Does Bullards Beach offer pet-friendly yurts? Bullards Beach currently offers six pet friendly yurts (C11, C25, C29, C, E, and F). For an additional $10 fee, visitors may stay with up to two pets in these yurts. Pets are prohibited in all other facilities. Is my service animal welcome in all buildings? Service animals are permitted in all areas where campers are allowed. In keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act, a service animal is defined as a dog that is trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. (Providing emotional support or deterring crime are not considered qualifying tasks.) Except under special conditions, service animals must also be restrained while in state parks. Please describe the situation and location of the animal so the OMMSN can follow-up on your concerns.
Service animals are generally permitted where pets are not. Check with the park for specific areas.

Camping details from the park
Year-round Camping Campground is accepting reservations up to 6 months in advance at oregonstateparks.reserveamerica.com. • 103 full-hookup sites • 82 electrical sites with water • 13 yurts (6 pet-friendly) RESERVATIONS REQUIRED • Horse camp with 8 primitive sites • Hiker/biker camp • Flush toilets and showers (campers only) • Reservable picnic shelters • Yurt meeting hall • RV dump station • Firewood for sale • Universal Access: Six campsites and three yurts are ADA accessible. How far is the campground from the beach? The main campground at Bullards Beach is located 3/4 of a mile as the crow flies from the beach. This provides protection from occasional strong ocean breezes. Two trails connect the campground and beach. The Beach Trail is an easy paved/ bark-chipped 1 1/4 mile trail suitable for bikes that offers excellent views of the Coquille River as it transects the day-use portion of the park. Pearl's Trail, named for a member of the Bullard Family, is a moderate 3/4 mile trail that traverses sand and boardwalks through a dune ecosystem and seasonal wetlands. Additionally, there is parking in the day-use portion of the park that offers immediate access to the beach over a small foredune. How many extra vehicles can I have in my campsite? One primary motorized vehicle is included in the camping fee for each site. Campers may have up to one additional vehicle in each site for $10 per night, provided that all vehicles fit on the paved driveway within the site. No overflow parking is available elsewhere in the campground. Only one RV is allowed per spot. Does Bullards Beach have wi-fi? No. However, the town of Bandon offers free wi-fi at multiple locations. I noticed that all of the campsites at Bullards Beach have at least water and electricity. If I'm not going to use these ammenities, do I still have to pay full price? Yes. The use fees for campsites in Oregon State Parks are determined by ammenities available within the site, not ammenities used.

Trails
Horse Play Equestrians will enjoy the park's horse camp and access to 11 miles of trails and four miles of beach and dunes. Sites feature double or quadruple corrals. Hiking and Biking A mostly paved path to the beach begins near the campground registration booth. The path weaves for just over a mile through the open, grassy fields and lowland forest to the sandy dunes. Enjoy views of the Coquille River and Bandon Marsh National Wildlife Refuge on the opposite bank. Explore 4.5 miles of beach at the end of Bullards Beach Road. Bring your mountain bike to ride the hard-packed sand along the edge of the surf, or just enjoy a stroll along the ocean shore. A refurbished hiker/biker camp popular with those hiking the Oregon Coast Trail offers storage lockers with solar powered USB charging ports.
Boating and paddling
When are the docks available for use at the boat ramp? Depending on conditions, the boat ramp docks are typically installed in late April and removed in late October. Where can I wash my boat? At this time Bullards Beach State Park does not have boat washing facilities. There are however options located in Bandon, which is 2 miles south of the park. Is crabbing and fishing allowed from the Bullards Beach boat docks? Beginning in Spring of 2017, crabbing and fishing will no longer be allowed from the Bullards Beach boat docks. This change comes with the installation of new boat docks funded through the Oregon State Marine Board. Boat docks funded by the Oregon State Marine Board are restricted to boat use only. Recreational crabbing and fishing can be done from the public docks located in the Bandon harbor.
