Elko Camp Recreation Site

Nine and a half miles east of the Oregon coast, Elko Camp Recreation Site sits within the US Forest Service boundaries of Siskiyou National Forest. This established campground provides basic camping with campfires and pets allowed, though one reviewer notes the sites turn muddy during Oregon's rainy season.

The facility consists of flat camping spots without developed amenities beyond fire rings. A reviewer from 2018 described the area as remote with limited nearby attractions, though suggested it could serve hunters accessing the surrounding forest. For campers planning coastal trips, campgrounds around Gold Beach provide additional options closer to the Pacific. The forest setting offers access to national forest lands for those comfortable with primitive conditions.

It’s basically just a flat spot that turns into a mud pit during the rainy months. There’s nothing close by but Might make a good Camp to bear hunt.
