"Wile road tripping to oregon from Los Angeles, we stopped here for the night. Relatively affordable, very clean, and not busy (at least while we were there)."
"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."
"Wound ourselves all around and came upon his spot. Oh yeah."
"The dirt path from the main road down to the beach is very short but a bit steep and with some big dips when I was there so very low-clearance vehicles might have an issue getting in and out."
"It’s nice a secluded behind trees to shield you from the other campers.
We went on a Friday night and there were three other groups but plenty of space for a another couple of people."
"The drive there is a narrow, winding road along the Elk River, lush green ferns and trees, and over a dozen small waterfalls."
"It’s a ways up the river but close to the road. It seemed very secluded even tho it was close to a road. Plenty of spots with picnic tables and a beautiful view of the river."
"No hookups or water. Gets crowded in season and weekends but lots of space. Town of Brooking 15 min away. 4x4 is probably a must have as the river bank is just rocks."
"Drive down the windy steep road to the riverbank and set up camp wherever you’d like."
"We were able to drive to the base of the tower. As pointed out you must pack up your gear, food and water."
$6 / night
"This is a very small campground surrounded by lush trees and a flowing creek. Rock Creek is located right near the coast of Oregon, making it easy to wander during the day before returning to camp."
"Located directly on rock creek, the sound of the river lulled me to sleep. It was very quiet, and very far out of the way. There is a lovely trailhead very close to the campground."
RangerEasy road to get to this stretch of river, and lots of campgrounds along. As described, 4 drive-ins & 2 walk-ins. Stays in closer walk-in #5. Later learned some girls had used a drive-in spot just for parking 😡. One vault toilet in fair condition, trash. No potable water. Beautiful stretch of river with swimming hole & great rocks to jump from. Beautiful sand beach. Definitely NOT big-rig friendly. Posted ‘no alcohol’, but don’t know why.
GuideI visited here for one night in October and it was very quiet. Only 10 other campsites being used. The campground is quite large, however a few loops were closed for post season construction. Beautiful sites and awesome to set up my tent right next to giant Redwoods!
The campground runs along the Smith river, which is beautiful in its own right!
All sites standard with bear box, fire ring and picnic table. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Quarter operated showers. $8/bundle of wood. $35/night. Cash or check only!!
Dont miss the Boy Scout Trail just a few minutes down the road and the Stout Memorial Grove across the river.
GuideAwesome little campground in the thick of the forest that backs up to the Elk River. The drive there is a narrow, winding road along the Elk River, lush green ferns and trees, and over a dozen small waterfalls. The small campground is free to campers and managed by the United States Forest Service. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are vault toilets. The campsites are accessible by vehicle, making it perfect for truck camping or tent camping. There is no cell phone reception or nearby services.
TravelerWile road tripping to oregon from Los Angeles, we stopped here for the night. Relatively affordable, very clean, and not busy (at least while we were there). You can walk down to the river to fish, where there were also RVs camping on the beach. Tent camping is limited to very few sites but it looked like there was plenty of rv space. We set up for the night at the tent sites where we had a nice dinner with a beautiful night sky above us. The river is a good fishing spot, according to some local fisherman we met in the morning following our stay. There were bathrooms but they were locked. We had good service though. The site we chose wasn't particularly hidden or private, so anyone driving in or out of the road to the river, whether that's someone launching a boat or a ranger checking fishing licenses, they will have a full view of your entire site, something to consider if you require privacy.
LegendThis is a great spot for larger families. We stayed in the group site as well as an individual site (different time).
The group site was great! We were far enough away from other campers that our large family did not disturb, but still close enough to the front station for any help needed from rangers.
There are tons of acitivites in the campground; trails, floating down the river, night time story hour and bon fire, as well as outside of the campground: Redwood Edventures for kids, Trees of Mystery, or a short drive out to the coast.
There are plenty of restrooms and showers. Firewood is available to purchase. There are animal proof trash cans and food storage container.
Great for tent campers, RV/ trailers and cabins are available for rent.
ScoutSmall campsite, sites are close together and there’s no privacy. It is next to the river but there’s access to anyone staying at the campsite or not. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained, person in charge is friendly and is always around. First come first serve, firewood bundles are $10.00 each for pinewood. No showers, no hookups. It’s a good last minute option, sites are right next to the road so you get a bunch of car noise driving by.
RangerThis is one of the prettiest State Park campgrounds along Oregons Southern Coast! Just off Hwy 101 and less than a mile north of Brookings, OR.
This campground has many Full hookup sites with plenty of tent sites too. All RV sites are paved with gravel around the picnic table and fire ring. Each loop has its own restrooms and showers which were well kept and very clean. A large playground is located in A loop and is a short walk really from any loop. There is an amphitheater with bench seating that ranger talks are hosted pretty much nightly. We attended one and had a great time watching a moving and learning about the local whales that frequent the coastline there. They offer Junior Ranger activities in a yurt directly across from the amphitheater. Unlike most of the Oregon State Parks we have visited it is only open for an hour 10-11 everyday, but still worth checking out with the kiddos. They do have firewood available to purchase in the campground as well for $5/bundle.
Camping here you are very close to the OR- CA border which makes trips to the Redwood National Park and Crescent City extremely easy. Trails through the Redwoods in Jedediah State Park and Ocean were great for the kiddos when we were not spending time on the beach at the campground.
We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be making a return trip!
LegendLove this campground! Nice quite spot right off the highway, just outside of the redwoods. Nice day use area as well with picnic tables and Creek access. Showers!! Nice restrooms. Space between campsites for privacy, fire rings and table at each site. Dogs allowed.
GuideHave driven by this park without stopping... We finally stayed two nights and I'm glad we did. There is electric and water for hookups with a dump station.
The park is next to the highway so you do get highway noise. There is a trial that leads down under the highway to the beach.
The sites have reasonable distance between them with picnic tables and fire rings. Nice restrooms and showers.
One of the reasons we stayed here was to hike Humbug Mountain, one of the highest on the coastline.
It is a fairly easy hike, about three miles with an elevation gain of 1748 ft. Good trail and dogs are welcome, mine pulled me up the mountain and then down...
Nice campground, we will be back.
