No. 1: Shore Acres, Cape Arago
Why Oregon has three state parks right next to each other just south of Coos Bay is a mystery to me. You would think they could be combined into one. I even have the perfect name: Died and Gone to Heaven State Park. Sunset Bay, Shore Acres and Cape Arago line up at the end of the Cape Arago Highway, 10 miles southwest of the city of Coos Bay and two mile from the port town of Charleston. And that's not all there is in this most beautiful part of Oregon, because Coos County also operates its own camping park nearby at Bastendorf Beach and there is the nine-hole Sunset Bay Golf Course.
