Best Campgrounds near Brookings, OR

885 Reviews

Several good camping options sit near Brookings, Oregon, including Harris Beach State Park Campground where you can walk right to the beach and see the ocean. The campsites have hedges and trees between them for some privacy, and the showers don't require coins. Alfred A. Loeb State Park Campground sits right on the Chetco River with level sites and cabins that face the water. Winter camping here can be really peaceful, though it rains a lot. If you prefer more basic camping, Redwood Bar Dispersed Camping has a big area with nice river views, but you'll hear some traffic from the road. Watch out for wildlife in the area - store your food properly. Amenities vary between these places - some have showers and bathrooms while others are pretty basic. It's worth checking what each place has before you go. Brookings has both beach and riverside camping depending on what you want.

    Crescent City/Redwoods KOA

    Easy 101

    It is right off 101. We had easy pull through. Seems real quiet. Laundry being renovated. Bathhouse seems fine. Nice big grassy area towards the dog park. Nice for our dogs. So far so good.

    Humbug Mountain State Park Campground

    Little pricey but worth it

    This spot is great! We generally don’t stay at paid campsites but this one was worth it! The restrooms were very clean along with the shower area. The campground is kept neat and are plenty of spots. We drive up and paid online BUT the spots fill up fairly quickly and by the end of the night the park was full! There is access to the beach that is about a 1/2 mile walk but so worth it!! We would definitely stay here again!

    Mill Creek Campground — Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park

    Del Norte Coastal Redwood SP

    This area is beautiful and well worth a visit, but the campground needs some attention. 2 mile entrance road was paved but not in good condition. Site 42 was small for our 16’ft trailer and lots of mosquitoes in late summer. Campground is very wooded with lots of great hikes nearby.

    Redwood Bar Dispersed Camping

    Redwood Camping

    I’m not sure why everyone is so pressed about the maps leading them elsewhere, the signs are there! There are actually 3 river access roads that will lead you to dispersed camping. The Nook, Miller and Redwood and they all have signs displayed. We were there for 3 nights and to be honest every night from Mon-Wed. was quite but busy. Everyone was respectful of the others space however it was just too busy of a site for how we like to camp. It is good for a sleep and the river was was nice but not really my flavor. We drove up farther to another site and enjoyed that much more.

    South Fork Chetco

    Secluded river spot

    This is one of my favorite spots so far! It’s a little farther up than we anticipated going BUT so worth it...maybe a mile or so past the Redwood river access. You’ll pass through a cute little neighborhood and it’s right before the bridge on your left hand side. The spot that we were staying at before just got way too busy and that’s not the kind of camping that we prefer to do. We were able to get our rig and our Casita down fairly easy. We’re right on the river with very beautiful views and the whole area to ourselves!! We’re visiting early September so no fires are allowed at this time and the yellow jackets are still definitely out, so try and make sure you have a trap for them…they can get aggressive! Would most definitely come back to this spot!!

    Alfred A. Loeb State Park Campground

    happy campground right on the chetco

    Wow! I had heard some mixed reviews of Loeb; lack of privacy, loud partying. That wasn't my experience. Maybe I got lucky but I had super chill neighbors and it was dead quiet once the sun went down. There are options up the river for more private dispersed camping I checked out the next day, but solo camping as a woman I prefer to have some lowkey families or older couples camping nearby, which is what I got. Gigantic trees swallowed my site which was a 3 minute walk to the riverbank. Chetco is the most gorgeous river I have ever been lucky enough to swim in. Honestly the campground could have been a dump and I might not have even noticed due to how dazzled I was by the river, which flowed gently behind my site. I swam for hours, walked into camp for a hot shower & dinner, stared up at the stars before bed. I heard barred owls at night. So hard to leave this special place. I will be back as soon as I can.

    middle fork smith river

    Middle Fork Smith River

    This is a cute spot and we stayed here for 3 nights. Plenty of space between the other campers (up to 5 one night). There is an overlook to the river at the dead end of the road and you can hear people enjoying that view but nothing that would really disturb you. There is a trail that leads straight down to the river! Plenty of room for swimming and fishing. Would definitely stay here again. It’s about a 15 min. drive to the Jedediah Redwoods, which if you haven’t seen…IT’S A MUST!! We dropped our trailer at the information center for the Redwoowds, visited in the forest for a few hours, picked up the trailer and came right back to this spot with no problems.

    Panther Flat Campground

    Lovely and Well Maintained

    Ihave an access pass bc I'm disabled and the very helpful host helped me get settled. Sites are level, clean, and close to bathrooms and showers. Though other campers are close, it feels private and safe.

    Patrick Creek Dispersed Camping

    Beautiful creek camping

    This little spot is such a gem. The reviews are correct in the fact that it can be a tight fit. My husband and I were the only camper here when we stayed so we didn’t experience that as a problem. It is a bit steep coming down but since we were the only ones we had plenty of room to back the camper where we wanted. The creek is absolutely clear, a bit chilly but stunning. I would definitely recommend this spot and would absolutely come back for another stay. If you miss this spot or it’s too full there are plenty of other dispersed campsites farther up. Might not be as much room for campers or splashing around in the river but you’ll still access to the river. We came late August.
