Powers, Oregon provides access to several camping areas within the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, with options ranging from developed campgrounds to more primitive sites. Powers County Park offers year-round camping with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins just minutes from town. Nearby campgrounds like Boundary Campground and China Flat provide more rustic experiences for tent campers seeking forest settings. The region includes both riverside camping along the Rogue River watershed and higher elevation forest sites with varying levels of amenities and accessibility.

Road conditions vary significantly throughout the area, particularly on forest service roads leading to more remote camping areas. Many campgrounds near Powers remain open year-round, though seasonal considerations affect water availability and facility maintenance during winter months. Powers County Park maintains drinking water, electric hookups, and shower facilities throughout the year, while more primitive sites like Boundary Campground offer vault toilets but no drinking water. Cell service becomes increasingly limited in the forested areas surrounding Powers. "This is a beautiful campground with lighted wooded paths to the restrooms with free showers," noted one visitor about a nearby state park.

Campers report high satisfaction with sites offering river access, particularly along the Rogue River corridor where several campgrounds provide opportunities for fishing and water recreation. The forested settings create natural privacy between many campsites, especially at locations like China Flat and Boundary Campground. According to one camper, "This is a very small campground surrounded by lush trees and a flowing creek... located right near the coast of Oregon, making it easy to wander during the day before returning to camp." While some developed campgrounds offer amenities like showers and electric hookups, others maintain a more primitive experience with basic facilities. Visitors particularly appreciate the combination of forest cover and water access found at several campgrounds in the region.

    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!

    Sun Outdoors Coos Bay

    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.

    Bullards Beach State Park Campground

    Overall a Very Nice Experience

    Plenty of walking around the park as well as the beach, which is only a 1/2 mile walk.
    A little cool at times with no sun during the day.

    South Fork Chetco

    Secluded river spot

    This is one of my favorite spots so far! It’s a little farther up than we anticipated going BUT so worth it...maybe a mile or so past the Redwood river access. You’ll pass through a cute little neighborhood and it’s right before the bridge on your left hand side. The spot that we were staying at before just got way too busy and that’s not the kind of camping that we prefer to do. We were able to get our rig and our Casita down fairly easy. We’re right on the river with very beautiful views and the whole area to ourselves!! We’re visiting early September so no fires are allowed at this time and the yellow jackets are still definitely out, so try and make sure you have a trap for them…they can get aggressive! Would most definitely come back to this spot!!

    Cape Blanco State Park Campground

    Private, wooded, lots of berries, gorgeous.

    I absolutely loved my stay here. My site had everything I needed for great solo car camping; sink dump nearby, water, plenty of privacy but not so much I felt isolated. I could sort of hear but not see my neighbors, and my site had a pretty special hidden feature behind the campfire - the perfect unexpected spot for my hammock. I was pretty close to the bathrooms which were quite clean. breakfast included huckleberries collected around my site. I got in late and left early so didn't have time to fully explore the nearby area but I could hear the ocean all night which was lovely.

    Eel Creek Campground

    Quiet beautiful night

    Showed up on a weekday and had a pick of spots, which I then reserved online with spotty but manageable service. I liked how many spots had a fire ring/picnic table then a more secluded spot for a tent. The nearby trail was a somewhat challenging but very wonderful trip to the ocean from the campgrounds.

    Forrest Road 280 near Humbug

    Great views, and secluded

    Narrow road but I made it up in my 02 Sierra with a 13ft travel trailer. Amazing views and no one around for miles

    Elk River "Stony Beach" Dispersed Camping

    Beautiful camping & swimming on the Elk River

    Camped one night, so peaceful. Quiet and dark. Took several divine swims. The water is crystal clear and cool, comfortable to stay in for minutes. Had a wild and beautiful romp up the State creek canyon across the bar. Just one other camper was there overnight. Plenty of room for both of us. Couldn’t even see them most of the time. 3 other parties came and went during the day, all focused on swimming and low key family time in nature. The only negative is a pile of the grossest trash, human waste in plastic bags, and some other random defunct camping items. I collected them and piled them up at the side of the road. People clearly struggle with how to manage the absence of toilet. I dug a little hole in the thimbleberries across the road and used their wide and soft leaves to clean myself up. No biggie.

    Bullards Beach State Park Campground

    Great spot, clean bathrooms and showers

    We showed up the day of and ended up getting the last spot. It was a super cool spot with a little path into a woodsy area. There’s a trail that leads to the beach. The bathrooms were super clean, and the showers were as well. Would defiantly stay here again.
