THIS FACILITY IS CLOSED TO RESERVATIONS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE Quail Prairie Lookout offers guests a unique lodging experience in the Rogue-Siskiyou National Forest in western Oregon. On a clear day, visitors are treated to spectacular views of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness from the top of the 41-foot tower. The tower was completed in 1963 and served as one of the last lookouts built by the southwestern Oregon Forest Service until the mid 1990's, when it was converted for recreational purposes. Today campers can enjoy a unique lodging experience in the historic structure, which offers basic amenities and spectacular views of the surrounding area. Although the facility provides basic amenities, guests must bring a few of their own supplies to ensure a safe and comfortable stay.
The nearby Upper Chetco Trail is the main east/west route through the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. It offers access to the Chetco River and two main tributaries. Heavy vegetation provides shade but eliminates most views, and at least three significant long and steep sections provide a challenging backpacking experience. Anglers will enjoy the remote location and scenic backdrop of the nearby Chetco River, providing angling opportunities for trout, steelhead, and salmon in season. The Chetco starts in steep, deeply dissected, sparsely vegetated, mountainous terrain within the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. At night the lookout is an ideal setting for stargazing, as constellations and planets put on a dazzling display.
The lookout affords panoramic views of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness and the Chetco River drainage. The Kalmiopsis Wilderness is an area of great geological and botanical interest. Many of the rocks were formerly parts of the oceanic crust, while diverse plant life provides evidence of adaptation to the area's harsh soils. The Kalmiopsis leachian, a shrub discovered in the Gold Basin area in 1930, is a relic of the pre-ice age. The Kalmiopsis Wilderness is named after this unique endemic plant. Diverse landscapes provide habitat for a wide-range of wildlife, from spotted owls and black-tail deer to salamanders and salmon. These species, along with many others, depend on surrounding undeveloped wilderness, undisturbed wetlands, clean streams, and diverse forests to live.
This site is located along the South Fork of the Coquille River. There is a group shelter for up to 25 people. Facilities 14 RV campsites with picnic tables, and fire pits Drinking water 3 vault toilets Garbage disposal (from Memorial Day to Labor Day only)

At least 3 spots near or right off the road. Good road. Very windy. Secluded.

Awesome 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.
Guide
Miller Bar is a river bar that allows DISPERSED camping for up to 14 days. It is about 20 minutes from the town of Brookings. If you take North Bank Chetco River Road all the way down past Loeb Park, it will turn into a gravel road, which is Forest Road 1376. Take the Forest Road down a ways, and you will see a river access sign for Miller Bar. The river access road is WINDING "SWITCHBACKS" WITH SOME STEEP HILLS, which is why only SMALL trailers are recommended. Since parking is directly on the river bed next to the water, camping during winter months with heavy rain is discouraged because of rising water levels and floods. There are vaulted toilets, and that's it, no running water. It is pretty much a "dead zone" for cell phone reception, although with some patience, I was able to find a few spots that I could get service (like 2 bars at the most). I got down there at night when it was dark and didn't see any signs that you had to pay $10 until the next morning when I was leaving. Since it is so secluded, no one even came out there except for locals that were fishing, and there were two other vehicles that were camping also. If you're looking for an "off the grid" peaceful spot to camp out where no one will bother you then this is a great place!

Our host was gracious, gave us our pick of spots. Beautiful place, well kept, clean bathrooms and showers. Little store nearby. Would be happy to stay again if ever in the area!
Traveler
This little RV park is a hidden Gem tucked along the Rogue River. The campground is kept up very nicely, with beautiful trees and lush greenery around. The host is a nice older man who was very accommodating. We got he Wifi code and was able to stream our Netflix which was nice because we were rained in. The park is also close to the town with many restaurants and trails close by.

Cruised in here just after dark without a reservation - was trying to book as we were driving and then lost reception and went in anyway. Park-like, well-maintained campground in upper loop, didn’t get to the lower loop but bookmarked it for the next time - walkable to the beach from those sites. Several sites available, and there was a WiFi connection at the check in board that made the required online reservation easy. Camp host came out to make sure everything was working okay, even though it was technically after hours for her - super nice. Our spot was a little tight for negotiating a 20 foot van, anything larger would be a challenge but we saw those there too. Great bath/shower setup with restrooms on one side, 4 separate showers on the other. Park staff was friendly and helpful. Only downside was proximity to 101 - truck traffic with air brakes went on intermittently until about 10pm and started up again before dawn. The campground sits pretty much under the highway by location - visually you wouldn’t know it, but the audio is a reminder. Not a big deal at all given all the other positives. Great spot.

We had never been to the ocean and had so much fun having our camper parked directly off the beach. It was so clean and beautiful. Planning on visiting again!

a little busy a lot of people but really quiet and peaceful !

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.
GuideSuper happy with this cozy little campground. Good size spots, very clean, nicely maintained, nearby hiking in the redwoods, and a river right next to the campground. Recommended!!!
Guide
This was the perfect spot to spend a night. The creek behind us was beautiful and the sounds just put you right to sleep. Many spots along the road. Easy with our jeep, but I wouldn't recommend for larger trailers
Ranger
Overall the campground itself was nice. The restrooms are super clean and nice. Some sites are fairly secluded. It was very hot when we were there and although it is next to the river, you are actually above the river so you have to drive/hike to it. There were a lot of campers from Oregon there and all of them were there to party. The camp host was useless and didn’t want to interact with anyone.
GuideWe 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!
GuideThis 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!

This campground must be the “first camp out” for so many Northern California kids, at least of my generation. It was the first time my family drove for HOURS (“are we there yet?” And then the result was spectacular. The river vibe, the rope swing, the ancient redwoods, the dappled sunlight, the bbq. And yes, there’s a store nearby in the middle of nowhere to pick up whatever you need.
It really is family-lovely. Your kids will make friends with the others. If you can plan an extended stay, do it!
Recently, I just drove around the grounds, on my way back to SF, just for fun, and I thought, wow, I’m ready to experience this place as a childless oldster. I want to bird my ass off. I want to go offseason. All of it!

Camping at Rambling Redwoods offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature, surrounded by the majestic Redwoods. The campground provides a variety of amenities, including a playground and horseshoe pits, as well as a dog wash area for your furry friends. Well-maintained bathrooms and showers featuring good water pressure—a welcome comfort in the great outdoors. The availability of a laundry room adds a touch of convenience to the rustic camping experience. We were in site 31 which was a very level dirt pull-thru and parked our truck between two huge trees. My only negative thought is that the back of the site only had a couple of logs separating sites 31 and 30. I may not have felt this an issue had the people at site 30 kept their dogs on a leash which would have prevented their three dogs from coming over and trying to attack my dog. Yes, the park has a leash rule. When planning a trip to the Redwood State and National Park, mapping out your destinations is crucial, as some attractions can be quite a distance from the campground.

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.
Guide
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.
Scout
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 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
ScoutNice quiet, remote Forest Road
GuideFull 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.

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.
TravelerSite was very easy access after driving down a long back road. Quiet, clean, and pretty. No phone service.

Nice area to camp or pull in your RV on 3 acres of private property next to KOA campground. Property has a geodesic dome that is available for rent. Porta potty and fire rings on premises. Potable water available walking distance at KOA Campground and established Campground has a small store and showers available. Highway is audible but not that bad and many Shady spots to camp in. Initially gave this four stars but after having deer walk 20 ft away from me and I heard of elk grazing 30 ft away , along with tons of different types of birds, The spot is a wildlife wonder!
Traveler
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.
Ranger
There was a few pullouts on the road and I wouldn’t exactly call it dispersed camping. I parked in what I think was a road for fishing access. Only positive was the river was right there
