What a great find! Camp sites were clean and camp hosts were very helpful and informative. They gave us great pointers on where to eat, where to see the best sunset and what hiking trails would be best to hike. Id gladly stay again.

Great places, gets a little pack when the sunset is closer to set, but overall its nice ! Many people swim in the water not to far because its very string tides. Some of the water is a bit dirty but only on the far ends of it. Sand has lots of tree bits... but it doesnt seem to be harmful since kids and adults walk without shoes or sandals. No masks are worn but many keep their distant. Did not stay for the sunset so I have no comment on that end.

Really neat place. I would love to explore around there during low tide or after a storm. Definently going back

My family and I stopped here for a few hours. The hiking was good and there are plenty of activities available: swimming, kayaking, volleyball and basketball. The bay itself is shallow at low tide, but good for wading. The terrain is quite interesting and close to other state parks.

What a beautiful and interesting park, love all the interesting rock formations, lovely place to visit....especiallyat low tide!!

Very nice. We chose a RV spot with tents and it was really nice cause we had power and a propane fire. Someone hit the water spout and the bathrooms shutdown for a little bit but 8/10 would camp again.

Me and my wife was there on the 23rd to the 26th must say could not use our cellphone BUT that’s a great thing got to recount and had a great time the camp host are the best was there when you needed them I will go back as much as we can an I will say if you want to get away go a get back to how life should be if I could give mor the five stars I would love it there

Always a great place to sit and play. Nearby hikes are awesome with fantastic ocean views

Absolutely beautiful!! So much to see close by (Cape Arago, Shore Acres, Simpson Reef). Were definitely going back next summer!!

This place really loves up to its name and its beautiful no matter the time of day

Nice campground and lots to do and see, including tidepools.

Beautiful area. Great place to find sea shells and a few crab shells. Beautiful views.

The campground is nice. Each site is fenced off with hedges. It seems to be very popular with families containing many children. The hedges are nice too stop kids from riding bikes through your site. The beach is also nice. We liked the view at the beach. The water is more calm because it is in a bay.

We are from Idaho, we camp along the Oregon coast every couple of years. Usually we wing it and stay wherever we can get in but this year we decided to make reservations.We googled best campgrounds on the Oregon coast and decided to camp places we can stay at least 3 days. So this was on the trip. We had a blast. The Oregon coast Id beautiful, the hiking is phenomenal for all levels. We hiked around the campgrounds in the mornings, hit the cove for paddle boards in the afternoons, sunsets on the beach or off the trails at Shore Acres.Of special interest was the number and diversity of the hiking trails. Such a great time seal watching, hiking and checking out the botanical gardens. Coos Bay is more of a working coastal town vs a tourist town so the shopping/seafood is better, less expensive and less pretentious then like Newport or Lincoln City

Beautiful scenery lots of open space

Beautiful small bay surrounded by forest. Great hiking trails around the headlands. One of my favorite places on the Iregon coast

This is a very lovely camping area with lots of privacy in many spots and trees for shade. Helpful staff. No connectivity.

Beautiful spot on the southern Oregon coast with a great campground and fantastic beach and tide pools tucked away in Sunset Bay. The sand gently slopes into the water and the Bay is totally protected, so the water is relatively warm and calm in the summer... quite unique in the Oregon coast. Picturesque sandstone cliffs topped with shore pines frame the beach and a few small sea rocks add interest to the view out to the open ocean. It wasnt particularly crowded when we visited, so made for a good coronavirus getaway.Most of the sites at the campground are well spaced and have some level of privacy. Its forested and very green in there. Walking distance from the beach along a paved path. Bathroom buildings were clean and in good repair.

Nice place to take kids mellow water and really pretty. Bring shovels and buckets for the kids great sand castle beach.

Very pretty. Sand was nice and he kids loved playing in it. Had some pretty cool hidden places to explore as well.

Nice day with a cool breeze. Such a fantastic view and a good hike.

Beautiful beach. A couple of seals where bobbing and hunting. Quite a few people who are not practicing social distance, not near as many a few days ago. Experienced the fog rolling over the top of the trees to envelope the beach. Amazing!! My Big, Big Daddy is an awesome artist and Creator.! So loved my time there. Oh yes, great bathrooms, a bonus!

The redwood tree roots that expose at low tide are one of the most magical things I have ever seen. One of my favorite spots.All the kids loved running around in the flats of these bays. Not too crowded when we went. Definitely worth the fee for a few hours to experience something very unique.

Beautiful place to watch sunset its in the name.plus its a good place to have a picnic and let the kids play

This is a small cove but dont let it fool you. Be careful of sneaker waves! Ample parking, restrooms and plenty of tide pools, swimming and sandcastle building to keep your little ones busy. Stay until sunset for some beautiful photos and memory making. Once again, watch for sneaker waves. Use common sense when on the beaches here on the Coast.

Easy to get to. Beautiful. Clean. Loved it!!

Great spot for families and coastal camping . Easy access to trails and tidepools.

Location 5 stars. Campsites. Small and close together. Bathrooms 4.5 stars. Clean. Warm water. Decent toiets.

Beautiful beach. Great for families!

Such a great area to get a hike in and check out the tide pools. Make sure to check if the water is safe beforehand. I have yet to camp here but I have hiked it a few times and I love it.

So pretty here... peace and quiet and no phone service to be bothered while you out with family and friends.

Lots of stuff to do and see: camping, hiking, tide-pooling, swimming, etc. The geology is fascinating and the biodiversity is incredible! You could easily spend an entire day here.

Off the beaten path. Nice hikes along the coast. Wonderful protected bay.

This course is so beautiful. I reccomend it to everyone.and the staff are incredibly nice.

Lovely campsite. Bathroom and trash nearby and easy to find in the dark. Wood available for a fire in the pit. Small stream running by, lots of greenery and trees and a nice flat site for the tent. Table and benches near the fire pit to eat at - we roasted baked potatoes in foil on the fire.Nearby to beautiful beaches and walks.

Of course the weather was perfect, but Ill need to come back here to camp.

Love this area. Its nice and clean. Easy walk to bathrooms. We had such a great day there.

Great beach. State park is so-so, and showing its age, but adequate. nearby shore acres state park is also worth a visit for the view and the stroll through the elaborate gardens.

Perfectly framed and protected beach.

What a wonderfully simple campground! The weather was wonderful for July and the hiking terrific. The campground was close to the Bay and of good size. We will be back!

Absolutely beautiful! Great camp ground and easy access to the beach!

This is now my daughters favorite beach. The walk to the beach was great. It had a nice little area to relax and plenty of things to do.

Sunset Bay State Park is beautiful from land and sea.From the beach, the tide rolls gently on protected by the cove, with plenty of sand to relax or play depending on your objective.From the ocean the beauty is raw and powerful, with the surf crashing against the coves protective barrier.Mid-week was a great time to visit, the solitude amplifying the serenity of the place.Weather was exceptional for October, but inclement weather could be a factor the views and physical comfort.

70 mph winds, huge crashing waves, very impressive place to see natures wrath tamed by mother Earth.

Absolutely beautiful views! Breathtaking! We WILL return!

Beautiful beach with awesome rock formations. Look for the tidal pools and tree roots and stumps at low tide.

Nice place. Pretty area to stop off for a rest. I HIGHLY recommend taking 7 Devils road if you are wanting a pretty view. The Yoakam park is better if you have a while to play with the kids at low tide (beautiful tide pools with Goby fish and various crabs and anemones).This place had a pretty view and I can imagine what it looks like with the sun setting.

Wonderful place! The area is sheltered from the wind, which makes it much more enjoyable.

Absolutely beautiful today.

Fantastic spot easy parking but I can see it filling up. Water was great and shallow.

Wow! What a hidden gem this place is. A state park that was so beautiful we could hardly believe it. So many trails close by to walk on and extremely kind Camp hosts! Firewood is sold for $5 a bundle and they even deliver it straight to your campsite. We had blackberries growing at the back of our campsite and delighted in picking fresh berries. We had a cute little bunny you also like to visit our site. Chipmunks and squirrels are in abundance as well. Absolutely loved this place!Reservations in advance are a must! We had space 35 in Loop B and we were delighted with it!

Water shoes are essential if you climb over the rock on the right side of the last entrance. But we had fun finding cold rocks, crabs and even a few shells

Quick stop for a walk in the water. Nice!

Covid is in full force and not one person was wearing a mask and everyone was close as the beach was crowded. Otherwise it probably would have been nice

The image of the campsite looked fine, but was misleading. These sites are very close together, and it felt more like living in a homeless camp than actually camping. The site was poorly maintained, when we arrived there was old dog poop and fruit snacks wrappers in the site. There were no fires allowed at all, which made for a cold and miserable trip. Since its 30 degrees colder at this campground than it is in the next town over, its not worth camping here without a heat source, so do yourself a favor and dont go during fire season. There were also groups of unattended kids and their bicycles everywhere, blocking the road to cars several times. The bathrooms are hit or miss for toilet paper so be prepared to bring your own. We actually gave up the money we had already paid, packed up early and left (and will not be coming back).Two stars for location, there were some beautiful viewpoints and beaches nearby.

Pretty place, tide pools and wildlife. Watch out, tides come in fast in this area. You may get stranded or very wet getting back to your car.

Really awesome beach, but its a long drive to get there.

This place is beautiful Tent camping and full hook ups But you must have a reservation

Gorgeous. The water was warmer than anywhere else weve been in northern California. Beautiful bay. Not crowded.

One of my favorite spot to camp in Oregon. Tucked in off the beach a little bit makes the atmosphere great and mellow usually. The bay and surrounding areas are awesome for hiking, light biking, and water activities, and exploring. Beautiful spot!

Beautiful! Perfect beach for kids. Super safe in a little bay. Not too crowded and perfect water temp.

Little Beach, great for swimming and sun bathing, beach combing!

Always a pleasure. When timed right you can explore the tidepools and caves before the tide co n es back in

Nice small area. Good beach sand with a nice view. Need better directions to it though.

We live in a very beautiful part of the world!

Stunning, clean. A nice place to go with the family or like we did, just the two of us and the dog.Lots of picnic tables to eat and restrooms to use.There is a covered heated gazebo with sinks ect.

Psssst! Come close and I will tell you a secret...this is one of the best state parks in Oregon...but dont tell anyone else

Easy access, clean, very quiet park, lots of trails, fire rings and the beach was a lot of FUN!

Lovely scenery. Across the street from the bay. Only bad part is it’s a total dead zone. No cell service right after passing the sunset bay sign but cell service isn’t that important.

Wonderful to visit off-season (April). Quiet, gorgeous. Highly recommend hiking the coastal trail south to Shore Acres--the views were absolutely stunning.

Ive camped here a couple times during road trips. Nece for that. The scenery is good for photography. I have one of my favorite photographs from there. Lots of stuff you can shoot from the road or just short walks from it. Quick drives to other parks/beaches with grand views.

This place is great water was nice in warm near shore it gets colder the further you go out good place to take the kids.

Beautiful sunny day at the park. It has beautiful grounds and well kept trails. The trees shelter the grounds from too much wind. On the trails, there are beautiful sites to see around every corner. A little dangerous for young kids to be left unattended - Steep bluffs with unsupported ledges. There are several little coves with amazing rock outcroppings.

Our stay at Sunset Bay State Park was an enjoyable time. With a short visit to the Charleston Visitors Center we discovered that there are plenty of thinks to do and see. With a Tide Chart in hand were able to enjoy the Tide Pools @ Sunset Beach. A short drive took us to South Slough National Estuarine Resesrch Reserve; Charleston Marine Life Center, Cape Argo Lighthouse, Shore Acres State Park whic occupies the magnificent bluff-top site of an old lumber baron’s estate, where you can enjoy a grand formal gardens and amazing ocean views. There are several great places to enjoy a locally caught seafood meal. The park itself is very old and not in very good shape. Our visit was in the middle of May so I suspect that they will be more active with freshening up the sites soon. The Stat Park staff were very enthusiastic and engaging. Overall, we had a nice time.

Great bay for playing in the water and some great tide pools when the tide goes out!

The hike was amazing. You get to see cliffs, see some amazing waves crash upon the rocks you walk along, and just experience what the coast is like and why its such a beautiful place to visit...

Clean beach felt like it was a good safe place for my young kids to play

The most beautiful sunset we witnessed the entire trip!

Beautiful sunsets,good beach for dogs small or little.plus it is great for kids ranging from 2 _ 9 years old.

Sunset Bay is the single most amazing place I have ever gone camping. The rangers are helpful and kind to everyone there.The short walk to the bay, by way of a cool underground tunnel, is only about 10 minutes away from the D loop. Other loops like A, B, and C are only 6 minutes away.There is a special trail in C loop that will lead you to a highway, once you are there you need to cut through another part of wood. Last time I was there, me and my family places stick arrows to point people that came there in the right direction.

Beautiful State Park right on the ocean. A little tight, but very clean and well maintained. Lots to see and do close by.

Beautiful sunsets and the water is warmer so you actually swim. Sometimes there are higher than normal levels of ecoliforms present but the advisory is usually posted.

This camp sight has been one of the best I ever Ben to I drive over 600 miles when I go there 3 to 4 times a year and I dont care what people say bad about it I would stay there before I would say at any other prices r right staff is the best and camping spots r great I would highly recommend them to everyone and whats really nice they r extremely helpful to the disabled keep up the good work staff

Great spot for a lovely hike and lunch

Beautiful place for families to get out and have fun outdoors

Beautiful view come here if youre ever in oregon

Well. This is without a doubt a must see it varies on view by the time of year weather. But keep coming you will experience the most beautiful sunsets and. Vibrant skies. Im happy

A nice large beach, safe for kids. Fun ride pools at low tide. A bit crowded.

Sunset bay is amazing!! Please be mindful of sea anemones and other marine life as this is a GEM and should be treated as such!!

Sunset Bay State Park is a wonderful example of Oregon tide pools. It was fun or everybody of all ages in our family.

Great tide pool among the cliffs!

Tent sites are rather small in most cases, and the tent pads most dirt or gravel. There is plenty of beautiful, rugged scenery and easy access to some good paddling and surfing locations. Within an easy drive of Coos Bay and North Bend. Restrooms have hot water and showers, and sites have fire rings. There are ranger talks.

We traveled north on Beaver Hill Road from Bullard, Or to this park and wished we had stayed on Hwy 101 to North Bend instead. Beaver Hill Road is very narrow, twisty, has no turnouts, and goes through active logging region. The state park campground is right off Cape Arago Hwy. The beach is an easy walk from the campground on a level trail. Sunset Bay is shallow so when the tide is out the bay is partially mud flats but also sandy with great views. We did not find a boat ramp on the bay. Some campsites had steep hills for the first several feet others were nice and level. The gate house was staffed, and the park is in fairly good repair. There are some old tables that need to be replaced. There are high bushes between sites providing privacy There is a nice, indoor interpretive center in the campground with daily programs offered in July when we visited. There is a network of hiking trails nearby but no information on distances or difficulty. There are additional day use state parks close by that are worth visiting – Shore Acres offers fabulous views and a wonderful botanical garden; Simpson Reef offers views of a seal colony off shore.

Offered a quick stretch on the sand with less wind than Bastendorf beach.

Love this beach! Its perfect to take the kids!

Beautiful, protected and so close!

So much diversity. Not just beach and wind

Fun place bring your own fire wood youll need it

Dog Friendly, easy walking, lots of small waves for the kids.

Calm n beautiful, and a good place to paddle board n kyak
