I needed a beach day. Ok, honestly maybe a beach week!
After freezing my bunz off at Crater Lake I came to the beach for a relaxing week at Harris Beach State Park on the southern Oregon coast. Bookings, OR is about 20 miles north of the California border.
The temperatures were in the high 60’s and low 70’s during the day and 50’s at night. Perfect for RV camping. It only rained for 2 days, but that’s not a big deal as I was able to utilize that time to get groceries, get my oil changed, tires replaced, run to the post office, clean, vacuum, etc. Just because I’m traveling full time doesn’t mean I “vacation” 24/7. I have chores and errands like everyone else.
There were a few paths down to the ocean, one paved and steady with a decent incline. this was the southernmost one from the campground.
One was not paved once you got half way down and we had to scramble between rocks down a narrow path. It was fun, but Aesop almost pulled me to my death from excitement. This one is directly across from the campground
The last one, northernmost, is located next to a parking lot and has a ramp going down. I would consider this the mildest of them all, so anyone who has any concerns with safety of mobility, this is the path for you.
Rugged beach with beautiful sea stack formations, lots of driftwood, sounds of waves crashing on the beach. It feels very peaceful and secluded.
As always Aesop was enjoying himself. His favorite pastime is rolling around in the sand… and bringing all of the sand inside of the camper. Hence creating work for me and my vacuum.
Brooking Oregon is a very cool town. It has a Nautical feel to it, as a coastal city should. Very cute downtown area with lots of businesses, restaurants, tourism. The campground had full hookup sites, partial hookups (water and electric only) and dry or tent camping sites.
They had showers!!!! For FREE! It felt like heaven to be able to take a nice hot, long shower daily!
Another favorite pastime of mine is watching the sunset on the beach. No words can describe its beauty.
Last thing i wanted to mention are tides. Anytime you decided go to the beach, especially if you are making it a hike a few miles down, it is imperative to read the tide table before you go. On rugged and remote beached it’s easy to be stranded if the tides rise and there is no way off the beach.

I’m so glad you are getting to see such beauty!
Me too. Even driving through New Mexico yesterday had me in an awe.
How cool! The beach looks amazing!!!
