The best star host camping near Brookings

·

Situated in the southernmost reaches of the Oregon Coast, Brookings is a cute beach town with beautiful scenery and easy access to outdoor adventure, both in southern Oregon and in Northern California. There are plenty of spots to camp in and around town, including Harris Beach State Park, just north of Brookings, and Alfred A. Loeb State Park, about a 15-minute drive from town on the banks of the Chetco River. Both parks offer year-round camping, but Harris Beach is the more RV-friendly of the two, with full hookup sites and a dump station.

33mi from Brookings · 158 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Cave Junction, OR
Cedar Bloom was purchased in the spring of 2017 by Spirit Weavers Gathering as a place of peace and healing, for all walks of life. Spirit Weavers is an annual women's gathering which happens once a year each June. We host over 1,200 women in just two weeks on the land. Our beautiful forested land is located in Southern Oregon, in a small town off the 199 Redwood Highway. The land which we call home is 100 acres of beautiful protected forest and sits upon a mile of the Illinois River. We are very fortunate to be surrounded by a widely diverse population of flora and fauna. As caretakers of this sacred land, we feel a strong responsibility to honor our plant and animal allies by not only protecting them and their habitat, but also to help educate others about what lives and grows here by providing people with opportunities to experience the beauty of these plants and animals for themselves. For this reason, We are honored to host the many different groups who will gather here on this land for learning and communing with the nature that flourishes here. We feel very fortunate to be involved in this process of helping promote a sustainable and abundant future for all living things on this planet by sharing knowledge and skills from the human past that can make a sustainable lifestyle a reality for everyone everywhere. This is our home and we are happy to share it with you!

The rugged terrain of far northern California is one of the few mostly untouched places left to retreat to. Come dwarf yourself under the magnificent giant redwoods and be struck with awe by the mesmerizing jade colored Smith River. The property is a mere 20 minutes from some of the world's tallest trees. Come check out Stout Grove, a rarely crowded gem of the Redwood National and State Parks. The grove is a part of Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park which is the least developed and most impressive park of the four. From your campsite you will have a lovely view of a large bend of the Smith River. It boasts impressive runs of chinook and steelhead, and is host to many other native species. Keep an eye out for bear, mink, and otters! And secure any food or attractants at night. Our property gives you the chance to disconnect from daily life and recalibrate. Use our site as an extended getaway for some peace and quiet, or a launch point to the variety of local attractions.

Cornerstone Ranch is a pristine Ranch of about 500 acres on the Rogue River and against the Pacific Ocean offering too many experiences to count. You can even bring your horse... FYI, Hipcamps map for site locations is not correct. Two go next to the driveway and the other four follow the creek. From the South GPS is very accurate to our driveway. Coming from the North, GPS may drop you a few driveways away as that is the property line. Keep driving about another 1/8th mile until you see the large red "Cornerstone Ranch" sign. That is our driveway. Welcome... The ranch offers 6 different campsites. Campfires are allowed (outside of burn bans), and there is a toilet in off season and Port-A-Potties during the summer on site as well. Reviews from guests: "During the night we could hear Elk and the nearby nature! When we woke up we got to visit with the horses, use the really clean port-potty, and chat with Bonnie and Chris the Hosts. They have tons of recommendations, but our favorite was the Indian creek cafe across the river. The areas so great and clean and the host cares about their guests! Would recommend!"

Welcome to our private Sea Stack Cove on the Southern Oregon Coast! Discover your secluded haven nestled among mature Shore Pines and lush native foliage, offering two private full RV hookup sites within our quiet residential neighborhood. This isn't just a place to park; it's an invitation to unwind, explore, and connect with nature's raw beauty. Choose Your Coastal Hideaway: "Escallonia Alley" offers a deeply private, 80' by 16' foot concrete pad, framed by towering pines and fragrant Escallonia and Camellia hedges. It's a pull-in, back-out spot designed for ultimate seclusion. "Pineapple Palm" is a private back-in site with a direct pull-out, nestled among our charming landscape. A Note on Arrival (Embrace the Adventure!): Our spots are incredibly private, which means navigating them requires a little finesse. For rigs longer than 30 feet, especially bumper-pull trailers, a solid grasp of backing skills will make your arrival smooth and stress-free. Motorhomes under 30 feet will find entry much easier! For our longer-stay guests with bigger rigs, the effort is truly worth the reward of this unique retreat. We believe a little challenge makes the destination even sweeter! When you arrive we'll greet you and discuss how we'll get you in and out. While there are full hook ups, there's also a public dump station just down the highway, and if you come in empty, you probably can avoid the trouble of hooking up for your visit, depending on how long your staying. Your Private Beach Gateway: While our charming home provides a cozy buffer from the elements (and blocks the direct ocean view from your spot), it also grants you exclusive private access to our bluff. A short, adventurous walk down (which can be a bit of a scramble after winter storms – but that's part of the wild coast charm!) leads you directly to our beautiful, uncrowded beach. For an easier stroll, a public access path with stairs to a gorgeous beach is just a couple of

Where to go

Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor

Stretching for 18 miles along Highway 101, from Brookings to Gold Beach, this stretch of coastline is considered by many as the finest in the state. It's also a great place to hike, with options ranging from easy mile-long hikes to longer stretches, and while many people opt to drive and stop at viewpoints along the way, it's not uncommon to see hikers tackling the whole thing.

Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest

Stretching across much of southwestern Oregon and into Northern California, this forest offers miles of trails, tons of campgrounds, and around 200 miles of lakes and streams. It's also home to one of the world's largest pine trees, a ponderosa that measures a whopping 268.35 feet in height.

The California Redwoods

Just over the California border, the Redwood National and State Parks collectively preserve some of the largest trees in the world. There's a lot to see from your car, including a few drive-through trees and the scenic Avenue of the Giants driving route, but it's worth sticking around to camp or hike if you have the time.

When to go

Brookings is a great place to visit no matter the season, but the camping conditions are certainly at their finest during the summer months, when there's less rainfall, but don't expect many hot, sunny days, as summer highs usually top out in the mid- to upper 60s. July and August are the busiest time of year in and around Brookings, so if you want to avoid crowds and rain at the same time, visit in September.
