About Eel Creek Campground

Campground in Oregon.

Eel Creek Campground sits along the scenic Highway 101 corridor in North Bend, Oregon, offering RV travelers direct access to one of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular coastal regions. This National Forest campground serves as an ideal basecamp for exploring the dramatic Oregon coastline, where rugged sea cliffs, sandy beaches, and lush temperate rainforest create a landscape unlike anywhere else in the country.

The campground's location puts you within minutes of some of Oregon's most iconic natural attractions. Cape Perpetua, one of the highest points on the Oregon coast, rises majestically just a short drive away and offers breathtaking ocean vistas, tide pools teeming with marine life, and miles of hiking trails suitable for various skill levels. The nearby town of Yachats provides charming local shops and restaurants where you can experience authentic coastal Oregon culture. For those interested in maritime history and wildlife, the Sea Lion Caves, America's largest sea cave, showcases thousands of wild Steller sea lions in their natural habitat and remains a must-see attraction in the region.

Eel Creek itself provides excellent opportunities for fishing and exploring creekside trails, allowing you to immerse yourself in the temperate rainforest ecosystem. The area's misty mornings and dramatic coastal weather patterns create an authentic Pacific Northwest experience that photographers and nature enthusiasts find endlessly inspiring. Nearby state parks offer additional trail systems, picnic areas, and viewpoints perfect for day trips from your RV.

This location appeals to a wide range of travelers. Outdoor adventurers will appreciate the abundance of hiking and exploration opportunities, while photographers will find endless subjects in the dramatic coastal landscape and changing light conditions. Families enjoy the relatively accessible attractions and the chance to explore tide pools and beaches. Those seeking a peaceful retreat from busier tourist areas will find the quieter stretches of coastline accessible from this location offer tranquility and natural beauty.

The combination of forest campground serenity with proximity to some of Oregon's most visited natural wonders makes Eel Creek Campground a strategic location for discovering why the Oregon coast captivates so many visitors throughout the year.

Great campground! Sydney, the host (Summer 2025) was so friendly! The grounds themselves were spotless and my neighbors were very respectful and quiet! 🙌 There are other campgrounds in the area with lots of ATVs…this was NOT one of them. There’s NO out-of-state fee for booking a site, but you must book online. I paid $22/night plus a one time reservation fee of $8 in the summer of 2025. No hook... Great campground!

There’s NO out-of-state fee for booking a site, but you must book online. I paid $22/night plus a one time reservation fee of $8 in the summer of 2025. No hook-ups, but there are several dumpsters, potable water spigots and flush toilet bathrooms scattered around the campground. During my 3 day visit, there were lots of tent campers and small RVs (under 25”). The sites are smaller and lots appear to be back in, I could imagine the large trees would make parking difficult for huge RVs with slides 🤷‍♀️ . **IF YOU NEED SOLAR** Sites 4, 5, 6, 9, and 46 seem to get a lot of sunlight. Otherwise the sites are shaded by beautifully established trees. I’ll attach some of the good “solar” sites for reference. Cell service: Verizon worked flawlessly throughout campground.

The most amazing place. Friendly staff, decent facilities (but no showers). The dunes nearby are absolutely surreal. I will be back.

We stayed for a week in our 30' class A, and it was what we expected. It was never too busy, and the site was plenty big enough for our vehicles to fit (although the side clearance was close with slides out). We really liked that every site was mostly private but several of the sites you can get through the bushes to your neighbor. The bathrooms were VERY clean, and the hosts kept everything order...

The only suggestion I have for improvement would be to improve the road itself. There are many sizeable dips that flooded during our stay and left about 12" of standing water. If you want your own private access to dunes and a quick drive to most conevniences, this is a great campground. Highly recommend

Very quiet and relaxing. Each site is private with plenty of space. There are bathrooms. No hookups at the sites. $25 a night which is great when there is little to no boondocking in this area.

This is a beautiful little campground. Everything is well groomed and the bushes look like they have all been trimmed up. Very quiet (during the week, don't know about week-ends), and you hear no road noise from Hwy 101. This is a great location to venture out from. A trip to Coos Bay and a cruise down Cape Arago Highway is not that far away. Just outside the entrance and about a quarter of a mile... This is a beautiful little campground.

This is a great location to venture out from. A trip to Coos Bay and a cruise down Cape Arago Highway is not that far away. Just outside the entrance and about a quarter of a mile down the road is a Dollar General. Outside of the Dollar General store you have to drive into Coos Bay or Reedsport to do any shopping. Reserve America does a great job in showing pictures of each of the sites. Getting in and out of here with a big rig is not a problem. Very high clearances, but be aware of which site you choose. Some won’t work for bigger rigs. For those of you with solar panels be aware that not all of the sites are sunny. I would avoid at all cost site #44. It looks like the sand dune behind the campground has completely taken over this site. The Geo coorindinates for the entrance is: 46.587047, -124.184396 Now there are a few negative things to report. One is the water situation here. This campground has been without water for some time now, so the bathrooms are closed and portable toilets have been put up. If you are a fully self contained RV camper this won’t be a problem. There is a state park about a mile north of this place that provides water and a dump station at no charge, so it is easy to fill up there before coming into the campground. The pavement is sinking in places.  The dips can be hard to see,  so drive very slowly, otherwise you might get a good jolt. A great place to camp. Cozy and quiet.
