About Sixes River Campground Or

Sixes River Campground sits along the banks of the Sixes River in Oregon's coastal forest region, offering 19 campsites beneath a canopy of Douglas-fir, big-leaf maple, and oak. The campground operates Memorial Day through September 30. Visitors come for river swimming, fishing, and gold-panning in a setting reviewers describe as peaceful and spacious.

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 Significance

The area saw gold-panning activity from early prospectors, and visitors still try their luck in the river today. Cape Blanco Lighthouse, Oregon's westernmost light, has operated since 1870 and sits nearby.
