Elliott State Forest Dispersed
Evil Jonkler
This spot was interesting to say the least. It's a beautiful 30ish minute drive from coos bay, depending on where you camp along the road. There are many connecting roads off the main one which might have possible campsites, but we didn't check too many of them out. One led to a watering hole supposedly. We found a very small site at the top of the mountain with a nice view, but there wasn't enough room for a tent and car. We decided on a spot that was completely enclosed by trees and bushes, but wasn't directly under the forest. It was an okay area, nothing special. I would not have stayed there more than 1 night. Pros: -quiet and secluded -some spots have a nice view -wild blackberries growing around
Cons: -most connecting roads and campsites are unmapped -spooky forest at night
- no amenities or fire rings -some rough roads and can get very narrow towards the top -insects buzzing around at night -had a creature walking around our tent at night for 2-3 hours that sounded bipedal. We don't know what it was, but definitely not anything small, or a deer. Could have been a bear. Could have been a skinwalker, who knows 🤷♀️ Stay 2 nights at your own risk Also, no cell service
