Umpqua Lighthouse State Park is located less than a mile from the famous Salmon
Harbor on Winchester Bay. The campground and developed day use areas are
centered around beautiful Lake Marie. Access to this small freshwater lake is
provided for angling and non-motorized boating. There is also a small sandy
beach set aside for swimming or just relaxing.
The small overnight campground offers RV and tent campsites, along with two
beautiful one-room log cabins. These warm and cozy cabins sleep four
comfortably. They also have covered porches which overlook picturesque Lake
Marie. Two rustic yurts and six deluxe yurts are also available in the
campground (the deluxe yurts feature restrooms, a kitchenette, TV/VCR and beds).
Showers and restrooms are centrally located. This beautiful and quiet campground
has yet to be discovered by crowds of camping enthusiasts.
The park is centered in the stretch of towering sand dunes protected by the
Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. These dunes, many of which reach heights
of 500 feet or more, are ideal for the off-road enthusiast, or for the person
who enjoys the magnificent wonders of nature. For more information about the
dunes and the recreational opportunities offered, contact the Oregon Dunes
National Recreation Area visitor center in nearby Reedsport or call (541)
271-3611.
The Umpqua River Lighthouse towers above the entrance to Winchester Bay. The
65-foot tower contains a distinctive lens which emits a red and white flash. The
lighthouse and adjacent museum are operated and maintained by the Douglas County
Parks Department. Tours are offered May 1 through September 30
