Humbug Mountain State Park

Humbug Mountain State Park is a coastal park in Curry County featuring a 1,756-foot peak surrounded by dense forest. Multiple trail systems lead through the woodland to the summit and connect to beach areas along the shore.

Land for the park was acquired in the 1920s, with major development occurring during the 1930s through the Civilian Conservation Corps. Their work established trails and facilities that visitors still use today.

The mountain received its name from an early exploration party who called it Tichenor's Humbug after a confusing navigation incident.

The campground has sites with electrical hookups and tent-only options, plus hot showers and restroom facilities available. A dedicated area serves hikers and cyclists who need basic overnight accommodations.

The surrounding mountains create a natural barrier that shelters this coastal section and makes it warmer than neighboring areas. This pocket of milder climate supports vegetation and conditions you would not expect to find so far north on the Oregon coast.
