William Tugman State Park (September 2026)

 









Back in September we spent a couple of weeks camping in two of Oregon's coastal state parks. The first, William Tugman, is one that we've been to several times. It was good to test out all of the systems in our new van while enjoying the nice weather. I got in some long walks along the lake and in the forest, as well as staying consistent with my workouts (Ladder app). We drove into Coos Bay for lunch and paid a visit to the Coos History Museum. I definitely like having the van, which makes exploring nearby towns much easier when we're traveling.

  2. I know where that is - ha! We went toward Coos Bay more than once while we were in Bandon. The Coos Bay Golf Club was the destination and it was beautiful. Glad you shared the pics!

    1. Kay, I'll bet that golf course is very pretty. We've never been over to that side of the river. Glad you've enjoyed your time there and in Bandon.

  3. That has to be so much more maneuverable for parking in towns now. Looks like a great trip and good for you keeping up with your fitness routine.

    1. Tina, we used to have a Chevy Silverado. This van is no more difficult to drive than that was, once you get used to how long it is. With the backup camera and all the safety features that our Subaru has, backing up or simply parking is a piece of cake! Love it!

    1. Thanks, Jane. It's a great state park and not too far of a drive from our home. We love our mode of travel, too!

  5. It must be great to have the van as opposed to a larger RV for day trips and errands while on vacation. Very pretty place!

    1. It's wonderful to travel in the van, Helen! I'm glad we made the decision to downsize. It's not too difficult to get by with less, either, which is a good thing!
