William M. Tugman State Park sits on the shores of Eel Lake, about eight miles south of Reedsport on Oregon’s South Coast. The park features 94 RV full-hookup sites and 16 yurts, all open year-round. Standard site amenities include electricity (likely 30/50 amp), water, sewer, picnic tables, fire rings, and ample space suitable for big rigs and tent camping. A central dump station and flush-toilet & shower facilities are available, with water and trash disposal onsite. Supported recreational activities include fishing (largemouth bass, crappie, rainbow trout, steelhead, Coho salmon), boating, swimming, wildlife watching, and lakeside strolling. A boat ramp and fishing dock provide easy access to the lake, while a small network of trails offers nature viewing opportunities. The park does not advertise long-term discounted rates, typical for Oregon State Parks. Connectivity is basic – park-style: no Wi-Fi or cable TV. Services include potable water, restrooms, showers, and trash, though no laundry or general store. With a calm lakeside location and extensive year-round access, Tugman is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a relaxing combination of traditional RV camping and water-based recreation.
