Harris Beach State Park was named after the Scottish pioneer George Scott Harris who settled here in the late 1880s to raise sheep and cattle. The park boasts the largest island off the Oregon coast and is great camping near Portland. Bird Island (also called Goat Island) is a National Wildlife Sanctuary and breeding site for such rare birds as the tufted puffin.

Good spot has almost everything. From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees
Guide
My family and I got a Yurt here and enjoyed this park. One thing I found weird was the yurt only had a code and no key, we found it frustrating using a code to go in and out every time. It is a very large park so make sure you have a park map(I’ll add one with the pictures). The privacy is kind of there, you can still hear your neighbors, but can get privacy while on your porch. Tent sites had very little privacy like most coast places. There are only 3 pet friendly yurts so keep that in mind. There are playgrounds, and other places to do activities. There are also multiple quick ways to the beach. Showers are locker room style and are segregated male and female. One negative I saw was they don’t really prioritize cleanliness there.
GuideQuick access to gorgeous coastal views and beach walks, yurts available, & playground for kids
TravelerMostly R.V. s here, great facilities and free hot showers. Nearby to beautiful and lonely beaches! Stay in a yurt!
GuideHarris beach is a big park with different types of camp sites, I stayed in a yurt. Its also got easy access to the beach.

We didn’t plan on staying but 101 closures between Klamath and Crescent City led us to find a last minute option and the staff at Kamp Klamath could not have been more accommodating. Great camp site, clean facilities, awesome staff and a great location to explore the redwoods. This was an unexpected highlight of our trip
TravelerKamp Klamath is within walking distance to the mouth of the Klamath River and centrally located within the Redwood region. The campground is very rustic, clean, very basic, and quiet. Laundry room is actually located inside a tin shed. Small store for basic supplies. Picnic tables and fire pits at each site. During the summer months they offer a weekly meal event at their pavilion. Management was very friendly and accommodating.
ScoutNicely kept and affordable campground. Easy access to the Pacific Ocean, Klamath River, and Redwoods National Park.
GuideWe had so much fun exploring the Redwoods from Kamp Klamath. It’s also an easy bike ride to the mouth of the Klamath River and the beach which is super cool. The staff here really makes the place. Joyce at the front desk was so welcoming and full of great info & intel and everyone you run into is just really friendly. Our first night there Joyce was even hosting an outdoor movie night for the kids and ours had a blast. My hope is that they’re able to bring back the Saturday Salmon BBQ by the time we get back here next season!
GuideWe have stayed at Kamp Klamath a couple times. We go over for the Salmon run in August / September. The staff here is always friendly and accommodating. We typically stay in the meadow, however their are more improved RV campsites near the road. There are walking trails nearby and a lot of wild blackberry bushes to snack on. The ocean is about 1 mile away right at the mouth of the Klamath river with an awesome beach. Good fishing, beach combing, kite flying etc. There is not a lot of parking and you do have to walk a ways to the water, but it is well worth the walk. Saturday nights in the summer are the best as they do a salmon cook out with live music.

The park has basketball court, recreational room with pool table, TV with cable, books and board games, laundry room $1.25 to wash & $.25 to dry, rest rooms and showers $0.50 a token for 6 minutes of hot water. Come see for yourself, enjoy the Redwoods and about 15 to 25 minutes to town of Crescent City and ocean. Smith River is close by as well.
GuideThe ice cream truck threw me until I figured out they also sold ice. This is a really big (150 sites plus yurts snd hiker/biker spots) campground just off 101. Reservations are needed during the summer. Be sure to pay attention to site length. Some tent sites are ginormous, others not. Nice bathrooms with showers. Some sites on the outside edge have ocean views. There are cable tv (really full hookups) and wi-fi. Beach is easily accessible. 2 miles ftom Brookings.
TravelerMy husband and I were taking a trip up the west coast camping a long the way as our last trip together before our son was born! We absolutely loved Kamp Klamath! It’s location is just perfect! We hiked a lot of trails in the area which were beautiful!
We wish it was closer to us so we could go more often.
TravelerMy family and I tented one night while on a cross country road trip. The campground is nestled back along the Klamath River, almost to the Pacific Ocean. The front office was nice with some basic food items one might forget. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. After checking us in, led us right to our site. Informed us of places to check out and had some menus available for restaurants in town. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. The kids enjoyed the playground and horseshoe pits. We also went down the road to the ocean where we watched seals, sea lions and whales!
We would stay there as the vacation and not just a stop over during a road trip.
RangerThis is one of the prettiest State Park campgrounds along Oregons Southern Coast! Just off Hwy 101 and less than a mile north of Brookings, OR.
This campground has many Full hookup sites with plenty of tent sites too. All RV sites are paved with gravel around the picnic table and fire ring. Each loop has its own restrooms and showers which were well kept and very clean. A large playground is located in A loop and is a short walk really from any loop. There is an amphitheater with bench seating that ranger talks are hosted pretty much nightly. We attended one and had a great time watching a moving and learning about the local whales that frequent the coastline there. They offer Junior Ranger activities in a yurt directly across from the amphitheater. Unlike most of the Oregon State Parks we have visited it is only open for an hour 10-11 everyday, but still worth checking out with the kiddos. They do have firewood available to purchase in the campground as well for $5/bundle.
Camping here you are very close to the OR- CA border which makes trips to the Redwood National Park and Crescent City extremely easy. Trails through the Redwoods in Jedediah State Park and Ocean were great for the kiddos when we were not spending time on the beach at the campground.
We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be making a return trip!
TravelerWe ended up here when the campground we'd planned on in the Redwoods State Park of NorCal was closed for revamp. It was a great choice. The campsite was clean with hot showers available to everyone - a few stalls for each sex, but we used them after dinner w/no competition - & yurts available to the few w/reservations, far (months) in advance. There are a couple hundred tent & RV spaces, that by 4 p.m. for campsites are gone in the on-season. Calling ahead won't reserve you one (book online 24 hrs in advance) but they'll warn you how many are left so you don't dawdle (you'll want to, the coastline in this area is amazing). You're not secluded by any means (think Camp Curry in Yosemite) but it's not the treeless equivalents along the roadside to the south & they do security runs on weekend nights to keep the noise level down. We slept well considering how many people were there. It's a stone's throw to a well populated beach and a 10 minute drive to a couple farm-to-table restaurants (one w/live music on weekends) to the south and spectacular, albeit precarious, trails with trailheads right off the roadside to the north that run through the forest to fantastic views of the cliffs and seascape. One of them has a 100 ft rope down to a secluded beach. We didn't attempt it with dog in tow. Fair warning - particularly for those with curious canine companions: there are resident skunks. Apparently we were occupying the pass-through of one, who made his presence know. The docent came with a flashlight, and after a 10 minute stand down, he was off to greener pastures.
LegendGeneral: A mix of tent sites, electric sites, FHU sites, and yurts.
Site Quality: Varies depending on the type of site and location. All camper pads are paved but they vary in length, with some being very short. The allowed length is indicated on the map, although I cannot recall if I saw this information while making online reservations. Many in the D Loop as well as some in the C Loop are close to 101 and you will hear road noise. IMO, the best sites are A20– 24 and C1 but you have a better chance of winning the lottery than securing one of these sites (I tried at least 7-8 times beginning with the earliest date to reserve to snag one with no luck). We had two sites during our stay and both of them, while different, were wonderful. Site D5-3, a tent site, had three parking spaces in front of the site but we were able to park our campervan horizontally in the three level spaces to best take advantage of the site. Although you could not see the ocean from this site, you can hear it. This site would be good for a small group traveling together with several tents. Our other site (A27) was a FHU and very spacious with foliage on both sides providing plenty of privacy.
Bath/Shower House: All were clean, and the showers were great – good water pressure and almost immediate hot water.
Activities/Amenities: There are several trails that lead you to viewpoints and a gorgeous and rocky beach. There is also a bike path and bike helmet rentals are available (riders under age 16 are required to wear helmets), as well as firewood from 4-7 pm daily. There is a very nice playground. In the summer, junior ranger programs are offered for ages 6-12 and there are evening campfire programs. The scenic 12-mile Samuel Boardman State Scenic Corridor with hiking trails and overlooks; the south end is just three miles north of the park.
We were last at this campground six years ago and loved returning as it is one of our favorite Oregon state parks.
ScoutThis place has so much potential, and is poorly run. I booked my site 3 weeks prior to arrival, requesting and reserving a deluxe spot. A week before arrival I called to add an additional night, and it was made very clear we HAD to be there before dark, they DO NOT park people after dark.
Enroute to the campground, I was called 3 times! Twice to ask where I was, and once to ask where my family members were that we were camping with. We traveled from 5 hours out, leaving our home at 1:30. I was scolded for being there almost too late and that I COULD NOT park my trailer without the afterhours crew. I asked for my site number, I was hesitantly given it, but not without being reminded that “I COULD NOT park my trailer alone, so it didn’t matter what site I was in”. I was not in the deluxe site I had paid for and reserved, the reply I received was “ yeah, that happens a lot, we move people around all the time”. Upon arrival, the gentleman that parked us was so helpful and kind.
The park is a two sided park. The side with the cabins, yurts and pull through sites is very clean and well managed. The other side of the park is a mix of long term campers, storage sheds, boat/rv storage and weekend campers. Maintenance on this side of the park is not a priority, clearly. The weeds are over grown with glass in the camp site divider. The long term people are questionable and the gentleman parked behind us had cameras on his trailer that faced our campsite! You pay 50 dollars a night to camp here and have to pay to use their showers. There are 2 ways to the water, the first is straight down a steep cliff and the second is behind a gate. So, if you have kayaks, rafts or anything of that nature you have to lug it to the river, never is the gate unlocked.
The icing on the cake was when we went to pay the bill! My husband was told if he used his credit card he would receive a 3% service fee and that our “late fee” for arriving at 7:30pm had been removed. I will never visit this park again.

We stayed here on a Saturday night in mid August and had no problem getting a spot. We paid $28.50 (incl tax) with Passport America for full hookups, so expect to pay double that without the discount. They also offer Good Sam, AAA, and veteran discounts.
Showers were decent. Clean enough, water pressure and temperature were fine. There are only 2 washers and 2 dryers (at $1.50 for wash and $1 for dry) that worked well. The park offers wifi but signal is very weak/ unusable unless you use the wifi offered in the office/community room. There are a few basic (very basic) snack and food items for sale in the office. There is also a pool table available for use.
Park has dumpsters but no recycle bins.
Park is right on the Klamath River and is very peaceful and fairly quiet, other that hearing your neighbor’s TV in their RV because the sites are packed so tightly together. We were told by another long time resident that the place isn’t usually this packed and should quiet down at the end of summer. There are tent sites and a group camping area. We were told by the office staff that RVs are welcome to dry camp in the tent area, though we aren’t sure how that would work with fitting an RV in the tent area as the gate was tight. We asked if the RV would be able to dump and fill water and the staff person wasn’t sure and would have to check with owner.
There is a fire pit set up on a little cozy deck on the water. Office staff was very friendly but park owners seemed not to be. It’s possible that they don’t take kindly to Passport America guests. While walking our dogs out on the main road, two dogs from two properties over came charging out at us, teeth bared, ready to fight. By some miracle our yells and screams were enough to get them to back off. The owner stood there, watching the commotion, and didn’t say a word to us when we were walking past her on our way back to our RV. Just seemed odd. We were also told by another long time resident that this park double booked sites for the July 4th weekend and had to turn people away when they showed up for their reservations. Just something to keep in mind for this place.
Propane for sale here at $2.80/gal.
Good cell reception with ATT and Verizon and weak TMobile.

Privacy, amenities, comfort, Redwoods.. truly a crown jewel of Northern California camping. Reservations long in advance needed.
TravelerBeautiful and secluded. We felt like we were a million miles away from everyone, even our camp neighbors! The giant redwoods provide a lot of privacy and gorgeous surroundings, you feel like you're in your own private wilderness. There were plenty of warnings about keeping food put away to avoid attracting bears, but that's to be expected for most places in California.
LegendThe park and campgrounds are managed by both the state of California and the NPS. If you have a national senior pass you can get a 50% discount because it is comanaged by the NPS. California doesn’t offer any decent senior discounts. The campground is awesome. I am normally not a big fan of heavily wooded campgrounds because I heavily dependent on Starlink for connectivity to the outside world. However, I was able to get an amazing site down by the river and was able to run Dishy out near the river bank and got a great connection. There is a short nature walk(about 1.5 miles) that leads through a breathtaking stand of redwoods that are enormous and 1,000s of years old. Of course, being a national and CA state park there are no hookups. I only saw one bathroom serving a very large area and it was a bit of a hike to get to. I would rate the bathroom a B. There is no hand soap so bring your own! Normally I would rate this a 4 because of lake of amenities but it gets a 5.
Scout
This is one of the nicest and quietest California State Parks in the system. The individual sites are separated by foliage and everything is green. The walk to Agate Beach is a must, where you can find interesting drift wood and other interesting beachcombing stuff. Need to reserve your campsite early, however you might luck out if you just show up. The staff is very friendly.

Located in Trinidad California Elk Country Campground will greet you with a herd of elk. The campground is spacious, but there is elk poop everywhere. The bathrooms and showers are semi clean, but the showers require quarters to run and the water didn’t get hot. There’s a laundry room and trash receptacles in accessible places throughout the campground. Located nearby the redwood forest it’s a convenient place to stay when visiting the park.
Traveler
Traveling around the country and we’ve come to the end of our time in California . We stopped here for a quick overnight stay and ended up staying two days in our Promaster van. Absolutely beautiful and clean. You are literally surrounded by redwoods and Douglas Fur. Came in late May mid day and most spots open. You will love sleeping under the second growth forest trees. very magical. Some noise from road but not bad. Clean bathrooms no shower .
GuideThis place is beautiful. We only had a tent and it’s fit us perfectly. 2adults 2kids and our dog. All the spots here are great and pretty spacious. The beach is a ten minute walk and both walks we took were breath taking! Everyone we met were very friendly and had great knowledge of the park seeing that it was our first time. Definitely make a reservation. We were driving from Arizona thinking we would be able to camp anywhere but every place in California were booked.
Guide
Emerald Forest is just that, nestled in a forest. It was a little muddy when we visited but California was smack dab in the middle of a very wet season. Our campsite was level and secluded. The bathrooms were clean and showers had nice warm water, did have to pay for the showers but a couple quarters isn’t much. We stayed two nights and walked to town every morning for coffee and scones from Beachcomber…delicious! Our dogs absolutely loved running on the beach which was also a couple mile walk away. Our second visit to this campground was as good as our first. Love this place and would return again.
