What campers say

Eel Creek Campground is a quiet, well‑kept spot right by the John Dellenback dune trail with easy access to Winchester Bay and Coos Bay. Sites feel private amid trimmed shrubs, making it good for tent campers and smaller RVs; larger rigs can fit but side clearance may be tight. There are potable water spigots, flush toilets and dumpsters, but no hookups or showers. Hosts are attentive and grounds are clean; nightly rates are modest (roughly low‑to‑mid‑$20s) and booking is online. A practical drawback is some rough, dip‑prone access roads that can collect standing water after rain.

📖 About This Campground

Eel Creek Campground in sits among coastal shrubbery on the edge of the sandy dunes within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The campground provides a peaceful and attractive atmosphere for hikers and birders. The most popular non-motorized trail here is the John Dellenback Dunes Trail, which guides hikers through the scenic dunes to the Pacific beach. This section of dunes features spectacular heights and stunning, expansive vistas.
The campground is divided into a north loop and a south loop. Amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, fire rings, and a self pay station. A campground host is available and an amphitheater sits between the two loops. This campground has 51 reservable sites.
Most sites are secluded and private due to dense shrubbery like rhododendrons and salal. Sites 7, 8, 42, and 43 are perched on the sand of the dunes. The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is known for its wind-sculpted sand dunes towering up to 500 feet above sea level.
The John Dellenback Dunes Trail takes hikers on a 2.7-mile (one way) trek from a conifer forest across the open dunes to the beach at the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, hikers will be treated to expansive views of the surrounding landscape. This hike makes for an incredible workout, due to tall dunes and soft sand. Quality wildlife watching is also available at the campground.
