We begin camp in our own private campground at the beautiful Sunset Bay near Coos Bay, Oregon.

We then journey to the Oregon Dunes to both kayak its lakes and track its animals, all the while learning about the incredible ecology of this unique landscape.

Finally we travel to Newport, Oregon where we stay in yurts for our last night. Here we vist the Oregon Coast Aquarium and explore the historic coastal town of Newport.
