b.side motel+rv

Seriously the best RV park I’ve ever stayed in. Management is responsive and friendly, Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, location is excellent for visiting Old Town Bandon and the beaches in town and north of town. The grounds and facilities are quiet, modern, and serene. It’s like staying in a high-end boutique hotel. The whole place has a kind of zen vibe to it that is addictive. I booked for a week, added another because I didn’t want to leave, and would have stayed longer if I didn’t have commitments. Did I mention dog friendly? My dog loved it too!

Wayside is a surprising gem just outside of Bandon. The park has 8 RV spots and several tent camping sites as well. It operates behind a small motel which they also run.

There’s not much to say about the location, it’s neither scenic nor private, but don’t let that deter you. It’s walking distance from groceries and amenities and a (longer but still doable) walk into Old Town.

We stayed in site number 8, which is located on the end of the row backing up to a couple of houses and bordered on the other side by a cemetery. The site was mostly level and had convenient and well maintained hookups. The park has some ambient road noise from Hwy 101 but nothing overly noticeable.

As other reviewers have noted, this park is quiet, even despite being full and the sites somewhat close. What a treat to have such a convenient and quiet location so close to all the fun Bandon has to offer! The decor is charming, with string lights throughout the park, flowers and picnic tables. Cell reception is good and the wi-fi is the best we’ve encountered in an RV park. We were able to stream Netflix with no issues.

The owners sold the park to new ownership at the end of August, but the new owners seem to be on top of things already. We were greeted on arrival, advised on where to find the best tacos, and given a bottle of wine. What hospitality!

We highly recommend this little spot!

Five stars is not enough! We were fortunate enough to try one of the RV spots behind the Motel (there are 8 of them(, and are we glad we did. We were assigned site #5 and the owner operators, Nicole and Dave were so gracious to help us back into the spot. Full hook-ups were a snap not only by the way the utilities were laid out, but how clean they were. Wifi is strong and cell coverage very good. The place is quiet and homey with plenty of space for our car too along with a nice table and benches. Nicole and Dave have a design aesthetic that makes the micro park feel like you belong, it is very quaint! The laundry and shower facilities were immaculately clean with many sweet touches you would only expect from owners that care. The grounds were very clean blending into the serenity you feel when you're there. This was partly attributable to the design layout, and partly caused by the great neighbors we had on either side of us. Nicole even put potted flowers on every table on Mother's Day. Most of the good comfort and relaxation we felt came from the obvious care and thoughtfulness of Nicole and Dave. We are already checking our calendar out for an opportunity to return. Thanks Nicole and Dave, you made your little oasis our favorite destination!

The owners and staff of a campground set the tone for the overall experience, and Nicole, David and their staff make this a fantastic campground.Our dog Bella loved them too, so you know they're okay!

They maintain a super clean facility and have added tons of charming features. There are two very clean and well-maintained restroom/shower/laundries, in addition to full hook-ups for eight RV sites.

They also provide great information on local restaurants and activities. You can walk to downtown Bandon and the National Seashore from here, as well as grocery and coffee.

Our experience was great and we will be back.

Melanie and I left our great quarantine spot in Sisters, Oregon less than a week ago. We were in Eugene, Oregon for a few days then, on the advice of John and Susan, who I met at Windy Gap along the Mckenzie Scenic Highway while in Sisters, we made reservations in Bandon at Bandon Wayside, a spot recommended most recently with 5 stars on the Campendium website.

The RV park is small, they refer to it as "Micro," with 8 full-hook up sites located behind the motel. A privacy fence surrounds the property and for those of you who enjoy a hippie cocktail:

"Guests are invited to walk around and relax around the property. Enjoy a self-made happy hour at one of our sunny picnic tables. For folks who enjoy cannabis have a seat in our open air Cannabis Cabin or if you are a tobacco smoker we have a open air covered seating area for you too. Please note that smoking and vaping are only permitted in designated areas. All rooms and the RV park are smoke and vape free."

RV guests have the use of two well-appointed bathrooms, both with a washer and dryer. They've thought of everything you may need, individual face cloths, facial tissues, Myers hand soap, individual bath mats, etc. In the time of pandemic I should add, they are very well-kept and cleaned regularly with sanitizer available for wiping surfaces.

The park is located within walking distance of a food market and we easily biked into old town Bandon and down the coast to Bandon South Jetty Park and Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge among other places.

David and Nicole are great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.

Nicole suggested a local favorite restaurant, Alloro Wine Bar & Restaurant, for take-out dinner since they are not yet open for dine-in service. They're offering 30% off in May and they deliver. We await dinner as I type.

I picked this place even without reviews because I loved their website. The owners were so helpful and friendly. They have put a ton of work into this little gem and we were lucky to have found it. The laundry and shower/ bathroom were so clean that I felt great about washing all of our bedding and clothes from being on the road for 10 days. The showers were hit and so clean that I could actually enjoy it and not rush! I highly recommend this park to anyone traveling through Bandon. There is a very nice taxi driver that will come and pick you up from camp and take you into the little town for 7 bucks!
