About
Winchuck Campground occupies a scenic location along the Winchuck River in the Gold Beach Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The river flows into the Pacific Ocean just half a mile north of the Oregon-California border, making this campground a convenient base for exploring both the southern Oregon coast and the northern California redwoods. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. The forested setting offers shade and privacy, while the adjacent river provides opportunities for fishing and swimming. Nearby Ludlum Campground and the Chimney Camp Trail offer additional recreation options in the area. Access is via County Road 896 (Winchuck River Road) from US Highway 101, transitioning to Forest Road 1107 after approximately 7 miles. The campground is about 13 miles south of Brookings and convenient to ocean beaches as well as inland forest recreation.
