What campers say
The campground report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the published scores tell a clear story: campers love the beach, the clean bathhouses and the friendly hosts, and the gripes are about noise in the loops, close-set sites and the out-of-state surcharge.

Open
Harris Beach State Park is run by Oregon Parks and Recreation at the north edge of Brookings. Its campground has 65 full-hookup sites, 29 electric sites, 54 tent sites and six yurts in four loops above a beach of sea stacks and tide pools. It suits RVers who want a well-run public campground with hookups in one of the mildest corners of the coast.
Best for
- Beach lovers: trails lead down to sea stacks, tide pools and sunset views of Bird Island.
- Full-hookup fans: 65 sites with water, sewer and electric, plenty for a coastal state park.
- Winter travelers: the campground is open all year in mild Brookings.
- Families: a playground, Junior Ranger programs and yurts for friends without an RV.
Consider this
- Out-of-state campers pay a 25% surcharge, and summer sites book up months ahead.
- Sites are close together in places, and the loops can be noisy in the evening.
- The park’s FAQ says generators aren’t allowed; confirm before you rely on one.
- Some loops close in winter, so check which sites are open.
