Located in downtown Florence at 1st and Harbor Streets, the Siuslaw River RV Park & Marina offers convenient boat launch access on the lower Siuslaw River, just 4.7 river miles from the Pacific Ocean. This facility is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the river or access prime fishing and crabbing grounds. The marina includes a boat ramp, docks, and full-service amenities for visitors planning extended trips.
The site is well-positioned for both day use and multi-day paddling adventures. Nearby campgrounds including South Jetty Sand Camping, Tyee Campground, and Waxmyrtle Campground offer multiple lodging options within 10 miles, many with reservations available. The lower Siuslaw River in this area is wide and tidal, making it accessible for various skill levels, though paddlers should be prepared for tidal influences and ocean swell effects this close to the coast.
