Umpqua River Lighthouse Museum Giftshop & Coastal Visitors Center
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
19th-century white brick lighthouse with adjacent Coast Guard museum, tours & gift shop.
We showed up to do a tour and it was closed due to maintenance. The museum host was very gracious and hosted us the next morning. It was a very informative tour with many interesting facts about this specific lighthouses history and the Oregon coasts other lighthouses. Very much enjoyed the 45 min tour in the lighthouse as well the museum. The info just on how the glass lens technology was developed justified the time. Worth the time and small cost!

This light house is so unique to the others I've been to in Oregon. You are able to go inside the lens unlike other tours. The tour guides are passionate about their tours and are interactive with their group which is always so fun. The museum has tons to explore and I will definitely be back to see this one at night as it gives off a beautiful red which I've never seen before. Can't wait to visit again!

The Umpqua River Lighthouse is a great stop for so many reasons! First, the TOUR. The tour is terrific! I think the cost was $8 per person and for that we got both a guided tour and the opportunity to explore their museum at our own pace. The museum had multiple rooms filled with history on both the lighthouse and the Coast Guard. It was an interesting place to explore and it gave us some context for the building we were about to see. The lighthouse itself was beautiful, but the most amazing part was at the top of the stairs, where we could actually stand inside the revolving lens! I’ve been to many lighthouses and I can honestly say I’ve never had that experience. Plus it’s a very rare red Fresnel lens, so bonus points! Our tour guide, Mike, was incredibly knowledgable. He was full of fascinating facts and stories. We probably could have spent another hour talking to him, but he did have other tours to get to. :) Beyond that, you have the view, which is gorgeous. We stopped at one of the benches and ate our lunch overlooking the sand dunes, forest and ocean beyond. They also have a great little gift shop were you can purchase souvenirs or even grab a light meal. It’s an all around wonderful stop that you don’t want to miss!

Definitely a cool place to visit. The lighthouse is well maintained, in wonderful condition, and it’s unique 1-red 2-white beam shines 24hrs a day. I highly recommend taking the lighthouse tour, very historically informative and you’re guided to the top! We visited 2 years ago and I failed then to take the tour, and I vowed to return, and we did last Wednesday. Also, great museum and gift shop…food is available at the gift shop too. I wanted to try the chowder, but was too full from earlier breakfast.

I have toured many a lighthouse and this is the best tour. You can climb into the lightroom while it is operating and see the 1st order fresnel lens.

Only 1st order fresnel you can go into on the west coast!! Amazing tours and a great little museum. Highly recommend!! Thanks jim for a great tour!

Cool lighthouse. Able to get great photo on the inside. Interesting history tour. One of the multiple lighthouses on the Oregon coast one needs to see.
David Neely — Google review
I loved the lighthouse. You can tour it and the cute museum for $8. Small tours, informative. The museum was well worth the time too. I learned much about signaling, and the lives of coast guard. Well worth a stop on the way to the beaches and dunes.
Liane Lau — Google review
Really cool thing to see. The Coast Guard maintains the lighthouse and there is a great Coast Guard museum onsite as well. You get a bird's eye view of the jetty and the bar. No boats going either way on this visit! The swells must have been close to 20 feet tall.
Bill McMillan — Google review
Highly recommend the light house tour. You can pop your head into the upper area and see the beautiful ruby and white lens. It took my breath away. The gift shop has wonderful cookies and other desserts.

There is some beauty to be found here in a short break from a coastal drive. One thing missing in Oregon's smaller roads are restrooms. This attraction has some right at the parking lot. It's pay-to-park but my National Forest Pass did the trick. The walk up to the keeper's cottage is nicely maintained and a reasonable slope.
Headland with sea views, a picnic area & cove trails leading to beaches & tidepools.
Both the North and South beaches offer amazing views. We saw deer roaming around and the whale watchers were in abundance. Easy to get to. We went on a Friday afternoon so parking and access were uncrowded.
Glenn Newland — Google review
Beautiful views along the way to the end of Cape Arago Hwy! There are a lot of viewpoints and even a cute little spot for a picnic. Even a bench to sit and read a book while overlooking the ocean. At low tide, there is a (steep) path that takes you down to the beach and to the tide pools. At one of the viewpoints, you can hear the sea lions! There are lots of hikers and families along this route, so definitely go the speed limit and mind your steps along the cliffs!
Cassandra Staten — Google review
Such a beautiful park, showcases the Oregon coastline. We saw some sea lions and the coastline rock formations are amazing, you can go down below and climb back up if you have the ability to do that. If not, the views are scenic. I recommend going to this place. The comfort rooms/washrooms were closed though when we were there temporarily. Expect strong winds and erratic weather since it's the coastline!
Mark Pua — Google review
Amazing, we lucked out, and there were hundreds of sea lions. It was so cool, and they were even closer than they were at the sea Lion caves. I don't know how often they are here on the rocks, but it was amazing to see them.
Levi Berry — Google review
We saw sea lions lounging on the rocks in the North Cove. Amazing view, huge feisty waves rolling on the shore.
Plumeria Bodhisattva — Google review
One of the most beautiful hikes I've been on. Gorgeous views and we saw seals and sea lions. Bring the family, binoculars, sunglasses, a hat, a good camera and a jacket cuz it's windy.
Amanda — Google review
Great views and tidepools on the south side. The path is pretty steep and only paved part of the way. Be prepared to maneuver a small path atop a 5 foot drop from cliff to beach and climb over rocks and logs.
Rachel O (Oregon Dill) — Google review
Visited on a cold, wet day. The waves at the point were fantastic!!
G Grubb — Google review
Beautiful. This entire area is gorgeous. We went at low tide, the "rough and rugged" coast did not disappoint! Much to see and do with a nice walking beach with easy access is near by. A don't miss when in the area. Much more to see near by with the Shore Acres botanical garden near by. We will be going back often.
Jodie Purviance — Google review
One word: “Beautiful”!
I was only able to see the very end, Cape Arago portion of the park. I hiked down to the ocean’s edge. Not advisable as there is a lot of loose gravel. Easy to slip and fall into rough waves and rocks. I did get some nice photos. Also, hundreds of seal lions close by. I enjoyed their barking.
Jerry Lucas — Google review
Awesome view points but the path to see the tide pools was blocked on the north side. There’s an island of sea lions off the actual coast like 1.5 miles out (not accessible) that you can see from one of the view points.
Lesly Lujan — Google review
Beautiful stop along our travel route. Gorgeous views.
c “cfl” lane — Google review
Cape Arago is a hidden gem! Seriously, I’m torn over giving it the glowing review it deserves or keeping it a secret for myself and other locals! It’s hardly ever crowded with tourists, but the sweeping ocean views are spectacular. It’s worth the detour off the 101 for sure, not just for it specifically, but for the stops along the way as well. If you have the time, there’s a short paved trail to a viewpoint of the seals and sea lions that is simply incredible. They have bathrooms but they’ve been closed everytime I’ve gone there, however there are flush toilets at sunset beach which is not far away on the same road. Most of the views are accessible however the sea Lion tail would be difficult to navigate a wheelchair due to the steep dips and bumpy old pavement. There are some really lovely picnic table spots right at the cliffs edge where you can listen to the barking of the seals and the crashing of the waves.
Laurel Hoffman — Google review
Very pretty and relaxing. Great place to picnic, if you watch for goodt weather.
Camille Adams — Google review
There is such good tide pooling in this park! We ended up spending most of our time here, it was fabulous! In addition to checking out all of the small critters, we also saw a gray whale, sea lions, and seals!

This place is beautiful, I would definitely suggest checking it out!! You could see the spouts of whales when looking over the ocean. What a beautiful place to be in the summer for sure!!

Shore Acres State Park
State park
Nature & Parks
Coastal views, formal gardens & trails at day-use park open till dusk daily; no dogs & parking fee.
A very nice state park. I was there on a calm wave day but the views were still tremendous. The sandstone and unique geology of the this area is on full display here. Some good came out of the 1929 economic crash which forced the sale of this property to the state as this place is too special for a private residence.
Numerous hiking trails leave the park from the north and south connecting with the Oregon Coast Trail. All of my hikes revealed great vistas. Once you tire of the view from above, there is a trail to Simpson beach from the back of the gardens. It is a sandy pocket beach on the south edge of the park which offers some more great views.
George Scott — Google review
Beautiful view. The botanical gatden is awesome. The flowers were in bloom the first time we went. Took my brother and his family the second time and my son and his family the third time. Can never get tired of the place.
If you hike down the beach it is worth it.
Oh by the way, buy the taffy... it is the best I've had here in the mainland. Hawaii is still number one for me.
Merla Hawkins — Google review
This is a must see experience, especially during winter months when there are decorations, lights, hot cider, cocoa. The park is amazing and the sound of the waves crashing makes it extra special.
Rachel Borunda Jones — Google review
Perched on a scenic bluff above the Pacific Ocean, Shore Acres Garden was built in 1910 as a private estate with luxurious gardens featuring trees, shrubs, and flowering plants brought from around the world aboard the sailing ships of pioneer lumberman and shipbuilder Louis J. Simpson. A beautiful place to stroll around on a sunny autumn afternoon. Still lots of flowers in bloom to see.
Pen Jennings — Google review
Shore Acres has so much beauty to see! From the botanical gardens that boast beautiful roses, rhododendron bushes blooming to the sky, tulips, and all kinds of greenery (you can even have a wedding there!), to Simpson beach were you can find seashells smaller than a fingernail! Even on a cloudy day when the water is murky, it is still quite beautiful. There are many trails along the coastline to hike as well. It is $5 to park inside ($1s or $5s only, no change given) but well worth it to catch glimpse of chipmunks, deer, and even bunnies!
Cassandra Staten — Google review
Wow, such an amazingly beautiful park ! Stunning views of the rock formations. Great trails to view ocean. The botanical garden is wonderful to wander and take in all the plant life. The Japanese garden area is so serene.
Suzanne Hutegger — Google review
Super easy to book online, parking was plentiful. Short walk to get to the venue itself. There are plenty of places to explore and hike. We went there specifically for the light festival which was amazing. Free hot cocoa and cider inside the historic home which you can explore. The walk wasn't bad at all once there and we saw plenty of people in wheelchairs. Service dogs are only allowed. The gift shop however was generic and expensive.
Angel Evans — Google review
This is one of my most favorite places to visit on the entire Oregon Coast. The gardens are spectacular in every season, most especially Spring and Summer. The views of the Pacific and the waves crashing onto the boulders and cliffs are always worth seeing, especially as the tide is coming in and also during big storms, just make certain to prepare by wear appropriate clothing and gear or it's going to be a miserable, soggy trip home.
April Morris — Google review
Shore Acres is an Oregon state park treasure. It’s a must see if you’re in the Coos Bay Area especially for gardeners or flower lovers. The best time to visit is in the late spring or summer when flowers are in bloom. It’s also worth a visit around Christmas to see the lights.
There is a lot of history to the grounds and you can learn from the sign posts or the staff giving presentations.
The photos of the grounds and plants speak for themselves. Outside of the gardens there is a viewing platform and a great view of the ocean.
Ryan Ebert — Google review
The lights are beautiful and fun. They have action lights of marine animals and other critters. I try and make it a point to go and visit for the weekend every year. I've been going for over 10 years and plan on continuing. The caretaker cottage is beautifully decorated. They offer a cookie and cider.
William Nachand — Google review
Beautiful and well kept.
We just spent some time walking around and did not use any facilities.
It was a long drive in.
It's a "been there done that" sort of place but nice to visit once.
Barb Simmons — Google review
In 1907 Louis Simpson began building his first mansion on the bluff as a Christmas present for his wife Cassie. In 1927, six years after Cassie Simpson died, Louis and his second wife gave the Cape Arago portion of the estate to the state of Oregon. In 1942 the Simpsons sold the remainder of the estate to Oregon for the development of a public park. The rock formations in the bluff is truly unique. Shore Acres garden is worked on by volunteers, what a gift! We visited at just the right time, where we can see the light green shade of new grass and new leaves, and the Rhododendrons and Azaleas are in full bloom. There are many paths to explore, the longest one goes to Sunset Beach. It was lovely to sit in the garden. In the UK, there would be a cafeteria where we can enjoy tea and elevenses. When I first discovered Shore Acres on Google, I had no idea we'd be able to spend such a lovely time walking around and exploring. This is going on our must visit list for next time.
No MSG No Garlic Foodie — Google review
Beautiful park with natural beauty. We drove through on our way to the viewpoint. We stopped at the gift shop that offered a wide variety of souvenirs and trinkets. The public restroom was available, but a fairly long walk from the gift shop itself. Not what one would call handicap accessible with the long walk on uneven sidewalks. Just up the road is viewpoint for watching sea lions and seals, as well as other wildlife and birds.
Donald Peck — Google review
This is a beautiful State Park where you can take in all the sights of the Pacific Ocean shoreline, relish in the serenity of the Siuslaw National Forest, Camp, Hike, capture amazing wildlife photos and more. They have amazing gardens with thousands of plants and trees from all over the world. They also have an impressive Christmas Light Display that is fun for all ages. I strongly recommend checking it out.

This place is great. The light displays were magnificent and very professionally done. About halfway through, they had hot cider and coffee and chocolate chip cookies. It was beautiful and a lot of fun

Shore Acres us beautiful in every season. My favorite is the holiday light display. It's a family friendly event with complimentary cookies and hot cider, hot coffee, and punch.
Their new reservation system helps alleviate overcrowding.
The light display is the highlight of our Christmas celebration.

We took the shuttle to the Holiday lights from the Charleston Marina because parking was sold out. It was free! So worth it. The lights were totally amazing this year! Thank you to all the people and sponsors who made it so amazing.

Wow! I saw seals, Sea lions, otters, and surfers. Made me jealous. The waves were absolutely humongous and the ocean was beautiful. The big spruce, firs and pines are amazing. Great place to spend time with your family and they even have a great Beach.

Just Beautiful!!!
Was there for The King Tide.
Would love to return in the future and see more of it.
If you're in the area, stop by. You won't be disappointed.
My family and I came out from WA state to experience n explore the Oregon Dunes @Spinreel for both my Sons Birthday. My family and I had such a great time and most definitely be back to experience it again.
We did the two hour tour. Our Tour Guide Wyat gave us an experience we will never forget. He was awesome and ensured we experienced and explored all the Dunes. It was beautiful and exciting climbing and going down the Dunes. Breath-taking ocean views. What a rush♡♡ thank you Spinreel and special thanks to Wyat for making this family Birthday trip my family will always remember ♡

Such an amazing place! I own group homes for adults with disabilities. I brought my clients to the area for vacation and thought it would be fun to take them to the dunes. They had a blast and the staff were so accommodating to my individuals. I would recommend this place to anyone. There is nothing like riding a dune buggy on the beach. Great place with truly unbelievable staff.

We came here on a Saturday at 1 and it was not too busy. The staff was super friendly and got us geared up to go! Two hours was a perfect amount of time for the two of us. The polaris razor had navigation for us to find our way back to the rental shop. We just wish we wore ear plugs. Since it was Easter, we found an egg and got some free ice cream! Super nice touch!
Holli Pruhsmeier — Google review
We had a blast doing this! We brought our dog along which was welcomed, but he probably would have preferred to stay home. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and informative about the area we would be exploring. These dunes are one of the greatest playgrounds in the world. The equipment was top shelf, grade A condition as well. The place runs like their well-oiled machines! A great family-owned business to spend an few hours with.

Highly recommend adding this place to your travel plans! We had the best time and this family owned and operated team was amazing. They even were nice enough to upgrade us to the turbo RZR. We can not say enough great things about them and the experience
Kelsey Prins — Google review
First and foremost, the people working at Spinreel were extremely nice. The man working behind the counter was super understanding and patient.
The beach was very fun and so were the dunes, even though we spent less time there. When I tipped over on the dunes, we called and they helped right away.
They made sure I was okay and safe before checking the vehicle and then helped us from there. It was a unique experience that I really enjoyed and would totally do again!!!
Elizabeth Levins — Google review
Me and one of my friends rented a 2 Seat RZR Turbo S for one hour and had so much fun! The employees have you watch a safety video first, they they look over the vehicle to make sure nothing is wrong with it before you take it out. If you encounter any issues during your rental, they give you contact information and a map to find your way back. I would 100% do this again if I’m ever in the area! Thanks Spinreel for a fun time!!!
Karen Kendzierski — Google review
WHAT A BLAST!! Spinreel was such a cool company to work with. Such a gem. Family owned and operated local spot that’s been there for decades. It’s directly across from paths leading to the dunes and the beach. Can’t get a better location, honestly. All the vehicles were full of gas, permitted and ready to go when we got there. Made such a cool experience very easy. They really go through the safety of the land features and make sure you’re aware of how best to navigate the landscape on your ATV / buggy and of any route closures/weather changes. You don’t need to have experience to have a good time. I didn’t have much practice on 4 wheelers and really enjoyed it! Plus they have the two-seater buggy’s for anyone who doesn’t want to drive the whole time or wants to go with a partner. Those are also more stable. They also have a ton of outerwear merch for sale if you need a sweatshirt or something (which you will, the windchill makes it pretty cold on the dunes even in summer!)
Hallie Walsh — Google review
I had an amazing experience here. All the employees were helpful and kind. They explained the terrains perfectly ,so we knew exactly where to go. The safety video was really informative as it was our first time on the dunes. The location is very close to the dunes which is ideal. They also had lots of options to choose from.

We rented a 4-seat RZR and did the Follow Me Tour. Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. He let us switch drivers when we wanted. We saw gorgeous scenery and had an awesome time. We were glad we did the Follow Me Tour rather than renting the equipment and going on our own. I don't think we would have gotten to see and do as much on our own as we did with a guide.

Safety first! There was enough information between emails, online and in-person orientations to make my head spin a little bit, but it all made sense once we got onto the trails and dunes. It wasn't cheap, but my family did a 2-hour self-guided excursion and had so much fun! The 4-seat, 1000cc Polaris RZR machine was plenty powerful but safe, sturdy, and had very good suspension so the bumpy trails were not bad at all. We spent more time driving on the beach than anything, and it was amazing! We spent about the last half hour on the dunes, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. If you're in the area, riding the coast and dunes in an ATV is a must!

We had a fantastic time on the ATV tour. So much fun and the guide was great! Just FYI, if you're prone to motion sickness, you may want to take something for it beforehand.
Discover the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, an ideal destination for off-roading and hiking enthusiasts. This stunning location boasts 40 miles of wind-shaped sand dunes and offers campgrounds for visitors to enjoy. Take time to explore this beautiful area before embarking on a scenic drive up the coast on Highway 101. For those seeking adventure, there's a challenging 4.
For a first time visitor, it is actually quite hard to find the dunes. We happened across the visitor center in Reedsport, after driving many miles South from Florence. The center was closed, but lo and behold an angel appeared from within and gave us suggestions and directions to two locations that were awesome. One to the South of Windy Bay and the other on the John Dellenback dunes trail. They offered different perspectives but we're both amazing in their own right.
Richard Hughes — Google review
There are so many activities that are offered here. One of my favorites is mushroom picking. You can pick up different types of permits to pick mushrooms or greens throughout the area. They offer maps and help you with locations as to where you might have the best luck to find what you are looking for. The staff is very knowledgeable of the area.

South Jetty - This was a fantastic area for me and my family in our Jeep to discover! Wide enough areas with many levels of dunes. I saw a lot of safe riding and it it was pretty empty for a summer Sunday.
I recommend bringing a map if it's your first time out cuz there's a lot of fingers to the dunes here. There were even areas to do some mudding! Be aware of the tide tables if you venture over the last dune onto the beach. Don't forget to air down and bring/mount your flag!
Malia Martin — Google review
The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area extends for 40 miles along the Oregon Coast. They run from Florence to Coos Bay. Bordering the Pacific Ocean, you can drive a dune buggy or quad bike on the beach as well as the sand dunes. We had a blast riding up and down the dunes before heading to the beach to cool down. Woo hoo! A great day if you're looking for an adventure 😀
Pen Jennings — Google review
Beautiful place to spend some time. The large loop trail 4.5 miles is quite strenuous since most of it is through soft sand. Near the sign in station a 1 mile gentle grade firm trail goes down to dune level. It has lovely picknic tables with amazing views.

Just wish when it's busy that most people would realize it's better to ride to the right of the main road from bull run to spin reel and again on the road to the right of the main oe on the way back. There could be less head on collisions if people could ride this way more often. Lots of area to ride!

This great expanse of dunes and beach is a prestine wilderness. At least when we went in early autumn. Cold and windy. The scenery of these massive dunes (climbing some 60 feet) with the beach and sea below is a spectacle.

We visited two sections of the sand dunes from Florence OR, make sure you pick up a map upon entering. Great place to get some steps in and view these massive sand dunes. You can rent vehicles from an outside company to ride thru the dunes if desired. I just enjoyed the nature trails and flowers along the way! Bathrooms and steps are in good condition. Great parking, they do check your car for a paid pass. Dont be cheap and end up paying a fine. Its a park, do the right thing..

Ya gotta like sand and a lot of it. Not a ocean beach scene but great dunes sweeping down to fresh water lakes. A unique region of the Oregon Coast to be sure.
I love this place... They always have the cutest seasonal decorations. I can always find a gift here, not to mention their chocolates & treats are delicious! Plus at check out they give you little samples in your bag.
The people there are always so friendly and helpful as well. Makes for a pleasant shopping trip!

Always stop in whenever we're in town! Love the variety & the employees are always so friendly & helpful! Love getting the bags of "trim" - they're a bargain compared to the same product in a gift box! Also love all the samples so you can try a flavor before committing to buying something. While checking out, I was asked if these were gifts when I said "yes", she promptly wrapped my purchases! It's that extra touch that keeps me coming back!

Hands down one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met working here. When I walked in I was immediately met by a very friendly Peruvian woman. We talked about how the candy was made, our pasts, and all sorts of things for some time. I loved the samples and if there was something I wished to try that had no sample- she would open one so I could try it. I ended up spending more money than I had planned, bit it was absolutely worth it!

They do give pre packaged samples at check out though.
Love this place. I'm from Eugene and I visit every time I'm in the area.
Chocolate lovers paradise!

Our little group spent roughly 30 minutes in here! (And about $150 between two couples!)
We bought so much candy and also some soaps and a card by a local artist. They had an abundance of samples out for us to try which definitely influenced how much we bought lol. I would absolutely consider ordering online in the future! It was that good.

There were a lot of tasty treats to choose from. Plenty of options from taffy to chocolate and jelly beans. I think everyone in the family could find something to enjoy. The production is right in back of the store. It would be fun to see them work through the windows but we went in on Sunday when they weren't making anything.

The Bandon South Jetty Park is a magnificent coastal park in Oregon that offers breathtaking views of the ocean and rocky beachfront. The park boasts an old town charm and the delightful taste and aroma of fresh seafood. Visitors can enjoy walking along the beaches, hunting for shells or rocks, or simply relaxing and watching the sunset. One of the best sights ever on the coast, it is highly recommended as an exceptional place to visit.
One of many great beach access points. For such a small town, Bandon has some of greatest beaches on the Oregon coast. It’s a nice place to see the merge of wildlife between fresh and saltwater at the mouth of the Coquille River. Catch a sunset here or just sit back and watch the tide roll up the river, you can’t go wrong.

Like all the beaches around here, simply stunning. Nice restrooms with outdoor shower for cleaning off sand. Lots of beautifully colored, polished pebbles in tide lines. Watch the tides coming in, up to 10 feet of difference between low and high and the occasional sleeper wave.

Nice spot to go for a walk on the beach. Nice restrooms. Not too crowded while we were there on day before new year day.

We went to Bandon Oregon to celebrate a birthday, and relax. With all my heart, I would recommend Bandon as an exceptional place to visit. The charm of the old town, the smell and taste of the ocean. The views...! The beaches are fun to walk, rock and shell hound, or just sit and relax, watching the sunset. "Look for the starfish!" The food was so fresh and delicious Evey place we ate. We Will be back. Thank you Bandon!

Love the peace and beauty of Bandon, OR. Had a great lunch at Bandon Fish Market, walked downtown and visited cute shops then over to the Boardwalk. We also took a short drive through some of the neighborhoods where we ended up viewing the beautiful rocks and crashing waves. It was a perfect day!! 👍❤

Very good place to take the dog for a walk, or look for aggets. they have tables ,and even a foot wash station so you can wash your feet or water your dog. A very good spot for agates though. I always meet friendly people, and you can't beat the scenery. All in all it's just a beautiful place. When the sun comes up and when it goes down.

This is a really cool old lighthouse that you can still go into. You can walk all the way out on a nice day to the end, but I wouldn't recommend it on days that are stormy. This is from the other side. Nice restrooms by the beach parking lots or beach access in Oregon. Unlike California...

Easy access to a beautiful beach view. Actually getting to the sand can be tricky at times because of logs and such but the view even from the car is fantastic. Do be careful of sneaker waves--never turn your back on the ocean.

Bandon is not the prettiest beach in Oregon but it's still cool. There are lots of rock formations. There are also interesting rocks to be found here at low tide. This particular entrance is nice because there are no stairs. My mom is really old and can't manage high beach accesses with a hike down.

Such a great little jetty, great views of the lighthouse, fished there about an hour! Few good bites I missed, one came off in the surf, the other was a little nautilus! If you’re nearby, come explore!

This is a must stop.
Get some lunch to go from the pier or coffee and come enjoy the view, sound, and have a walk on the beach.
Even when it's covered by sea fog. It's a wonderful place.
Just remember. Never turn you back on the Ocean, it may come up and say hi.
While you are looking at that pretty rock.
Small waterfront park with picnic tables, beach access & views of landmark sea stacks.
Beautiful beach that is quite long for a walk or run. Almost all the sand is smooth wet sand so it is hard and you can wear shoes. The rock formations are very cool. It is best to go at low tide and see all the tide pools and creatures around the bottom of the rocks. One of the most beautiful beaches I have been on.
Kevin M — Google review
Face rock is the most bizarre and incredible rock formation I’ve seen on the Oregon coast. This viewpoint is sweeping and breathtaking. There are pit toilet bathrooms which are accessible. The parking is small and can fill up. There’s a trail down the bluff to the beach below. It’s steep but not unmanageable. One down on the sand, you can walk in both directions right along the rock formations. Sometimes the wind can make the blowing sand miserable. Still, this is a must see place on the Oregon coast.
Laurel Hoffman — Google review
A favorite spot on the coast to watch the waves crash against the sea stacks. Hope you can find "face rock". She's looking up and pointed to the right. It's also fun to watch the sand art from above if you happen upon that particular weekend.
Melissa Jones — Google review
Beautiful and easily accessible spot for viewing all the named sea stacks and beach below. There's a staircase that goes down to the beach itself. It was extremely windy the day we were there, so there was sand basically sandblasting everyone even up on the cliff above the beach. The wind was actually a little better down on the beach and there was less sand pelting us down there. Nice spot though.
Jennifer Anne — Google review
A fantastic little spot! The views were incredible, the beach access was easy to navigate and it was very clean. We especially loved seeing the rainbow colored rocks and will research more on the geology.

Absolutely stunning. Bring sunglasses or regular glasses, eye protection of some sort and wrap up your hair in a hoodie or something. There is a lot of sand that blows about as it is very windy and without eye protection it can be difficult to enjoy the beautiful views from the beach. Sunglasses definitely made it more enjoyable. Our daughter has longer hair and a ponytail was not enough, she had to wrap her hair in her hood so that she could see. We had a kite with us and it was so fun. The plastic kites will shred here. We had a nice, durable fabric kite to play in the wind with and it was a very nice time. This is a beautiful place. A must see.

Honestly my favorite Oregon coast! So many amazing views/rocks/rock formations/sea caves. You can walk the whole beach on the coast line. They even have a trail above it so you can see it up high. You can walk to other scenic points too! I got to see lots of different kinds of birds and best of all, sea lions!! The color on the rocks and the different types are amazing too! I can’t believe I’ve never heard or been here before

Great spot to explore with kids or dogs! You can admire the view from above, or take the steps down the the beach. When the tide is low, you can get to a lot more. It was super windy, but sunny and fun to explore the caves and dunes.

An absolutely gorgeous location that is a must to stop by and check out, you won't regret it. The face rock is really something else when you see it in person.

This was a fantastic stop. A little off the main road but absolutely worth it. Go down the stairs and explore. With any luck, the tide will be right and there will be an awesome labyrinth drawn in the sand. Also check out the caves!

Worth visiting at least once.
Pay attention to holes in caves, there’s crabs and stuff :)

This beach is one we hit daily when we visit Bandon. The rocks are interesting, there are tons of shells, agates, sea glass, and interesting collectibles to be had. During low tide there are really good tidepools, and ocean animals like seals, murres, crabs, and gaper clams. The access area at the top has restrooms and parking, with a nice set of stairs down the cliff.
Rebecca Freeman — Google review
The special thing about this beach is that during the summer if low tide is between 6:00 and 10:00 AM a local group of artists create a huge, extremely creative labyrinth. Takes at least 40 minutes to walk. Different every time. Popular, so they have a shuttle from a nearby park, use it! Of course the beach and rocks are the usual stunningly beautiful.
Picturesque red-and-white lighthouse dating to 1896, open for visits during summer months.
It’s a nice drive to get there and a peaceful scenic walk up to and around the lighthouse with great views of the river, ocean and wildlife and a different perspective of Bandon.
Caleb Murphy — Google review
Coquille River light is a small historic lighthouse that traditionally guided ships in the night. It’s not the huge, towering lighthouse like Yaquina Bay or Heceta Head, buts it’s interesting nonetheless. The park and beach access makes a good stop to stretch your legs from a long drive.
Kevin — Google review
I'm visiting from Illinois and this was a nice little drive after being down on the beach earlier in Bandon. The lighthouse has an interesting story, and the view from this side of the river was really nice. It was windy, but at least the sun was out while I was there.
The lighthouse does do a tour, but I'm here during the off season so no tours yet. I'm sure if you are interested you can look up the website and it will give more information.
Be aware, if the tide is in and if there is any type of storm, don't go climbing around this area, it can be dangerous. There are signs posted to also stay off the jetty.
PS: if you are a geocacher there are some in and around Bandon.

My partner and I visited in the summer of 2021 and visiting the lighthouse was an amazing experience. So much enriching history.

I'm such a big fan of lighthouses. This is a nice little drive from hwy101 north of Bandon. This is one of the easiest access to a lighthouse I've come across on the coast. You drive right up to the parking area and just a very short walk you're there. Beautiful surroundings with wonderful views. If you're visiting the town of Bandon, this is one of the must do items.
Davin — Google review
It's a fair little drive off the main road to get here and phone reception is not the best. The lighthouse itself is okay but it's accessessable down to the beach (maybe not for elderly or disabled though as far as I can tell) and you can walk down the pier. You can really feel the power of the ocean here and it's a great view
Jimmy H — Google review
The lighthouse was very cute. There is a small visitor's center inside. You cannot climb up the tower but you can look up it through a gate. I know you can't control the weather but it is in a very windy location so if you try to walk out towards the beach, prepare for a lot of sand in your face. We were covered when we left. It is still beautiful but just plan accordingly.

Really wanted to get some good Drone pics but it was way to windy I'll get some better pics next time but this is a fun spot to stop care full at the end of the jetty it is very slippery, definitely read the history I find that stuff cool, I almost didn't visit this one cuz it's so far south, but it has interesting historical relevance. The beach is nice, It seems to have a decent amount of drift wood heavy logs, and debris might have been the time of year. I'll dbl check when I drive the coast this summer. Some rolling style dunes so good hike to run a puppy on

It was too dangerous to get across all the logs and driftwood to try to walk on the beach.
Laid-back budget hotel with relaxed rooms & suites, plus a gym, a hot tub & free breakfast.
We stayed for just one night and it was great. The room was spacious and clean. I'm so glad the jacuzzi was open. It was so relaxing. Breakfast was good. We'll definitely stay here again and hopefully for more than one night. Thank you

First impressions matter. We arrived at 4:00 after driving all day and were told the room wasn’t ready and to come back in 30-60 min. Not a good start. Then we asked for extra pillows and we’re told there were none . Really, in the whole hotel, no extra pillows ? Anyway they did find us some pillows, so things were looking up. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. You have to walk outside to get to the breakfast room which Is fine if the weather cooperates. Location is good. It’s in a parking lot with a cinema , Dollar Tree and a quick walk to Safeway. If you have lots of luggage ask for a room you can park in front of, because there are no luggage carts available

I never stayed here before but the section I stayed had a rustic feel. The rooms clean, cozy, and organized. Good water pressure! The only issue I noticed was the toilet was getting loose and needed a shim, but no ill effect from the issue. I liked the place and would stay here again. I arrived Friday night around 7pm after a long drive. I appreciated the front desk persons good attitude and efficiency. He had a very good attitude.

It was a really nice stay and the front desk had great food suggestions for the local restaurants. This was the nicest quality inn I have stayed at and the beds were super comfortable. Unfortunately their hot tub didn't work when we stayed, but their breakfast had a great selection. Nice artwork in the rooms too. Also great courtyards for kids to play in.

Disappointing overnight stay (with a reservation) while motorcycle touring through the area. Had to quickly change rooms due to soiled walls in the initial room. Second room was marginally better. Overall, the facilities are in need of a thorough cleaning, updates & renovations. Our prior experiences with Quality Inn franchises have been very good; this one needs some attention.

I'm a travel agent. We booked this just as a passing through town option . I usually book middle of the road options but I'm traveling with my husband -let's just say we compromised for this place. The lobby is unexpectedly nice and the exterior of the hotel looked nice as well. We checked in and drove down to our room. With two kids luggage to our room was easy as we parked almost right outside of our room. The downfall was the key cards seemed over used and they never worked on the first 10-15 swipes. The room was okay nothing fancy but just as I expected. The hotel was next to Ross, the Human Bean and a variety of restaurants and stores. The included breakfast is great if you like waffles but the eggs seemed very fake and the sausages looked greenish. They did have cereal and bagels but I wouldn't book the room for the free breakfast.

I always wonder about owners of franchise hotels. It must be very difficult to find people who are reasonably priced to work on basic upkeep. The service at the Quality Inn was good. Brook, Sara, and Jai were polite and helpful. The price per night was good. I didn't make it to breakfast even though we were there 2 days and nights, so I can't comment on that. I felt the room was a bit on the small side. Tight for 2 people, but what the heck, I've stayed in smaller rooms all over Europe. The beds were comfortable and very clean, as were the sheets and pillows. The TV worked. The tiny bath had a good working shower. There is some deferred maintainance and very dated fixtures in the room. IMO, the decor was non-existent. No real issues though. Inexpensive and clean.
Scott Palmerton — Google review
The hotel is great for weekend getaways to the coast. My wife and I have been here 3 times and each time the service and rooms are great. There is lots of green space for our service dogs to be comfortable running around. The rooms are clean in our experience. The breakfast is quite good. This last visit saw only a few guests staying, but the breakfast was just as it is when the place is full. The location is great in respect to access to things in the area. All in all, it is a comfortable consistently clean place. It has become our go to in the Coos Bay area.

We were planning on staying at a different hotel nearby which, we didnt know was not a good place to stay. When they said they were full even though we had reservations i gave this place a call. They were super friendly and very understanding of our situation. Brook checked us in and suggested some places to check out, which we did and loved. I was grateful they had rooms available and very grateful for Brook! Thanks again.

The rooms are definitely old but they are pretty clean overall. This is set up more like a motel than a hotel with exterior hallways right to the doors. Overall, the service was great and the breakfast was a standard continental setup. I will say the TV was considerably smaller than I would have thought for a king suite.
Brian Babcock — Google review
The rooms were great, and the free breakfast was the best to note: cinnamon or classic waffles, bagels, eggs and sausage and, the king of it all, tabasco. Great place to stay. My only dislike was my uncomfortable experience with the beds. The television was relatively small for the distance of the beds to the screen. However, I was overall pleased with my stay and will take into account my experience here if I come by again.
Bennett Vaterlaus — Google review
We checked in (the staff proudly told us our room had been recently renovated with new flooring about 5 months ago) and then we explored the North Bend/Coos Bay area. When we returned after dinner we were extremely upset. We saw mold in the shower, dirty walls, dirty doors and the new floor was filthy. Please see the attached pictures to support what we experienced. This town had many independent properties, and we selected this Quality Inn property based on their reputation and their quality guidelines. By the time we returned to the property it was too late to find another option. We didn’t use the shower and had to wear socks - the only positive I can say was the bed was comfortable. I will be contacting corporate to share my concerns.

I booked two room through a booking agency. An hour before our arrival authorities closed HWY101 due to a fire. I contacted the booking agency and Quality Inn whom told me to be in contact with them and let them know by 9:00pm if I was not going to make it so they could book the room, giving me a higher probability of getting my money back.
At 8:50pm I called and explained that the road was still closed. Around 10pm I called back because the road was opened. I asked if my rooms were still available, the representative informed me that they had been booked. I asked them if I would get my refund and they told me I would have to talk to the manager. I spoke to the manager and she would not allow a refund. I asked her why I wouldn't get my refund back if they booked the room (recovering the revenue) and I was not given access to the rooms. She told me she was not authorized to give refunds, that I had to call their corporate office or my booking agency. I told her I had the booking agency in three way and that the booking agency no longer had my money. She told me she was busy and needed to get off the phone. Today I called the corporate office and they told me that the hotel manager is the one that is authorized to give refunds.
I called my bank and filed a fraud claim. The hotel made twice the revenue on these two room and refused to refund my money. They were misleading in telling me that if I cancelled by 9:00pm I'd have higher probabilities of getting my money back. They were rude and misleading. This trip was to celebrate my graduation from an MBA program and instead I got ripped off $400 and was obligated to drive 16 hours in a car with a 1 month and 1 year old baby. Quality Inn put my family in harms way by acting unprofessional and unethically.

I called and asked about the hot tub, and honestly, that's the reason I chose to stay here. I was assured it was working. After checking in, I was told it's broken. What a scam!!! I took a shower and the fire alarm kept going off and maintenence came in while I was in a towel and removed the alarm completely. He said he would bring a new one but never did. I asked for bottom floor due to health issues and was told we would be on the bottom floor but upon check in, we were booked on the top floor. I was told basically it is what it is. I will never book here again and was extremely disappointed.
Haley Welch — Google review
I wasn’t expecting a whole lot based on the pricepoint as we only needed a clean place to spend the night. Upon arrival the room had a very strong musky smell and toilet didn’t flush. The smell was bad but probably would have made it work if the toilet flushed.
Returned to front desk and receptionist was kind and understanding and offered us another room. Door to second room wouldn’t open, so returned for new keys to try again. Still wouldn’t open.
Reception apologized again, but didn’t offer any other solution and suggested we reach out to manager the next day about a refund. We left and found another place to stay.
After several calls, I was told the Manager denied a refund for a stay we didn’t make.
Maybe you will have better luck than we did, but can’t recommend this hotel.

It’s a beautiful campground in the early to mid-summer and early fall. It will be wet and windy in the winter. Don’t miss this fall foliage on the ground. Great hiking trail along the coast. Lots of access to the beach areas as well. Hiking distance to an historic farm and to the iconic lighthouse.
No to RV‘ers: the dump station is closed and has been for several years due to a system failure. COVID-19 shut the funding back as well. Plan accordingly.

Landmark, whitewashed lighthouse offering history tours, sweeping ocean views & a gift shop.
My new favorite lighthouse. Absolutely beautiful and the best outlook of the surrounding cliffs and beaches.
Audrey Gardner — Google review
If doing a drive up the West Coat of the US, lighthouses should be on your list of places to stop. Each lighthouse is unique as well as shares a lot of history in the area. Cape Blanco lighthouse is one of the smaller lighthouses on the coast but still is amazing to visit. One of the trends of West Coast lighthouse is the white and red color scheme. Not sure if this was intentional but next time, we visit I am going to have to ask. The staff and tour when offered is great. The bluff overlook of the coast offers some great picture opportunities and if lucky can see some dolphins playing in the surf.
Adam Cook — Google review
One of the highlights of our West Coast Road trip. Plan a good hour here to enjoy the sights (and wind). Majestic views and a great hike up or down the hills. Great place for your pooch to roam as well. The lighthouse was closed when we got here in March but it was definitely still worth the drive and climb.

What a beautiful area. was really bummed to get here and see that there were no tours I would have left to take the kids on a tour. We've never been inside a real lighthouse as a family before. Oh well just gives a reason to come back here again eventually. The weather was perfect today. The sun is shining the wind was still, couldn't have picked a better day to be up here on the bluff.

I recommend this place.
Even though it's not permitted to go up the lighthouse any more, going inside it's still aloud with the tour person. is so worth it to check it out. The ocean and the rock formations here are espectacular and the guided tour for one of the local volunteers was and added a lot more to it visit and the history of the place.

The lighthouse was closed when we stopped by - Tuesday. It was still worth a visit. The view is beautiful and the trail down to the beach was 10 minutes each way. Worth the trip! There are at least 2 other trails with lovely views - didn’t take them. There was a clean portapotty at the turnout for the historic house.

Very cool place to visit. I had hoped to go inside but, nope. Not enough staff. Fun gift store and Levi, the steward, was very informative.

This lighthouse is absolutely beautiful, and worth the drive. The tours are just 2 dollars, and the docent is an absolute treasure who clearly adores the local history. It was very educational and picturesque. They can't let people up into the tower because of deteriorating masonry, and the road leading to the house is damaged so the last 1/4th mile has to be walked. The walk is very hilly, so it would be difficult for a mobility challenged person.
TI am very happy we made the decision to stop here!

Beautiful views from here. We wanted to get over to the lighthouse but the wind was blowing so hard, it was difficult to walk. Would love to go back and see it up close!

Foggy day but very cool! The path to the lighthouse is longer than Google Maps says as you can't drive that close to it, but still a cool experience. Didn't do the tour due to timing but it sounded like a fun experience! Plus I got my second lighthouse stamp!

I stopped by here briefly and took in the view but did not walk out to the lighthouse. The paved path to the lighthouse is mostly uphill and about a half mile from the parking lot. The lighthouse may or may not be open so check the signs before deciding to walk. Beautiful coastline here.

Excellent visit! Good tour (although you can no longer go up to the light). It's a bit of a hike due to road damage. A must see.
21-acre walk-through zoo with Bengal tigers, snow leopards, capybara, emus & a petting area.
Wow. They have so many animals! This is actually a pretty neat experience! The animals are so beautiful. The animals are close up, so you don’t need to try to find them like at other zoos, and they have a neat experience where you can even learn about and pet certain animals they bring out during their show and tells! Definitely a fun experience! We came by this place by accident, and glad we stopped by! The staff are really knowledgeable and very kind as well.

The ANIMALS were amazing. And the STAFF was super friendly and GREAT. But... The condition of the park was SO sad... The tigers cage had a snapping electric fence wire, I'm pretty sure the electric wire on the Lions cages were actually dead. The poor elk had absolutely no grass to eat... And ALL the animals cages needed a SERIOUS cleaning... It was SO depressing...

I looked forward to the experience… but honestly the animals looked really sad. And some looked like they were way too skinny. I love walking around the deer… that’s was cool. I don’t think some of the animals have enough space to live well and have an active life. The park does allow you to pet small animals with supervision (that you would normally not encounter). The staff appeared to be knowledgeable.

We found the flyer at a hotel, though it would be fun to stop on our way up to Depot Bay. LOTS of goats to feed. But fun. We must have hit nap time. Most of the animals were not out to see.

The staff were knowledgeable and friendly for the most part. Seems like the park is underfunded. A lot of the enclosures seem to be the originals from the 50s. Dilapidated for sure. None of the animals look happy. It's a cool place to stop if you like seeing depressed animals, or if you have kids. The kids won't notice.

Was really fun! The staff is really nice. We came to see the capybaras. Very cute! Just be careful for the goats if you have food😅 They have a lot of animals that you can feed and the bears will do tricks for some food. Really cute and fun overall!

We had a great time yesterday at the Safari Park. I could have stayed and interacted with this beautiful 4 month old Jaguar and 5 month old brown bear all day! The handlers are very educated and have extensive knowledge of the animals. The memories and pictures are worth the price. I have been here atleast 5 times and its great. The animals are NOT pacing in their enclosures like I have seen at other zoos in California. They seem peaceful. You always see the workers involved and cleaning out their habitats. Take your family here for a unique experience.
Mindy Peppers — Google review
I do not recommend visiting. Most of the signs for the animals are so faded and worn that you can not read the information. Many of the animal enclosures are empty. The prices on the website are outdated. The senior price was $21.50 plus a $2.00 processing fee. Not worth the money. Go to the Wildlife Safari in Winston, OR. The best part was listening to the male lion grunt and learning about the black Jagurier.

The Assistants were nice. The Manager was rude. So rude that in a random conversation the next day an 8yr old happened to mention "the lady that was rude".. The animal's are in small pens; not a roaming preserve.; there is no room for them to run. Animals that are prey are in sights of predators. The signs were outdated, faded, and unreadable.
I know it is difficult to care for these animals, year long, and to get help with adequate trained staff. This place needs help.
Mark Schaffner — Google review
I don’t understand the bad reviews. My family had a great time! Employees were very attentive to the animals and seemed to really love them. We watched as one of the camel babies was loving on one of the employees. It was really sweet. They all seem to love their job. The park was clean in my opinion. There are numerous goats and deer that walk with you through the park which was such a great experience. So the droppings were expected. The price I thought was very fair considering that the money goes straight to the animals and to maintain the park. Overall I thought this was such a fun experience and would return 100 percent if we pass thru the area again!

Absolutely disgusted with this place. It was filthy. All the animals living conditions were horrifying. You had a monkey with a tumor and sores all over his butt. The big cats were nothing but skin and bone. It was extremely sad. And I would never recommend to go here especially if you love animals it will just make you turn them in for animal abuse.

This place needs funding! Send people! The animals look in poor shape. But the staff was extremely friendly, however, seemed understaffed. Getting to pet the nursery animals was awesome. Their prices have risen significantly since I went there years ago when it was booming with people. When we went it seemed like we had the whole zoo to ourselves this time.

We've come here a couple times, and enjoyed it each time. Love the personal interaction with the animals. There was a monkey there that was hilarious when we went. He had a hose, and would hide, then jump out and spray people with it, then acted like he was laughing. 😆Our kids loved it.

Nice little area. The walk down that we took was on rocks so it wasn't easy on the feet. There's a big hill at the end on that route that you can climb but it looked a bit steep. My boyfriend went up and said there's a grave up there.

This scenic historic Rock invites youth to climb it. You can enjoy the beautiful beach nearby for a long walk too. The parking lot museum and information center tells of a great occurrence between settlers and native Americans at the Rock.
Coastline park offering equipped sites to campers, including hikers, windsurfers & scuba divers.
This small state park has a nice beach that is only accessible from the park, so it’s not crowded. The campground has many sites long enough for medium length trailers, and maybe almost half have water and electricity.
We are camping in February, so the loop of sites closer to the beach is closed, but if you don’t want to walk that far, you can drive to that loop and park by the short trail to the beach. This morning we walked from site #9 in the loop farther from the beach to the beach and down to the North end where the beach is covered in rocks. The distance there and back was 2.5 miles. I’d guess it’s not even .5 mile to the beach.
At the end of the trail where you arrive at the beach the trail drops about 14” so you have two steep steps to take on eroded sandstone and loose sand. A bit tricky for those of us who don’t have sure footing. But it’s only that one place.
Verizon cell service is decent. We are having no trouble sending pics in texts and posting to Facebook in the campground and on the beach.
Nancy Samuels — Google review
It's a really nice park. Lots of great trails, close to the beach, well shaded most of the time, well maintained, the bathrooms always looked nice, the rangers and other staff were all friendly. Would happily stay there again! I guess some people didn't realize it's close to the road. The park is directly off of hwy101. There will be traffic noise, there will be loud diesel trucks, there will be wind. Please do not be surprised or disappointed by this thinking it wouldn't be there for some reason. They do have a bit of a stellar jay problem but they have a lot of other cute wildlife we did enjoy. I would recommend this park to any outdoorsy type people. Those with children, their junior ranger program is lacking to nonexistent compared to other state parks we have visited but talking to the rangers there, they do plan on expanding and revamping the program services they provide there so it may be better when you go. It was still a very nice park and would happily stay there again!

Definitely one of our amazing discoveries found along our route! The trail at the lower loop of the campground will give you access to a private beach where a fresh water stream meets the ocean.
You’ll find plenty of driftwood and unique rocks. We stopped after a rainstorm in early November and the temp couldn’t have been more perfect. 60 degrees and no wind.
What beauty! Definitely a stop worth making!!

Air is crisp and fresh. Situated near the highway so sounds of vehicles passing by can be heard at most times. The RV sites are well spaced with plenty of privacy. AT&T phone signal has 2 to 3 bars. It depends on which site you are. Fantastic place to stay. Will come back again.

The trail was steeper and harder to do at my age. It is hard to do if you are not in shape.
There are a few trees on the trail that have fallen over you have to traverse.
There is no view unless you get passed 3/4 of a mile.
My Sister called me during the hike. I sat on the bench and talked to her. Surprised I still had Internet.
After talking with her my body was tightening up and my stomach hurt..so I headed back down.
I had my 12 year old Black Lab with me to think of. His hips hurt him from the steep hike. There were fresh water streams going over the trail. So Dakota was able to keep hydrated.
I wish I would have done the hike when I was younger. I have seen pictures of the incredible views from the crest. But 3 miles straight up was too hard for me and my dog
William Masters — Google review
Definitely one of our favorite State Park Campgrounds! Host Volunteers and Rangers take good care of this park. Fresh berry picking all over, firewood for sale daily at just $5 a bundle and great trails nearby! There's a short trail with direct access to a small/private beach off of the lower loop of the campground. The brush creek runs into the ocean so you have your choice of both fresh and salt water to enjoy. The only downside that we saw was that this beach and campground (especially the lower loop) can get really windy! The lower loop is definitely more busy and populated than the upper loop. Rangers patrol the campground well, so campers seemed to be more respectful than other parks we've been to. Definitely a stop worth making!!

Best kept campground in Oregon. The volunteers were totally on top of the place. Clean restroom and shower. Even raked each campsite when people checked out. Great walk to beach. Gorgeous place. Heavy mist and fog gave it eerie feel one day.

I wanted to camp last minute over the Fourth of July weekend and Humbug had a site. I drove down from Portland and spent two nights there. The camp was clean and well maintained. I stayed in a tent site without electric. It was inexpensive. It was a bit close to neighbors without too much brush in between but everyone was respectful. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. The showers were hot, which was good! The volunteers were friendly and helpful. I took a couple small trails (Amphitheater) and Fern and they were worthwhile. Fern had a few rough spots but the views were great! I didn’t want to climb Humbug Mountain so I’m glad I had other opportunities. The walk to the beach was not too far and the beach itself was very cozy, since really only visitors to the campground were there. I saw seals in the late afternoon and evening. During the day it was super relaxing just to hang out there. Very soft sand (which made walking a bit effortful) but made lounging very comfortable. Oregon has many nice state parks and this is certainly one of them!

We love Humbug. Every year we stay here for 3-4 nights on our RV trip in June/August. So many memories have been made at this small coastal park.
The campground has RV sites with water/electricity and a very clean dump site. RV sites along the mountainside are great and even have trail access. The restrooms are clean, maintained and with large, family restroom/showers. Hot water too.
Our family loves the beach access from the campground. It's literally a 5-minute walk to a gorgeous beach and you can even do a bit of river/creek walking along the way. You might see some whales along the coastline here!
The Junior-Ranger program is so much fun for kids. Ranger-led hikes are also available. We loved the Fern Trail hike and discovering the vegetation along the way. Humbug trail is a fairly strenuous hike but it's on our list for the kids to do!!
The campground is bike-friendly and there is a large meadow to play in. We keep coming back to Humbug and you should give it try, highly recommended!

Easy access to a cute little beach, though much of it was inaccessible during high tide without wading a very deep creek (above the knees). I love hiking the challenging trail up Humbug Mountain. This trip I discovered the section of old coast highway above the campground that also made for a nice hike.
I was able to walk on to a campsite without a reservation on a sunny Saturday in May.

We stayed just one night here on a road trip but were very impressed. The campsites and bathrooms were very clean and the Park Rangers Alec and Heather were wonderful. Right after we left they even called us to let us know an expensive item had been left behind, thankfully it wasn’t ours but we were impressed with how thoughtful and thorough their care of the State Park is!
The lower loop is fairly close to the road and you do hear the cars driving by, but it wasn’t to loud at night and it was worth it to be closer to the beach access.

Nice little camp site with a short walk to beach access. The sites that are for Rv are pretty open so more of a community area in the middle. The camp ground was very dog friendly with lots of people their pets. The road was in good shape and the park was kept very clean.
Remote wilderness site with canyons & 100-ft. waterfalls, hiking trails & a small picnic area.
One of my favorites to visit. Feels remote. The rainforest jungle vibes are incredibly strong. Dirt road to get to the falls is worthwhile. All three hikes are incredible. I love Oregon so much and I’ll definitely visit this spot time and time again
GameBert — Google review
We came early on a Saturday in late March after a rainstorm and the waterfalls were powerful and huge! Only a few other groups during this time. There are some beautiful flowers starting to pop up. I definitely recommend bringing shoes you are ok with getting muddy since there are some pretty wet sections on the trail. Be careful of slippery rocks as well. Amazing views and great experience! I would say hiking these sections is moderate to hard in some parts with fallen trees to climb over and careful footwork over slippery rocks depending on where you go.
Holli Pruhsmeier — Google review
After reading reviews, we were hesitant to take the drive to these falls. There was mention of 8 miles of gravel road with potholes that leads to the trail heads. But go we did. Turns out it is 5 miles of gravel road with the aforementioned potholes. Very slow going and dusty. It took over an hour to drive from Coos Bay. Which would have been okay if the falls were overly impressive which unfortunately they weren’t. It has been very dry so there was very little water in the falls. There are massive rocks that the falls trickle over. If you want to get a little closer to the falls you will need to climb over fallen rocks. The trails need maintenance as the brush is intruding and parts of the trail are crumbling away. The area has a jungle like feeling with all the trees, ferns and other greenery. There are three trails. One to Silver Falls, one to the bottom of Golden Falls, and one closer to the tops of the falls. We hiked all three and it took about 1 ½ hours. There are restrooms at the trail head, and an information stand. Personally, I would skip it unless the falls were full of water. Not worth getting the car dirty and challenging the suspension!

These Waterfalls are worth it.
To go to Silver falls I'd recommend out and back on the trail to the left of the lot, we really couldn't find a good way across the falls as the rocks are slick and a lot of steep areas, and didn't want to walk directly under the falls and be wet all day. Bring Bug spray, a good deal of mosquitoes at 2pm.
Golden falls is out and back easy fairly flat trail to spectacular falls.
Getting there: Drive to the end of Oregon 241, once you hit mile marker 19 you will start gravel roads for ~5 miles, only a few potholes but the road is narrow. Can do it in a car but make sure you have good tires, a small to mid sized SUV or truck recommended, not camper or oversized load friendly.
Brittany Rupert — Google review
Beautiful and Prehistoric feel- worth the drive from any location. Easy to moderate hike on a loop around 3 waterfalls with the parking area/restrooms(wells)at center of the three.
Around the waterfalls the hiking gets progressively more difficult (wet/steep)if seeking better or closer views.

The dirt road wasn't bad at all. The last of the one lane had some potholes but I made it fine in my Corolla. These 3 falls are one of a kind! Highly recommended checking them out! Some of the trail you have to maneuver a bit but not a bad hike to see them all!

It was such a nice and clean park, with beautiful creek and picnic tables and all. A very family friendly place!

Interesting set up. Not much of a place to enjoy wine if you visit during a rainy week day. Which seems to most days in roseburg.
The son gives you a wealth of knowledge and history of wines to his degree. Spent enough to be comparable to a group of 4, but alone. Was hurried out of there because I was inquiring too much about wines and having a conversation with the son by the mom.
The dad gave superb service to the group. But if you go in as one person, might not be received as well.

Recently my wife and I visited the Hillcrest winery and learned what "dry farming" was. The owner though she was busy (the only person working) took the time to answer our questions and share the history of Hillcrest. This is the oldest Estate Winery in Oregon and the owners are passionate about what they do. The wines are excellent and one should definitely make this winery a "for sure" stop!

Service was good, but tasting fee was pricey compared to other wineries in the area. We ended up leaving without buying a bottle because we didn't love any of the wine we tasted and they were also not affordable. Not a place to go if you're doing tastings around the area or if you're on a budget.

We will for sure be back and are excited to get your wines all the way from Indiana. Cheers!

Discovered this place while wine tasting for my 5 year Anniversary. Love the atmosphere of being rustic and old school. The wine is very tasty and has plenty to choose from. The fact that this place is the oldest in Oregon, and still in operation is amazing. Highly recommend going here. Great Experience.
Whenever I have friends visiting from out of state that would like to visit a local vineyard, I take them to Reustle (pronounced rustle, like rustle the leaves) Prayer rock Vineyard. It is always a first class experience and they come home with lots of wine to share. One of the benefits of being a good host. The wine tastings are a delight, the pairings with snacks are always fun. I've been to almost all of Douglas Counties wineries and Prayer Rock is at the top of the list.

We joined the conseires club in november and just picked up our second month of 6 bottles. They brought us around back into the cave in a members only area. It was all decked out in christmas decore. The gal helping us was super nice and introduced us to the owners wife. She was very delightful and welcomed us to the wine club family. We ordered a cheese and meat plate, which is amazing, and enjoyed a bottle of our wine in a private pod on the front patio. Very romantic and always a pleasure to be there.

Underwhelming experience. The staff was very impersonal and did the absolute bare minimum in welcoming you. Such a cool spot with potential but the people are what bring you back and this place, I would highly suggest going elsewhere.
Abacela Winery is named after an old Spanish word meaning "to plant grapevines." The winery, run by a husband-wife team, offers a wide variety of beautifully complex and structured wines. Visitors can enjoy the full-flavored light wines and also have the option to pair them with food. The staff, like wine expert Hailey, are known for being friendly and informative, making for a wonderful overall experience at Abacela Winery.

Discover this place for Valentine's Day, had a wonderful dinner and met great people. Arguably one of the best port wines anyway. Ask for Joe or Sam and make sure you get a flight then end it with a port. We got ourselves a 2007 and a 2012. A wonderful wonderful place.

Wonderful winery, with a very nice tasting room and outside patio. Some really exceptional Spanish and Italian varietals you won't find in the Willamette Valley wineries. All of their wines are good, and a few are exceptional including the Reserve Tempranillo, and the Paramour blend. On the most recent visit we discovered they hold club pick-up event in Portland, so may consider joining.

Very fast unloading
They start unloading trucks at 9:00 am
Entrance is little tight

Lovely view, quiet area and nice facility. Service is OK. The wines seem good to me but expensive (to me but then I'm more of a low end wine person). One of the best ports I've ever had. Dogs on the patio are allowed.
Wildlife Safari is a 600-acre park that boasts an impressive collection of animals from around the globe. Visitors can embark on a 4.5-mile drive-thru loop to see these creatures up close and in their natural habitats, including deer and emus giving birth. Beyond the drive-thru, guests can also explore the barn and get even closer to some of the animals.
Awesome place to go with family and friends!
Lots of animals to see and even feed a few!
After the nice relaxing drive around you can even park and see more animals!
Staff was very friendly! Some of the staff even stayed next to the animals and said a few facts and were always making sure you enjoyed it!
Definitely recommend going to this place!

The Wildlife Safari is located in Winston, Oregon. You can pay to go through the drive through to see bears, bison, elephants, giraffes, and many other animals, but if you plan to go through the drive through a couple more times it is best to buy a membership for $120 annually. You can go through the drive through as many times as you would like the entire year. You can add a person onto the membership, so you could also just go in on a membership with a family member or a friend. You can walk through and look at many other animals for free, with donations kindly accepted. There is a small playground for children, a cafeteria/ restaurant, many different species of animals to look at as well as a petting zoo area.

Great little set up. Lots of great things to see. My advice is don't let the guy behind you rush you through. Tell him/her to go around and race to the finish on their own time. You only get the one trip through and it's not by the car but the passengers inside so take your time and really enjoy the presentation. I love the fact that they are doing this the right way and not like some nasty places that try to make money off the poor animals.

Tons of family fun. Lots of animals to see, plenty of activities in the village. Playground, petting zoo, camel rides, train rides, Photo Booth. snacks, gift shop. Everything extra cost extra. Place is affordable for the most part and about average. Lots of more intimate options for interacting with animals for a cost. Arrived at 2pm and many animals were napping already. You could see them; just laying down. Earlier arrival time would be best we assumed. Village layout is a little confusing and viewing window glass had major glare. We will be back.

We spent today here. It had been many years since we'd been there, so some things have changed, such as some of the predatory animals not roaming free as in yrs past. But, I do understand why they probably had to change that. Still, we enjoyed it so much. The weather was perfect, and this place is so well maintained. Definitely do the walk through as well, if you have time. The landscaping is very pretty, too. Both adults and children really love feeding the birds, in the aviary.

Drove through with family, it was a lot of fun. You must stay in your vehicle at all times. We bought some food in cups to feed the animals through our windows. We had enough time pause in our car and take pictures along the way. There's souvenirs available at the end, highly recommend as a family stop!

Loved it so much and only wish we'd got there earlier in the day to experience more of the safari village! The drive through was huge, so many animals roaming free - it was really quite spectacular to see such great care for all creatures. The bears were my favourite, also loved the feeding area where we had fun giving snacks to the deer and emus (one of them stole our cup and got chased around by his mate, we were laughing for ages). We ended our tour with a sticker for the van and a little peek at the cheetah. I'd definitely recommend this safari for all ages, stay for the whole day and enjoy it!

I love this place. Went with my granddaughters. They had a blast. They loved feeding the animals. The ostriches and deer came straight up to my car. The bears are my favorite. They seemed so relaxed laying in the shade. The leopards and cheetahs were nice to see. We saw them eating their dinner. The walk in part of the park was very nice. We walked around and saw several animals there. We loved the babies. I would highly recommend this place. It is a great place to stop while on vacation or if you just want to have a special day.

A great place for people young and old. The kids we're super excited each time we spotted a new animal on the drive through, and the adults felt a child like anticipation. The walk through village offered an educational experience with different animals to see and interact with and the chance to see some creatures very up close and personal.

Drove down from Portland for a day adventure with my 3 children. This place does not disappoint! So much fun, much better than the Oregon Zoo. Animals had more than enough room to roam freely and all seemed happy. My kids loved feeding the deer and the emu's! Well cared for and kept together. We'll definitely be back!

This experience was amazing!!! We saw so many animals up close and happy in their environment. Bonus was seeing a 15 minute old deer and watching an emu give birth. Our entire party was incredibly happy with this experience and still talking about it days later. Enjoyed walking around the barn and seeing other animals after the drive through. Highly recommend.

This was quite amazing to do. We were pressed for time, but with your admission you can go around a couple of times on the drive. Plus the walk through area is included. That is where you can do the camel ride and train. It was nice they honored both a Veteran discount and triple A discount. Will definitely go back again 😀

I have been visiting Wildlife Safari for the past 35+ years (about every 4-5 years we make a trip down). It's a wonderful experience, and a treat to see so many animals- some up close! Some things have changed over the years. For example, the lions used to roam free to the point they had to open a gate to let each car in and out. Now they're contained behind fences. I'm guessing it's an insurance requirement (which says more for society than anything). It's still a great place to visit.
The day we were there this time was pretty hot. The rhinos were hiding in the shade near the top of the hill, but other than that, pretty much all of the other critters were out and about. We didn't do the train or camel ride this time, but have in the past (and enjoyed both).
All in all, Wildlife Safari is absolutely worth a trip- granted it's no Loro Parque, but is educational, charming, and enjoyable in it's own way. Yes, we will absolutely be back in a couple years.

Great way to watch animals which can roam freely than being in cages. They have all variety of animals, mainly, well fed and healthy. Groupon made it cheaper with discounted tickets.

Beautiful sunny day that wasn't too cold so we could enjoy the animals with the windows down. Went in the afternoon of a weekday, so very light traffic & the animals were all out & playful. This preserve is spectacular & massive with so many animals from all over the world. Today's favorite was the young grizzly bear playing & running. Also, two Emos fighting over the feed cup LOL. Make sure to bring at least $5 cash so you can feed some of the animals. This place is a must see & I'll be going back at least once a year!

Very fun. Could only be reasonably improved with clearer signage. Staff is friendly. Park is clean. It is not charge per car but per person which is a bit ridiculous. I do recommend going.

Wow wow wow, This was such a great experience. We last minute got tickets for this safari on our way up to Portland and it was 100% worth it. There was a slight drilling so it was am interesting experience. Many of the animals were out cuddled up with each other. We spent around 2 hours here. Not many cars on the trail. Be careful feeding the emus... food go everywhere haha. This is a must stop !

3 of us booked a full day rafting trip with Morrisons Rogue Wilderness. They offered the options to use the inflatable kayaks (duckies) or riding a raft with others. We had a great time. Our guide, Mika (I hope that’s how he writes his name-sorry 🤭) and all the other guides are super fun guys to be on a trip with. They will walk or raft :) that extra mile for you and your family, friends so you have an outstanding experience on the river. They know the river very well and you feel totally comfortable and safe with them -even with younger kids. Especially if you are a first timer we highly recommend them so you have a great experience with professionals! We had so much fun! Thank you for it!

We are 100% doing this trip again soon… Guides were all (5) amazing, lodges were warm and inviting and the food was fantastic. Tip of the hat to Morrison Lodge staff and Chef Matt, this young man is an excellent chef. You’ll understand why I’ve called him out after your first experience. Our river guide Andrew Serda… Best I’ve had on any of the many (Oregon, Alaska, Calif.) river trips I’ve had over the past 40 years. Never felt more safe and on the fish, like we did w/ Andrew.
See you again in 2024 !

Our family, including kids aged 9 and 11, did a 2 night rafting trip that was absolutely phenomenal on all levels. The scenery was gorgeous, camping under the stars was peaceful, and the guides were not only super entertaining but also very proficient and safe. To top it off, the food was very healthy and delicious, and the guides are extremely conscientious about protecting the environment- the very reason we are there!

What an amazing adventure! We were guided by Martin, Dustin O, Justin, and Kevin, and they were all amazing guides. The entire trip was so well planned & SO MUCH FUN! The food was fantastic and the camps were fabulous. Our family was on Dustin’s raft and he provided a wealth of information on the Rogue River, and the Rogue Valley. They were all phenomenal guides and made sure there was laughter the entire trip! We can’t wait for our next adventure with Morrison!

This was my first whitewater rafting experience! I tagged along with some friends on a 3 day, 2 night rafting trip and was not disappointed. The food was fantastic, and they took care of everything for us. This is the way to relax! Our guide was Greg, and he was very experienced, friendly, and helpful. Going through Blossom Bar was probably the most intense part for me, but Greg navigated us through it with ease. All the other guides were amazing as well: Rip, Mackenzie, Marcus (who did an amazing job on the meat!), Christian, and Nick. I highly recommend booking a trip and hope to return in the not so distant future! Thank you Morrison's for a fantastic adventure and experience!

We recently did a half day trip on the Rogue. The outfit served a nice lunch before departure at their scenic lodge. The guides were very seasoned and knowledgeable about every nook in the river. This was one of the more mellow rafting trips I took, but was a great intro for my daughter. We had a very relaxing afternoon in a very beautiful stretch of the river.

I highly praise the 6 man crew for their professional manner, endless patience and dedication to safety of our group of 21 during the 4 day river trip. The meals offered were delicious, with an abundance of choices. The last night we stayed at Paradise Bar lodge. Their staff and accommodations were excellent. The food was great. A beautiful location with resident wildlife. Our crew leader was Martin who I give a 5 plus star rating. The experience was exceptional, one I will remember forever. I highly recommend this company if a river trip is on your bucket list.

I was so very nervous/hesitant to go on this trip but I'm so glad I did. Our guide, Greg, was fabulous. I was at-ease for most of the trip and he talked us through how to handle each area. He was a pro! I highly recommend anyone getting out of their comfort zone and booking this trip with a stayover at Paradise Lodge. The food was incredible. The views were incredible. The experience was incredible.

Our rafting trip with Morrisons Rogue Wilderness Adventures was nothing short of extraordinary! From the start, the team at Morrisons left no stone unturned to ensure that our adventure was impeccably planned and executed. Whether you're an experienced rafter or a first-timer, they cater to every need.
Our guide Ryan was the perfect blend of knowledgeable, attentive, humorous, and cautious. He lead 2 other rafts at the same time. His love for and knowledge of the Rogue River made the trip all the more fun.
The rapids were perfectly suited for beginners, and the option to solo kayak added an exciting touch of challenge for those seeking it. I definitely made use of it and highly recommend it. Our children, aged 6 and 9, had the time of their lives! Watching their faces light up with joy and excitement was truly priceless.
We saw Ospreys soaring above us and turtles on the shores. We jumped into the river for swim breaks multiple times. The provided lunch was not only delicious, but also thoughtfully prepared, adding to our memorable day. The chocolate chip cookies were.. yeah amazing.
The full day of rafting was filled with moments of thrill, laughter, fun, and filled with awesome surrounding natural beauty.
Our experience with Morrisons Rogue Wilderness Adventures was outstanding and one we will cherish forever. If you are looking for a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty, look no further than a rafting trip down the scenic Rogue River with this excellent crew. It's an adventure you'll remember for a lifetime.

My husband and I just finished a raft supported hiking trip of the wild and scenic part of the Rogue river. It exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and the care and comfort of the guests was perfect. I was worried about hiking such a long stretch and the ability to get in the rafts and hit the water multiple times a day made it so much more enjoyable for me. Our trip leader Sorin and her guides Marcus and Maynard were so welcoming and friendly we felt like family. I highly recommend this company - their care and customer service we’re second to none.

This was my first time river rafting. It was soo much fun! The lunch to start us off was awesome! Great quality food and it felt like home. Our guide Rip was awesome! He made us feel safe and he was soo much fun! He talked and interacted with us and made the trip extra fun! Having the inflatable kayak available to us made it even more fun! I loved it soo much! This experience made me want to book another one with bigger rapids! There was one downfall to the trip. There was a lead guide, named Don or something like that. He was soo rude! Our group fell behind and once we caught up to him he reprimanded our guide in front of everyone! Asking him if he knew how to row and everything ! Saying our guide made it unsafe for everyone. Which is totally not true. This lead guide made his raft and ours feel soo uncomfortable. That was soo unprofessional. He kept making comments to our guide and under his breath that were just so uncalled for and not professional. I would love to book another raft with you all but am hesitant because if that guide is there I won’t book it. I still gave a 5 star because everything except for that lead guide, was amazing ! Thank you!

Our guides, Brent and Soren, made for a wonderful trip. Kind and courteous, they both tended to all our needs despite none of us being sandwich people. Soren allowed us all to row to our hearts content. Highly recommend Morrison’s!
Laid-back casino resort offering rooms & RV spaces, plus 3 restaurants, a spa & live concerts.
I noticed that none of the bathroom fans worked in any of the 3 rooms that my family were in on the second floor. 🤔 I really liked the fresh new look in the public restroom, pool dressing room, and dry sauna. 🙂
We were there to celebrate my daughter and daughter-in-law's birthdays. We had a great time and they even won some birthday cash! 🤑
We'll be back!! 😁

If you booked prior to January 1st, double check the rate you booked at and the rate you’re actually charged! First, the newly remodeled rooms are very nice and clean. I loved how spacious it was and the comfortable seating area. Only problem with the room was the A/C, no matter how low we set it (on high, cool or auto cool) it wouldn’t drop below 76 at night which made it hard to sleep. When we checked in the front desk agent did not verify the dates we were staying or the rate and I didn’t think to ask as I had booked over the phone and was emailed a confirmation. The next morning there was a receipt under the door so I called the front desk to double check we were still booked another night and they said when there system updated it changed our stay to 1 night, they said it would be taken care of and they’d change the rate to $112 which is what I was originally quoted. Housekeeping still tried to come into the room and tell us it’s after checkout, so it was never communicated. We went down, got new keys, and a manger fixed the reservation. I then asked him to verify the price for both nights and they were set about $70 higher than I was quoted even after I was told it would be taken care of. Again, they said the system update changed the prices, so I’m sure a lot of people got charged more than quoted. He was very friendly and fixed it for us. We then asked for a 12pm checkout and again the next morning housekeeping knocked and asked if we were a late checkout, again telling me it wasn’t communicated even though we asked the night before. The food at Cow Creek was great, and everyone was very friendly.

I love Seven Feathers. I have been to many tribal casinos in the US and everything they do far surpasses all of them. They are extremely clean, they keep decor fresh, great casino floor staff as well as front desk. The restaurants are great and their point systems rock. It isn’t too big and it isn’t too small. This is by far my favorite casino to come to even when I lose! Great job management and team!

Location is convenient because it's right off. The freeway staff is kind of far and few between. But the arcade It's pretty cool. Me and my son went in there and played a bunch of video games.where I don't gamble. Maybe nicer if they expanded the video game center a little more for kids that are here with their parents and made it a little bit more affordable. The way I see it is you already make so much money off of the gambling. Why not give it back by making your arcade a lot more affordable Say a quarter of a game, it's not like you're have very much maintenance and doom and not like you have to watch Over him. Like you do the video game slots. I don't quite understand why they charge so much for it. And don't have a big area, but it was cool.

Always a good time here with friends and family. Love the arcade, pool, sauna and hot tubs. Good food, customer service could be a little better. Waited forty-five minutes for someone to help us in the arcade after i called for assistance, no one showed up. We took a shuttle for free to a restaurant down the street. Nice, friendly driver.

If you gamble even a little bit, this is a perfect stop on I-5 in southern Oregon. The place is just plain nice. The check in is easy, the rooms are awesome and the Casino is a happening place.

Great Casino to stop at if you’re traveling with children. They have a pool and arcade to keep the kids occupied as well as a few family friendly restaurants. The only thing as a downside is the prices of the restaurants are a bit expensive for what they are. For adults the casino has a wide variety of machines as well as a good number of table games. My family and I stayed the night and the rooms were spacey and pretty luxurious.

Love to get away to this lively place, fun to get away and have a meal, or play some machines maybe take a moment to stop in the bingo hall and play a few cards. They always have live concerts or some kind of attraction going on. The rooms are very decent priced and well kept up. Also they have a vip room its amazing should definitely check it out if you haven't yet.

This place sucks unless you like giving money away. We never win. Not sure why we come back ever except that it is close to home. We figured we might win at least once. Never happens, might as well just walk in and hand them our money. They are to greedy for us. Will not be going back. Would rather drive further where at least there is a chance to win. The only reason there are good reviews on here is because the hotel is nice as long as your not going to gamble don't waste your time or hard earned money.

Our car broke down on the way to California and we needed a place to stay for the night. Fortunately they had rooms, although it was pricey!! The room was nice. No complaints. The casino area was not too crowded, but seemed smaller than expected. I liked that there were beverage areas for sodas and coffee as you were gambling. We ate in one restaurant, diner type. It was okay. I felt like we waited a bit for the waitress to take our order. All the staff that helped us were nice. They also have an indoor swimming pool that a lot of families were using. Would I stay again, probably not, but if I lived in the area, I would for a short getaway.

I've not stayed in the rooms as it is my stop heading up north with my RV. No hookups, but it's great to have a rest here for the night. The place is very clean. Diner Restaurant was nice, and breakfast was great for the grandson. Nice perk was we happen to be there a day they host a Farmers Market. The grounds are beautiful, especially all the roses. Great to see they offer their venue for a space for the community to have a farmers market where we bought several items for the reminder of our trip. Also, across the highway, they have a fabulous fuel/struck stop. So clean!

Cow Creek Cafe has large breakfasts and they are very tasty. The casino and hotel Christmas decorations are the best I have seen in a public place in quite a while. Sorry there is not room service or cleaning because of Covid. But the service was outstanding. We could ask for fresh towels or extra glasses and be served quickly. Everyone was friendly and nice. First time I have stayed but won't be the last.

Atmospheres nice, the people are really happy and comfortable working there. They really is no stress on the gambling floor. All the games are clean. It smells really nice. The only problem is the food seems to be designed for the older palette. So it's plain and a bit mushy. I had hash browns that taste like there was mashed potatoes inside. Very odd. But other than that it's a really great place to go and hang out and get your gamble on.

Last summer (2022) we visited and had a good time. Fast forward to this summer we received some coupons and free play dollars—we spent a total of two nights this time around. Excellent modern rooms. The casino has a great vibe, and I appreciate they have lots of places to chill besides just in front of slots.
The pool is great, and the restaurants are a great value with great flavor. We don’t live close so won’t be back for a bit, but look forward to going back. Easily the best casino in Oregon!

The casino is nice for those who like to gamble. The hotel was not worth $220 per night it has very poor water pressure in the shower couldn't even was my hair. I was just blown off when I let the front desk staff know. We did stay in the side they said was the better side. Not a luxury hotel. I would say good option if you want to drink and gamble and not get a DUI.

This establishment is widely regarded as one of the premier gaming destinations within the state of Oregon. However, it does have one notable drawback, which is the relatively early closing time. On the positive side, smoking is permitted within the premises. I would like to inquire if there is a designated non-smoking section available. I frequent this establishment periodically and consistently return due to the exceptional quality of the games offered.

I expected a nice meal but I was served raw chicken. Management probably hires an inexperienced chef. I asked for a refund and i was told that I ate it already by the server. Poor chef poor, staff and a lying waitress! I broke the chicken into piece due to one that was RAW. Too bad I was willing to tip. I will not miss this place! Adios their slots sucks 700$ in and no payout on a bonus feature.

It’s a casino and that is pretty much it. There are services for kids. If you bring your children with you there’s a nice large pool and small arcade. There are very few restaurants that are kid friendly, but there is a nice cafeteria, which has the best food prices, and probably the best food, I have pictured it in my photos. The service overall was OK. There was a mix of workers who were happy to be there and others who did not like their job and it was apparent. Don’t expect any extra accommodations. If they do something wrong they don’t seem to care at all. Stayed the night, the accommodations were comfortable, so no complaints about the hotel room. However, if you’re sensitive to smoke, the casino does allow smoking in most areas and you can smell smoke through most of the halls of the hotel, and sometimes through your vent in your bedroom, even though the rooms are non-smoking. They kept saying over the speakers that someone was winning over twelve hundred dollars like every hour or less but I never saw someone win money or that large of a sum of money so it felt like it was a recording. Most gamblers did not seem to be happy Did not really see many people winning so if you’re going there, expecting to win don’t. If you’re a strategic gambler, you might do well, a lot of the workers on the tables seem to be newer, which could also mess you up as well if you are experienced, so overall it is a mix of everything. Restaurants are not too good there was a fly in my drink twice at one of the bars but don’t let that stop you from trying the food. Don’t have any expectations. I would go back again though. Overall not too bad.

Was absolutely amazing I take my daughter there at least once a month:) I love what they do there and I love seeing the animals, my daughter is three so she doesn't have the attention span for the lessons or anything yet but I try and learn what I can when I can, about 16$ for an adult and 4 and under are free, or you can buy a membership for a year (which I'll do if I ever an extra 90$ in one go) ...

Went Monday for my daughter birthday her favorite animal is otters 🦦 and I was so excited they had artistic otters that you can book so we did. Was really cool to get to see them work with trainers and see them up close. Luke and Mitch were so cute. I definitely recommend booking this. After we were done with that we walked around and checked out the other animals. Fun family activity.

This is such an amazing and beautiful place. Everything about it is, including their mission purpose.
Please give yourself at least several hours to enjoy walking about, seeing the animals, and learning. You will be glad you did and probably want more time, or to return soon.
They are community supported too so please be sure to show them how much you love the place and things being done. They always need volunteers, as well as donations to keep doing such important and invaluable work.

Great facility! Great cause! Petting zoo… good variety of birds mammals and reptiles they’re caring for. Highly recommend purchasing the guided tour - better for bigger kids and adults. Not rushed and very informative. Volunteers and contributions are crucial to meeting the facility’s goals.

Edit: I used to enjoy this place, especially when they were changing for the better with acquisition of otters, discovery farm, and new experiences for everyone. There were positive changes, and people would visit after YEARS of not being there to say it was completely different and exciting. Now, however, the board of directors (mainly the new President) alienated the staff, managers, and volunteers who were positively impacting the establishment and they all left. As a volunteer who created their museum of conservation, I no longer feel like this is a safe and exciting learning environment for the public.

The habitats for the animals were very natural and open. Staff was so caring and friendly, willing to answer all my questions about the animals I had, and I got to see a very kind staff member explain Nubs' eye medicine as she did it. I really love seeing the animal's names and stories alongside the facts about them as well even though so many of the stories are heartbreaking to read. Thank you for the experience and I look forward to coming again!

Awesome place to see wild animals. You can spend about an hour to see all the animals. Our kids love it!! The staff was extremely nice. It's definitely worth it.

Everyone needs to stop supporting this business. ..its no longer going to be a rehabilitation center... all new people took over and the main guy thinks that animals don't feel pain. He has been giving orders to euthanize anything brought in with its eyes still closed and thinks its humane to euthanize by putting baby squirrels in the freezer to freeze to death instead of doing it the correct t way. . I HAVE FRIENDS THAT QUIT AFTER 14 YEARS FUE TO THIS NEW IN HUMANE PRACTICE. AND NOBODY SHOULD CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS PLACE

The fact that there have been multiple mass staff walkouts really speaks for itself. The most recent being around 30 staff members (almost all of the employees), along with many wonderful long term volunteers. For these people, chosing to leave the animals they care about was incredibly difficult, but when the exectutives are making decisions that negatively impact both the welfare of these animals and the employees, they were ultimately left with no choice.
Consider reaching out to Badger Run instead if you find a sick, injured, or orphaned animal.

Been there a bunch of times but this was probably the best time when we went last week. They brought out quite a few different animals that we hadn't been able to see up close before. It is definitely worth the trip.

Rosemary M — Google review
They are more about profits than helping rehabilitate animals, some animals and more than 30+ staff have suffered with new management. And current owners believe animals don't feel pain. Which is referenced when an underweight squirrel was put into a freezer to be euthanized. The reference was brought up over a discussion over this situation going public on social media, current owners daughter admitted this about animals not feeling pain and it was learned by her father. She did remove her comment about admitting it, staff/owners were blocking the public from asking questions about a lot of the situations going on over there with new management. More than questionable when volunteers and staff that have been there for so many years are fired or walk off due to the environment and treatment of animals.

We had a blast! The info sessions and meet and greets every 1/2 hour were very informative. They host events for Mother’s Day and other times throughout the year that look so much fun! Local facility treating local animals and helping keep the wild in the wild.
What an incredible experience! We chose the Thrill Seeker to get a good mixture of both the kayak and raft, and both really gave completely different experiences so I'm glad we opted for the full day to fit in both. All the tour guides were amazing, but Disney really made our trip exceptional and so much fun. This was our first time kayaking and rafting on the river and she really helped get us confident and comfortable on the water from the start. She went over verbally what to expect with each set of rapids and how we were going to handle them to help us mentally prepare. She truly knows how to guide and work with a group of completely random people to help make them a team. She also, without hesitation, helped rescue a lone kayaker's kayak from the class 4 rapids and then offered to help get him back to the boat ramp since he had just lost his paddle and belongings. She just went the extra mile with every aspect of today's trip and we can't say enough about how wonderful it was! I will say, another group really struggled because they were NOT listening to their guide and completely talked over her the whole time, so please listen! They know what they're doing if you give them a chance to help you. Thank you Orange Torpedo for the absolutely fantastic day! We will DEFINITELY be coming back for more!

I did the Thrill Seekers experience with two of my girlfriends and it was an absolute blast! We spent the morning kayaking through rapids and the afternoon rafting the Rogue River. Our outfitter, Wes, was truly amazing! He was a great guide and lead us through the day in confidence. It was a perfect day to celebrate my best friend’s 31st birthday. Can’t wait to go back and do it again! Thank you Oregon Torpedo for hosting a great day!

Great trip with Orange Torpedo. We did the half day Salmon River, which was a perfect escape from a hot summer day. Excellent guide - Jackie. There were a number of rafting companies on the river and we noticed Orange Torpedo didn't load up their boats with as many passengers as the other companies. I don't know if this is normal, but it made it more fun to not be crowded in. The only con, their ground transportation is a bit shaky (aka old vehicles), but didn't present a problem.

Excellent adventure. This is a full day of intense rapids and whitewater. A total blast. But be warned, you need whitewater kayaking and rafting experience before going on this trip!! this is not a relaxing flat water experience...it is 6-7 hours of rapids one after the other...
gorgeous clean clear river, very cold water....be sure to wear a wet suit or splash gear. Our guides were total professionals. Well-spoken, great personalities, funny, informative.
Derek was some incredible eye-candy. I had to pick my jaw off the ground a few times.
lots of flipping over and falling out of the kayaks...so be prepared....
this outfitter was one of my favorites...I wished in retrospect I would have hired them for other river trips instead of Row and Ouzel and Western....
the only suggestion was that lunch needs to be taken up a few notches....deli meat sandwiches should be elevated to something nicer...not quite enough food for all of us....the guides did not have enough to eat after we all ate. More protein is needed for everyone
going to do this trip again!

What a wonderful experience! We did a 4 day trip on the Rogue River with OTT. They were fun, safe, informative and accommodating. OTT's guides can explain the history and geology of the river and pointed out many plants, birds and wildlife found on the river. We had GF and vegetarian folks in our group and they made every effort to make sure we were taken care of and well fed. The lodges' we stayed in were rustic and homey.

Had a great afternoon with our guide Kruse! If you're unsure if this is family appropriate, we went with an 8yr and 10yr old and felt VERY safe. This half day Rogue River trip we took was action right from the start with many 2 and 3s before the ending two 4 rapids. Won't be bored by any means!

Popping my white waters for the very first time doing a 1 day trip on the North Umpqua River with an amazing group of guides for my birthday weekend. We had a group of 7 and split up into 2 rafts.
Dietz the Team Lead was simple and informative when it came to SAFETY FIRST! Teaching us what to do and not to do before hopping onto the river. One of our friend sprained their ankle and was in his raft and every now and then would jokingly pray before we hit a few gnarly rapids. Of course he one handedly guided them like a pro and our trooper friend survived without a scratch.
Derek our guide was super friendly and totally not an introvert with his humorous jokes and informative "falling rock" and "leaver rocks". Take is easy on the birds though, okay 🤣
Lunch was provided and prepped by the team at the lunch spot midway into the trip.
Absolute favorite part was riding the bull embracing the Amazon Queen!! Least favorite part was ending the day...whomp whomp whomp.
Overall, the experience was 5 🌟 because all the guides including Becca and Lauren were buttkickin awesome and knowledgeable from start to finish!! 10/10 would have to do this again, thank you all so much!
P.S. Let's go Leos! Hope you too have an awesome birthday Derek!!!

Absolutely fantastic trip with Orange Torpedo Tours! My family and I did the Rogue River Wild and Scenic 4 Day Lodge Trip. The entire staff was great- thank you to Mike, Ben, Kalen, Tim, Nick, and Ryan. The guides are super knowledgeable and were excellent at maintaining safety at all times. We switched off between the group paddle rafts and kayaks on the trip. It was fun to try both! Overall, the trip was well organized and thought-out. We didn't want it to end!! Will be recommending this trip to others and will hopefully come back next summer 🙏🏼

Such a fantastic winery! The grounds are absolutely GORGEOUS and the building itself quite stunning. The wine selection is huge and the flights tasty. The food, oh man the food, was SO good!

The pizza was great, the wine was mediocre, and like another reviewer mentioned, the service lacked personality. I wanted to buy a bottle but the servers behind the bar were hard to engage and it was clear they didn't want to upsell or share information about the wines. I was further discouraged when everyone in my group was given our wines in super spotty and dirty glasses, like maybe the dishwasher was missing rinse aid. For the price point of the wines, this was appalling. The most positive part of this experience was a mug of mulled wine. I've heard great things about Schmidt, the grounds are impressive and very beautiful but the wine experience was lacking in so many ways.

This is my favorite place in Southern Oregon. Why you ask-- The staff is super friendly and will help you decide the best selection of wine for you. The food is amazing from the wood oven pizza, olives, cheese plates and the olive oil and vinegar platters. The views are amazing and they have seats everywhere on the grounds. It's so relaxing you can just take time for you. There's nothing better then bringing great friends here and creating lasting memories.

A lovely drive through the Applegate Valley and well sign posted. The winery itself is well worth a visit. A wonderful tasting room - warm and cosy in winter - and the great outdoor area for summer. Light food available in the form of Pizza, cheese platters etc. Wines - a rather large selection with different tastings available. Some great award winning wines to choose from both whites and reds. Chardonnay, Viognier, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and many more. It was very busy when we went on Saturday afternoon March 2017.
We visited Plaisance years ago and loved the tasting experience. But the proof of their skill is in the 2015 Petit Verdot we're enjoying this afternoon. It's smoothed out since we first tasted it, but still has a nice, balanced tannin structure. It's complex and smooth all at the same time. Really a special wine after cellaring all these years.

We stumbled upon this wine at the open-air market in Grants Pass, then headed out there to visit the winery that afternoon.
It's definitely not your typical wine experience, which is what is so cool about it. The owner was extremely hospitable despite the fact that we came close to closing time (website was off by an hour), and we enjoyed the wines, food, and environment immensely. We are looking forward to when she can get her wine club license (yes, there is a wait list for this - ugh).
We will make it a point to visit this place whenever we are in the area. And the bonus? When we were leaving, there was the most vibrant double rainbow we've ever seen! That's a good sign for sure.

Subpar wine with subpar customer service. Owner would rather pay attention to a tourist couple then 3 locals, and not even tell them what wine we were tasting. Much better off going to Schultz, Troon, Apricity, Waldport, or Augustino than going here.

What a great way to spend a Sunday (or any day) afternoon. We went for a tasting. Sue was very welcoming making us feel like personal friends. A small plate of cheese, crackers and salami was complementary and paired well with our tastings. The wines we tasted (generous pours) were very good. Two well behaved resident dogs were part of the welcoming committee. Your dogs are welcome if they are well behaved and they are controlled at all times. I would definitely recommend my friends go.

We went on a July Friday evening, 6’ish. They had live music and BBQ available for purchase as a fund raiser for the Lyons. There is plenty of spacious parking. Seating is available under the big open barn or just outside on the grass with Adirondack chairs or tables. There were many people with young children, so it’s family friendly. Each table had a little cup of goldfish crackers on it and the people next to us brought their own snacks. We tried the GSM, I liked it. The glasses were complimentary if you are looking for a souvenir. I enjoyed the family feel. It was a different experience than some of the other vineyards where you’re seated looking out over the vines, like Walport. I saw port o potties, I don’t know if they have an actual bathroom. We bought our wine at a table on the way to our seats. I asked about the GSM, as Augustino sells a GSM that I love. The guy selling the bottles seemed disgusted at my stupidity as he explained that GSM is a blend and “anyone can make it”. It was rude but now I know. No one came around to see if we needed anything. Someone did come around offering free garden zucchini’s which was very nice. I prefer Augustino’s GSM. I also prefer Walport’s, Wooldridge’s and Augustino’s service, and setting.
Recreation area with campground, yurts, a boat ramp & 3 miles of riverfront for fishing.
Well taken care of. Sites A and F are only available at this time. All others appear to be closed (roads are closed with notices OP&R staff only)
Camper bathrooms and areas are very well taken care of!

Nice campground next to the river with very nice paved bike paths connecting to the surrounding communities. Grass was a bit overgrown and needed to be mowed. My site's RV sewer drain was plugged but the staff promptly responded and hired a contractor who fixed it. Campground is also next to the freeway but the traffic blended into the background so didn't bother me.

The front gate wasn’t staffed the entire time we were there. Understaffed and/or COVID, I suppose. We had reserved online so we just went to our sites. A ranger arrived about an hour later to check us in. We asked if she would trim a tree that was rubbing against our motorhome, and she said “maybe if we have time”. They never did trim it so after a couple of days we did it ourselves! This was our first time here, and it was not a good impression. There is no screening of who’s coming in or what they are driving. We saw many people sleeping in their cars with piles of junk and trash laying around. Several times there were three or more cars in one site. There were a lot of very old campers and lots of tents. Another RVer we talked to said it had really gone downhill since the last time they were here. The rangers did kick someone out who was being a scary nuisance to us and others. In 8 years of travel, this is one of the few parks where we have felt unsafe. The sites and roads are paved which is a positive. Trees need trimming on all the roads. We saw very few, if any, sites that were level. Most of the longest sites (including ours) have a curve near the front which makes it interesting to park an un-bendable motorhome. Many sites are also awkward to back into due to the angle and trees. There is nice spacing between sites and tall trees that offer some shade. Grass is optional and is losing the battle to dirt and sticky weeds. There are many, many ankle breaker holes dug by ground squirrels and gophers. We even lucky enough to have a broken water sprinkler that we had to cover to avoid tripping over it. Each site comes with a coveted, tired picnic table. The campground is right by I-5 so there is constant traffic noise regardless of your site. The restrooms and showers are old and need a good cleaning. They did have toilet paper and paper towels. There is no WI FII. Verizon was 4g 4 bars. Satellite is possible in some sites. If you are towing, it is best to unhook your vehicle in the amphitheater parking lot or you will block the road at your site. We visited some of the wineries and breweries. It was very smoky when we were there so didn’t do any outdoor activities. Definitely left a bad taste in our mouths!

The only reason i don't give this park,is the proximity to I-5. The road noise will become white noise. So i have to say also with tinnitus and even hearing ringing constantly that i can still hear road traffic. No reason not come and enjoy this place. Happy 4th of July.

It is a very nice park lots of staff all over the place keeping maintenance up. I did wish there were more trees, seemed a little bare between the yurts and even the camping and RV areas could have used a lot more trees between the sites. Over all alot of fun.
There is a nice paved trail that goes from Gold Hill to Rouge River. You can bike , walk, scooter 🛴 or skateboard it. Had a wonderful time.

An excellent place to unwind by the Rogue River. Yurts are in their own small loop separate from the rest of the campground. Stunning views of the mountains. Stayed a couple nights in yurt #09. Surrounded by towering trees it was truly an experience. A few things to note: this part of Oregon has lots of creepy crawlies. This includes the campground. A fair amount of spiders, bugs, mosquitoes (during the warmer months) and for the dog lovers, ticks. We did pick up a couple ticks just from walking on the paved path. The yurts are fairly close to I5 so you do get some traffic noise, but it’s nothing excessive by any means. The restrooms and showers were clean and plenty of hot water. Showers accessible by door code and had no issue using them at any time of the day or night. Park staff seemed to be friendly. Firewood is available for $5 a bundle in every loop. I can’t speak for all of the yurts, however #A09 had a strange tile floor. Like the type you see in elementary schools. It was a little off putting as it seemed so out of place, but the yurt was comfortable and had a second small table which was great for playing card games on. Yurts seemed well spaced and quiet. Further in, the loops for RVs seemed pretty tight not leaving anything for privacy or peace and quiet. Appeared to be fairly crowded. Would definitely recommend if you are passing through or just want a little adventure.

This was a super fun trip. We had to dive a little bit to get there. 1 1/2 hours. Totally worth it. The guide had great enthusiasm and very knowledgeable.

Really fun little visit. But pricey for sure. It was $60 for 3 of us (2 adults and 1 child) and the overall presentation is basically 1 hour of them talking about how it's level and measuring things for you. I feel like $10 - $12 entry fee would be fair and it would encourage people to go back more than once.

I heard about the vortex in an unusual way, I think. I had started watching Supernatural in the last few years and one of the episodes was about different vortex's around the globe. They mentioned one in Oregon and since I live in Washington and love to travel, I had to check it out. It was my birthday trip. I booked a room in Medford (only less than 15 minutes from the vortex) and my family and I went. We got there just past opening but we're greeted nicely and allowed to join the first tour group. The tour was interesting and the guide made it fun. The best part was being able to explore after the guided tour. You got to play with everything. Everyone turned into little scientists. 🫶🤘

We visited The Oregon Vortex or Mystery house or what ever else it's known as. It was a weekday in June 2023. I will say it was entertaining how well they could stretch out a tour of one old, one room building that is never more than feet away from the gift shop.
Again, it was entertaining. The idea is based upon magnetic principals relating to the earth. As such it is explained that things appear different than they should be.
Unfortunately for me, I don't see things the way a lot of folks do. So for me, I saw things as they actually were because I look at things different. As such the optical illusions didn't seem to appear as they said it should. I felt bad because I had to explain how I saw it different and why. Most of the time when I pointed out how to look at it. The optical illusion went away for others also. So I tried to keep my mouth shut as much as possible as to not ruin the shell game for the others.
So I guess it could be an interesting time if you just went along with the story. But for me it really wasn't worth the price I paid. The wife also didn't think it merited the price premium. But she did try to go along somewhat. But she even started to see the optical illusions. So the fun wore off fairly quickly for her as well.
It wasn't a bad time if you just play along and have fun. But it is a little pricey for the illusion.

The Oregon Vortex is definitely a fun stop. I was here 15+ years ago, and it doesn't seem to have changed much (if any) over the years. The staff were super friendly and our guide was a lot of fun.
Do I necessarily believe everything going on here is a due to a mysterious gravitational vortex centered here? I honestly don't know... How much is due to the power of suggestion? Again I don't know. One of the things they tell you is that you may feel physiological changes when you're close to the center. Something definitely feels "different" when you walk into the cabin. How much is placebos and the fact that the walls are all crooked? Once again, I just don't know. What I can tell you is that something is fascinatingly weird here, and its worth a visit to see for yourself. If nothing else, you will walk away with a smile on your face.

Cool place, excellent tour guide, but maybe a bit on the steep side for admission ($22/adult). Still very fun and would recommend a visit. I've lived in Oregon all my life and driven past the town many times but never stopped. I wasn't disappointed and my wife and kids had a great time, too.

Cost- adults $22 kids over 6 years old $12. Wish it were cheaper.
It was just that one building . It was nice but wish the tour was longer and wish we got to walk around more. More for older kids who can listen and understand gravity. Took my kids 3-7 (4 of them total) and they just ran around but the tour guide was really good with them. The drive was easy !

Everyone was plenty nice but it's is way to expensive for what it is. $80 for four of us! The tour was over an hour long and it should be max half that time. I felt that the optical illusion of being shorter/taller was the only thing they really showed over and over again for an hour in a oversized group (more waiting and seeing the taller/shorter thing x multiple families). Anyways I'm usually always pretty underwhelmed in these type of places but usually they are half the price so I felt compelled to warn others.

Great and fun experience. Will definitely do this again!
Wonderful guides (Bree and Dalton (in attached photo)). Love it how they were joking around to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere. They were quite informative as well.
We wish we could go through the parcours twice...first a practice thing and then for real 🙃

Jonah and Bri were fabulous guides! This was our 2nd time going in 6 years but first time bringing the kids. The safety steps, humor, and friendliness really makes this experience a wonderful one for kids and adults! The combination of exercise and adventure were really great, the sunset tour was the perfect blend of daylight and cooler summer temperatures.

Who both went above and beyond any expectations you could have I know their job is to make customers feel welcomed but we got lucky and they truly in their heart treated us as if we were family I most definitely will be sending people in that direction as well as frequenting there myself my parents have wanted to good zip lining since I could remember and now we can say that we knock something off their bucket list and it was truly what we wanted it to be and surpassed our expectations

Yogurt and the Postman were great funny guides. Made sure safety was number one then fun. Very informative on how to ride, the views. Family friendly. This is the second time we have been there. We will be back again soon.

We were hosted by Kelton, Dalton, and Jonah. We lucked out -- others that signed up for the day bailed due to threat of snow, but it wound up being sunny, so we had the place to ourselves! Two hours of fun -- the ziplines (there are 5 in total) are among the 3 longest we've been on. Admittedly, you spend little time ziplining, and more time being fully entertained by this (safe) comedy troupe, who had us laughing (sometimes chortling) and enjoying our time together. BE PREPARED TO HIKE SOME HILLS, but it's worth it. The last zipline is over 1/3 of a mile long, so look forward to that! This experience is also ADA compatible which I thought was impressive. Great views. Listen to the guides when they point out the POISON OAK! 😀

Such a fun experience with great views of the mountains and greenery. This is a family friendly event and takes about 3 hours total! Expect a little bit of hiking along the way. The tour guides were very entertaining and explained things well, very friendly people who take safety seriously. Highly recommend!!

I can not over emphasize how much we loved our time with Rogue Valley ZipLine. We went for a company trip and from start to finish we all were laughing and having fun together. We had several people going up that were very nervous about the height we didn't get much past putting out harnesses on before our guides had everyone at ease. Whatever the occasion (or no occasion at all) if you are reading this you should stop reading, go to there page and book your trip now!

We visited on a Thursday afternoon and had a reservation that we made four days earlier. We arrived at golf course and then rode in the van to the Zipline park. The van ride was an adventure, rough road, fast, and bouncy. We recommend sitting towards the front, we were in the fourth row and you could feel it.
The guides, Dalton and John, were knowledgeable and took their time to get us fitted in our harness and were happy to help each person make their adjustments. We watched the video ahead and took the advice that tighter was not better and found that the key to not having a wedgy on landing like some of the others. It's the thigh harness that you want to make sure is comfortable, take the guides advice and leave a little extra room.
We added the GoPro camera when we got there and have a video of our adventure on the ziplines.
The five ziplines grow longer as you move forward. The "bunny" line gets you comfortable with the process and by the time you are done you are ready to pushoff to increase your speed and lean back into the zip blind. We really enjoyed the zipping.
While you may only walk a 1/4 mile on the whole trip, it's all uphill dusty trail. Your shoes will be dirty and your legs may burn. The guides were helpful to have water at the top, but the first climb is a doozie.
We bought tshirts at the end and enjoyed our time.
Our guides took pictures of us at the foot of the zip, we recommend taking a camera, make sure you can secure it and nothing in the back pockets.

Great experience!
Not inexpensive but 5 zip lines all increasing in length plus the awesome staff made it worth it. Gear was in great condition and the girls we had went above and beyond to make everyone feel safe and entertained. Bring your dad jokes.

We came here during our anniversary & birthday getaway! This experience was soooooo AMAZING. We definitely will have to do this again, maybe next time we’ll do the whole zip, raft & winery experience.
The guides were FABULOUS. The course was BEAUTIFUL. The experience overall was EVERYTHING I wanted. Highly recommend! This is a hidden gem in Southern Oregon.

HIGHly recommend all the adventures this company is hosting!! We did the ZIP dip sip for my 40th and it was spot on amazing. Enjoying the beauty of nature with a little adrenaline boost and friends… magical!
Their zips were some of the best I have ever done. How they start you on a “bunny” zip to tear the waters, make you feel comfortable with what you’re doing and build you up to the big zips. SMART and effective for those in the group that are Leary or fearful of the experience.
The shuttle to and from each experience was easy and quick. Lunch at the golf course was great and needed. Also you can order burgers, beers and additional food there as well.
Then the rafting…. Thank god for Scotty and Ryan. They made it awesome. So experienced and knowledgeable about what they were doing and the area. They shared so many cool personal stories of rafting and their experiences. They did an amazing job with making us feel comfortable and confident so we could feel the adrenaline pumping and truly enjoy the thrill of whitewater rafting without being terrified of being tossed on the class 4’s.
The best guides I have had Ever! And we have done a bit of rafting.
I just want to say thank you to the Rogue Valley company, owner, and all our guides for making my 40th so memorable!

Had to wait an extra 20 minutes for a couple they signed up at the last minute (reason for only 4 stars). Guides were excellent, very professional but also added humor and made it fun. Zip lines were great, getting progressively longer. Our 8 and 12 year old granddaughters loved it. So did us older folks. If you have the $, I would definitely recommend it.

Our family had so much fun at Rogue Valley ZipLine Adventures! We were on a road trip from Colorado and had never been zip lining before. We brought our two boys, 8 and 13. We all had a blast! Our guides Jonah and Lilly were amazing, patient, fun, and always made us feel safe! When our youngest got stung by a wasp and then got stuck out on the last line, Jonah came to the rescue, retrieved him and then administered some minor first aid. Lilly was a hoot, always making us laugh. The two of them were goofy as heck and made a great team. We felt welcome and cared for and would 100% recommend!

Such a fun time! Lillie and John were my guides and did such a great job of not only making sure we were all comfortable but explaining the technical side of zip lining as we went. They kept it light and fun as we went through the course. It was awesome!

The volcanic plateaus of Upper and Lower Table Rock offer scenic trails adorned by seasonal flowers and pools, providing ample opportunities for sighting bobcats and lizards. While the hike to Upper Table Rock is shorter, it is a sight to behold during spring when wildflowers and trees bloom. The trail has several switchbacks that can be challenging at times. On the other hand, Lower Table Rock's plateau offers spectacular views but requires more effort due to its length and strenuousness.
Mind blowing views and surreal setting near Medford. Definitely worth a stop for the quick hike if you’re passing through the area. Can get a little more crowded on weekends, but once you’re at the top of the plateau there’s plenty of room to find your own way.

The hike up Upper Table Rock is not dangerous but the grade and switchbacks will burn your legs and lungs. The trail is shaded for much of the way, which is nice because it gets warm. Bring water. I enjoyed the plateau the most, for its view farmland and river, plus majestic Mount McLoughlin off in the distance.
Robert Imrie — Google review
Upper table rock is a shorter hike overall, but in the spring it is absolutely gorgeous as wildflowers and various tree's begin to bloom. It can be trying at times, as it does have a few switchbacks. Lower table rock is both longer and a tad more strenuous. However, the plateau of Lower Table Rock is vast with breathtaking views. You'll want water for both and prepare for a bit of burn (depending on your fitness level).

Hike was a bit strenuous at the top. Views are awesome. Not a fan of all the dogs.
Brett Denman — Google review
The trails are great, wide. I don't like snakes but I haven't seen any around whenever I go but they are around. I've seen lots of lizards, chipmunks, bugs, butterflies, and squirrels. The view at the top is always worth the hike. It's incredibly magnificent!! You can see the Rogue Valley for miles...even the freeway. Great for tourists and residents alike.

We so enjoy hiking table rocks, especially when the wildflowers are bloomed blooming & the pools are still there.

Fun hike for almost any age. There is an upper and lower Table Rock.

A beautiful day visiting at the Upper Table. It was a bit crowded on the trail but I don't think anyone minded...this is the easier of the two with regard to distance but the vista is equally satisfying. The terrain is a bit more rough in comparison to the Lower so hikers beware, especially on wet days. Both of these trails consistently remain on my favs list in the Rogue Valley.
