While many are in wilderness areas, a number of trails are low-elevation, easy-access trails for year-round hiking.

Humbug Campground sites have picnic tables, grills and easy access to the vault toilets. Drinking water spigots are spread throughout the campground. Most campsites offer sweeping views of the river.
Natural Features
The campground lies in the Willamette National Forest, which stretches for 110 miles along the western slopes of the Cascade Range. The varied landscape of high mountains, narrow canyons, cascading streams and wooded slopes offer varied recreational opportunities for visitors. The Breitenbush River is a tributary of the North Santiam River, and its clean waters flow from short forks of snowmelt in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness. A variety of plants and foliage separate the spacious campsites and provide privacy from other sites.

Great state park
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.
Beautiful spot on Coast
This is a great campground. The Hosts were super friendly. Clean w/ hot showers.

Well developed, beautiful, but noisy
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.
