Best Campgrounds near Gold Beach, OR

796 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.

    Harris Beach State Park Campground

    Sea to Trail

    Right by the sea, right by some trails, close to Brookings and Chetco River. This campground is clean and quiet, mainly private, flat sites. Staff are on top of it and very friendly. Easy walk to the beach with awesome views.

    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!

    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.

    Cape Blanco State Park Campground

    Private, wooded, lots of berries, gorgeous.

    I absolutely loved my stay here. My site had everything I needed for great solo car camping; sink dump nearby, water, plenty of privacy but not so much I felt isolated. I could sort of hear but not see my neighbors, and my site had a pretty special hidden feature behind the campfire - the perfect unexpected spot for my hammock. I was pretty close to the bathrooms which were quite clean. breakfast included huckleberries collected around my site. I got in late and left early so didn't have time to fully explore the nearby area but I could hear the ocean all night which was lovely.

    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.
