Learn more about this land: Camp Catching is located on Catching Slough a beautiful tidal water way located in the Coos Sumner area near Coos Bay. Home lands to the Coos and Coquille tribes. Camp catching is a part of Blue Barns Farms, a 6 acres homestead located on Old Wagon Rd. This area is considered a “Banana Belt” as during the summer it is often 15 degrees warmer than “in town” and outside of the fog bank that is often seen daily closer to the ocean. It is a great place to set up camp while exploring other areas of our beautiful community. The Oregon Bay Area ( Coos County) is a True Hidden Gem. You can go from mountain to sea; exploring waterfalls to playing at the beach all in one day. We have 3 camping areas around our little blue barn and surrounding area. Each camp spot has a solo fire pit and picnic table (please note: fires will be permitted based on fire risk.) All 3 camping spots have access to Catching Slough for paddle boarding and kayaking; I have been known to even swim on a hot day. We have two paddle boards, one double kayak and a child kayak (less than 130 lbs) available for camper use. Catching slough is influenced by the tides and contains brackish waters- both add additional magic to this area. This means twice a day the slough empties traveling to the ocean and fills up again. High tide is a great time for paddle boarding and kayaking; low tide is wonderful for watching birds and other animals. Anytime is actually great for bird watching! We have a number of different species of birds that rest here while migrating- the opportunity to see them all depends on the time of year that you visit. You can also watch fish jump in the bend of the slough. Other oddities that we have seen since living here over the last 7 years- swimming deer and even a seal(only once)! Everyone who comes to visit finds the slough mesmerizing and beautiful! For facilities we have an outdoor shower and Porter potties that are emptied regularly. Our little Blue Barn is a communal space offering a refrigerator, kettle and tea house. There is also a barbecue located outside the barn for camps use.

Beautiful site with kind hosts that gave great suggestions on local hikes like Sunset Bay to Cape Arago. Their handsome dog Max was a friendly companion on-site who helped us feel welcome and safe.

What a lovely spot on the water. We saw otters and many species of birds. We loved the barn, and were so grateful for the electric kettle. This space is close to Coos Bay and Charleston and Shore Acres Park--a peaceful place to rest after a day of adventuring.

We <3 the Slough

Wow! Alisha and her husband were kind enough to accept our booking at 9pm after our travel plans changed due to fire. We were kindly greeted upon our arrival and when we woke up in the morning, the view blew our mind! Who would’ve thought a last minute decision would be so beautiful? The barn was adorable, the bathroom was clean, and the outdoor shower nice and hot. We weren’t brave enough, but we were very tempted to venture out on the slough with the kayaks and paddle boards the hosts were kind enough to make available to us. So grateful that this beautiful, friendly family is kind enough to share their land with us hip campers!

Already missing Max (the dog)

This was our first time using HipCamp and man was it worth it. The space was exactly as described, and incredibly beautiful. The town of Coos Bay is cute and quaint, but they have an Oyster Farm, a brewery, food truck garden, and a local coffeeshop, which is all you need in my opinion. We were greeted by 2 friendly dogs, and found the space easily with the directions provided. The slough is crazy to see in person, watching the water level decrease in the AM and come back later in the day. We got 2 good trips out on the paddle boards (host provided). Cell service is not available, but we did have access to the property's WIFI. It was a little spotty but we didn't really need it for anything. Overall we would definitely stay here again. Such a great spot!!
