Ophir, OR

Yesterday, Wednesday, we headed South down the 101 highway and a short 75 mile 1.5 hour run to Gold Beach.

We did run into some coastal fog (marine layer) as we approched the area so not much of a view of the Pacific. Tomorrow should be better.

Very nice campground with great features for their guests including direct access to the beach (under the highway) only a 5 minute walk.

We will be here until the 20th 

Honey Bear Campground and RV Resort

Honey Bear Campground and RV Resort is located approximately 9 miles north of Gold Beach, OR, just off of Highway 101. We are located about 60 miles north of the California border in what has been nicknamed the 'Banana Belt' of the Oregon Coast.

Gold Beach, a small coastal town of about 2,000 people, is located at the intersection of the Pacific Ocean and the Rogue River, and is very beautiful and picturesque. Closer to us is the small community of Nesika Beach which has gasoline and a community store.

Rainfall in our area averages about 80 inches a year, almost all of which falls between December and March.

Located on the sunny Southern Oregon coast near Gold Beach, this well-established full service 100 acre Campground and RV Resort offers many ammenities.

Enjoy secluded sites with ocean views (year round), live entertainment 5 nights a week (during the season), and family style evening meals Wednesday thru Saturday (during the season).

At Honey Bear Campground you have an opportunity to eat freshly prepared German food. Dinner is served in a large dining room. Guests need to be seated by 6 p.m. and then will each serve themselves at the buffet. The menu varies each night. Meals will usually cost between $13.95 and $15.95. Great German food in an invigorating community atmosphere! Live music is performed each evening. Beer and wine are available.

At the campground lodge they have a miniature deli that shows off well the little bit of Deutschland that they have recreated from their Black Forest Kitchen.

All meats in the deli are made in their Black Forest Kitchen. The meats include jagdwurst, knackwurst, bratwurst, Black Forest ham, honey cured bacon, pepper sticks, German wieners, braunschweiger and hard salami, polish sausage, Westphalia ham, blutwurst, and head cheese.

They also make their own sauerkraut, breads and import German mustards, breads, and desserts.

You will also find German Chocolates, and Jams, and Cakes.
