Humbug Campground

This is an older campground outside Detroit Lake. This is NOT Humbug Mountain in SW Oregon.

Some sites are really small, some are ridiculously oversized, or have no barrier between them.

There are no showers here. It's as basic as they come with running water and vault toilets. 

Many FCFS sites, including three or four without barriers that lead to a party crowd (across from Site 11)

There are many blind corners, so please watch for kids. Mine was almost hit by an inconsiderate camper driving way too fast.

If you have a camper longer than 11 or 12 feet expanded, dont bother with Site 11. It's a 30-foot 30ish-degree incline to a 14-foot somewhat level pad at the top. My Flagstaff HW27KS did not fit completely even before unfolding.

Right of the highway. Trucks start rolling by around 5am. They do have free showers and flushing toilets!

Humbug is one of our favorite campgrounds. We love the easy access to the beach and the beautiful hikes.  Showers are hot and free, rangers are always friendly.

Cell service is pretty iffy here, but we manage to make it work with the cell booster.

There's a dump station and water fill, trash and recycling, water spigots throughout campground, and firewood for sale.

Tent sites in Oregon don't currently have the 25% non-resident surcharge (though I've heard that's changing soon) and there are plenty of non-hookup/tent sites that will fit RVs. There are also FHU and pull through sites.

Camp sites were nice sized and well taken care of. Showers were nice. The walk to the beach was beautiful also. The camp host, Norm was very helpful since we didn’t have cell service and had trouble getting our reservation completed.

This is a great campground. The Hosts were super friendly. Clean w/ hot showers.

I’ve always wanted to stay here, but typically would roll pass. Not this time!! Fate gave me the last tenting spot ($18) Beautiful area!! Did the Humbug Mountain trail. A bun-buster but the view is spectacular. Morning coffee walked to the beach. Spectacular!! Only negatives are Hwy 101 is right next to you, so Jake-brakes at all hours is common, and it’s a bit more ‘developed’ than I like.

Best place I’ve stayed in a long time. Very clean, bathrooms and showers we so well kept. Trails and beach were amazing. Stayed 2 days and stayed busy for sure. The staff is friendly and always willing to answer any questions. I will be visiting again. I loved it.

Beautiful campground with great hiking and beach access. Really clean and well kept.

Humbug Campground is in the Willamette National Forest and on the beautiful Breinbush river. It's small and great for fishing. There are easy, but not ADA accessible, trails with tons of rhododendron flowers and orange rough-skinned newts along the way.

The vaulted toilets were REALLY smelly, and there was dog poop in our spot upon arrival. Otherwise, a nice enough spot.

UPDATE:  likely impacted by 2020 fire season.

We were looking for a last-minute spot and Humbug still had sites! We got a great private shady site on a forested loop. I think this is a great alternative to Detroit Lake as it's just a few miles away but much more private and quiet if you don't want to hear the motor boats all evening. There was a stream, but we could hear it rather than see it. i don't think any sites have spectacular views, but it was a nice forest-escape nonetheless, with lots of vegetation between us and the neighbors.

This is an excellent little campground just a few miles up FS RD 46 from Detroit.

It can get busy during Summer weekends but mid week you can usually find a nice spot.

The sites are very spacious but at the same time many are very private.

I usually try to get one down by the river. The sound of the rushing water is very calming.

Has water, and vault toilets that are usually kept quite clean.

Highly recommened for families and the solo camper.

Has pit toilets, water and trash, no hookups. If at sites by the water you can hear it and is a great way to listen and fall asleep. A short hike down to the water to cool off and the trail is a great walk. Sites are for the most part very good sized and many you have privacy as well as some pull through. Please note that there is a trail between 9 and 10 as well as 10 having a area hikers might pop Into site from and site 13 edge has a trail down to water so if you don't like people walking up then don't camp in those spots. We didn't mind. Very clean toilets and grounds. Perfect place to just unwind for a couple days

We love this campground because of the beautiful trail up Humbug Mt. and to the amazing beaches, river walks big and little camping sites. Clean bathrooms

Loved having access to the Humbug Flats trail.  Our site, number 13, had great access to a picturesque swimming hole on the Brightenbush.  Lots of really unique and private sites.

Stayed on opening night of this season and it was absolutely lovely. Ranger was friendly and helpful, and provided us directions for walking down to the water for a gorgeous morning view. The campground was quiet and tranquil during our stay, and our site was situated in mossy trees with lovely views of sun rays poking through the trees in the morning. I can’t wait to go back to Humbug!

What a beautiful campground! There are around 20 sites, all of which are quite private and cozy. Many of the tent spaces are nestled away behind trees so you really feel like each site is your own special place. There are at least two group sites, sites with pull-throughs for trailers, tent sites, vault toilets, and many water faucets close by. Camp hosts are so great! Firewood was $6/bundle. There is a trailhead near one of the group sites that we traveled about a mile down before turning back to camp for lunch. It’s a deep, green, and very lush forest. Will definitely return to hike further.

Nice campground with private sites by the river. Water is available and access to pit toilets.

No WIFI, clean showers, clean campground. Hiking trails.

This campsite is about five miles off of 22 and five miles from a few local stores and Detroit lake.

The site is tucked away and quiet. A few of the walk-in spots are right next to a crystal clear blue river.

There is onsite managers and facilities are pretty well kept.

The scenery is beautiful, clear water and the Willamette forest is wonderful if you like adventuring.

Lovely green area, lots to do in nature here (we met some people scuba diving). It’s a pretty small campground but it’s not usually full, there are two separate areas. The smaller one has some tent sites right along the water which were amazingly beautiful. There are hot showers, which were welcome after playing in the surf. The Humbug Mountain is a steep hike! This is pretty far from towns (but a wee bit close to the road) and is nicely in the national forests. Nice simple well taken care of place to stay.

very nice well kept campground.. hosts keep the bathrooms clean and the spots are large and relatively private. It's a short walk down to the river that has awesome blue pools and loads of trout.

The hosts are very responsive and will usually cart deliver firewood for about 5-6 bucks a bundle.

Over all an awesome campground

Humbug campground is one of my favorite in the area. Breitenbush creek flows next to it so you can hear the churning water all night. That area receives a ton of winter rain and the vegetation is so lush it feels like a rain forest. If you want to camp in this area and avoid all the commotion of camping right on Detroit lake, this is the best place to do it. It fills up really fast on the weekends though, so reserve early or go on a weekday.
