon runs or try their luck crabbing from the public docks. A short drive north leads to the iconic Heceta Head Lighthouse and the popular Sea Lion Caves. Whether you prefer hiking through coastal forests or beachcombing along the Pacific shore, the options for outdoor recreation are diverse and accessible.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for RVers who value convenience and walkability during their travels. It is a perfect fit for boaters and anglers who want to be steps away from a professional marina. Travelers who enjoy being part of a vibrant local community rather than isolated in a remote forest will find the proximity to Florence’s shops and restaurants rewarding. It serves as an excellent central base camp for explorers looking to discover the many landmarks of the central Oregon coastline.

This camper ground is right by the river and just a walk or biker ride into town for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Bathrooms were clean, very safe place, and the camp host were very nice. Really enjoyed my time camping here and will be going back in a few weeks. I highly recommend camper here

Overall good campground for several nights. Most of the people come for fishing, so unfortunately not too many kids and activities. The river is stunning, you can spot harbor seals right by the shore.

The check-in process is smooth and the grounds are kept in good shape, however the spots are on the narrow side. The location has bathrooms with free showers for guests and a small laundromat available for a fee. You can also see a lot of wildlife here, like sea lions, squirrels, and birds. The only negative is the hookup situation at the spots, one in every three spots are on the correct side but every two are on the incorrect side of the rigs so things have to be run under your rig which is inconvenient. They do have a potable water fill up point right beside a non-potable fresh water spot so be sure to read the signs first, both for $0.25 for 5 minutes, however the hose for the potable water is very old and not possible to unscrew it to use your own hose…

We were lucky enough to get a spot for the Fourth of July weekend. This is fantastic because it gives you a front row seat to the fireworks! While others are defending their lawn chair spots a few hundred yards further away for hours on end, you’re relaxing in your campsite. Then, after the fireworks, you just turn around and continue enjoying your campfire and burgers whilst everyone else sits in traffic trying to leave the park for an hour.

Nice campground, great location, reasonable prices. I had a waterfront site and it was lovely. Site was level and everything worked as it should. (I didn't use the restrooms or showers but did use the laundry, which was clean and modern.) Short walk to town, with tons to do. I enjoy going to the Laughing Crab wine bar and it's nice to be a short walk from "home" after a few glasses of wine and live music :)
