Redwood Bar Dispersed Camping
Redwood Bar Dispersed Camping, near the southern Oregon coast, is a laid-back spot perfect for those who enjoy a more rustic experience. This area offers camping right on a gravel bar next to a beautiful river, where you can set up your site wherever you like and enjoy the natural surroundings.
Visitors often rave about the refreshing river, which is great for swimming and floating. You’ll find fire rings scattered around, making it easy to gather around a fire after a day of adventure. Just keep in mind that there are no hookups or drinking water available, so come prepared.
The scenery here is stunning, with towering trees and a peaceful atmosphere that many campers appreciate. Some have noted that it can get a bit crowded on weekends, but if you visit during the week, you might just have the place to yourself. As one camper put it, “It’s wonderful and quiet and perfect here!”
For those looking to explore, the area is ideal for kayaking and hiking, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Just remember, this isn’t a place for those who need a lot of amenities—it's all about embracing the simplicity of nature.
