Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Florence, OR 97439

"We loved our stay! Most camp sites have quite a bit of privacy with large trees and bushes in between. We stayed near the playground and welcome center. Our site was clean, quiet and very dark at night. The welcome center had firewood, ice, fire starter, maps, and cool information about the natural wildlife. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. There are many trails to ride long distances on bikes and even more for hiking. Many campers had 4wheelers and dune bikes to ride the many open sand dunes. There are two lakes nearby that are somewhat easy to access with a bit of walking or riding but well worth it. One lake is against the dunes which makes for shallow/lukewarm water play even in October. We saw birds, rabbits, chipmunks, and had an unfortunate few hours of dealing with termite swarms around our campsite. This campground and park is beautiful and peaceful!"

"This is a beauty. Lots of lakes and sand dunes and trails and cool camp sites and people. And just S. of Florence, a bustling small city, makes Honeyman the best. On the negative side, bees can be really bothersome this time of year. If allergic, take appropriate steps to minimize risk. And as always, have fun! That's why you're there. Huge day use/ picnic area. Campers kids have awesome playground."

"Stayed here in June with extended family over 4 campsites and rented the picnic ramada. We all came at different times over the weekend and the staff at the park was so helpful and patient with us! We rented a full hook up site (#15) for our 29 ft Class C with tow vehicle. Sites in this park tend to be very close to each other but some are more private than others due to the amount of vegetation. #15 and #47 were exactly back to back with just a log in between. Thankfully we had great neighbors. We also rented tent site #16 which had #49 and #51 right behind it. We also rented the yurt #17 which was pretty awesome. It was the most private site. It is dog-friendly. And we rented tent site #56 –there was a lot of brush between it and the yurt. All sites have a pavement pad, a dirt tent area, a picnic table and a fire pit. You can easily walk (3 minutes) from the registration check in to the dunes parking lot which is day use. The overnight camping permit includes day use fees at the dunes, Clearwox Lake and Whoahink Lake. Both lakes are gorgeous. Whoahink is known for being a great diving lake. There’s a diving course with things to see and the water is very clear. Weather for early June was perfect and not many mosquitoes. Starlink had a good signal even though there were lots of trees. Since this park is so huge, there are lots of different areas. The area is the back is near the OHV trail so there tended to be more trailers back there and it was much more open. The OHV trail at Honeyman is closed through the summer and so are some of the beaches to walking and dogs. There is a cool map that shows which areas are open to what activities. We were able to find beach access for the dogs to run off-leash that was separate from the OHV area."

"Great place to visit just for the day, or if you're able to find a campsite tons to do at the park. Just outside of town of Florence. Nice to go camping and then go grab dinner in town if you don't feel like cooking that night. Very close to the beach. It will very quickly become your favorite place to schedule for the seasonal getaway."
