RangerJeez this place was PACKED, sprawling and just way too much going on. Being in a bit of a valley the campfire smoke just sits there, air quality is not good here. There’s a cute little creek that looked fun, but yeah it was totally bustling and loud and crazy here the night we stayed. Sites lack privacy, just really a bunch of sardines here.
RangerAnother year at Loeb and I was glad to be back! Unlike my last visit I did not wind up with the best campsite this time around. At site 30 you’re really crammed into your neighbors buttcracks. Would be fine if the place wasn’t loaded to the brim with small children and permissive parents, but that is the way of popular PNW campgrounds these days. Anyway, as always the bathrooms are very well maintained, showers aren’t frightening and proximity to the Chetco is such a special treat. No fire ban in July. We later had site 11 and felt like it was way more private and quiet on that side of the campground, being not as directly apart of the loop the kids ride their bikes through. I suppose it’s luck of the draw who your neighbors will wind up being, but at Loeb just expect interaction with other people lol
LegendWhat would have been a much nicer spot was ruined by a presumably ass hat local who left a giant engine block smack in the middle of the campsite. Aside from that, a decent spot for a one nighter. Creek just yards down a fairly difficult slope. Easy access to this and the other pulloffs nearby, with room for groups at each. Just watch out for the teeth rattling dip in the pavement 200 yards in from 99.
LegendAfter a longer than expected stint at jiffy lube, I gave up getting to where I had planned and found this spot. Just a short, moderately steep climb up asphalt, I landed where pictured. I'm 30 ft total with my setup and that's all there's room for. And you better know how tight turn your trailer. Barely room for a turnaround. Vault toilet was relatively clean and well stocked with tp. Video tells the rest.
GuideThe trees are thick. My starlink would not connect but I had 1 bar of service here if there. Nice bathrooms. Very quiet and clean.
ScoutWhat big disappointe. Very run down with mostly year round people. Mostly run down junkers. The people next to us live in a tent. Pictures on the website is a lie.
TravelerFairly tight RV camping but nice facilities and staff plus access to the Rogue River.
TravelerWe had a pleasant stay up here. The river still is pretty cold. But very great scenery and views. We heard of rattlesnakes being pretty rampant here right now, but we didn’t see or hear any during our stay. The only bathrooms was at the campsite, but for the day you area that one is currently closed.
GuideIf campgrounds with all the services are your thing, then this is the place for you! Paved roads and parking, flush toilets, showers, access to the ocean!
If quiet dispersed camping is more you’re style, look elsewhere. But this is a lovely well-maintained campground
