    Overview

    THIS FACILITY IS CLOSED TO RESERVATIONS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE Quail Prairie Lookout offers guests a unique lodging experience in the Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest in western Oregon. On a clear day, visitors are treated to spectacular views of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness from the top of the 41-foot tower. The tower was completed in 1963 and served as one of the last lookouts built by the southwestern Oregon Forest Service until the mid 1990's, when it was converted for recreational purposes. Today campers can enjoy a unique lodging experience in the historic structure, which offers basic amenities and spectacular views of the surrounding area. Although the facility provides basic amenities, guests must bring a few of their own supplies to ensure a safe and comfortable stay.

    Recreation

    The nearby Upper Chetco Trail is the main east/west route through the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. It offers access to the Chetco River and two main tributaries. Heavy vegetation provides shade but eliminates most views, and at least three significant long and steep sections provide a challenging backpacking experience. Anglers will enjoy the remote location and scenic backdrop of the nearby Chetco River, providing angling opportunities for trout, steelhead, and salmon in season. The Chetco starts in steep, deeply dissected, sparsely vegetated, mountainous terrain within the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. At night the lookout is an ideal setting for stargazing, as constellations and planets put on a dazzling display.

    Natural Features

    The lookout affords panoramic views of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness and the Chetco River drainage. The Kalmiopsis Wilderness is an area of great geological and botanical interest. Many of the rocks were formerly parts of the oceanic crust, while diverse plant life provides evidence of adaptation to the area's harsh soils. The Kalmiopsis leachian, a shrub discovered in the Gold Basin area in 1930, is a relic of the pre-ice age. The Kalmiopsis Wilderness is named after this unique endemic plant. Diverse landscapes provide habitat for a wide-range of wildlife, from spotted owls and black-tail deer to salamanders and salmon. These species, along with many others, depend on surrounding undeveloped wilderness, undisturbed wetlands, clean streams, and diverse forests to live.

    Wonderful staff, nice stay for the night

    We were travelling up the coast into the night and not finding somewhere to tent camp when we stopped here. There was a sign that said not to camp without registering but the office was closed. A nice couple gave us the wifi password and we called the number on the sign. They were very helpful and told us where the tent sites were and to pay in the morning. We camped in a big meadow by the creek with not a single other camper there in the tent area. My son loved discovering a newt and slug by the creek in the morning. We also made use of the showers and laundry services. Price was 45 for tent site, which wasn't cheap but reasonable.

    Great setup!

    All the campsites along 101 for miles were taken and we saw the sign to this place...

    Wow! We were surprised that they had a single tent camping site left. They were surprised too in fact. Anyway, the place is a legit resort. Its some 50 acres and the tent campsites reside away from the RV area a little ways. Enough to seem secluded. They situated the place perfectly. My words cannot describe the elegance. Its a great natural setting. They set you up with a map. $25 a night but well worth it. 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. It was great. Very clean. Staff are mostly there to run the main store and RV area and are very accommodating if you need assistance. Again, the buildings and RVs are a little walk (out of sight) of the tent camping area. Showers if you need them. Beach is a short 1/4 mile walk across 101. Water available. If you’re looking for deep forest rough camping this isnt it. If you’re looking for easy going camping and beauty, this is just the place.

    Easy, convenient, peaceful

    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). 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. We set up for the night at the tent sites where we had a nice dinner with a beautiful night sky above us. The river is a good fishing spot, according to some local fisherman we met in the morning following our stay. There were bathrooms but they were locked. We had good service though. The site we chose wasn't particularly hidden or private, so anyone driving in or out of the road to the river, whether that's someone launching a boat or a ranger checking fishing licenses, they will have a full view of your entire site, something to consider if you require privacy.

    Last minute stop

    I snagged a tent site same day, Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. Super thankful to have a place for the night, but the tent sites are super small & on top of each other. I’m glad I can sleep in my Tacoma because I have a little more of a sound barrier and privacy.

    A Standard Stop

    This is usually my first camping stop (tent camping) when I enter Oregon.  Does not look like much from the road but a choice little camping spot.  Like all Oregon State Parks it is well maintained, great facilities and of course hot showers.  You can access the coast and beach and hike the hills.

    This area of the Oregon Coast is a must see.

    One of the Best!

    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. Showers are included in your fee, the campground is quiet, and there is a nice walk to the beach (dogs are allowed). The campground is well maintained and clean. Very relaxing.

    Good location close to the coast. Had a straight tent site which was basic as would be expected. The big negative is that the sites are close together so there isn't much privacy.

    Love this campground

    Bullard is a must see if you are on the Oregon Coast. The campground is full of overgrown greenery, it has many RV, Tent sites and a couple Yurts. The best part about Bullards State Park is the Beach and the lighthouse. The beach is awesome for beach combing with clam fossils, agates and lots of drift wood. The tide can be a little crazy, so keep an eye out.

    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.

And it’s right on the river. Campsites are pretty well spaced out and there’s always a spot available!

    Our son-in-law took us to this campground where we stayed over night over the 4th of July holiday in 2018. On this occasion we were tent camping. It was a quiet and enjoyable camp. the amenities were clean and well maintained. We will be going back there when we are in the area again.

    Lovely Lake

    We were down in Southern Oregon for the Caves.

     We stayed in the Heron loop which was the smallest and most primitive, It was wonderful and we had the whole south of the lake to ourselves. Firewood here is not bundled and since it was off season we got a huge amount for$5. The hosts were terrific. This was a wonderful quiet stay.

     Will always be back.

    This year it was pretty spendy for a tent site $24

    My favorite campground

    Have stayed at Loeb many times over the past 37 years -- tent camping, cabin camping, and now tent-trailering -- and it has been fun every time.

    The showers are great. Short walk to the super-clean Chetco River for swimming and salamander-camping. Twenty minute drive to the ocean beaches. Good hosts. Fun watching kids ride their bikes around and around. Grassy park-lawn section for croquet or bocce ball.

    Enjoyed tent camping along the river. Small trails lead you down to the trail from camp site. Very clean campground. Camp host Kevin was wonderful and full of information about the area. Had fun playing horseshoe that was in the campground. Loves that they had fire buckets out through the campground so fired can be put out completely. Definitely will be coming back.

    Decent stopover on the way down the coast

    Ok for car camping, this campground provides a decent stopover point on the drive down the CA coast highway. It is fairly close to the highway, so you can hear highway traffic. Not recommended for relaxing tent camping. Good night's sleep for van camping or RV camping. Spots are close together but fairly well separated by trees and shrubs. Bathrooms clean, flush toilets, even hot water.

    I love coming to this campground on my trips north from CA. You always feel like you’re in the wild camping on the beach and yet civilization is so close 🤗. They have tent sites on the beach with tables, RV sites, campers, cottages to rent. Laundry facilities is you need them and a cute camp store if you forgot something.

    Wide open area

    There are no wind breaks at all and there is nothing between the other camp sites. Other than that it wasn't bad. They have a restaurant on site. There are RV sites, tent sites and cabins. The park is right on the beach so there is almost no walking to get to the water. I wouldn't stay there again just because of the wind.

    Amongst the trees

    We were having difficulties finding a campground that wasn't full at the beginning of the 4th of July weekend. We ended up here and the staff were incredibly nice. There were reservations beginning the next day and the staff let us stay in one for the night. There was plenty of privacy, hook-ups for RV's (we tent camp), no-fee showers, clean restrooms, and an easy walk down by the river. We would definitely stay here again.

    Solid location, strict speed rules

    Really great campground: pretty location right on the river, hot showers, restrooms, fire pits. It looked like it was all tent sites (no hookups) but plenty of big rigs were there as well. They take the 5 mph rule very seriously. We drove in at about 10 and corrected to 5 when the assistant camp host screamed at us and then drove to our campsite to yell at us more.

    Beautiful and FREE!!!

    Awesome little campground in the thick of the forest that backs up to the Elk River. The drive there is a narrow, winding road along the Elk River, lush green ferns and trees, and over a dozen small waterfalls. The small campground is free to campers and managed by the United States Forest Service. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are vault toilets. The campsites are accessible by vehicle, making it perfect for truck camping or tent camping. There is no cell phone reception or nearby services.

    Awesome Tent 🏕 Camping!

    This is mostly an RV Park and cabin rentals but there are 4 tent spots right on the beach that are phenomenal. You feel like you have your own place on the beach. 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. Definitely hit or miss with rain but absolutely a great find. They have large family yurts and cabins to get away from the rain but these tent sites are my favorite!

    Another good KOA

    Plenty of tent/RV sites as per KOA fashion. They offer deluxe tent sites with water/electric. Fairly cheap for Tenters like myself. The campground itself is nice with tall mossy trees characteristic of the area. Pool and hot tub are also available for guests. Camp store is well stocked. They offer breakfast for $8 Sat and Sunday. Camp store also sells icecream. Laundry and showers are clean and the common area has a pool table and Jukebox. Port Orford is down the road for most any need.
