About
Sunshine Bar Campground is a small, primitive campground located on the banks of the Wild and Scenic Elk River in the Powers Ranger District of Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The campground features 6 lush campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, making it an ideal spot for tent camping and small RV use. The campground sits along the Wild Rivers Coast Scenic Bikeway, offering cyclists a scenic riverside rest stop. The pristine Elk River provides excellent opportunities for fishing, swimming in clear pools, and wildlife viewing. The surrounding forest creates a secluded atmosphere for those looking to escape into nature. The campground is first-come, first-served with no reservations. Visitors must pack out all trash as there is no garbage service, and should bring their own drinking water as none is available on-site. Access requires a 19-mile drive east from Port Orford on Forest Road 5325. The remote location and primitive facilities attract campers seeking solitude and a true backcountry experience while still enjoying developed campsites. Maximum stay is 14 days, with quiet hours enforced between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
