Humbug Mountain State Park

Definitely one of our amazing discoveries found along our route! The trail at the lower loop of the campground will give you access to a private beach where a fresh water stream meets the ocean.

You’ll find plenty of driftwood and unique rocks. We stopped after a rainstorm in early November and the temp couldn’t have been more perfect. 60 degrees and no wind.

What beauty! Definitely a stop worth making!!

Definitely one of our favorite State Park Campgrounds! Host Volunteers and Rangers take good care of this park. Fresh berry picking all over, firewood for sale daily at just $5 a bundle and great trails nearby! There's a short trail with direct access to a small/private beach off of the lower loop of the campground. The brush creek runs into the ocean so you have your choice of both fresh and salt water to enjoy. The only downside that we saw was that this beach and campground (especially the lower loop) can get really windy! The lower loop is definitely more busy and populated than the upper loop. Rangers patrol the campground well, so campers seemed to be more respectful than other parks we've been to. Definitely a stop worth making!!

Just got done camping here in early May for the weekend, and it was such a great time! My party got to interact with a couple of the camp hosts and they were SO welcoming and kind and helped us with any problem solving!
Easy access to beach (narrow, sand path on riverbank), and small walk to the trail head. The bathrooms were impressively well kept- way better than expected when camping! Absolutely recommend

The campground hosts take beautiful care of this place and were so kind and attentive to us even though we pulled in while it was getting dark. We were stopping just for one night while traveling between visits to family and this was a wonderful stop over. Loved the short walk to the beach and the clean restrooms.

Breath taking. Camped here over the weekend, staff was always around despite the weather conditions. Staff was also sympathetic when our campsite was affected by the rainy and helped us out!

We love stopping here any chance we get. The hike up Humbug is pretty mild and the views are amazing !
Beach access is a it of a hike . Sites are all great, clean restrooms.
I did pull a few ticks off the dog last time and one off me.

Look for the geological marker on top .
The day use area is just what you need to stretch your legs and listen to the creek .

We love Humbug. Every year we stay here for 3-4 nights on our RV trip in June/August. So many memories have been made at this small coastal park.

The campground has RV sites with water/electricity and a very clean dump site. RV sites along the mountainside are great and even have trail access. The restrooms are clean, maintained and with large, family restroom/showers. Hot water too.

Our family loves the beach access from the campground. It's literally a 5-minute walk to a gorgeous beach and you can even do a bit of river/creek walking along the way. You might see some whales along the coastline here!

The Junior-Ranger program is so much fun for kids. Ranger-led hikes are also available. We loved the Fern Trail hike and discovering the vegetation along the way. Humbug trail is a fairly strenuous hike but it's on our list for the kids to do!!

The campground is bike-friendly and there is a large meadow to play in. We keep coming back to Humbug and you should give it try, highly recommended!

Awesome campground. Jay and Sanora were very welcoming and helpful. Very clean throughout. Great experience.

Expert level trail. 3 miles to ascend over 1700 ft to the summit. It's extreme uphill. I only made a half mile before throwing in the towel. Someday I want to complete this trail. Poison oak all over the trail.

Absolutely beautiful place. There are restrooms in the day use area but no sinks that I could find just as a warning. Once you park cross the bridge and you will see a beautiful area filled with picnic benches and educational signs. 11/10 would reccomend

Easy access to a cute little beach, though much of it was inaccessible during high tide without wading a very deep creek (above the knees). I love hiking the challenging trail up Humbug Mountain. This trip I discovered the section of old coast highway above the campground that also made for a nice hike.
I was able to walk on to a campsite without a reservation on a sunny Saturday in May.

I wanted to camp last minute over the Fourth of July weekend and Humbug had a site. I drove down from Portland and spent two nights there. The camp was clean and well maintained. I stayed in a tent site without electric. It was inexpensive. It was a bit close to neighbors without too much brush in between but everyone was respectful. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. The showers were hot, which was good! The volunteers were friendly and helpful. I took a couple small trails (Amphitheater) and Fern and they were worthwhile. Fern had a few rough spots but the views were great! I didn’t want to climb Humbug Mountain so I’m glad I had other opportunities. The walk to the beach was not too far and the beach itself was very cozy, since really only visitors to the campground were there. I saw seals in the late afternoon and evening. During the day it was super relaxing just to hang out there. Very soft sand (which made walking a bit effortful) but made lounging very comfortable. Oregon has many nice state parks and this is certainly one of them!

This is really a nice park with lots to do and see! Enjoyed 😉 my stay. Have been going here for many years and love going back❣

This was a great campground. Most of the sites are spacious (some are too small) the near private beach was fun. The stream going through the camp was fun to play in. The showers were hot and clean. The trails were great. Go a few miles up or down the 101 to find local attractions

We stayed just one night here on a road trip but were very impressed. The campsites and bathrooms were very clean and the Park Rangers Alec and Heather were wonderful. Right after we left they even called us to let us know an expensive item had been left behind, thankfully it wasn’t ours but we were impressed with how thoughtful and thorough their care of the State Park is!

The lower loop is fairly close to the road and you do hear the cars driving by, but it wasn’t to loud at night and it was worth it to be closer to the beach access.

We didn't stay here but did walk our dog 1/2 mike up the Old Hwy 101 (closed to traffic) just outside the campground. That's where all my pictures were taken. Make sure you walk as far as the small bridge. The waterfall is gorgeous.

Best kept campground in Oregon. The volunteers were totally on top of the place. Clean restroom and shower. Even raked each campsite when people checked out. Great walk to beach. Gorgeous place. Heavy mist and fog gave it eerie feel one day.

I love hiking here! I often take the old highway 101 up to the end then into the for forest back down to the campground where I head to the beach. Humbug Mountain is a great strenuous hike when you want a bit of a challenge. It's a beautiful spot for sure. Enjoy!

This small state park has a nice beach that is only accessible from the park, so it’s not crowded. The campground has many sites long enough for medium length trailers, and maybe almost half have water and electricity.

We are camping in February, so the loop of sites closer to the beach is closed, but if you don’t want to walk that far, you can drive to that loop and park by the short trail to the beach. This morning we walked from site #9 in the loop farther from the beach to the beach and down to the North end where the beach is covered in rocks. The distance there and back was 2.5 miles. I’d guess it’s not even .5 mile to the beach.

At the end of the trail where you arrive at the beach the trail drops about 14” so you have two steep steps to take on eroded sandstone and loose sand. A bit tricky for those of us who don’t have sure footing. But it’s only that one place.

Verizon cell service is decent. We are having no trouble sending pics in texts and posting to Facebook in the campground and on the beach.

Stayed in the hike/bike campground, which was absolutely beautiful. All the facilities worked great and bathrooms were clean!
