Although some sites were available, campers without reservations had to change sites in order to stay more than one night. And on a Saturday in June, the campground was completely full, even though the weather was less than ideal. In addition to campsites, there are a couple of small cabins here that can be rented. The sites are spacious and private. We walked from our site down to the beach, but it is a bit of a hike; so the next time we drove down the narrow road to the parking area. Cars are allowed to drive onto the sand, but the road down is rough, so you best be driving a high-clearance vehicle if you want to drive on the beach. With so many campgrounds situated near highways, or train tracks, the quiet at this campground was so welcome. While you are here, make sure to visit the Camp Blanco lighthouse and the Historic Hughes House.

Trails were (mostly) narrow and well-maintained with scattered benches and lots of happy song birds. The cove area looked especially pretty from above, but unfortunately that trail is currently closed. The park is also home to the Lifeboat Station Museum, much looked interesting but was closed for the season when we were there. Still yet, there was educational info around it and on the trails to learn a bit along the way. We really enjoyed our stop here. The trails and views were great. I'm sure it's the time of year, but we only encountered a couple of people along the way. Very peaceful.

This is probably one of the best places to camp along the Oregon Coast. It can get a bit noisy…read moresince the campground is right next to Highway 101, but the bubbling brook, the mountains which surround the park, and the trails and streams which lead you directly to a small closed off beach, all make this place worthwhile. It's just close enough to Port Orford that you can drive over in under 10 minutes to get breakfast or dinner and yet you can feel like you're a thousand miles away from anything on the beach which has hardly anyone there except the odd seal whose head will pop out of the waves. The layout, with the mountains, the valley, the brook and the beach, it reminds me strongly of another one of my favourite places on Earth, Olympos, Turkey, only Olympos is strewn with ancient Greek and Roman ruins among lemon and pomegranate orchards and tree houses. That's not to say that Humbug Mountain doesn't also have a special energy of it's own. At 1700 feet it's one of the highest points along the Oregon Coast and the mountain itself is well worth a hike. The trails are kept very well and the hike runs about 2.5 miles to the top. And what a hike it is! You'll enter a beautiful, lush temperate rainforest, mossy trees, ferns everywhere, giant Pacific pines as you make your way to the top. Apparently Native Americans once used the mountain as site for vision quests but many people have forgotten the fact. The view at the top is somewhat blocked now since the trees have grown but it's a reminder that it's not the destination that counts, it's the journey there.

The dump station and restrooms were open, restrooms clean. Although I much prefer more spacious and private sites, the grounds were well-maintained.

There's a small clubhouse but it's not obvious if it's in use or reservable. The bathrooms are padlocked and look like they haven't been open in years. One of the coolest things I've seen at a park is right here: a cabinet with sports equipment you can borrow. There are golf clubs and balls, tennis rackets and balls, and even a baseball glove.

This is not a swimming beach, like the other beaches along Oregon and Northern California, the water is way too cold and turbulent and there are probably sharks in the area (since they like cold water). This is more of a walking and exploring kind of beach. Both times I came, I basically had the entire beach to myself except for some seagulls and the odd turkey-vulture that showed up on my path. You can walk, and walk and walk and not see another soul. Along with the setting sun against the sea haystacks, the photo ops and atmosphere here cannot be beat. With forested pines running along a cliff behind you, few beaches are as wild as this one, without a development in sight anywhere. Let's hope it stays that way because the natural beauty here is truly pristine and overwhelming.

We arrived late after dark and it was very easy to check in with no ranger present at the gate house.

Generally, Bandon doesn't get as much attention as some of the other spots up the coast, but I really liked it here. The beach is quiet and peaceful and, although it doesn't have the crazy rock formations that some others do, it is definitely worth a visit. The driftwood here was nuts!
