About
Sunset Bay State Park occupies a stunning location on Oregon's southern coast, where a crescent-shaped sandy beach is protected by dramatic sandstone cliffs. The campground sits a short walk from the beach and offers diverse accommodations: 30 full-hookup sites with sewer, electricity, and water; 35 electric sites with water; 65 tent sites with water nearby; 8 yurts (4 pet-friendly); hiker/biker camping; and 2 group tent camps available seasonally from May 15 through September 30. Facilities include flush toilets and hot showers for registered campers, firewood available for purchase, and a meeting hall. Three campsites and three yurts are ADA accessible. The park connects via hiking trails to Shore Acres State Park with its botanical gardens and Cape Arago State Park, offering coastal forest scenery, seasonal wildflowers, and ocean vistas. The beach is popular for swimming, fishing, and beachcombing in the protected cove. Reservations are accepted up to 6 months in advance through Oregon State Parks' reservation system. A parking permit is required throughout the Sunset Bay, Shore Acres, and Cape Arago state park complex.
