About
Eel Creek Campground provides a peaceful basecamp for exploring the towering sand dunes of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. Located 10 miles south of Reedsport along Highway 101, the campground features 51 sites divided between north and south loops. Dense shrubbery including rhododendrons and salal creates natural privacy between most sites, while sites 7, 8, 42, and 43 sit directly on the sand for a more exposed dune experience. The main attraction is the John Dellenback Dunes Trail, which takes hikers on a 2.7-mile trek from the conifer forest across spectacular open dunes reaching up to 500 feet in elevation before arriving at the Pacific beach. The soft sand makes for a challenging workout. Birding and wildlife watching opportunities abound in this unique coastal ecosystem. Amenities include flush toilets, potable drinking water, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. A campground host is on-site and an amphitheater sits between the two loops. No hookups or showers are available. Nearby Eel Lake and Tenmile Lake offer fishing and boating opportunities, and Umpqua Lighthouse State Park with its historic 1890 lighthouse is a short drive away.
