Canyonville, OR to Bandon, OR

We'll be pulling from Canyonville to Bandon in early June and wondering how 42 off the 5 is?

    Well the locals know that when you take 42S you get what you get. Nobody I know gets mad at the RVs They bring money to the town we are glad to have them so feel free to use 42S as much as you like nobody around here is going to mind :)

  • 42 is fine. 42S is a bit narrow and a quite a few curves but very little traffic. I travel it all the time but the road is narrow and tight about 15 miles of it. If you are spooked by narrow roads when you get to Coquille instead of taking 42S just keep going straight on 42 into Coos Bay. Take a left when you get to Coos then follow the 101 signs back to Bandon. That will take you about 24 miles out of your way. But 101 is a straight shot to Bandon. If you go 42S just take her slow and you should have no problems at all.
