Just a couple of days before the Memorial Day weekend, the BLM office in Coos Bay says it’s opening several campgrounds and recreation sites.
The Coos Bay district includes ten campgrounds with 158 sites near Reedsport, Coquille and other areas along the southern Oregon Coast. One of the the campgrounds, at the Loon Lake Recreation Area, allows you to book reservations online. But when we checked this evening, all those sites were taken for the weekend. But BLM says there are several first-come, first-served sites at this location.

The recreation pages on the Coos Bay website are in some kind of transition. The information about where all the campgrounds are located is somewhat messy and hard to find. You’re best bet may be to call the office at 541-756-0100.
If you want to start online, begin here. It only includes information on two of the ten campgrounds and some of the day use sites. But it does include a link to an older page with some information about all the campgrounds.
