We had a lovely day relaxing at our campground in Bandon. After breakfast, we decided to ride our bikes out to the lighthouse (only 6 miles round trip) and later took a short hike up to the Bullard Family Cemetery, which another camper recommended. In all the visits to Bullards Beach State Park, this was the first we had heard of this little cemetery of just a dozen plots. Perched up on the hill, surrounded by salal, shore pines, rhodies and huckleberry, we discovered it to be well-maintained (most likely by the state park rangers) and quite peaceful. We also explored the other campground loops, checking out the sun and shade situations for future visits. I always prefer a campsite with a lot of sun, especially on the Oregon coast, which never gets terribly hot. We did a little reading (outside in the sun, of course!) and later enjoyed our drinks by the fire. All in all, a nice start to our big road trip.

Nice level site.
No neighbors on one side.
Sunny afternoon.
So nice to get out and ride.
We do love our campfires.
Cheers!
What a wonderful beginning to your fall trip. We've stayed at Bullard's Beach many times...looks like you got a perfect site!
ReplyDeleteWe have also stayed at Bullard's Beach many times. I think C Loop is now our favorite. I always crave the sunny sites when we're camping on the Oregon coast.
