Harris Beach State Park

I love this state park. Some of the RV sites offer ocean views, and the walk to the beach is maybe five minutes. The restrooms are clean and the showers hot. The campground is quiet and people are friendly. Short hikes in the area are perfect for dog walking. I drive up from the San Francisco Bay Area especially for this campground.

One of my all time favorite camping spots. This beach park is beautiful with nice and clean facilities. From the camping area, it is about a 5 minute walk to the beach and it is really just beautiful. I came here towards the end of December and we had great weather.
There are multiple kinds of camping spots varying from just camping to full RV hook up and they do charge by what kind of spot you occupy so keep that in mind

Beautiful RV campground. It’s very well kept and clean. We ended up extending our stay. The fee was reasonable, good location, beautiful views and close to grocery stores, restaurants and laundromat.

Great campground, easy access to beach and trails in the area. A lot of RVs so the bathrooms and showers (which are very nice and heated) are empty. I didn’t see a designated area to wash dishes but I may have missed it. Camp sites are nice (dry, flat, and roomy) and pretty private. $ 20 per night for tent camping is a bit pricy compared to some others.

Loved trailering at Harris… never heard any noise and great views. Stayed 3 nights in October. Great hike with dogs to the beach!

WHITE COLLAR CAMPING is not a bad thing. This place was great. We were tent camping and booked only two days ahead of arrival. The Oregon fire restrictions went into effect the morning of our arrival; and unfortunately, we had brought a charcoal grill and wood to burn. This ended up being no problem at all. We drove down to the Fred Myers only 2 miles down to road and picked up an inexpensive propane grill and disposable tank for under $ 20.
The campgrounds «quite time» was enforced from 10pm-​7am. This was especially appreciated because when it got real quiet you could hear the waves crashing onto the beach from your tent.
The restrooms were clean and always stocked. There were also hot showers that seemed readily available until the weekend.
The beach, just a short hike from the campgrounds, was gorgeous and there were hardly any crowds there even though it got to 85 degrees the day we were there! We weren’t actively looking to do any hiking but we found some easy, short ones close to camp that led us to beaches and gorgeous buttes overlooking the ocean.

Don’t do it! The constant thunder of the 18 hour a day lumber processing plant will drive you nuts. Visit the beautiful beaches and the move on.

$ 20.00 a night tent, water toilet, shower:) I have seen bigger burial sites clean no Oceanview from tent sites

It is close to a lumber mill that operates all night long. I can’t believe hardly anyone is saying anything. We couldn’t sleep at all. My dog stayed awake all night. It was torture once you went to bed. Once we had our tent all set up and were in bed it was too late to get up and leave. I even called the police, they wouldn’t do anything. The camp host was rude and and said yeah we never know when they’ll work all night. Not true, they work 24 hours a day. Pure torture. If you are deaf, it’s a great camp.

We visited HBSP for just a few hours on our way up the OR coast during our recent road trip. What a great park!. We took a trail to the top of a rock tower and were rewarded with a fantastic ocean view. We explored a tidal pool with the same fascination and excitement as the nearby young kid with his dad. Wished we had more time to explore and relax. Should we find ourselves in the area again, we’ll be sure to make more time for this great little park.

If you like car camping, boy is there car camping. We pulled in here on a Monday night after 7 in October, and while there were plenty of open places to park, I mean camp, boy the campers were still out in force! Nevertheless, once you’re ensconced in your spot, it’s reasonably private from everyone else — we picked a good one that had a little bit more space around it, in the «A» section. We didn’t hear the wood processor people refer to, but I think that may be because we got in after dark so our main concern was just having a bit of a fire and then sleeping, and also because we were located very close to the campground entrance.
The camp hosts were incredibly nice and it was nice to have super clean restrooms. We got up around 7 to hit the road, and the place was super quiet still — maybe because it was in October so no kids, maybe because people in RVs just like to sleep in. My kinda people!
Started the day with a stroll along the beach, which is gorgeous. Very good way to start the day.

This was a beautiful beach. Love it!

Price = 3 (no discount for National Park annual pass holders… every other state park did???)
Experience = 3 (see below)
I Love & Hate this place… all at the same time.
Pros:
Beach Walk is hard to beat.
Cons:
Wood Processor across the street is CRAZY LOUD AT NIGHT!!! Bring you eye plugs… Wow! I thought the other reviews had to be too sensitive about this… I was wrong. It’s a long way away from the campsites too… but, night sound travels! The constant loud beeping of the backup warning alarm will drive you nuts.
Such a shame this great shoreline campsite is cursed with this!!!
Recommendation: Try Riverside RV Resort (
) … turn east on the north side of the Chetco river bridge, in about 1000 yards you’ll see the entrance on your right. There are RVs and camping spots. Great Showers and it’s very quiet. $ 24.00 tent per night. Great wifi too!

great campground near the oregon coast
easy walks to the beach nearby
clean bathrooms
communal showers made me feel kinda iffy
but overall, a well maintained and
didn’t encounter many bugs

This beautiful Oceanside campground would be a wonderful place to camp but for the extremely noisy sawmill directly across highway 101. This sawmill operates around the clock, and the thundering sound of huge logs being offloaded there, combined with the «beep beep beep» of heavy equipment backup warnings make earplugs a must accessory in order to enjoy this park. We were kept awake all night by the noise on our first and only night there. We demanded and were granted a full refund for our week-​long yurt reservation. Avoid this campground unless you are deaf or happen to enjoy round-​the-​clock racket of heavy equipment.

Very nice campground, free hot showers, free cable at some sites, WiFi is not too bad, paved camping roads, laundry on site (3 washers $ 1, 3 driers $ 1.25 –7am — 9pm) and very little bugs issues.

A perennial favorite!
Not much to add to the other reviews that hasn’t been said already.
Fishing for surf perch on the beach is recommended in season.
Local pizzeria Zola’s is worth a visit, and the best fish and chips we’ve found are at Sebastian’s. Both down by the harbor.
Some sites, especially in the D-​loop are pretty close to the 101, and there are trucks driving through the night which can be disturbing. Learn your favorite sites, and book ahead. Or, come in the off season/​mid-​week and pick and choose the site you like best!

Nice campsite just cross the Oregon border from California. A very nice walk to the beach. Unlike California, they actually allow dogs on the beach. Most California State beach do not allow dogs on the beach… Just at the campsite.
Oh, one of the first thing the Ranger did was give my dog a treat.

We took a «no plan» vacation to Oregon and found this place at the end of our driving day. What a pleasant surprise!
Clean facilities, very inexpensive camping fees, good oak wood bundles at a reasonable price, and free hot showers. The staff friendly in the way you hope a gracious host would be.
The tent sites were very close together, but you hardly knew it because they are completely private surrounded by lush green trees and bushes. Very very quiet even with many friendly dogs.
Can’t wait to get back!

We stayed in a yurt for 1 night at Harris Beach State Park in March. This was my first time on the Oregon coast and it was absolutely beautiful! Windy, but beautiful! We had a great time experiencing the rocky coast. I feel like the best part was a narrow (somewhat hidden) path up a boulder just off the actual path down to the water. We took the steep climb up the rock and ended up with a beautiful view and some beautiful photos.
The only downside was how close it was to the 101; you could hear the traffic and the semis switching to a lower gear — at times it was loud/​distracting.
