Campsite at Harris Beach State Park
Our rig, parked in one of the RV sites at Harris Beach State Park, Brookings, Oregon. This is a beautiful park located on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
All of the photographs in this gallery were taken in April, 2018, at Harris Beach State Park, located in Brookings, Oregon, on the Pacific coast just north of the California border.
