This beautiful spot on the Smith River was once an old mining claim. The property boundaries actually go half way out into the river. The present house was built in 1957 and has been remodeled a few times since. The host retired from teaching 12 years ago and spends much of her time improving the landscaping and gardening, while playing with her giant Shiloh Shepherd.

Welcome to the Wild West Coast! Where the mountains meet the sea.
The campground is remotely located on private property and perfectly located for excursions to the Pacific Ocean, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, the Smith River National Recreation Area, and the Pacific Coast Ranges and mountain lakes such as the Devil's Punchbowl, Buck Lake, and Raspberry Lake.
Relax and free you mind while camping on 120+ acres of private property under starry skies with almost no light or noise pollution. You are not alone on the mountain as other people live here in the wild. You only have access to the campground and a nearby pond. A locked gate with code access. The road to get there is two and a half miles up the mountain, the first mile is paved and the other mile and a half is gravel. The road is maintained by the county and used daily by others that live and work here. In the surrounding area you can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, surfing, beachcombing, birdwatching, and countless other outdoor activities. French Hill Trail is a few more miles up the mountain road.
The campsites have picnic tables and fire rings, and campers are provided with 5 gallons of potable water. An outdoor, COLD-water Artesian shower, out in the open mountain air with the wild things and an outhouse with a compost toilet are also provided. Bundles of firewood are available for an extra charge when you book your campsite.
The campsites are set within a deciduous and pine forest at about 1913 feet in elevation. There is a pond on the property, but its purpose is for wildlife habitat ONLY, so water activities are NOT allowed. NO swimming, NO fishing, NO boating, NO trapping, etc. The wild things live here!
The property owner has a dog, three cats, and a menagerie of yard birds such as turkeys, peacocks, guinea hens, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. They do make noise! Kirk has lived off-grid for over twenty years and holds a wealth of information about the Gasquet/Del Norte County area.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the property is that it has had documented Sasquatch encounters over the past twenty years that have been published in "Tribal Bigfoot" (D. Paulides 2009). Kirk can tell you about his experiences with this and other phenomena on the property.

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...Located at 94589 N. Bank Rogue River Road i Gold Beach.
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 7 different campsites and a Cabin. Campfires are allowed (outside of burn bans), and there is a flush toilet in off season and additional 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!"

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.

Welcome to Terwer RV Park, a family-owned campground tucked near the edge of Klamath Glen on California’s North Coast. The park has been welcoming guests for more than 40 years, and we’re honored to be part of its next chapter. Around here, we like to call it Klamath’s Best Kept Secret.
Surrounded by redwoods, river access, and quiet coastal beauty, Terwer RV Park is a simple, old-fashioned place to camp. We are not a luxury resort, and that is part of the charm. You will find open space, scattered trees, RV sites, tent camping, fresh air, and a slower pace.
The Klamath River is just over the levee, only a short walk from camp. It is a beautiful place to fish, swim, or sit by the water. The river is known for salmon and steelhead fishing, and a valid fishing license is required. During peak fishing season, especially in August and September, you may hear early morning activity from guests heading out to the river.
We are located about 4 miles off Highway 101, close enough for easy access but far enough away to enjoy a quieter stay. Wildlife is common in the area, so please secure your food and trash at night.
There is plenty to explore nearby, including Redwood National and State Parks, Trees of Mystery, Klamath River Jet Boat Tours, coastal viewpoints, hiking trails, biking routes, and quiet places to wander among the redwoods.
A few things to know before you book:
-Firewood is available on site.
-Cell service can be spotty depending on your carrier. Free Wi-Fi is available and reaches most of the campground.
-Electric vehicle charging is $10 per charge and must be arranged ahead of time. 50 amp service is limited, and guests must provide their own adapters.
-Well-behaved pets are welcome.
-Kids and laughter are always welcome.
-We offer dry camping, 30 amp sites, and 50 amp pull-through sites.
-Late arrivals are okay. If you plan to arrive after 10:00 p.m., please text us before 9:00 p.m. so we can send you check-in instructions.
Terwer RV Park is rustic, peaceful, and easygoing. We look forward to welcoming you.

From the moment of driving through the gate you got a sense of peace and calm. The grounds are private and beautiful. The staff was super friendly but seemed to disappear and give you space. The RV and tent sites looked great but the large Bio-Dome can't be missed. I have already recommended them to my friends and family.

A more private alternative to the many RV/camping lots you'd find in these areas - and more secure than betting on dispersed camping option! It holds 4-5 spaces for different camping parties, an informal, shared restroom space in a tent, and fire pits for some of the camping spots. We had a quiet experience but only one of the other spots were reserved! Appreciated the dog friendly aspect.

We stayed in Black Bear Cabin. For me, the linens on the bed being of great quality and washed in decent detergent was huge. It made the stay.
I also noticed thoughtful details throughout, like log seats around the fire pit. The cute vinyl record player, the walking trails. And the kids liked the mini-golf course as well.

Overview
About
Just north of Brookings, near the California border, Harris Beach State Park offers plenty of tent and RV sites plus a handful of yurts, all situated a short walk from one of the prettiest stretches of Southern Oregon’s coastline. This compact park is particularly popular with families, with a playground, hot showers, a few easy hiking trails, and lots of little tidepools when the tide is low. It's also a great spot for birding enthusiasts, and you can get great views of Goat Island, an offshore National Wildlife Refuge, from numerous points throughout the park.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Campsites, RV hookups, and yurts become available at 6am (Pacific time), six months in advance on the Oregon State Parks' online reservation system.
- Loop C sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis from November 1 through May 24. If you’re visiting on a weekend with good weather, come at sunrise to reserve your place.
- Last-minute spots occasionally open up at the campground due to cancellations. If a cancellation occurs less than 24 hours in advance, you won’t see the open spot in the online system, but you can book directly at check-in.
When to go
The park is open year-round, though some of the B loop and all of the D loop campsites close during winter. The best time of year is during the warmer summer months, notably July through late September. If you want to beat the crowds but still take advantage of pleasant weather, consider mid-week in September (after kids have gone back to school). The best time for whale-watching is in April through May or mid-December through January.
Know before you go
- The closest place to stock up on supplies is the town of Brookings, about a five-minute drive south from the park. Here you'll find a couple of good-sized supermarkets and plenty of restaurants.
- Campers are allowed only one car with their reservation. If you need to bring a second vehicle, be prepared to pay a small additional fee.
- Campfire bans are not uncommon during summer months, particularly when fire risk is high. Fuel and propane camping stoves are also sometimes restricted, depending on the severity of wildfire risk.

Paris Beach Campground was full when I was there as you would expect in August, but it's a great campground if you can reserve a spot or get in by chance. I have camp there before. The day use area is adjacent to the campsite and is open to the public. It's a great beach to walk to and the loop drive takes you right down to Just above the beach. It's always a great place to watch the sunset, or check out some of the trails in Harris Beach State Park that will alternatively take you through open beaches, Rocky tide pool zones, and spruce trees. It's a beautiful place.

Take a stroll out to the tide pools at low tide to hunt for critters in the rocks and keep your eyes peeled for the bobbing heads of seals out to sea.
The showers at this campground are wonderful (compared to your average campground) so go for it and indulge if you so decide. The sites that face the road have easier access to the cliff views but the inner sites tend to be a bit more shady.

Massive, popular yet pleasant campground with incredible proximity to the beach and wonderful views and shoreside trails. Family friendly, friendly staff, clean and quiet (for a place of its size). There are some really killer campsites here that stand head and shoulders above the rest in terms of privacy, setting, and proximity to ocean views. I hope to return soon and write down which ones struck my fancy.

Very well maintained. Gets a lot of day use, but quite peaceful at night. The tent sites are sort of segregated from RV sites, and have nice old school CCC-like masonry work.

If you don't like the noise of children on a playground, avoid the camp sites that surround the playground. It can get SUPER noisy! Spots with best ocean view are A10-A24 (even numbered sites). C1 also has a view. A1, A2, A4, A6 get lots of nice sun!

This campground can get busy with families on weekends so try and go during mid-week. Great hot showers with good water pressure and they are FREE! Also, each shower is its own little room so you don't have to share with anyone. Nice and private!
