Best Campgrounds near Gold Beach, OR

787 Reviews

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.
