Alfred A. Loeb State Park Campground
Cozy mountain near the coast
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!
Humbug Mountain State Park Campground
Mountains and beach in one experience
This was the best state park we have ever stayed at! It is in high demand, so you have to book out in advance if you'd like to stay multiple nights. We were able to get 2 nights, but had to move sites
We have a 37' travel trailer, and had no problem backing in, and the second night had a pull through site. The sites are spacious with a fire pit and picnic table, and room for a second vehicle. The second night we were closer to the beach entrance which was nice, but the highway traffic was a little loud.
The bathroom facilities were the cleanest I had been in at a state park, and each campground had park hosts who were very helpful and actually clean the sites up for turnaround.
Our favorite part was the private beach, with a creekside that is a little more tame for little children. Would love to come back!
Bastendorff Beach Park
Rundown facilities, no privacy
We stayed at Bastendorff Campground in August 2024 in tent site 15. Going in, I didn't know much about the campground besides it's close to Charleston and Coos Bay and it has showers. It turns out that all but one of the showers was out of order. The one shower that worked was weak but the temperature didn't fluctuate so it was ok. Overall I was disappointed I didn't make our reservation at Sunset Bay State Park.
Pros:
-Close to nice beaches like Bastendorff and Sunset Bay.
-I got cell reception at our campsite.
-The bathrooms and the one shower were kept clean.
-There is a playground and an open field with a view of the ocean.
-Not many insects in the park; no mosquitoes.
Cons:
-The bushes between the campsites are small and thin and there aren't many trees, so there's no privacy and not enough trees to hang a hammock.
-The loop with the tent sites is right next to Beach Bound RV Park where you may hear the serene sounds of a backhoe scraping up rocks, truck engines, or guys cutting logs with chainsaws.
-The men's bathrooms: the doors on the stalls don't lock and there are no (working) hand dryers or paper towels.
-Most of the showers were out of order.
-There are no gray water disposal drains like I've used at other campgrounds to wash dishes.
-There is a foghorn nearby that woke me up one foggy morning.
-There was trash in the bushes at our site as well as small bits of litter throughout the campground.
-The tent sites are just sandy dirt so when it rained everything got muddy.
-There is no trail from the park to Bastendorff Beach; the beach is a short drive down the road.
-The locals: while we were there in August someone nearby kept lighting off mortar fireworks around 10:00 -10:30 pm, and one night someone drove by honking their car horn.
Indian Creek RV Park
Nice folk, camp like sardines
Nice folk working and camping. Very full campground parked in like sardines. Mainly fishing guys. Some are guides and will take you out fishing the rogue river Clean park. Reasonable rate around $40÷/- for full hookup.
Bullards Beach State Park Campground
Great spot to stay
The sites themselves aren’t very private, but we knew what we were getting when we booked the campground. It was an excellent spot to explore the Bandon area, with beautiful beaches a short drive away. We enjoyed the clean showers and restrooms.
Harris Beach State Park Campground
Great spot to explore the seaside
We loved having a playground right around the bend that the kids could enjoy, and the hot water showers were clean and tidy. The sites themselves offered little privacy, but we knew what we were signing up for when we booked this campground. We wanted a base to explore the Redwoods NP and the beaches nearby, and Harris Beach State Park worked nicely!
Bastendorff Beach Park
Close proximity to beach with ocean view
Staff super nice and accommodating. Lots of trees. Most sites have a private feel. Close to beach. Very nice day use area with awesome view of ocean. Clean. Near Charleston and a nice fish market and other amenities.
Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground
Hit and Miss
When I booked this, I was under the impression we'd be able to see the Ocean from the park. Don't get your hopes up. Only certain spots actually get that perk, and "premium" sites like the one I reserved are not among those that get a view. In fact, we were more than a little confused that the "premium" site we paid good money for landed us right next to the dumpsters and sewer station. Our "lawn" area between us and the nearest neighbor was a narrow patch of powdery dirt and dying weeds. From where we were, it looked like all the camper spaces on the Southeast end of the park were in the same situation. Zero shade, zero green grass, and campers wedged as closely together as the law allows.
The activity room in the lodge building was a plus. The kids had a blast playing ping-pong, arcade games, and foosball. We arrived at about ten minutes til 4pm, and the gal working the counter took every effort to communicate that to us as clearly as possible that we needed to leave by 4. If you want to have fun up there get an early start.
The showers/bathroom were nice, albeit in desperate need of ventilation.
This area of the OR coast is beautiful and there are plenty of things to see and do. It's not so touristy as the northern OR coast, and not as populated as the central OR coast. The beach is probably a 10 minute walk from most sites, which is okay unless you want to take chairs, picnic basket, etc, then you'll be driving to Ophir beach, which seemed to have its share of recreational smokers and the kind of "pilgrims" you tend to see along the 101.
My main problem with Honeybear was the price. We paid a premium price for a spot that ended up looking nothing like the photos I was looking at. 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 so I'd highly suggest you do your research before reserving a space. Avoid spaces 74 and up, unless you're fine camping in a parking lot.
Full disclosure: I did book this spot 1 month before our arrival date, so there wasn't much left at that point… that's on me. Even so, the term "premium" just feels like false advertising to me. Premium price, yes. Premium location, no.
Elk River "Stony Beach" Dispersed Camping
Dispersed camping!
Elk dispersed camping starts 8 miles up elk river rd. Everything past the fish hatchery is fair game. We found a great pull off that led under a bridge. Beautiful spot and no bothersome traffic
Forrest Road 280 near Humbug
Mountainous dirt Trail with view out over the ocean
Nice quiet, remote Forest Road
Elk River "Stony Beach" Dispersed Camping
Not great for starlink
Full time van lifers who work remote. Very dense in a valley spot, starlink would not work great for a work day. So many bugs when we arrived at night.
Wouldn’t dare try going down the steep rough dirt road knowing internet wouldn’t be great.
Sunset Bay State Park Campground
Review is for Sunset Bay Meadows next to the state park and next to the golf Course
Challenging one lane Gravel Road to get to beautiful Meadow after challenging entrance to golf course with few instructions on how to reach camping area. However, once there it's a beautiful and quiet and well maintained area with numerous sites including a yurt and lots of privacy , Wildlife and Greenery
Lobster Creek Campground
Lobster Creek Campground
Site #7 has a fire ring (restrictions may apply) picnic table and excellent view of the Rogue River.
Restrooms have flush toilets and a code lock.
Elk River "Stony Beach" Dispersed Camping
Camping
Site was very easy access after driving down a long back road. Quiet, clean, and pretty. No phone service.
Sturdivant Park
Peaceful
There's a box for registration and payment on the road in. Lots of trees to park under/near. Some picnic tables & some fire pits. The river runs beside the park. Occasionally a train runs nearby but otherwise very quiet. Grocery store with water refill station, bottle/can redemption close by. There's also a Laundromat just up the road with good machines.
Turtle Rock RV Resort
Loved our stay!
My husband and do not typically like to camp at RV parks, however during a busy 4th of July weekend we found openings here and ended up loving our stay! The beach and creek access was so convenient. Was not a fan of the onsite Mexican restaurant, but didn’t have very high expectations anyways. The office staff were very friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back!
Make sure you visit Secret Beach during your stay, just a short drive down the road.
Harris Beach State Park Campground
The real deal
This campground is the real deal when it comes to fun and family camping experiences. The CG staff is courteous and knowledgeable. There is onsite trash and recycling, water flush toikrts, sinks, and an awesome playground. Paths to the beach as well. The campground fills up quickly with online reservations. Close to nearby scenic stops, like Thunder Rock Cove, Secret Beach, and so on.
Bastendorff Beach Park
Amazing staff, views, & beach access!!!
The best experience for relaxing and recentering!!! Beach at your fingertips! Recommend a little work on shower area but still very doable! I will be back!
Harris Beach State Park Campground
Loved it!
I really enjoyed camping here. Most sites aren’t very private but you’re close to the beach! There were bear and cougar sightings while we stayed, but had no issues. I was surprised they didn’t have any bear boxes, but we left all food and scented items in the car instead.
Bastendorff Beach Park
Beach Bound RV Park and Campground
Easy reservation system, had to call a couple times for questions, and staff extremely helpful and friendly. Received an email about 2 weeks before our departure to the RV site that said they had to move our site due to a long term rental that came in. Little dissapointed as we wanted a spot w/more space between sites. But we were just passing thru staying only 1 night, so not a deal breaker.
Harris Beach State Park Campground
Great large CG but costly
The rv sites are well spaced and ha e hedge between for a bit of privacy, so.e of thw tent sites are closer together and closer to the interstate. Some good hiking paths. Clean warm showers, a dump station, and the beach! MANY sites, some better than others. The out of state booking fee and$8 online convenience fee to book o line was annoying and made the ine day stay $50, but since we just left CA, that seemed in family.
Bastendorff Beach Park
Beautiful new park.
New park with beautiful landscape and ample space in sites. Would have given a 5 star rating if they did not have a $25 dump fee on top of rate. Did not use.
Skull Creek Campground
Secluded and minimalist
Easily accessed by 2 x 4 SUV, although there were a few large potholes, easy to maneuver around.
Appeared to be 4 sites, each with a nice picnic table and fire pit. There was an onsite pit toilet and bear proof trash can. No running water and very little shade from the sun..but it is a free off the grid campground.
I’m unsure if this qualifies as dispersed camping or more of a free campground provided by the BLM.
Bullards Beach State Park Campground
Fantastic park
Large, private campsites. Friendly ranger staff, and fantastic beach a short drive or walk away.
Harris Beach State Park Campground
Beautiful views and noisy highway
A beautifu wooded campground high up on a bluff overlooking a stunning beach. Campsites were well spaced with lots of privacy. Extremely loud highway noise with frequent truck downshifting and braking for an adjacent speed zone. For us this noise greatly diminished the otherwise very nice campground.
Boxcar Hill Campground
terrible camp hosts
it was supposed to be a vacation but could have been better after driving 9 hours to be received by the rudest camp hosts and then harrassed daily with mass texts of threats of being charged for extra car parking, too many cars parked, no parking by the bathroom, be sure to put the garbage in the right bin, check out time, don't share your gate code, gate code expiring so be out on time and it went on and on. They will not work with you to move your site close to your group or try to keep you together, they just don't care, it is worse than self checkout at grocery store, they want to do no work and will just monitor their prescious gate to ensure that everyone uses it and it closes in between trailers, will never return and you shoudl find somewhere else to spend your time.
Harris Beach State Park Campground
Beautiful Beach!
We stayed there for a night on our summer road trip and it was beautiful. The sunset on the beach was amazing and the kids had a great time playing in the water. Hot showers as well but note that they close at 10 PM. Our only take away was that the site was slanted and uneven and that made it hard to find a place to set up tents easily.
