Best Cabin Camping near Port Orford, OR

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.

Had an amazing time at the beach. The breach access is a one lane curvy road kind of scary to drive down. The camp host was very helpful. We visited the historic Hughes house that is on the park grounds. It was built in 1898 and they have tours. The lighthouse is the oldest on the Oregon coast and you can get a tour of it. There are a bunch of trails for people and horses. There are 4 rustic cabins and 58 camp sites. The horse camp has 8 spots. It is 9 miles from Port Orford and 28 miles from Bandon. The camp area is in the middle of large trees so the wind doesn't really hit you. We were a long ways away from the bathroom but it was extremely clean. It is a first come first serve campground except for the cabins. Park in the spot you want them go pay the camp host. www.oregonstateparks.org

A 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.

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. Turtle Rock is a great little RV park tucked right in this little cove off the ocean, it's not massive so you don't feel like you're gonna get lost, but you're not packed in right on top of your neighbor, either. There are plenty of amenities, including a delicious Mexican restaurant, horseshoes, volleyball, a nice bath house with laundry. They even have these cute tiny-house cabins that you can rent, some with patios and hot tubs!! The staff were all SUPER friendly, and helpful, and just genuinely pleasant to be around, and even though we visited in the middle of the pandammit, everyone was in good spirits. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Ocean is beautiful, short walk through campground to get there. The Rogue River enters the Pacific here, so there are Cormorants, Great Blue Heron, and many gulls and ducks. Unfortunately the campground Is run down, showers have holes in them, fans don’t work and are dirty. Campsites are very close together, and those using hot tubs have little privacy.

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.

Beautiful campground. Pretty quiet except for some road noise if you get a sight back up to the river. Cabin bathrooms could be cleaned more. Large bathroom in office building is immaculate. Water pressure super low at campsite so we used the showers, 25 cents for 8 minutes. Pricey for no cable service, like most campgrounds Wi-Fi not great. We used our AT&T mobile device and service spotty depending on the time of the day. Like being located out of town a mile and a half.

I have been camping at Cape Blanco State Park for years. This campground is located on the Southern Oregon coast outside of Port Orford, OR.

The campground does not take reservations and can have low availability during peak summer season. Cabins are available to reserve. The campground has free showers, flush toilets, sinks, firewood for sale, and beach access. The sites have full hookups, fire pits, tables, and very long paved drives. A bikers' camp, group camp, and horse camp are also available.

It is very windy here, but the plants surrounding the sites keep out most of the coastal wind and also provide plenty of privacy from other sites. Be prepared for cold weather and misty air. Dump station is under construction and not open for use right now.

I visited Cape Blanco twice this summer. Once in early June, and again in late July. Early June was definitely greener, lusher, more beautiful with wildflowers, but this place won't disappoint late in the summer either.

One of my favorite campgrounds of the summer (and that is saying a lot as I camped in about 25 different places). Cape Blanco is on top of a cliff and very wooded. It is small-ish with less than 20 sites for cars/rvs/tents, several ocean view yurts/cabins, a completely separate Hiker/Biker area off in the woods and an equestrian camp nearby. 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).

Hiker/Biker was really off on it's own and very private. There was an REI sponsored storage box station complete with USB charging ports, bike stand, tools, shared fire pit and picnic table. Each "site" which are just unnumbered clearings had its own bike rack near by, and despite being completely separate it was only a short walk to a flush toilet and bathroom. Though at night that walk was very, very dark as you had to walk through the trees. This is a very shaded campground.

The Coastal Trail runs through camp and you can follow it North for a half mile through the trees while listening to the ocean waves. You'll pop out into a meadow of wild flowers and tall grasses (early in the summer) overlooking the ocean and out towards the Cape Blanco lighthouse. There is a bench there. I strongly recommend picking up a cheap bottle of red wine, and spending the better part of an afternoon on this bench looking out at the rocks waiting for the occasional thought to float by.

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. As a hiker/biker you'll be traveling up a large hill to get up to the top. Don't let the elevation scare you off. It isn't as hard as you think with plenty of pull-offs and views to distract you.

Amenities include: 

• Storage boxes with USB Chargers
• Flush Toilets and Hot Showers
• Fire Pits and Picnic Tables
• Bike Tools, Bike Stand and racks
• Nature/Coastal Trail
• Yurt/Cabin camps

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.

Staying in one of the furnished cabins. Great RV and Airstream trailer sites as well. Full hookups. Marginal WiFi available. Use my phone most of the time because poor WiFi. Cabins are fairly new but mine had some needed repairs already

Stayed in a cabin and it was beautiful. The front porch provided a fabulous view to the Chetco River. 

If you fish and don't have a trailer or camper these cabins are perfect. Fire ring and table are provided as well. 

Well worth the price.

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!

Great cabins overlooking the river! This site is close enough to make day trips to the beach and Brookings for any forgotten supplies or for dinner if you do not feel like cooking. We will be returning!
