About
Sixes River Recreation Site is a quiet, forested campground managed by the Bureau of Land Management, located approximately 11 miles inland from Highway 101 along Sixes River Road. The campground offers 19 campsites in a shaded hideaway dominated by big-leaf maple, oak, and Douglas-fir trees, providing copious shade throughout the recreation area. The Sixes River is the main attraction, offering excellent opportunities for fishing (steelhead trout in winter and Chinook salmon during spawning runs), swimming, wading, and gold panning. Gold prospecting is particularly popular, with opportunities to pan or sluice year-round. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations available. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, but there are no hookups of any kind and no drinking water on-site. The location provides warm temperatures and easy access to nearby coastal attractions including Cape Blanco Lighthouse, New River Nature Center, Oregon State Parks, and several coastal beaches. Campers should be aware that poison oak is common throughout the campground area. Dogs must be kept on a 6-foot leash at all times.
