Wedderburn camping options sit along Oregon's southern coast where the Rogue River meets the Pacific Ocean. The area experiences mild coastal temperatures with summer highs averaging 65-75°F and winter lows rarely dropping below 40°F. Seasonal fog is common during summer mornings, typically burning off by early afternoon, with September and October offering the clearest weather.
What to do
Fishing on the Rogue River: Access fishing spots at Secret Camp RV Park where the campground positions you near prime salmon fishing locations. "Secret Camp is a small, quiet campground in a forest, close to the River," notes a reviewer who found it ideal for exploring Curry County.
Beach combing: Walk miles of shoreline at Gold Beach, just minutes from Wedderburn. "Location location. Get a beach front site. You fall asleep to the sound of the waves. It's magical. Beach is great," writes a camper about their oceanfront experience.
Jet boat tours: Book a river excursion from Kimball Creek Bend RV Resort for a guided adventure on the Rogue. "There is a big River where you can get a speed boat tour due 4 hours takes to you to a drop off for lunch then picks you up and back," explains a camper who enjoyed the day trip.
Wildlife watching: Spot wild turkeys and coastal birds at local campgrounds. One visitor at Indian Creek RV Park mentioned, "Love the 5 wild turkeys that greeted me as I opened the door in the morning."
What campers like
River and ocean proximity: Campers enjoy the dual access to both the Rogue River and Pacific Ocean. "A great site right on the Southern Bank of the Chetco River. There are a few trails around the campground, and a wonderful walk along the river. There are beaches very close by," explains a visitor at AtRivers Edge RV Resort.
Walkable beaches: Many campgrounds offer direct beach access. "The beach and creek access was so convenient," writes one camper at Turtle Rock RV Resort who loved the immediate shoreline access.
Quiet settings: The more secluded campgrounds provide peaceful environments away from highway noise. "We have stayed a week at this Park... The spot is beautiful and well kept. Lots of recreational activities on the river and near the ocean," notes a camper about the tranquil atmosphere.
Fishing opportunities: The Rogue River attracts anglers year-round. "Mainly fishing guys. Some are guides and will take you out fishing the rogue river," mentions a camper at Indian Creek RV Park.
What you should know
Site arrangements vary: Some parks have unusual layouts that might surprise first-time visitors. At Indian Creek RV Park, "The sites are weirdly situated, with a row of small spaces all along the fence ($25/night), and several circles throughout the center where multiple RVs share the same gazebo & sink ($33/night)."
Winter weather challenges: Coastal storms can affect accessibility during winter months. "It's the coast in summer. Sometimes it's sunny. Sometimes, it's not," notes a realistic camper about the variable coastal conditions.
WiFi limitations: Internet connectivity is inconsistent throughout the area. "Only AT&T cellphones have signal there and WIFI only works close to office," advises a camper at Cougar Lane Lodge & RV.
Reservation timing: Waterfront sites book quickly during peak season (June-September). One visitor at Oceanside RV Park shared, "Very short walk to beach or jetty. Borders small airport where you can watch planes land or take off, but we only saw one over 2 days."
Tips for camping with families
Game areas: Look for campgrounds with recreational spaces. "[AtRivers Edge] has an awesome game area with volleyball nets, Bocce Ball and corn hole," notes a family that enjoyed the activities.
Tent camping options: Some parks offer tent-specific areas, but conditions vary significantly. At Oceanside RV Park, "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."
Alternative accommodations: Several campgrounds offer cabins, yurts, and glamping options. "From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees," mentions a visitor noting the pet restrictions.
Indoor facilities: Look for parks with gathering spaces for rainy days. At Indian Creek RV Park, one camper found "lots of amenities here: laundry, clean showers, book exchange, pool tables, small market, nearby hikes along the river, cafe on site, games and game room."
Tips from RVers
RV site placement: Request specific sites based on your privacy preferences. At Beachfront RV Park, one RVer recommends: "Would recommend not taking the last spot (#153) because it's right along the parking lot where fishers park for the day, there's lots of activity."
Utility connections: Sewer placement can vary considerably between sites. "When in the site, a tree was rubbing into the RV. A very nice and alert worker came and trimmed the trees to fix the problem. The sewer connections are in some strange places, mostly in front of the RV by quite aways," notes a visitor at Turtle Rock RV Resort.
Extended stays: Several parks offer monthly rates during off-season. "I stayed here over the winter. They have a monthly rate in the winter months," shares an RVer who found extended stay options convenient.
Wind exposure: Coastal sites may experience significant wind. A camper cautions, "This campground has a number of spacious sites. Make sure you ask for one in the back. The only reason this got four stars instead of five is the incredible wind that comes off the ocean almost every day. Not unusual to have it 20 miles per hour gusting to 35 or 40."
