About

Anglers cast for cutthroat trout and salmon. The beach and a day-use parking area can be accessed within a half-mile from the campground. The Rock Creek Wilderness Area, within the Siuslaw National Forest, encompasses about 7,500 acres. The area is comprised of a dense coniferous rainforest, where bigleaf maple and red alder trees line the creeks, and rhododendrons dot the forest floor. Facilities The campground offers single-family sites situated along Rock Creek. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. No electric hookups are available. Natural Features Campsites are situated along Rock Creek, just off the Pacific Coast of Oregon in the Siuslaw National Forest, where mosses drape the branches and ferns cover the forest floor, lending a rain forest appearance. The Siuslaw stretches from the lush forests of the coastal mountains to the Oregon Dunes and beaches of the Pacific. Siuslaw is one of only two national forests that border the Pacific Ocean. The campground's close proximity to the beach provides opportunities to view awe-inspiring Pacific sunsets, which often leave lasting impressions on visitors. A variety of wildlife can often be viewed on the coast, including pelicans and other shorebirds, sea lions and migrating whales.
