Labor Day Camping

Adventurous Labor Day Weekend Camping Ideas!

Summer may be winding down, but it's not over yet. Labor Day is the last summer holiday and it's a great time to get outdoors before the weather cools. While vacations look a little different this year, you can still enjoy Labor Day getaways that get you in the great outdoors.

We've come up with three ideas for Labor Day vacations in very different locales. While each one focuses on the outdoors, they offer unique experiences. Check them out and try an action-packed camping trip for your holiday weekend.

Explore the Oregon Coast

Things to Do During Your Labor Day Getaway

The mighty Oregon Coast is a sight to behold. It's well-known for towering seaside cliffs, rocky beaches, and majestic pines draped in mist. To start, visit Bastendorff Beach, a famous shore with many picnic spots. Then head just a few miles south to Cape Arago State Park. This renowned sunset spot is also ideal for whale watching and seal spotting.

Away from the ocean, many more scenic spots await. You can head to Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, where the forest meets the ocean at massive sand dunes. With an off-road vehicle, like a dune buggy, you can tackle the towering dunes for a day of adventure.

There are more attractions around Coos Bay and along the Oregon Coast that include favorites like:

• Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area
• Coos Art Museum
• Mingus Park
• Shore Acres State Park
