Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park

Washburne SP lies north of Florence and South of Yachats. It includes a day use area on the west side of 101 and camping to the east. There is a large RV camping area and then there is a tent only camping area that is a nice distance from the RV area. The tent sites are walk in only, however there is a parking area with wheelbarrows to assist you in getting your gear to the campsite. The sites are huge (there are 3 sites that are awesome, the others are still nice) and you can hear the ocean from camp. There is a little road noise from 101, but it dies down in the evening. It is a short walk to the beach from camp. There is a trail (The Valley Trail) that connects the park to other trails in the area, however it has been closed all winter. We received a lot of rain on the coast this winter, resulting in land slides which damaged some area trails. The campground is close to a number of trailheads making it a great base camp.
