Best Campgrounds near Gold Beach, OR

The coastal town of Gold Beach in Oregon has several camping spots that combine beach access with forest settings. Beachfront RV Park sits right on the ocean where you can fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing. Many campers head to Humbug Mountain State Park Campground for its trails that climb up for good coast views. Indian Creek RV Park is closer to town with clean facilities in a quiet area. Most people camp in Gold Beach between May and September when it's warmer and drier. If you come during winter, expect rain and sometimes tricky driving conditions on wet roads. Keep your food secured since wildlife is common in the area - bears and raccoons can be problems at some sites. Some of the camping areas have tight turns or steep sections to reach them, so check ahead if you have a larger vehicle or trailer. Gold Beach camping works well for both RVs and tents, with plenty of fishing, hiking and beachcombing nearby.

    Harris Beach State Park Campground

    Nice and clean campgrond, a bit noisy from 101

    Nice and very beautiful campground, close to the beach. The only downside is that you do get a bit of noise from the 101 highway nearby.

    Florence Keller Campground

    Nice, minimalistic campground

    Campground is beautifully carved out in a redwood forest. There are lots of spots nestled in the forest, and pullout spots to accommodate large RVs.

    The upsides: spots are spacious and private, there is one bathroom (and several supplemental porta-potties), potable water spigots, and it’s only $20/night.

    The downsides: lots of road noise from the adjacent highway, zero electricity (the outlet in the bathroom doesn’t work), and there’s no hot water.

    Little Falls Campground

    Tiny but cute

    This campground is a paid campground, 10.00 a night without National park access pass. There is only 4 spots here Two you have to park in. Overflow and walk to your site. One is a small back in, camper van, suV, truck. The other is a double site, good for small 10ft less RV. We have a 5x8ft CcT so we fit amazingly in the double site. It’s quiet and clean. So close to Grants Pass and to Cave Junction. There is also tent only campground across the river.

    Forest Road 25

    Pretty

    We stayed up the road from this spot but I wanted to leave a review so there is a spot here could fit a 25ft rv. I would definitely park my CCT & Jeep here. Beautiful view The road down past it would be amazing for Jeep/truck/suv tent camping. This area is so peaceful

    Lookout Gap

    It’s quiet and beautiful views

    It’s by itself and a perfect place to camp for a couple nights. It does have regular cell service & data. So quiet and much needed

    Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground

    Beware! No refunds whatsoever even w unforeseen events outside of your ctrl

    I hate having to leave a 1-star review as I do actually like this campground; however, I must make others aware of this issue. I was traveling south from Coos Bay, OR. Evidently there was construction on US-101. Not being from the area(or able to predict the future or knowing anything about a service called TripCheck at the time), I was just following Google Maps, Apple Maps and RV Life like I always do. All of the platforms had me circling around for 6 hours leading me onto unpaved roads that would eventually dead end. Evidently all of the mapping systems think there are roads around the problem area, but they were wrong. I would have to unhook, turn everything around, etc. It was terrible!

    I alerted Honey Bear as soon as I became aware of the situation that I was stuck in Coos Bay for one extra day. I thought for sure that management at Honey Bear would be understanding of the situation and to my request for a refund of(1) night for the day I was not able to stay due to Oregon DOT. I was wrong. Evidently management believes that all customers are supposed to be aware of all road conditions ahead of time.

    If you do intend on staying here, be sure to check all road conditions in the area as YOU will be reasonable for them. This means hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, construction, etc. You MUST be able to predict the future and route yourself accordingly. If not, management WILL NOT waiver and you'll stick be stuck with the bill. What a shame.
