The park and campground are dominated by Humbug Mountain (elevation 1,756 feet) and surrounded by forested hills. The campground enjoys some of the warmest weather on the Oregon coast as the surrounding mountains offer protection from cool ocean breezes. Many visitors enjoy windsurfing and scuba diving. Hiking to the top of Humbug Mountain is a major activity.

Located in the southern part of Oregon, along Highway 101 and near Port Orford, this natural reserve is known for its lush coastal forest that surrounds a peak rising directly from the Pacific Ocean. The park's history dates back to prehistoric times when it was inhabited by Native American tribes.

The mountain itself has had several names throughout history. It was initially called "Tichenat's Mountain" after an early explorer who attempted but failed to establish a fur trading post nearby in 1828-29. Later on, during California Gold Rush era (1849), prospectors named it "Sugarloaf Mountain". However, they were disappointed not finding any gold here which led them to rename it as 'Humbug' expressing their frustration -a term used at that time referring something deceptive or false.
