Located at the state's westernmost tip, and perched over the Pacific Ocean, Cape Blanco features a 19th-century lighthouse and an early Irish settler's home. Use our private, sheltered campsites as your base camp while you enjoy the park's history, trails and rugged coastline.
More than eight miles of hiking trails lead to the beach, viewpoints of ocean vistas, fishing spots along the Sixes River, and the lighthouse. On horseback, follow a seven-mile trail or enjoy a 150-acre open riding area across from the horse camp.
Horse campers will enjoy twelve new pipe corrals, installed in early 2018 in partnership with Oregon Equestrian Trails. These corrals are available first-come, first-served for Cape Blanco horse campers. Those with additional horses can trailer-tie them or use portable corrals.

Our host was gracious, gave us our pick of spots. Beautiful place, well kept, clean bathrooms and showers. Little store nearby. Would be happy to stay again if ever in the area!

This little RV park is a hidden Gem tucked along the Rogue River. The campground is kept up very nicely, with beautiful trees and lush greenery around. The host is a nice older man who was very accommodating. We got he Wifi code and was able to stream our Netflix which was nice because we were rained in. The park is also close to the town with many restaurants and trails close by.

Beautiful views of the ocean and Beach. Our site c3 is large, shaded and very clean upon our arrival.

This was a real treat on our Coastal trip of Oregon. Nestled back along Cape Blanco near the lighthouse we were tucked away in the trees and a hike away to the ocean. Take a short drive down the road and you’re at the light house with some beautiful spots to hike and see the rock formations in the ocean.
Ranger
Stayed in a cabin and it was beautiful. The front porch provided a fabulous view to the Chetco River.
If you fish and don't have a trailer or camper these cabins are perfect. Fire ring and table are provided as well.
Well worth the price.
GuideSuper happy with this cozy little campground. Good size spots, very clean, nicely maintained, nearby hiking in the redwoods, and a river right next to the campground. Recommended!!!
GuideWe stayed one night here during a trip down the Oregon coast. We have a 37' TT, it was a little tight trying to back in, our neighbor across from us was gracious enough to move his truck. The sites themselves are very spacious, with a picnic table and fire pit. The sites were surrounded by blackberry bushes which was cool.
We did not use the bathrooms, but the park and the outside of the facilities all looked clean, and they also had cabins available near the river, which was so peaceful!

This campground must be the “first camp out” for so many Northern California kids, at least of my generation. It was the first time my family drove for HOURS (“are we there yet?” And then the result was spectacular. The river vibe, the rope swing, the ancient redwoods, the dappled sunlight, the bbq. And yes, there’s a store nearby in the middle of nowhere to pick up whatever you need.
It really is family-lovely. Your kids will make friends with the others. If you can plan an extended stay, do it!
Recently, I just drove around the grounds, on my way back to SF, just for fun, and I thought, wow, I’m ready to experience this place as a childless oldster. I want to bird my ass off. I want to go offseason. All of it!

Camping at Rambling Redwoods offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature, surrounded by the majestic Redwoods. The campground provides a variety of amenities, including a playground and horseshoe pits, as well as a dog wash area for your furry friends. Well-maintained bathrooms and showers featuring good water pressure—a welcome comfort in the great outdoors. The availability of a laundry room adds a touch of convenience to the rustic camping experience. We were in site 31 which was a very level dirt pull-thru and parked our truck between two huge trees. My only negative thought is that the back of the site only had a couple of logs separating sites 31 and 30. I may not have felt this an issue had the people at site 30 kept their dogs on a leash which would have prevented their three dogs from coming over and trying to attack my dog. Yes, the park has a leash rule. When planning a trip to the Redwood State and National Park, mapping out your destinations is crucial, as some attractions can be quite a distance from the campground.
GuideWe loved having a playground right around the bend that the kids could enjoy, and the hot water showers were clean and tidy. The sites themselves offered little privacy, but we knew what we were signing up for when we booked this campground. We wanted a base to explore the Redwoods NP and the beaches nearby, and Harris Beach State Park worked nicely!

When I booked this, I was under the impression we'd be able to see the Ocean from the park. Don't get your hopes up. Only certain spots actually get that perk, and "premium" sites like the one I reserved are not among those that get a view. In fact, we were more than a little confused that the "premium" site we paid good money for landed us right next to the dumpsters and sewer station. Our "lawn" area between us and the nearest neighbor was a narrow patch of powdery dirt and dying weeds. From where we were, it looked like all the camper spaces on the Southeast end of the park were in the same situation. Zero shade, zero green grass, and campers wedged as closely together as the law allows.
The activity room in the lodge building was a plus. The kids had a blast playing ping-pong, arcade games, and foosball. We arrived at about ten minutes til 4pm, and the gal working the counter took every effort to communicate that to us as clearly as possible that we needed to leave by 4. If you want to have fun up there get an early start.
The showers/bathroom were nice, albeit in desperate need of ventilation.
This area of the OR coast is beautiful and there are plenty of things to see and do. It's not so touristy as the northern OR coast, and not as populated as the central OR coast. The beach is probably a 10 minute walk from most sites, which is okay unless you want to take chairs, picnic basket, etc, then you'll be driving to Ophir beach, which seemed to have its share of recreational smokers and the kind of "pilgrims" you tend to see along the 101.
My main problem with Honeybear was the price. We paid a premium price for a spot that ended up looking nothing like the photos I was looking at. There were no trees or shade, no ferns or other foliage. It was just a patch of semi-flat dirt. Walking through the park I did see a lot of far prettier spaces through the grounds where there were lots of trees, or an ocean view so I'd highly suggest you do your research before reserving a space. Avoid spaces 74 and up, unless you're fine camping in a parking lot.
Full disclosure: I did book this spot 1 month before our arrival date, so there wasn't much left at that point… that's on me. Even so, the term "premium" just feels like false advertising to me. Premium price, yes. Premium location, no.

Site #7 has a fire ring (restrictions may apply) picnic table and excellent view of the Rogue River.
Restrooms have flush toilets and a code lock.
GuideThis campground is the real deal when it comes to fun and family camping experiences. The CG staff is courteous and knowledgeable. There is onsite trash and recycling, water flush toikrts, sinks, and an awesome playground. Paths to the beach as well. The campground fills up quickly with online reservations. Close to nearby scenic stops, like Thunder Rock Cove, Secret Beach, and so on.
TravelerThis site reminded us of home camping. Spacious and private. Lots of trees and beautiful trails to walk. The views of the ocean and the trail down to the beach were incredible. Would stay here longer next time though it was a bit chilly.
GuideI really enjoyed camping here. Most sites aren’t very private but you’re close to the beach! There were bear and cougar sightings while we stayed, but had no issues. I was surprised they didn’t have any bear boxes, but we left all food and scented items in the car instead.
RangerThe rv sites are well spaced and ha e hedge between for a bit of privacy, so.e of thw tent sites are closer together and closer to the interstate. Some good hiking paths. Clean warm showers, a dump station, and the beach! MANY sites, some better than others. The out of state booking fee and$8 online convenience fee to book o line was annoying and made the ine day stay $50, but since we just left CA, that seemed in family.
GuideA beautifu wooded campground high up on a bluff overlooking a stunning beach. Campsites were well spaced with lots of privacy. Extremely loud highway noise with frequent truck downshifting and braking for an adjacent speed zone. For us this noise greatly diminished the otherwise very nice campground.
GuideWe stayed there for a night on our summer road trip and it was beautiful. The sunset on the beach was amazing and the kids had a great time playing in the water. Hot showers as well but note that they close at 10 PM. Our only take away was that the site was slanted and uneven and that made it hard to find a place to set up tents easily.
TravelerThe campsite was great, there were many people but the landscaping is made so that each campsite feels secluded. Felt safe and friendly. Bathrooms and showers just a short walk away and cleaned daily. Town nearby and short walk or drive to beach.
TravelerCampground is co-operated by State Park and National Park Service... therefore will receive National Park Access Pass discounts! A lovely campground nestled in the redwoods with river access. No hookups. Restrooms have flush toilets. Showers are also available. Nice walking trails originate from the campground. A small history center is onsite. The amphitheater also has frequent ranger programs. Sites also mostly level. Would stay again.

Perfect for a weeknight stop when on the road, bathrooms were clean enough. Quiet on a summer weeknight. Beautiful forest.
GuideHarris beach is a big park with different types of camp sites, I stayed in a yurt. Its also got easy access to the beach.
Traveler
I don’t know of a more perfect place to camp in the trees. Majestic views and so peaceful.
GuideGreat ocean views and not too crowded. Snagged a last minute opening at this campground. Didn’t feel overly crammed into spaces, clean restroom, and well maintained. Short walk where I had the beach to myself because of the rain and cold (loved it!).
RangerThis is a beautiful location. The beach is a short walk from the further campsite with other sites quite close. Amazing rocks just off the shore.
Every site is super clean.
Camp staff are so pleasant and visible cleaning and maintain the campground so well.
Only drawback is the lumber mill across the 101. They literally worked ALL night the first night we stayed.
Other than that, we’ll surely return here.
RangerEnjoying our stay. When we booked it, I had no idea this is the windiest place on the Oregon Coast lol.
Our 2nd night, we couldn't sit outside & enjoy a campfire, way too windy. Other than that, it's been great.
A few nice trails here, like others mentioned it's a steep climb out of the beach area. The trail to the lighthouse is easy & enjoyable.
Groceries, gas, and a few eateries in town, 5-6 miles away
ScoutLoved it, the kids had a blast running around the woods. Really easy pull thru site that fit our camper and both vehicles.
