This little RV park is a hidden Gem tucked along the Rogue River. The campground is kept up very nicely, with beautiful trees and lush greenery around. The host is a nice older man who was very accommodating. We got he Wifi code and was able to stream our Netflix which was nice because we were rained in. The park is also close to the town with many restaurants and trails close by.

We didn’t end up going because it is NOT RV friendly. You have to hike in with your tent

We had never been to the ocean and had so much fun having our camper parked directly off the beach. It was so clean and beautiful. Planning on visiting again!

a little busy a lot of people but really quiet and peaceful !

Stayed in a cabin and it was beautiful. The front porch provided a fabulous view to the Chetco River.
If you fish and don't have a trailer or camper these cabins are perfect. Fire ring and table are provided as well.
Well worth the price.

This was the perfect spot to spend a night. The creek behind us was beautiful and the sounds just put you right to sleep. Many spots along the road. Easy with our jeep, but I wouldn't recommend for larger trailers
Ranger
Overall the campground itself was nice. The restrooms are super clean and nice. Some sites are fairly secluded. It was very hot when we were there and although it is next to the river, you are actually above the river so you have to drive/hike to it. There were a lot of campers from Oregon there and all of them were there to party. The camp host was useless and didn’t want to interact with anyone.
Ranger
We loved this campground! It is about a mile off the highway so you don’t have any road noise. You are immersed in the redwoods with a creek flowing next to the campground. The staff is very friendly and they do a great job keeping everything clean.
RangerWe loved this campground! You are immersed in the redwoods and surrounded by a creek that runs along the campground. The restrooms were clean, staff very friendly and it was nice and quiet when we were there.

We stayed one night at this park while on a trip down the Oregon coast. It was very cold and rainy, so we spent the time in our RV, but it was so cool to watch the waves roll in!
The beach is right in front of the park, so on a nicer day we would have enjoyed that a little more, but still a very cool location right in the harbor.
GuideWe stayed one night here during a trip down the Oregon coast. We have a 37' TT, it was a little tight trying to back in, our neighbor across from us was gracious enough to move his truck. The sites themselves are very spacious, with a picnic table and fire pit. The sites were surrounded by blackberry bushes which was cool.
We did not use the bathrooms, but the park and the outside of the facilities all looked clean, and they also had cabins available near the river, which was so peaceful!

This campground must be the “first camp out” for so many Northern California kids, at least of my generation. It was the first time my family drove for HOURS (“are we there yet?” And then the result was spectacular. The river vibe, the rope swing, the ancient redwoods, the dappled sunlight, the bbq. And yes, there’s a store nearby in the middle of nowhere to pick up whatever you need.
It really is family-lovely. Your kids will make friends with the others. If you can plan an extended stay, do it!
Recently, I just drove around the grounds, on my way back to SF, just for fun, and I thought, wow, I’m ready to experience this place as a childless oldster. I want to bird my ass off. I want to go offseason. All of it!
GuideDispersed camping along the river banks after walking through the Tall Trees hike. Easy overnighter.
GuideBeautiful campground among trees. Campsites feel private despite being a large campground. They had a range talk when we were there that we wish we attended but didn’t line up with our timeline. Staff was friendly.

Camping at Rambling Redwoods offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature, surrounded by the majestic Redwoods. The campground provides a variety of amenities, including a playground and horseshoe pits, as well as a dog wash area for your furry friends. Well-maintained bathrooms and showers featuring good water pressure—a welcome comfort in the great outdoors. The availability of a laundry room adds a touch of convenience to the rustic camping experience. We were in site 31 which was a very level dirt pull-thru and parked our truck between two huge trees. My only negative thought is that the back of the site only had a couple of logs separating sites 31 and 30. I may not have felt this an issue had the people at site 30 kept their dogs on a leash which would have prevented their three dogs from coming over and trying to attack my dog. Yes, the park has a leash rule. When planning a trip to the Redwood State and National Park, mapping out your destinations is crucial, as some attractions can be quite a distance from the campground.

Nice folk working and camping. Very full campground parked in like sardines. Mainly fishing guys. Some are guides and will take you out fishing the rogue river Clean park. Reasonable rate around $40÷/- for full hookup.
Guide
We loved having a playground right around the bend that the kids could enjoy, and the hot water showers were clean and tidy. The sites themselves offered little privacy, but we knew what we were signing up for when we booked this campground. We wanted a base to explore the Redwoods NP and the beaches nearby, and Harris Beach State Park worked nicely!

When I booked this, I was under the impression we'd be able to see the Ocean from the park. Don't get your hopes up. Only certain spots actually get that perk, and "premium" sites like the one I reserved are not among those that get a view. In fact, we were more than a little confused that the "premium" site we paid good money for landed us right next to the dumpsters and sewer station. Our "lawn" area between us and the nearest neighbor was a narrow patch of powdery dirt and dying weeds. From where we were, it looked like all the camper spaces on the Southeast end of the park were in the same situation. Zero shade, zero green grass, and campers wedged as closely together as the law allows.
The activity room in the lodge building was a plus. The kids had a blast playing ping-pong, arcade games, and foosball. We arrived at about ten minutes til 4pm, and the gal working the counter took every effort to communicate that to us as clearly as possible that we needed to leave by 4. If you want to have fun up there get an early start.
The showers/bathroom were nice, albeit in desperate need of ventilation.
This area of the OR coast is beautiful and there are plenty of things to see and do. It's not so touristy as the northern OR coast, and not as populated as the central OR coast. The beach is probably a 10 minute walk from most sites, which is okay unless you want to take chairs, picnic basket, etc, then you'll be driving to Ophir beach, which seemed to have its share of recreational smokers and the kind of "pilgrims" you tend to see along the 101.
My main problem with Honeybear was the price. We paid a premium price for a spot that ended up looking nothing like the photos I was looking at. There were no trees or shade, no ferns or other foliage. It was just a patch of semi-flat dirt. Walking through the park I did see a lot of far prettier spaces through the grounds where there were lots of trees, or an ocean view so I'd highly suggest you do your research before reserving a space. Avoid spaces 74 and up, unless you're fine camping in a parking lot.
Full disclosure: I did book this spot 1 month before our arrival date, so there wasn't much left at that point… that's on me. Even so, the term "premium" just feels like false advertising to me. Premium price, yes. Premium location, no.

Cute little free place to camp. RVs and group camp areas are available, as well as toilets, and water faucets next to each campsite. There is a “beach”, a small opening to a river. Not too busy as Happy Camp is quite out of the way.
TravelerHad a great time with my family camping at this site. Bathrooms were very clean and well stocked with single ply toilet paper and soap. Showers are also clean with a bench and hook for hanging your clean clothes. As many people have said showers are 25 cents per minute.
Each campsite layout is different and ours had the fire pit in a weird spot. That being said we appreciated the big picnic table and with maneuvering we could fit 3 cars (2 SUV and one compact). The site has ranger talks and plays movies occasionally which is nice for families.
As for wildlife: Lots of blue jays, chipmunks and we saw deer. Bears do roam the area and we never saw any but they were spotted two days before we checked in.
Short drive to Crescent City to see the sites (lighthouse, Ocean World Aquarium, shops, SeaQuake Brewery-great food & beer) or the larger trees in the redwoods. We hiked the Grove of Titans with 2 toddlers which is about 20 mins away. We would love to come back again.

Nice area to camp or pull in your RV on 3 acres of private property next to KOA campground. Property has a geodesic dome that is available for rent. Porta potty and fire rings on premises. Potable water available walking distance at KOA Campground and established Campground has a small store and showers available. Highway is audible but not that bad and many Shady spots to camp in. Initially gave this four stars but after having deer walk 20 ft away from me and I heard of elk grazing 30 ft away , along with tons of different types of birds, The spot is a wildlife wonder!
Guide
This spot is a gravel pull off that is about 25ftx15ft. You can fit a small pull behind, truck, and/or van. The 6.5 mile road (FS-25) is paved so the accessibility of the site is a plus. The only downside is the logging operation that you can hear during the week further up the mountain.
Guide
Campsites are incredibly beautiful and well spaced out. Great showers and satisfactory restrooms. Water and electric was $2 more at the campsite, well worth it. Some great little dog walks from and near the location. Was a great break from the summer heat. We'll definitely be back.

My husband and do not typically like to camp at RV parks, however during a busy 4th of July weekend we found openings here and ended up loving our stay! The beach and creek access was so convenient. Was not a fan of the onsite Mexican restaurant, but didn’t have very high expectations anyways. The office staff were very friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back!
Make sure you visit Secret Beach during your stay, just a short drive down the road.
GuideThis campground is the real deal when it comes to fun and family camping experiences. The CG staff is courteous and knowledgeable. There is onsite trash and recycling, water flush toikrts, sinks, and an awesome playground. Paths to the beach as well. The campground fills up quickly with online reservations. Close to nearby scenic stops, like Thunder Rock Cove, Secret Beach, and so on.
Guide
I rarely give an RV Park four stars, but we LOVED this place and location. Everything here was clean, the host was kind and courteous, and we landed site #51, which was the last small RV location before tents. Laundry and showers were easy to use and clean as well. My daughter also enjoyed the little playground. Definitely would go back if we were in the area.
Ranger
There was a few pullouts on the road and I wouldn’t exactly call it dispersed camping. I parked in what I think was a road for fishing access. Only positive was the river was right there
