"Oregon does it right! While there are traditional spots for RV and tent camping, the Hike and Bike area was awesome. Each spot is private with a table and fire pit."
"My favourite campground I stayed at along the Oregon coast."
$15 - $25 / night
"Have access to water, a big bathroom, but pay $2 for a shower. Garbage and Recycle by the office. Close to a river hike along the river. Open year round."
"There are lots and lots of sites that are very close together with just about zero separation between sites other than a few lucky tucked away sites. "
"Nice dog park too. Tent sites are very spaced out and lovely."
"Great bathrooms/showers except the port a potties out in the valley campsites don’t get a lot of attention so we had to walk up to the lodge for the bathroom."
"There is a path to the beach/ocean. It’s a couple of minutes walk from any site there. Ranging from 2 to 5 minutes depending on how far your site is from the path. Everyone is pretty relaxed."
"This was the first time I'd been to Oregon in several decades, and first trip with our new trailer outside of our home state, and it did not disappoint."
$30 - $45 / night
"The campground is located next to the Rouge River which is just on the other side of the road. Also located near the town of Gold Beach. The spot is beautiful and well kept."
"Please note the dirt shows this campground on the Riverside of the road and it's actually a cross on the other side away from the river.. just a mile off the main 101 highway."
$25 - $81 / night
"A great place to camp along the gorgeous Oregon coast and everything there is to do in Port Orford."
"During a beautiful sunny April weekend along the Oregon Coast, campsites are difficult to find."
"Wile road tripping to oregon from Los Angeles, we stopped here for the night. Relatively affordable, very clean, and not busy (at least while we were there)."
"It has great access to the river and a nice boat ramp. It’s a little small for big trailers( I did see some trailers tho) but perfect for tents."
"Very short walk to beach or jetty. Borders small airport where you can watch planes land or take off, but we only saw one over 2 days. Very quiet. Only complaint is internet is down most the time."
"You do have to walk your stuff there but it’s totally worth it. The first night was great but the second night was a torrential downpour that woke us up."
"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."
"Secret Camp is a small, quiet campground in a forest, close to the River. Parking spots are large and shaded."
$26 - $71 / night
"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."
"Just outside of Brookings,Oregon on Rt. 101, this well kept campground was a welcome two day layover during the rainy weather that’s typical of the PNW during mid-November."
GuideLovely spot. Best TV park we’ve ever stayed at. Sites feel more like “camping” and less like “parking lot” like many RV places. More open space. Nice dog park too. Tent sites are very spaced out and lovely.
ScoutI stayed here over the winter. The staff is great. They have a monthly rate in the winter months. They have tiny homes for rent, propane, laundry, a little store, and sites with hot tubs. The sites all have nice grassy patches, a picnic table, and a fire pit. There is a path to the beach/ocean. It’s a couple of minutes walk from any site there. Ranging from 2 to 5 minutes depending on how far your site is from the path. Everyone is pretty relaxed. Just a few people are permanent residents and I was one of the longest stays for the winter. It’s generally pretty quiet. They have a dog park. It’s a great place. I’d highly recommend it.
LegendI have always liked this area of Oregon, and it seems like most of the inhabitants at this RV park do, too. Most of the people I spoke to had been there for a period of several months although did not consider themselves permanent residents. It has enough amenities for you to feel comfortable and relaxed and enough nature around that you’re probably getting your fix of what drove you to the RV life in the first place.
Hot showers are available at no extra charge. There is no laundry on site, but there is a laundromat a couple miles away along the highway. Heading back toward civilization you can also find some restaurants, trails, a coffee shop, and (of course) beaches, but if you are mobility impaired it would be difficult to walk to all of this, especially things like the laundromat, if you didn’t have a smaller vehicle.
Wifi was included, and it actually worked at a semi reasonable speed - maybe only the second time I have seen this during a lot of traveling in the area.
Full hookups are available with power, sewer, water, trash service — 22 sites, two of which are pull through. If you are staying for more than a month then you pay for metered electricity and not flat rate. Pretty pet friendly, but they have a sizable list of rules to go along with it (as a pet owner I’m in favor of this, there are some really inconsiderate pet owners out there and it’s nice to find a park that doesn’t just ban them altogether).
Lots of signs and notes about how they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time for anything. I suspect there have probably been some problems with this in the past. However, again, props to them for handling it, as irresponsible folks (or irresponsible pet owners) shouldn’t take away from everyone else’s experience.
TravelerVery nice campground. Not pet friendly. (No dog exercise area). No ocean views but with in a short drive to the beach.
GuidePretty location close to town, beach goes on for miles in either direction and campsites are located practically on the sand. The downside is the beach is usually busy and not much can be found unless you’re an early riser. Beach is pet friendly and rv is usually the best accommodations here.
GuideGood spot has almost everything. From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees
GuideFirst time staying at a KOA and we were pleasantly surprised. Employees were super friendly and the campground was wooded and beautiful. Tent site was a little small, but small fences have been installed to create privacy between campers and the size didn’t bother us. Site had a picnic table and fire pit. Pool, hot tub, kart rentals for kids… our daughter loved it. Clean bathrooms and showers and even a dishwashing station behind the main building. Firewood sold for $10/bundle and they deliver it to your site for you. Pet friendly. Loved it!
RangerA great place to camp along the gorgeous Oregon coast and everything there is to do in Port Orford. If you are hiking the Oregon Coast Trail, this is a great spot to take a break, or to spend a weekend camping and also enjoying nearby activities. I appreciate the campground has recylxing, and a dog-friendly cabin if you want to stay with your pet. Dogs love the beaches nearby! You are just 17 minutes to fun Port Orford stops like the One Lump Or Two coffee shop (which sells model airplane gear in the front of the shop-- small town quirks!) and Redfish Grill.
One of the hilights of our visit was when we went kayaking with South Coast Tours in the waters off Samuel H. Boardman State Park and you can see some amazing things at low tide, like starfish, sea urchins, harbor seals, and lots of mussels. At higher tides they'll take you through sea caves and some of the arches near Nelly's cove. We also did some really nice hikes. My favorite in the area was down to Secret Beach!
GREGIRY JUNO 3D HYDRO PACK REVIEW
As a Dyrt Ranger, sometimes I get to review camping gear. On this trip, I brought along my new Gregory Juno 3D Hydro Pack. It was really roomy, and in addition to three liters of water also held all the clothes I needed for four days, including warmer, bulkier layers. My sneakers fit nicely in the stretchy front mesh pocket and the generous side mesh compartments were plenty big enough for snacks.
I love how comfortable this pack is, with padded breathable straps and the "vapor span" design to the back that keeps you from getting too sweaty while alao providing cushioning. As a 5'6 size 8-10 gal, I was really pleased with the fit. The bag sits nicely on my hips and stops short of my neck.
The hydro pack is sturdy and easy to use. I do wish this bag had a clearer place to put my laptop for when I'm traveling, but thats really my only complaint. I was pleasantly surprised by how many pockets there are, including an interior zipper pocket with key ring. The pockets are all a bright color that contrasts with the exterior, making it extra easy to look for you things. No dark cavernous interior swallowing your stuff!
Very pleased with my first Gregory pack. Its comfortable and thoughtdully designed in a way that far surpasses my big North Face backpacking pack. I definitely want to get more Gregory products in the future as I replace my older camping gear and invest in new pieces.
LegendDuring a beautiful sunny April weekend along the Oregon Coast, campsites are difficult to find. We had to break our no reservations rule to snag the last campsite within the state park system along the Oregon Coast.
It was nice, though, to have a nice site reserved for us but we just don’t like having to pay $8 to reserve a site. Online reservation system does make it easy, though.
This is a beautiful campground with lighted wooded paths to the restrooms with free showers. Our site number A45 was very private next to the accommodating camp host. There is beach access via a narrow road but it is a spectacular one. We even saw a Jeep drive down to make its way along the beach which in Oregon is a highway. They were free range sheep near the beach so be careful when you drive down. It isn’t too far to walk from the campground and is very scenic.
This is a lovely campground and we would stay again. We talked to a couple from Bandon just north who said they camp here once a month.
