Riverside dispersed camping

One of the coolest camping experiences we’ve had. Drive down the windy steep road to the riverbank and set up camp wherever you’d like.

Camp right in the beautiful Chetco River

Free/dispersed only. One of our favorite dispersed camping spots. Miller Bar is one of a handful access sites on the Chetco River in the Rogue River Siskiyou NF. We camped just feet from the river. Kayak & swim everyday. There are pit toilets and garbage pickup. No hookups or water. Gets crowded in season and weekends but lots of space. Town of Brooking 15 min away. 4x4 is probably a must have as the river bank is just rocks.
