Brookings to Florence, OR
Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park
Distance: 153 miles
Duration: 1 night
Cost: $31
Weather: Cool and rainy
We weren't in a big rush to leave the campground in Brookings, but after breakfast we headed on up the highway to Florence. The fall colors were so pretty and in spite of having driven this highway many times, we were still in awe of the beauty of the forest.
We arrived at the campground without any trouble and since we didn't have reservations, we drove around the first couple of loops until we found a nice site. This state park has huge, tall trees with lots of shrubbery between the sites. We didn't have any problem with privacy since the park was practically empty, but during the summer months, the trees and shrubs would be adventageous for shade and privacy. It's a really nice state campground with only a little road noise (and the occasional ATV noise out on the dunes). It rained heavily during the night, but we still slept soundly. The sites are level, asphalt pads with full hook-ups, picnic table and fire ring. Pretty much your typical Oregon state park, which we have come to love over the past two years.
Not our campground, but we camped here in June (2018).
Beautiful area but no cell service!

Oregon moss.
Pretty much had the entire loop to ourselves.
No neighbors, which is always nice!

We'll definitely be back!

Distance: 66 miles
Home!
What a lovely campground!
ReplyDeleteKathy, it's been almost a year since we were here and we haven't been back. It's very popular during the summer so we thought we'd return in the off-season, but never did. Maybe in 2020. It is quite lovely.
DeleteSo beautiful. Those trees look a bit spooky don't they? I think my mind must be on Fall and spooky reads :)
ReplyDeleteIliana, yes those trees do look a bit spooky! I love them.
