Oregon RV Parks

Humbug Mountain State Park

The next stop was at Humbug Mountain state park, on the coast a ways north. When I pulled in I was delighted to learn that it was a free day for Oregon state parks. No charge for camping! The place was almost empty, in spite of the free day and you can just see my rig off in the trees in the first shot. It's a beautiful park, with a small stream flowing through it and meeting up with the ocean. A short walk from the park and you are on a beautiful beach.... The sand was almost black and there were lots of shells and driftwood to be picked up, as well as a plethora of starfish scattered around. I took some time one afternoon and hiked part way up Humbug Mountain. It was a beautiful hike, with lots of flowers of all kinds blooming all around. The constant moisture of the coastal environment makes everything green and lush. I snapped a few pix along the trail, including some of the wildflowers. The last shot of of the sun setting on the beach was taken from a vantage point on the cliffs above the beach. What a pretty area! It was great having the beach so close and I spent a fair amount of time just walking along the shore....
