Huntley Park Campground

I had a friend meet me here and we both adored this campground, run by the Port of Gold Beach. The river views are stunning, the birding is fantastic, and the local trails like the Rogue River Walk and the Frances Shrader Old Growth Trail very worthwhile (and educational in the case of the latter trail). For a large campground it was quiet and peaceful. We felt that that was due, in part, to the older clientele but, also, to the management done by the Camp host (so sorry to forget your name) and the assistant camp hosts, Carrie and Ernie. The showers here cost only $2.00 - the water is nice and hot and lasts a long time. The sites were spacious. There is a grass volleyball/badminton court. I will definitely come back.

Aside from the bathrooms which have seen better days, this place is beautiful. What's not to like about having a grassy lawn to park your rig on, and enjoy sunshine and a beautiful river in your backyard? The sites were level, the neighbors were quiet, and the camp host was very nice. We had lots of sun for our solar panels.
This river has salmon runs throughout the year and we saw fisherman along the bank of the river at times. I even bought a fishing license to try my luck but to no avail. We watched a seal and an osprey both days doing their thing. This campground is a refreshing alternative to the typical "family style" campgrounds where so many sites are packed into a small area in the trees.
It is extremely peaceful and open here, and a great place to unwind and let the sights and sounds of nature wash over you.
