Two beach campgrounds to close temporarily this fall and winter
SALEM, Ore—Two popular coastal campgrounds will temporarily close this fall and winter for construction projects.
Bullards Beach, two miles north of Bandon, and Beverly Beach, seven miles north of Newport, will close their campgrounds temporarily for construction projects.
“We recognize how important these State Parks are for your recreational experiences and for that reason, we want to communicate these upcoming closures as soon as possible," said Beverly Beach Park Manager Jered Mangini.
• Beverly Beach campgrounds will be closed Sept. 5, 2023 through May 24, 2024 to upgrade the park and campground power and water lines as part of the Go Bond projects, which include improvements at 11 parks around the state: https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=v.feature-article&articleId=295
• Bullards Beach campgrounds will be closed Oct. 15, 2023 through March 15, 2024 for a main sewer line upgrade.
While the campgrounds will be closed at Bullards Beach, there will be some areas of the park that visitors can still enjoy. The day use area, boat ramp, lighthouse and horse camp will remain open during the closure.
All facilities will be closed at Beverly Beach.
OPRD knows that these campgrounds are well loved places that will be missed this fall and winter season. The closures will allow crews to improve the parks for seasons to come.
“We appreciate the support as we complete these critical infrastructure upgrades and are excited to welcome folks back with facilities ready to provide enhanced camping experiences for years to come,” said Bullards Beach Park Manager Nick Schoeppner.
