Sutton Campground, Florence, Oregon

Sutton CG Siuslaw NF
Saturday: (10/29) We moved to Sutton campground about a mile from our previous camp and closer to Florence. We found a sunnier, more level campsite there. French toast and ham for breakfast when we got settled.  Today we visited Sealion Caves. Unfortunately there were no sea lions in the cave so we didn't go down to the cave. We've seen the cav before, with sea lions. We do understand that the sea lions do have things to do. We took a drive out on some Forest Service roads near Sea Lions Caves. Some nice hills which would have been even nicer with less fog.

We also went out to look at Sutton Dunes. Our campsite is near the day use area shown above. Our campground is a couple of miles from the ocean. The day use area isn't too much closer. The ocean is to the left of the left picture above over the dune. There is some nice forest around Sutton Recreation Area.

For lunch we enjoyed a nice salad. We relaxed at camp the rest of the day. Dinner was cold cuts and strawberry short cake.

Sunday: (10/30) Popcorn for breakfast. We took a walk out to the dunes and through the forest this morning. We delayed our hike yesterday afternoon because it was drippy and foggy. This morning it was raining steadily so it was a wet hike. We've had a lot of rain on this trip and haven't let it rule us. We stopped for brunch at the Three Rivers Casino. After brunch we headed toward Eugene.
