Alfred A. Loeb State Park Campground

North side of Chetco River. 8 miles east of Brookings. First come First Serve. BE there early, people try to save spots for friends but you better be paying for the spot. We stayed for one night, by the next morning as we were loading up, kids were riding their bikes saw we were going to leave and one stayed by while the other went to get parents, who checked with us and went to pay for the spot we were vacating. $24 a night with water and elec. $7 for extra vehicles. Do have three cabins that are reservable through ReserveAmerica. You are close to a Redwood Natural Trailhead loop. From campground to trailhead is .8 miles, then a 1.2 mile loop. Round trip 4miles, can drive up to park at trailhead. This was the only Oregon State Park that would not allow fires at the time we visited.

Along the river and redwoods

Have stayed at Loeb many times over the past 37 years -- tent camping, cabin camping, and now tent-trailering -- and it has been fun every time.

The showers are great. Short walk to the super-clean Chetco River for swimming and salamander-camping. Twenty minute drive to the ocean beaches. Good hosts. Fun watching kids ride their bikes around and around. Grassy park-lawn section for croquet or bocce ball.

My favorite campground

Great cabins overlooking the river! This site is close enough to make day trips to the beach and Brookings for any forgotten supplies or for dinner if you do not feel like cooking. We will be returning!

Southern Oregon Paradise

We have been here for eight day and wish we could stay longer. The campground is a beautiful place to stop and relax. Is is located next to a river where you can swim. Lots of places to walk and hike. Lots of fun. For us it is one of the best state parks on the Oregon coast.

Peaceful

Clean park with some hidden beachfront spots! They have a sand volleyball court and tons of blackberries everywhere. I did not use the bathrooms, since I have an RV. They have an outdoor foot shower area I did use, it was super convenient coming from the river 😉  We would definitely return here again. Oh, and they sell woof after 5pm, $5 a bundle. Also, sell helmets for the kiddos!
