Camping at Loon Lake Recreation Site near Reedsport

Public campground · Reedsport · 50 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Loon Lake Recreation Site sits at about 392 feet in the Coast Range, roughly 20 miles east-southeast of Reedsport on OR-38 and under an hour's drive from Winchester Bay. The lake itself is a natural, landslide-dammed basin covering about 260 acres and running nearly two miles long with depths around 190 feet; it has one of the Coast Range's few warm, sandy beaches and a swim area that draws families for waterplay, paddleboarding, kayaking, and small-boat recreation.

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (52 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Been going to Loon Lake over 50 years. After being shut down for so many years I thought there would have been improvements, quit the opposite. The playground really needed some TLC, even just a load of chips. The reservation policies really need some changing.”

Jerine T 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“I had a wonderful time and the hosts were very nice & helpful. More water would be great. I really miss the showers”

Thomas W 4 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“First time at loon lake, I was pleasantly surprised by how well organized the tent sites were and the restrooms were clean. Sandy beaches at the lake and a large designated swimming area was another pleasant surprise. ”

How far ahead to book Loon Lake Recreation Site

For July weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 127 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (10,835 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
