Best Campgrounds near Port Orford, OR

715 Reviews

Several campgrounds with ocean views and forested settings surround Port Orford on the southern Oregon coast. Cape Blanco State Park Campground, located 9 miles north of Port Orford, offers tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations with year-round availability and high visitor ratings. Humbug Mountain State Park Campground provides tent and RV sites in a mountain setting with beach access. For those seeking more secluded options, dispersed camping is available at locations like Flat Hilltop Dispersed Site on China Mountain Road and Forest Road 280 near Humbug, both requiring vehicles capable of navigating steep, unpaved roads.

Road conditions vary significantly between established campgrounds and dispersed sites in the Port Orford area. State park campgrounds feature well-maintained access roads and facilities including showers, toilets, and hookups. In contrast, dispersed camping areas require careful navigation. "The road is steep gravel with many switchbacks that were easy to do in our 24ft van coming from the Humbug State Park entrance," noted a visitor to Forest Road 280. Weather conditions can change rapidly, particularly at higher elevations where ocean winds can be intense. Several dispersed sites report significant wind exposure, especially those with ocean views. Cell service is limited or non-existent at more remote camping locations.

Campers consistently highlight ocean views as a primary attraction at dispersed sites near Port Orford. The Flat Hilltop site on China Mountain Road receives praise for its panoramic vistas despite the challenging access. "Great views, and secluded," mentioned one camper who successfully navigated the narrow road with a travel trailer. State parks in the area balance natural settings with conveniences, making them suitable for families and those seeking more comfortable facilities. Humbug Mountain State Park earns recognition for its unique combination of mountain hiking and beach access, with one review describing it as a "magical isolated feel" despite proximity to Highway 101. Wildlife viewing opportunities and relative seclusion compared to more popular Oregon coast destinations make Port Orford an attractive option for campers seeking quieter coastal experiences.

    Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground

    Beware! No refunds whatsoever even w unforeseen events outside of your ctrl

    I hate having to leave a 1-star review as I do actually like this campground; however, I must make others aware of this issue. I was traveling south from Coos Bay, OR. Evidently there was construction on US-101. Not being from the area(or able to predict the future or knowing anything about a service called TripCheck at the time), I was just following Google Maps, Apple Maps and RV Life like I always do. All of the platforms had me circling around for 6 hours leading me onto unpaved roads that would eventually dead end. Evidently all of the mapping systems think there are roads around the problem area, but they were wrong. I would have to unhook, turn everything around, etc. It was terrible!

    I alerted Honey Bear as soon as I became aware of the situation that I was stuck in Coos Bay for one extra day. I thought for sure that management at Honey Bear would be understanding of the situation and to my request for a refund of(1) night for the day I was not able to stay due to Oregon DOT. I was wrong. Evidently management believes that all customers are supposed to be aware of all road conditions ahead of time.

    If you do intend on staying here, be sure to check all road conditions in the area as YOU will be reasonable for them. This means hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, construction, etc. You MUST be able to predict the future and route yourself accordingly. If not, management WILL NOT waiver and you'll stick be stuck with the bill. What a shame.

    Forrest Road 280 near Humbug

    Secluded and windy

    I stayed at the site just up the road atop the hill which made for a windy night but it was nice and quiet. I didn’t see a soul other than the few cars that meandered down the dirt road below me.

    Bluebill Campground

    good place to sleep

    solid campground with drinking water, i usually opt for free dispersed camping so the price (30$ with reservation fee) was a bit much for me but it’s nothing crazy. it’s maybe 7 minutes off 101 which is very convenient as well.

    Harris Beach State Park Campground

    Sea to Trail

    Right by the sea, right by some trails, close to Brookings and Chetco River. This campground is clean and quiet, mainly private, flat sites. Staff are on top of it and very friendly. Easy walk to the beach with awesome views.

    Humbug Mountain State Park Campground

    Little pricey but worth it

    This spot is great! We generally don’t stay at paid campsites but this one was worth it! The restrooms were very clean along with the shower area. The campground is kept neat and are plenty of spots. We drive up and paid online BUT the spots fill up fairly quickly and by the end of the night the park was full! There is access to the beach that is about a 1/2 mile walk but so worth it!! We would definitely stay here again!

    Why we came

    Our spot was right by beach access. Unfortunately everyone walks by with their dogs which causes ours to bark. Neighbor complained. We understand. We were warned about theft when we checked in. Apparently people come in off beach and stole bicycles? Kind of a bummer but we did not have any issues. Wonderful location if you want to experience Oregon beach. Sites are big and comfortable. I have not seen comfort station but I’m sure it’s nice. Worth the money.
