Harris Beach State Park was named after the Scottish pioneer George Scott Harris who settled here in the late 1880s to raise sheep and cattle. The park boasts the largest island off the Oregon coast and is great camping near Portland. Bird Island (also called Goat Island) is a National Wildlife Sanctuary and breeding site for such rare birds as the tufted puffin. The park offers sandy beaches interspersed with rocky outcroppings harboring interesting tide pools with their wide variety of life. Sea stacks dot the ocean just off shore.

We 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!
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.
The sites themselves aren’t very private, but we knew what we were getting when we booked the campground. It was an excellent spot to explore the Bandon area, with beautiful beaches a short drive away. We enjoyed the clean showers and restrooms.
We 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.
This 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.
This 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.
I 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.
The 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.
Large, private campsites. Friendly ranger staff, and fantastic beach a short drive or walk away.
A 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.
We 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.
The 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.
Perfect for a weeknight stop when on the road, bathrooms were clean enough. Quiet on a summer weeknight. Beautiful forest.
Harris beach is a big park with different types of camp sites, I stayed in a yurt. Its also got easy access to the beach.
Great 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!).
This 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.

We had fun here, great beach & scenery. Campsites are fairly close together, not a lot of privacy but it's still a good place.
Make sure you visit Face Rock SP down the road (6 miles) & Old Town Bandon.
Camp workers really keep this place clean. FHU at most of the sites ( B loop closed at this time).
Enjoying 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
Loved it, the kids had a blast running around the woods. Really easy pull thru site that fit our camper and both vehicles.
Another excellent Oregon state park. Nice rangers. Proximity to beautiful Bandon.

This might be one of our favorite state parks along the coast of Oregon. Just a short detour off the Coastal Highway, this park offers some spectacular views, tons of nautical navigation history as well as a lovely campground tucked into the trees.
Like many state parks the campsites are extremely orderly, sparkling clean, reservable and offer electrical service. We typically run exclusively on solar, but it was hard to do with a completely tree covered campground. We appreciated the electrical hook-ups here. Fresh water spigots are scattered throughout the campground, and a dump station will help you empty before getting back on the road. The bath houses are clean, large, and lovely with flush toilets and hot showers.
We rarely make reservations, but we found a couple open sites in the middle of the week. Registration with the very helpful camp hosts was easy. We had to move sites a couple of times to make our desired stay work out, but that’s the price you pay for not reserving.
There are plenty of recreational options nearby, including hiking, beach combing, horse trails and paddling. This part of the Oregon Pacific coast is unprotected so the ocean can be pretty rough for kayaking, but the nearby river might offer a more protected space to explore by kayak, canoe or paddleboard. And, a hike out to the lighthouse at sunset is epic!
Nearby towns along the coastal highway will offer a quick resupply for groceries and gas but the nearest town is Port Orford about 20 minutes away. It doesn’t offer much more than a convenience store and Dollar General. So, plan ahead.
General: A mix of tent sites, electric sites, FHU sites, and yurts.
Site Quality: Varies depending on the type of site and location. All camper pads are paved but they vary in length, with some being very short. The allowed length is indicated on the map, although I cannot recall if I saw this information while making online reservations. Many in the D Loop as well as some in the C Loop are close to 101 and you will hear road noise. IMO, the best sites are A20– 24 and C1 but you have a better chance of winning the lottery than securing one of these sites (I tried at least 7-8 times beginning with the earliest date to reserve to snag one with no luck). We had two sites during our stay and both of them, while different, were wonderful. Site D5-3, a tent site, had three parking spaces in front of the site but we were able to park our campervan horizontally in the three level spaces to best take advantage of the site. Although you could not see the ocean from this site, you can hear it. This site would be good for a small group traveling together with several tents. Our other site (A27) was a FHU and very spacious with foliage on both sides providing plenty of privacy.
Bath/Shower House: All were clean, and the showers were great – good water pressure and almost immediate hot water.
Activities/Amenities: There are several trails that lead you to viewpoints and a gorgeous and rocky beach. There is also a bike path and bike helmet rentals are available (riders under age 16 are required to wear helmets), as well as firewood from 4-7 pm daily. There is a very nice playground. In the summer, junior ranger programs are offered for ages 6-12 and there are evening campfire programs. The scenic 12-mile Samuel Boardman State Scenic Corridor with hiking trails and overlooks; the south end is just three miles north of the park.
We were last at this campground six years ago and loved returning as it is one of our favorite Oregon state parks.
My family and I got a Yurt here and enjoyed this park. One thing I found weird was the yurt only had a code and no key, we found it frustrating using a code to go in and out every time. It is a very large park so make sure you have a park map(I’ll add one with the pictures). The privacy is kind of there, you can still hear your neighbors, but can get privacy while on your porch. Tent sites had very little privacy like most coast places. There are only 3 pet friendly yurts so keep that in mind. There are playgrounds, and other places to do activities. There are also multiple quick ways to the beach. Showers are locker room style and are segregated male and female. One negative I saw was they don’t really prioritize cleanliness there.
Large, but quiet campground in the forest, but moments away from the sand. The sites are private, dog friendly, and well maintained. 5 minutes from town, but feels more remote. We are definitely coming back.
As of tomorrow (10/14/23) they are closing for the off season to replace their sewer main.
