Stayed here in mid-October for only one night, but wished we could have stayed longer. We got the last site available online, a pull-through without any hookups. The site details said 25' max length, and our trailer is actually 27' when you count the tongue. We fit, but barely. Our slide-out was just pass the yellow line that distinguished the campsite from the road. I also got into the junipers a little bit getting tucked back into the pull through. There were better sites to be sure, but none available.

But even being on the road we felt like we had plenty of privacy as we looked out from our doorway into the wild blue yonder, not seeing any other campsites. Great views of some of the hoodoos in the campground.

The visitor center was interesting, with books, t-shirts, interpretive displays, and an ice cream freezer! Very nice staff on site.

The dump site gets 5 stars in my book. Everything works, and there is flush out water available.

There are plenty of trails and roads within the park to explore. I think you could easily spend a week here by taking your time.

Utah gets it right when it comes to State Parks. I wished Idaho did.

Located just a couple of miles north of Brookings, OR., Harris Beach State Park is a gem! It's easy to get to off of Hwy 101, but the campsites are far enough away from the highway to avoid all but the loudest of trucks roaring down the road.

Our site was perhaps one of the easiest to park that I've ever had. All of the volunteers were very friendly and helpful. Oregon State Parks now has a 100% online reservation system, where Park Rangers and Volunteers won't be able to do much for you in terms of securing a site. You have to do it yourself, even if a site is vacant and not reserved, you have to go online and reserve it yourself. You pay online and that seems to be the only way to get a site. We were there in mid-March, and although there was a 'Vacancy" sign on the highway, and as you enter the campground, you couldn't tell from driving the campground, what was really reserved, or taken.

We arrived around 1500, and there was no one at the gate shack as you enter. I did not know what site I had reserved 6 weeks earlier, and missed the 'check-in' units schedule posted at the shack. We weren't online when we arrived, and so I tracked down a park person who was emptying trash cans to ask him if he could tell us. He got on his hand-held radio and asked someone and told us in short order. Lesson, know what site you are going to. Also, there are no parking tags to hang on your rear-view mirror or lay on your dashboard, and no one checks if a vehicle belongs in the park, or not.

The park is easy walking distance to a couple of small and picturesque beaches, and not a long walk to Brookings. The park has a single dump site for those that do not have a sewer connection. The park is very clean and most sites have sufficient shrubbery to give you some privacy.
