Bay Point Landing – Coos Bay, Oregon
We had read excellent reviews about Bay Point Landing from fellow RVers and thought we we should head there and see what all the fuss was about. What a wonderful place. Bay Point Landing sits on the bay not far from the Pacific Ocean and offers a “modern camping” experience
