Our Take
What makes Tyee Campground - Oregon Dunes special
Tyee Campground sits on the northern banks of the Siltcoos River, roughly six miles south of Florence in the heart of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The setting is a beautiful blend of coastal forest and river estuary, with sites tucked among shore pines and native shrubbery that give each spot a sense of seclusion. The Siltcoos River flows lazily past the campground on its way to the Pacific, creating a tranquil waterside atmosphere that defines the experience here. Water lovers will find plenty to do. The Siltcoos River is ideal for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing, while the nearby Siltcoos Lake offers additional paddling and warm-water angling. A network of trails leads from the campground area through the dunes to the beach, where miles of open sand and crashing surf await. The Waxmyrtle Trail is a popular choice for a moderate hike through diverse coastal habitats. Tyee is generally open from mid-May through September, with July and August offering the best weather along the Oregon coast. Reservations are recommended during peak summer months, especially around the Fourth of July. The charming town of Florence is just a short drive north for restaurants, galleries, and supplies. For families and paddlers looking for a campground where the river sets the pace, Tyee is an outstanding choice on the southern Oregon coast.
