Eel Creek Campground
Hosted by USDA Forest Service
New listing
Eel Creek Campground sits among coastal shrubbery on the edge of the sandy dunes within the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, providing 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 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, with expansive views of the surrounding landscape along the way. This hike makes for an incredible workout, due to tall dunes and soft sand. Quality wildlife watching is also available at the campground. The campground is divided into a north loop and a south loop, with 51 sites in total. Amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, picnic tables and fire rings. A campground host is available, and an amphitheater sits between the two loops. 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. Nearby, Umpqua Lighthouse State Park features a historic lighthouse, camping and hiking trails around Lake Marie. The Umpqua River Lighthouse stands on the site where the first lighthouse on the Oregon Coast was built in 1857; the current lighthouse dates back to 1890. Boating and fishing are available at Tenmile Lake and Eel Lake.
