Alfred A. Loeb State Park Campground sits on the north bank of the Chetco River, eight miles east of Brookings via a paved, winding road through second-growth forest. Managed by Oregon Parks and Recreation, the campground runs year-round and draws a steady mix of RV travelers and tent campers, though the balance tilts noticeably toward rigs, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer available at all sites. The Chetco River is the campground's defining feature, and reviewers consistently describe it as the main reason to visit, with several noting they spent hours swimming in its clear water.
The sites are generally spacious, shaded by large trees, and surrounded in places by blackberry bushes. They sit fairly close together, and the campground is near enough to the road that traffic noise carries, particularly at night when logging trucks and other vehicles pass. Some sites are prone to flooding or poor drainage, and reviewers specifically flag sites 22, 34, and 36 as flood-prone, and sites 52, 12, and 13 as uncomfortably packed. Sites 8 through 11 and 47 draw consistent praise for spacing and position. The cabins, which face the river directly, are reservable through ReserveAmerica and tend to work best for anglers or visitors without a trailer.
Showers are free and hot. As Laura M. puts it, "showers are nice and hot and free, and bathrooms are clean." A short trail from the day-use area connects to a Redwood Natural Trailhead loop, roughly four miles round-trip, with a trailhead parking area available for those who prefer to drive up. Nook Bar Campground and Siskiyou NF Dispersed near Mount Emily Road provide alternatives for campers who want more seclusion along the river corridor.
Summer weekends fill fast, and the campground can get loud after dark. Winter months draw far fewer visitors and cooler temperatures, with the trade-off being frequent rain. Reservations are available and recommended for peak season. Campers with larger rigs should note the site access can be tight despite the 50-foot maximum length, and at least one reviewer with a 37-foot trailer needed a neighbor's help to back in. Cell coverage is reported as workable for AT&T and Verizon users.
The Chetco River alone draws many campers back repeatedly. If you can time a visit for a shoulder season weekday, the combination of river access, free showers, and proximity to the coast makes for a worthwhile stop on the southern Oregon coast.
