点评:Harris Beach State Park is a beautiful and convenient place to camp on the southern Oregon coast. The biggest highlight is the easy access to an incredibly scenic beach. We have visited Cannon Beach and Astoria several times, and Harris Beach is every bit as breathtaking, with dramatic rock formations and expansive ocean views.
The campground is large and offers a nice variety of accommodations, including sites with water and electric hookups, basic tent sites, and several yurts. There is also a decent playground that our children, ages 8 and 11, enjoyed. Several trails lead directly from the campground to the beach, or you can drive to a lower parking area for easier access. There’s also a trail ~2 miles/40 min walk that takes you into the heart of town.
We preferred taking the trails down to the beach, which wound through pretty wildflowers and around large rock formations.
A few things to be aware of when booking: some sites appear fairly short once you factor in both a trailer/camper and a tow vehicle, so double-check the maximum site length.
I would also recommend booking as close to the ocean side of the campground as possible. We stayed in Loop F and could clearly hear highway traffic and semi-truck brakes throughout our stay.
The restroom stalls were clean and the shower water was warm, but the shower floors were consistently dirty. Water puddled easily, leaving you standing in murky water, which was unpleasant.
Brookings itself feels a little tired, but the campground is ideally located for a three- to five-day stay. It makes a great home base for exploring the redwoods to the south and the Samuel H. Boardman Scenic Corridor to the north. The beach alone makes the stay worthwhile.
For families, if the marine layer is especially thick or chilly at the campground, consider visiting the fantastic playground at Azalea Park, just a few minutes away. Traveling slightly inland often brings you into sunshine and warmer weather.
We also appreciated being close to Cosmic Grind for drive-through coffee, Whimsical Griffin for comics and a few free arcade games, Hip Nautical Gifts for souvenirs near the harbor, and Fred Meyer for groceries and camping essentials.
Firewood is available to buy at the campground during a specific time period. Check with the camp hosts.
Overall, Harris Beach State Park is a fine campground for families and a base for exploring the southern Oregon coast. We would stay again, but would choose a site closer to the ocean and farther from the highway.
翻译:哈里斯海滩州立公园是俄勒冈州南部海岸上一个风景优美且交通便利的露营地。最吸引人的亮点莫过于能轻松抵达那片景色绝美的海滩。我们曾多次造访坎农海滩和阿斯托里亚,而哈里斯海滩同样令人心醉神迷——那里有形态各异的岩石群,还有一望无际的壮丽海景。
公园内的露营区面积宽敞,提供了多种住宿选择:带有供水和电力接口的营位、基础的帐篷营位,还有好几座蒙古包式的住宿设施。这里还有一个不错的游乐场,我们8岁和11岁的孩子都很喜欢。有几条小径直接从露营地通向海滩,或者您也可以开车到下方的停车场以便更方便地前往。另外还有一条长约2英里、步行约40分钟的小径,能带您抵达镇中心。
我们更喜欢沿着小径下到海滩,沿途能看到不少野花,还能绕过巨大的岩石群。预订时需要注意几点:考虑到拖车/露营车以及牵引车的长度后,有些营地的可用长度实际上相当有限,因此务必确认营地允许的最大车辆长度。
我还建议尽量选择靠近海边的营位。我们住在F区,整个住宿期间都能清楚地听到公路上的车流声以及半挂车的刹车声。
洗手间很干净,淋浴水也是温热的,但淋浴间的地面却总是很脏。水也很容易积成水洼。这会让你站在浑浊的水中,体验相当不愉快。
布鲁金斯镇本身给人的感觉有点沉闷,但这里的露营地位置绝佳,非常适合停留三到五天。它作为大本营再合适不过了——向北可探索塞缪尔·H·博德曼风景走廊,向南则能游览红木林。光是能享受海滩,这次入住就值得了。
对于带孩子的家庭来说,如果露营地一带的海雾特别浓厚或天气寒冷,不妨带孩子们去杜鹃花公园里那个超棒的游乐场游玩。只需几分钟路程即可到达。往内陆方向行驶一点,通常就能迎来阳光和更温暖的天气。
我们也很喜欢这里靠近多家便利场所:可以驾车购买咖啡的Cosmic Grind、能买到漫画和免费街机游戏的Whimsical Griffin、在港口附近售卖纪念品的Hip Nautical Gifts,还有可以购买食品杂货及露营必需品的Fred Meyer。
在指定的时间段内,可以在露营地购买木柴。详情请咨询营地管理员。
总的来说……哈里斯海滩州立公园是个非常适合家庭露营的好地方,也是探索俄勒冈州南部海岸的理想基地。我们下次还会再来,不过会选择离大海更近、离公路更远的露营地。
