Valley of the Rogue State Park, Gold Hill, Oregon

Date of Stay: September, 2016 - $28.00
Overall Rating:

This is another of Oregon's fine state parks. A Loop is for tent or yurt campers (with 2 additional yurts in E Loop). F Loop sites are only electric and water. B, C, D and E Loops have a total of 95 full hookup sites. We found the back-in sites in outside loops (B and D) preferable as they seemed less congested. Most have large grassy areas which are not found at the pull-through spaces. However, most sites in the full hookup areas are quite spacious. The sites closest to the highway can hear the traffic sounds during the night. There are some inconsistencies regarding the amount of shade and sunlight as well as the slant direction of the not-always perfectly level spaces. It is probably best to count on your second and subsequent stays to select your favorite places for reservations. That allows you to walk through the entire campground on the first visit to note your choices. Added features include a volleyball court, coin operated laundries available in Loops C and F, a disc golf course, good walking and bike trails, and, of course a very nice river that flows by the park. Park personnel and camp hosts are friendly and helpful. We will return. We camped at Valley of the Rogue State Park in a Motorhome.

Harris Beach State Park, Brookings, Oregon

Date of Stay: August, 2016 - $28.00
Overall Rating:

This is a pleasant park. Because of its popularity, and mild summer weather, early reservations are necessary. Choose the site carefully. We look for full hookups and some privacy. D Loop has 12 full hookup sites, but is the least private section. Its nearness to the highway did not cause a noise problem.

The 5 C Loop full sites look okay.

A loop has no full sites, but several cable tv ones. (From D20, we received 26 channels over the air.)

Most attractive are B Loop sites.

There are plenty of trash cans, a number of aluminum can recycle spots, but only one general recycle place in the whole park. There are several nice walks, a good view of the ocean, and a short, but steep road to beach parking and picnic area. We camped at Harris Beach State Park in a Motorhome.

Bullards Beach State Park, Bandon, Oregon

Date of Stay: August, 2016 - $28.00
Overall Rating:

Full hookups in Loops A & B are spacious and well laid out. Most provide privacy due to trees & shrubbery. Loop C sites, while spacious, have less greens for privacy, and less choice of sun and shade. Most sites seem level. A negative is only two places to dispose of waste and recycling. Hence sites furthest from the main camp road require a bit of walking carrying same. We camped at Bullards Beach State Park in a Motorhome.

Robbin's Nest RV Park, Bandon, Oregon

Date of Stay: July, 2016 - $25.00
Overall Rating:

The current owners have owned the park for a year. They were very friendly and helpful - we needed to adjust our TV for the park's cable and they both came to the unit to solve our problem. The place is quiet, the neighboring campers friendly, the mostly pull-through sites level and not crowded together, and the community room well maintained and stocked with a large exchange library. We would be happy to return. We camped at Robbin's Nest RV Park in a Motorhome.
