reserving sites

Also, have been told reservations are wise on the coast in Oregon even in September. How far in advance? Not wanting to hold ourselves to a strict schedule, what if we reserved about 4 days ahead of time? Do you think we'd have any problems getting a site, even in the state parks? Thanks in advance.
  • oops - It's Beachside that has no dump, the nearest state dump is at South Beach which has two and is a good Park but bigger and not as close to the beach, we prefer Beachside since site are right next to the beach. Henderson iis in FL, quite a ways from OR but a nice beachside park, I meant Harris Beach near Brookings. In Sep non-weekend you may be able to get a site with a great sea view.

    Maybe need reservation at the most popular places on the weekends in Sep but probably not during the week. Some have some non reserve sites, and some all reservation and there are a few no reservations at all. The OR Park site has the details. Best chance to get an site near the ocean is by doing a reservation. We like Beverly Beach, South Beach (no dump) and Henderson Beach, bu there are lots of good ones.



    South Beach has a dump station. Where is Henderson Beach?
  • During the week I'd be willing to bet you would have no problem at any of them. On a weekend though, then a few will be full. But there are enough places to stay on the coast that after Labor Day you won't have any trouble. I'd just wing it.

  • i have never had a problem finding a spot on the oregon coast after labor day.
    one time could not get into beverly beach but many other places near by.
  • I reserved my site for Honeyman State Park for August - last November, and all the great spots were already taken.

    You decide!
