About Sutton Campground

Sutton Campground sits in Siuslaw National Forest near Florence, offering tent and RV sites with electric hookups just minutes from the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and Pacific beaches. Operated by American Land & Leisure, this seasonal campground draws families and outdoor enthusiasts who want a forested base camp for dune exploration, lake fishing, and coastal access.

Elevation79 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies a transition zone where lush temperate rainforest gives way to the Oregon Dunes. Coastal pine, Douglas-fir, and Sitka spruce form the canopy, with wax myrtle and huckleberry filling the understory. At 79 feet elevation, the forest feels dense and enclosed, but the dunes lie within minutes. Massive sand formations shaped by wind and ancient geological forces. This proximity to two contrasting ecosystems is the site's defining feature. Tide pools and beaches are close enough for morning exploration before the coastal fog burns off.

Lodging & AccommodationsThere are no hotel-style accommodations on-site, but the campground offers large group campsites with shelters, picnic tables, and electricity.
