This versatile coastal park is tucked in the dunes three miles south of the city of Florence and two miles from the ocean. Known simply as "Honeyman," the park includes the second largest Oregon state park campground and two sparkling freshwater lakes. Spring brings out the pink rhododendrons. Come summertime, this is a great place for family reunions. The fall huckleberries and blackberries are ripe for the picking. This is truly a park for all seasons. Visitors may experience loud noise from May 1 - Sept. 30 due to the proximity of the off-highway vehicle (OHV) management area which is part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.

Honeyman Memorial State Park assists with carrying out the goals of the OPRD Junior Ranger Program including: to enable youth to deepen their understanding of the natural and cultural heritage found in parks, encourage youth to safely participate in outdoor recreation activities and to inspire stewardship of Oregon State Parks and other public lands..
