Bullards Beach State Park

Located just north of Bandon, Bullard’s Beach State Park offers a diverse coastal experience across 2,320 acres. The park is situated at the mouth of the Coquille River, where the landscape transitions from sandy beaches to coastal forests. This setting provides a variety of recreational opportunities, including hiking, horseback riding, and beachcombing. The park features over 11 miles of multi-use trails that wind through the dunes and forest, accommodating hikers, bikers, and horseback riders.

Visitors can explore the historic Coquille River Lighthouse, which stands as a landmark near the river’s confluence with the ocean. The park also offers direct access to the river for fishing and boating, as well as opportunities for crabbing and whale watching along the shore. For those seeking accommodation, the park provides 206 campsites, including 13 yurts and 103 sites with full hookups. Reservations are required for camping and can be made up to six months in advance.

The campground is situated among shore pines, offering a sheltered environment for campers. Amenities include flush toilets, showers, and an RV dump station. The park is open year-round, though quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM to ensure a peaceful environment for all guests. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash. This combination of natural beauty and accessible facilities makes Bullard’s Beach a popular destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts.
