ProviderAbout this campground
Tucked away in a lush forest corridor, Sixes River Recreation Site offers 19 peaceful campsites along the meandering banks of the pristine Sixes River. This hidden gem invites visitors to slow down and reconnect with nature through lazy afternoons of swimming in crystal-clear pools, casting lines for native fish, or trying your hand at gold panning just as prospectors did generations ago. Whether you're seeking a tranquil picnic spot beneath towering trees or a basecamp for coastal adventures, this riverside sanctuary delivers the perfect blend of relaxation and recreation.
Sixes River Campground primarily caters to traditional camping experiences with tent and RV sites. There is no indication of group-specific or luxury camping options.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time with a visit to the nearby Cape Blanco Lighthouse, Oregon's westernmost beacon that has guided mariners since 1870. The surrounding area tells stories of early settlers, maritime heritage, and gold rush dreams, offering enriching educational experiences that bring the region's colorful past to life.
Weather and SeasonsFrom Memorial Day through September, warm summer days beckon visitors to enjoy the refreshing river waters and comfortable camping conditions. The campground comes alive during these months when temperatures create ideal conditions for outdoor adventures and evening campfires under star-filled skies.
Natural Features and SceneryA magnificent canopy of big-leaf maples, stately oaks, and towering Douglas-firs creates a natural cathedral overhead, filtering sunlight into dancing patterns across the forest floor. This diverse woodland ecosystem provides cooling shade on warm days while framing stunning views of the Sixes River as it winds through the verdant landscape.
Geological RegionNestled within Oregon's spectacular coastal forest region, the campground sits perfectly positioned between mountain and sea. Ancient Douglas-firs tower alongside graceful big-leaf maples and sturdy oaks, creating a rich tapestry of Pacific Northwest forest life just minutes from dramatic ocean vistas and rugged coastal formations.
