About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated along the iconic US Highway 101 corridor on the Southern Oregon Coast, b.side motel + rv (formerly the Bandon Wayside Motel) offers dedicated open-air surface parking at 1175 2nd St SE, Bandon, OR. The property combines a boutique motor lodge layout with an integrated, tree-shrouded RV park and campsite area. Parking is arranged via ground-level open bays situated right outside guest rooms alongside dedicated pull-in RV berths. Because the lot is completely open-air with no multi-story structures or overhead decking, there are zero vertical clearance restrictions, making it perfectly suited for standard passenger cars, oversized pickup trucks, SUVs, camper vans, roof-rack-equipped road-trip vehicles, and motorhomes or trailers up to 38 feet in length in designated RV spaces.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When entering the property from US Highway 101, reduce speed as you approach 2nd Street SE, as coastal traffic can move rapidly during peak daylight hours. If arriving in an RV or towing a vehicle, coordinate your arrival in advance during daylight hours (typically between 2:00 PM and dusk) to ensure an effortless, stress-free pull-in. Motel guests receive complimentary self-parking directly in front of or adjacent to their designated room entrance. During coastal storm cycles or foggy evenings, take extra care navigating the gravel and asphalt transitions near the tree-lined parking perimeter.
