About

East Shore Campground is a small Bureau of Land Management facility located on the eastern shore of Loon Lake in Oregon's Coast Range, approximately 20 miles from Reedsport. The campground offers 6 shady campsites nestled among Douglas fir, western hemlock, and western red cedar trees. All sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis and include picnic tables, fire rings, and barbecue grills. Loon Lake covers 260 acres, reaches depths of 190 feet, and provides excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and swimming. A small day use area directly across the road offers convenient lake access for East Shore campers at no additional fee. The campground has vault toilets but no potable water, so campers must bring their own water supply. Site #6 is wheelchair accessible. The Oregon Coast is less than an hour away, with Winchester Bay and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area offering additional recreation including hiking, tidepooling, OHV riding, and beach access. Note that there is no cell phone coverage at Loon Lake.
