2024 Fall Camping page 3
We spent two nights at South Beach State Park. This is another
place where the beach is a mile or more hike from the
campground. One interesting feature is that on one of the paths to
the beach they have noted where the shore line was throughout
the years, chronically the results of building the jetty for Newport
Harbor.
We have stayed at this park quite a few time so I didn’t take any
more pictures
Boiler Bay on the way to Beachside State Park.
Boiler bay is named for the boiler of the J.
Marhoffer which is, or was, visible at low tide
Beachside State Park. This site was a tight fit. I like Beachside because one row of sites actually are very close to
the beach. The beach view is looking north from the campground and it goes a long ways south too. Good place for
walking with Buddy
The view from near Perpetua Head. This section of
101 gets our vote for most scenic section
These three pictures show the Devil’s Churn which was fun to watch but I think
would really be great after a large storm
Our next two stops were National Forest campgrounds, Waxmyrtle at the north edge of
the Oregon Dunes National Recreation area and Bluebill at the south edge.
No pictures were taken at Waxmyrtle but a lot were taken at Bluebill
Bluebill campground and Bluebill Lake. The four below were taken on a walk around the lake.
Bluebill was less than a mile from this beach which is called Horsfall. On the inland side of this dune is a OHV campground
