This Might Just Be The Most Beautiful Campground In All Of Oregon

Located on the Oregon Coast near Coos Bay, Sunset Bay State Park is even more magical than its name suggests. This unique area is home to a stunning crescent-shaped beach, rugged cliffs, hiking trails, tide pools, and a gorgeous campground where you can spend the night surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
