Dangerous, dirty

Access to this site is dangerous, quick steep switchbacks, steep drop off at the end, a bed of sand then slick bumpy rocks. Many of the sites are trashed out and have people “camping”, overall a very unsafe area.

Miller Bar is a hidden gem

Miller Bar is a river bar that allows DISPERSED camping for up to 14 days. It is about 20 minutes from the town of Brookings. If you take North Bank Chetco River Road all the way down past Loeb Park, it will turn into a gravel road, which is Forest Road 1376. Take the Forest Road down a ways, and you will see a river access sign for Miller Bar. The river access road is WINDING "SWITCHBACKS" WITH SOME STEEP HILLS, which is why only SMALL trailers are recommended. Since parking is directly on the river bed next to the water, camping during winter months with heavy rain is discouraged because of rising water levels and floods. There are vaulted toilets, and that's it, no running water. It is pretty much a "dead zone" for cell phone reception, although with some patience, I was able to find a few spots that I could get service (like 2 bars at the most). I got down there at night when it was dark and didn't see any signs that you had to pay $10 until the next morning when I was leaving. Since it is so secluded, no one even came out there except for locals that were fishing, and there were two other vehicles that were camping also. If you're looking for an "off the grid" peaceful spot to camp out where no one will bother you then this is a great place!

Perfect for 1 Night

Big open spot that was pretty well maintained. Pulled up Sunday Labor Day weekend and still had plenty of space that allowed for at least 30-50 yards between vehicles. Will revisit my next coastal trip.

Popular dispsersed campground on the river

  • Plenty of space for lots of people while still spaced out
  • Dispersed, so you pick the spot you like best
  • Right next to a beautiful river - perfect for swimming or kayaking
  • it was windy and buggy the night we were there - not sure if that’s common
  • portapotties were a plus for those without campers
  • We car camped and didn’t have any problem getting to the spot. As a new RV’er I would have been a little uncomfortable trying to get there. But we saw lots of big tow behinds
