    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground welcomes pets with spacious camping options across 50 acres, including tent sites spaced 50-75 yards apart for privacy. Several pet-friendly campgrounds near Ophir accommodate dogs in various lodging types including RV sites, cabins, and tent camping areas. The tent camping area at Honey Bear features soft grass ground, picnic tables, and fire pits situated behind two large ponds away from the main RV section. Camping guests appreciate the park's numerous dog walking paths and designated dog park area. Lobster Creek Campground and Huntley Park also permit pets, with Huntley Park offering camping access along the Rogue River with boat-in options and water hookups.

    Beach access is available near most pet-friendly campgrounds in the area, with Ophir Wayside Rest Area providing direct beach access where dogs can enjoy shoreline walks. The short quarter-mile trail from Honey Bear to the ocean crosses Highway 101, allowing convenient beach access for pets and their owners. Tent campers report that the meadow sites at Honey Bear provide excellent space for dogs to stretch out, though they may need to walk to the main lodge area for bathroom facilities rather than using the port-a-potties in the valley camping area. Several campgrounds feature dog-friendly hiking trails along the Rogue River, including a river hike near Huntley Park. Local weather can change rapidly with rain potentially affecting camping plans, so proper pet shelter is recommended when exploring this beautiful section of the Oregon coast.

      Laughing Alpaca Campground

      Laughing alpaka is great!

      Situated on the Illinois River in Cave junction Oregon, this rare and friendly park is perfect. It has a big park area with river access and hammocks and a deck and fire pit. There are horse shoe pits, a dog park, laundry facility, showers and bathrooms, a party/ common room. Billiards and foosball room, beautiful parks nearby and very friendly people. Just wonderful!

      Relaxing Park near 101

      Lots to do here. Game room, playground, horseshoes, store, laundry and showers. There is also a trail to the beach, which is a bit of a walk across 101. They have the biggest dog park I've ever seen with a small pond in it. Ocean view sites higher, $50 where we were with full hookups.

      Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground

      It’s great for an RV park

      Lovely 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.

      Turtle Rock RV Resort

      Great for long or short term stay

      I 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.

      Gold Beach RV Park

      Nice spot to stay awhile

      I 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.

      Bullards Beach State Park Campground

      Nice campground

      Very nice campground. Not pet friendly. (No dog exercise area). No ocean views but with in a short drive to the beach.

      Beachfront RV Park

      Quaint

      Pretty 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.

      Great spot

      Good spot has almost everything. From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees

      Bandon-Port Orford KOA

      Very cozy experience.

      First 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!


    Guide to Ophir

    The Oregon coast near Ophir offers year-round camping opportunities, with seasonal temperature averages ranging from 40°F in winter to 65°F in summer. Located in Curry County, this coastal region sits at an elevation of just 13 feet above sea level with prevailing northwest winds that can intensify during winter months. Campgrounds in this area provide varying levels of wind protection depending on their distance from the shoreline and surrounding terrain.

    What to do

    Beach exploration: 1/4 mile from campgrounds: At Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground, visitors have easy beach access. "My son loved discovering a newt and slug by the creek in the morning. We also made use of the showers and laundry services," notes Kristen S., highlighting natural discoveries beyond the shoreline.

    Lighthouse tours: 15 miles south: Cape Blanco Lighthouse offers historical perspective on the Oregon coast. A camper at Cape Blanco State Park Campground explains, "The ride into Cape Blanco is also beautiful with a river winding it's way out to the sea, a tourist stop at the Hughes House and a stop at the Cape Blanco Lighthouse."

    Fishing: Both river and ocean access: Huntley Park Campground provides river access for fishing enthusiasts. "We stayed for a night it was just ok. It's dry camping, if you are coming with a trailer you should know that," shares Karen A., noting important considerations for anglers bringing equipment.

    Boating: Multiple launch points: Rogue River access is available at several campgrounds. Anton Y. from Lobster Creek Campground notes, "You can walk down to the river to fish, where there were also RVs camping on the beach. Tent camping is limited to very few sites but it looked like there was plenty of rv space."

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the thoughtful spacing at certain campgrounds. At Honey Bear, Oliver K. notes, "Your closest neighbor is like 50-75 yards away at least. Soft grass ground, picnic table, fire pit. We got a site placed right behind two large ponds huge meadows."

    Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms are consistently mentioned in positive reviews. At Humbug Mountain State Park Campground, Rich J. states, "Typical, well maintained State campground. Sites are spread out, bathrooms are clean. Close to hiking and other area attractions (although not on the beach)."

    Natural surroundings: The forested setting at many campgrounds provides wind protection. "The campground is gorgeous! It's nestled among Sitka spruce trees. They provide a lot of privacy between you and your neighbors and are just so pretty," describes Mea H. about Cape Blanco State Park.

    Wildlife viewing: Bird watching and marine life observation opportunities abound. Stevann H. describes Huntley Park: "Bald eagles & river otters were common sights. There are bathrooms, showers & trash disposal."

    What you should know

    Weather changes quickly: Wind and rain can affect camping plans substantially. At Turtle Rock RV Resort, David M. notes, "This is a fantastic campground on Hunter Creek just south of Gold Beach. It's is right up against the 101 and that's the only reason it's not 5 stars in my view."

    Site selection matters: Not all sites offer the same experience, even within the same campground. James at Honey Bear cautions, "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."

    Reservation requirements vary: Some campgrounds require advance booking while others operate first-come, first-served. Ryan W. explains, "They don't accept reservations so this is a great place to luck into or make a destination if you're winging it (as always no res needed for hiker/biker)."

    Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between locations. Laura M. reports about Huntley Park, "Cell reception was very iffy, basically non existent."

    Tips for camping with families

    Dog-friendly trails: Multiple options: Pet friendly camping near Ophir, Oregon includes access to numerous hiking paths. Vic B. notes about Honey Bear, "Large spaces & lots of dog walks. Camping in the Off-Season in campgrounds like this one is the best of experiences."

    Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer facilities specifically for children. "Fun place to camp, although there is no beach access this campground is well situated back in the trees with restrooms, picnic benches, small ponds and even a playground," Kassidy D. says about Secret Camp RV Park.

    Educational opportunities: Historical and natural learning experiences are available. Randy D. from Humbug Mountain mentions, "Above average shower and bathrooms. Able to access Oregon Coastal Trail from the grounds."

    Safety considerations: Some campgrounds offer better protection from elements than others. Chad L. describes Lobster Creek as "Quiet, but not too far off of 101. Right along the Rogue River so you get to watch 'Mailboat' tours go by - lots of fun for the kids."

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup locations: Consider the practical aspects of RV site layout. At Turtle Rock, Patrick J. warns, "The sewer connections are in some strange places, mostly in front of the RV by quite aways. Our neighbors sewer was right next to our picnic table on the camp side."

    Length restrictions: Some campgrounds have limitations on RV size. "Very nice campground with many things close by to do! I recommend going to and walking down to the beach or going on a hike," advises Maddy D. about Cape Blanco, where space can be limited.

    Seasonal rates: Winter camping offers cost savings at some locations. Ashley K. shares about Turtle Rock, "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."

    Access challenges: Road conditions can impact larger vehicles. Laura M. notes about Huntley Park, "Being on the river and just a few miles inland from the coast did not keep temps down," highlighting how inland locations may differ from coastal campgrounds even when they're relatively close.
