Sutton Campground

Awesome campground with great spots that have good privacy and old growth, the only downside is no showers.

They always enjoy just being in the beautiful forest

First, a shout out to the campground host couple, who keep this campground immaculately clean (even the bathrooms). (This was quite a contrast to Cape Lookout State Park, from which I had just come, and I appreciated it).

I solo tent camped at Sutton for four nights in Site A7, which is reasonably private and shaded by tall trees. I would come back, and I would stay in that site again. Though my stay included a late June weekend, the campground was uncrowded, quiet, and respectful. I found a nice trail that starts next to the group campground in Loop A. I walked on Heceta Beach, a five minute drive away - it's a wide beach with a long expanse in both directions - excellent for dogs (I'd been there before with my dog before she died last September). I drove a few miles north to the half mile trail to Heceta Beach Lighthouse. It's a nice trail with well graded wide switchbacks and great views, and at the top are friendly volunteers with spotting scopes set up trained on lounging sea lions and common murre. I went into Florence one afternoon for clam chowder, ice cream, and a bookstore. I didn't get to the Hobbit Trail, but that's another option. I'll come back to Sutton and to Site A7 again (and this time I'll ask the hosts their names :-)

A very nice, well maintained rustic park. Reminds me of camping when we were young. I like having access to electric on some of the site. For those in RVs, no threaded water hook ups in the park, so be prepared to fill your water tank manually or bring your water with you. Camp hosts are very nice people, and the fire wood is both reasonably priced and great quality. Fun activities nearby, with dunes, beaches lighthouse and the town of Florence nearby. A big thumbs up for this campground.

Clean facilities and great camp hosts.

Spotless bathrooms. Even liquid soap available at the sink

There is only one 30-amp plug available. If you are camping with "normal" 3-prong plug bring a converter to plug into the 30-amp configuration. The campsite is fairly private with the fire ring tucked away in the bushes. Plenty of room to set up a large tent and a nice grill on the fire ring to cook on. There is no water hookup but there is a spigot nearby.

Wonderful campground by the ocean. Surrounded by pines, a nice creek running through and several great hiking trails right from the camp. We’ve stayed several times and have always found the restrooms to be very clean and well supplied. It’s amazing how peaceful the campground is considering you’re only 10 minutes from town which is great for any last minute items you may have forgotten to bring. Can’t recommend this place enough.

We had a very enjoyable 4-night stay in January. The weather was sunny every day. It got a bit cold at night, but we stayed warm. We had a nice campfire every night.
This campground was wonderfully quiet.
We love the new shelter in the group camp on A loop. Beautiful addition to this area. The construction is top-notch and sturdy.

Wonderful quiet campground with trails accessible from campground.
