Humbug Mountain State Park

Humbug Mountain State Park

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.

Stayed here one night recently but only a brief stop, so this only pertains to the campground. The…read moreonly section open was the smaller (low numbered) loop. This loop is quite tight with little to no privacy (depending on the site). The larger (closed) loop definitely looked much more appealing...but we were grateful that at least they were open. The dump station and restrooms were open, restrooms clean. Although I much prefer more spacious and private sites, the grounds were well-maintained. Nice trees and a lovely creek, but unfortunately the highway is very close and we could hear traffic the whole night.

This is a great campground, one of our favorites The staff does a great job keeping everything…read moreclean and maintained. The sites are huge and mostly very private , with heavy foliage between sites. The beach is close by, although at the end of a steep hill.

Back again to this remote campground 7 years later, this time in an RV. Sites have water and…read moreelectric, and can be reserved through ReserveAmerica. I recommend reserving in advance. 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.

When the lady in Ray's Food Place suggested my companion and I check out a BLM campground - I…read moreadmit, as a Northern Californian - I had my doubts: images of dusty, dry, rattlesnakey territory without toilets, tables and no fires allowed instantly filled my brain. However, we did not want to sleep under the fog so we headed north to Sixes and turned east. After following a curving riverside road - we found ourselves at the camp host's site and the sign in board. The camp host popped out of the window of her RV to greet us and give us an orientation, pointing us to a spot where we could camp. This was the most POSH BLM campground I have ever seen: neatly manicured green grass bisected by a flat gravel driveway, concrete picnic tables and fire pits on each site, well behaved Douglas firs sprinkled around. The site was $8 for the night and $5 for as much wood as we wanted to load in their wheelbarrow and haul back for the night. Most folks in the campground seemed to turn in early - including the couple camped near us with a cat and a dog in their tent (woof! mew!). Even the most drunk guy there seemed to go down at sunset. We slept in the open with a view of the Milky Way traveling across the sky - and I got to see two shooting stars. There was NO fog, no noisy traffic - just the sounds of the creek nearby and some birds who thought 3:30am was the right time to start greeting the dawn. No showers, either but that's what a creek or river serves when you camp like this (unless you leave at 6am like we did!).
