if you arrive by about Wednesday you should have free picking for most of the spots. do not camp under the first row of trees or by the railing. the dew this time of year will wake you up thinking its raining and twenty feet away it will just be a little foggy with no rain. This is from experience and waking up saying what the f....!! better for your stuff to dry a row further away from the railing. YOu can go to bandon and whiskey run without issue also. Over the years we have camped at the KOA as they have a hot tub and pool along with a little store. It is literally only five minutes away and it is just enough inland that you get the sun the entire time when the lake is fogged in. We go every year but prefer the KOA but I love the convenience of the campground right at the lake. tough to beat the scenery but this time of year the fog and dew can play an issue. happy kiting down there.

since you are in an RV you will want the bigger spots towards the end or center with grass!!!! whiskey run is north of floras. about 15 minutes to bandon and about another 10 min or so just north of that for the road to the beach for the DW. I don't think there is power there at the campground and I forget if they even want generators there. KOA has the variety, full power, sanitation etc. Friday and sat are busier at the KOA as you have all the weekend warriors that are bouncing from koa to koa. You can kite at the lake and work down wind- cruise over the sand bar and hop in the waves for some tacks back up wind to the top of the lake and repeat!!! you can always email will@floraslake.com and he will give you the latest wind report. I have not been but want to go for sure down to Whiskey run. IF for some reason the wind is not in in Bandon check south ie Pistol river for some sick kiting. hope this helps!!
