The best camping near Port Orford Heads State Park guide

Overview

About

Straddling the Pacific Ocean in coastal southern Oregon, Port Orford Heads State Park features a mix of hiking trails, historic buildings, and fantastic ocean views. It's the site of the Port Orford Lifeboat Station (a former US Coast Guard Station that now houses a museum), as well as a boathouse and a 36-foot motor lifeboat collectively listed in the National Register of Historic Places. While this park is for day use only with no overnight camping, there are plenty of places to camp in the immediate area, and the town of Port Orford is just a short drive away.

When to go

Port Orford Heads State Park is open annually from May through October, and the on-site museum is open from May through September (except Tuesdays). It rains a lot in this part of Oregon, particularly in the springtime, though if you’re willing to brave May showers, you’ll be rewarded with the chance to see wild irises in bloom at the park. July and August tend to be the warmest and driest (but also the busiest) months to visit.

Know before you go

Camping is not permitted in the park, though there are plenty of spots to pitch a tent in the area.
While the historic site is a big draw, the trails make the park worth visiting alone and offer great views of the ocean. Bring binoculars if you have them.
The park is home to a large population of black tail deer. It's important to neither approach nor feed these creatures, for their own protection.
ADA-accessible vault toilets are available and open even when the museum is not.
