We loved Sunset Bay State Park and we would definitely come again. Our trailer got the campsite and full hookups were great.
The lookout points in the park were fantastic and we enjoyed hiking.
The sunset was marvellous and our children enjoyed hunting for clams and sea anemones.

First, there is no dump station at this park despite it being listed in the amenities section. Have notified Campendium to correct. Full hookup sites are available. We arrived with full tanks and needed to dump prior to going to our E&W only site. Ranger said they do not have one. The county park up the road a bit will let you dump for $10. It is up a very steep hill and located towards the back of the campground.
Overall, it is a very nice park. A little tight, but there is a large amount of well trimmed vegetation including large rhododendron bushes between sites. Will be beautiful when they bloom. Our site had quite a slant to it so we could not stay hooked up for the night. Most of the sites are short. Would have had trouble putting our 26 footer on most of them.
Fire wood is available for purchase. There is an decent interpretive center. There are yurts to rent! No T-Mobile service.

We were there in April, easy to get a spot, nice places with hedges, but showers where cold. I hope they fix them soon. We had no Verizon service, no Wi-Fi on the site either. Staff was great and very friendly.

I stayed here the first week in December 2021 coming down the Oregon coast photographing seascapes. What a really nice spot close to Shore Acres State Park. Although the surf was not what I had hoped for it’s a beautiful spot and lovely botanical garden. Definitely will come back. The park was clean and friendly.

This is an older state park but pretty well maintained. Close to the ocean but the access path was flooded out. Several hosts at the ready and park rangers cruising around. The campsites are generously sized with good foliage separation. One gripe is that there is no pumpout for the electric sites. Most parks have this as you exit.

Loved that we had privacy on our driver side and didn’t need to pull down the blinds! Bigs rig’s may find it tough to park. We have a 40’ fifth wheel and it was very tricky to fit in the spot. Luckily we arrived right at check in and the spot across was opened, which we needed to utilize in order to back into our spot.would recommend this for a quiet getaway.

This is a sweet little campground that has the bay in fairly easy walking distance, a State Park with a botanic garden down the road and another state park with incredible sea lion viewing a little farther down the road. Not the nicest or most modern in terms of amenities but nothing to complain about. It has a little learning area/interpretive center but it wasn't open when we were there.
Sunset Bay is shallow, fairly warm (by Oregon standards) and has some great tidepools and rock formations. I can see that it would get quite busy in nicer weather, it was drizzly and foggy most of the time we were there. Highly recommend going to Cape Arago to see the sea lions and seals. And the Shore Acres garden was cool too, as was the viewpoint to the Cape Arago lighthouse. Coos Bay wasn't really all that interesting, a short boardwalk but stick close to the park there's plenty to do.

The sites were "ok" - smallish and nothing to write home about, BUT the walking to the bay, the greenery, the creek and a really nice ranger that "allowed" us to let our old Lab off leash for about 15 minutes on the beach when NO ONE was around made it great! A very cool bay - pretty day use area.
