​As you drive south on Hwy 101 from Sea Lion Caves you'll come to this beautiful overlook of the Oregon Dunes.  Sutton Recreation Area is nestled in these older dunes where the coastal shrubbery thrives.

1 mile from Hwy 101 is the Sutton Campground entrance.  It is a year-round campground with electric hookups.

Sutton Campground is cozied up to Sutton Creek as it winds its way to the ocean.

​Loop D can accommodate from 30 to 100 people.  It has 11 paved parking spurs for vehicles or RVs; including 2 electric hookup sites.  This common area has picnic tables, a group fire ring, extra parking and a small covered table with an electrical outlet for small appliances.  D001 is the designation for this area on http://www.recreation.gov or call 1-877-444-6777.

​Your group can spread out in the Loop D (D001) group area of Sutton Campground.  There are 11 campsites, including 2 with electric hookups, and a large common area for games.  Playing on the sand dune is also a favorite activity.  This group are is more isolated from the rest of the campground.

​This playing area is right across from the common area.

​This group site has a large pavilion with picnic tables, grills and a group fire ring.  Men's and Women's flush restrooms and a large parking area for up to 20 vehicles are on-site.  Reserve your group picnic or overnight camping up to a year in advance on www.recreation.gov or call 1-877-444-6777.  The designation for this site is C001.

​In the past this beautiful group area has been under utilized as a picnic area only.  Beginning in 2013, this group site is also able to be used for group camping for up to 100 people.  This is site C001 on www.recreation.gov.

This map was updated in 2013 to include the C001 group overnight camping area.  C001 can be used for either picnic or overnight camping. The price is the same.

Trails lead along Sutton Creek, over sand dunes, and if you aren't worn out by then, out to the beach.  Take a friend and make noise, black bears live in the area.
