3 nights at River Ranch Campground

We absolutely love Cathryn's beautiful hipcamp on the Umpqua River in Roseburg. We went in late October so the weather was chilly and it rained a lot but we made the best of it. We had the entire campground to ourselves and just a few steps away from the most breathtaking river scene. My son enjoyed fishing and saw many huge salmon but unfortunately he didn't catch one next time perhaps. We have a 31ft RV and our friends had a smaller RV there are no hookups but that's how we love and enjoy camping. It is very peaceful with wild turkeys that ventured into our camps. There are no strict rules on dogs off leash which are pups love to explore and run around and frolic in the water it was amazing. Cathryn came by once to introduce herself and to answer any questions that we may have had. She also mentioned that they are going to do some improvements to the camp to get down to the water more accessible. Its all a work in process but it's beautiful just the way it is. We can't wait to book for the summer because there are many deep pools there to swim in. The only suggestion that I would have would be to move the front gate further down so that when you pull out of the gate you're not on the main road where it could potentially be dangerous. To be honest I really don't want to say too many great things about this place lol because we would love it to remain a secret 😜 It is definitely in the books for springtime. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

Lovely site. Lots of options we found a site under the Hawthorne trees need the river. We pretty much had the place to ourselves, it might be less desirable if there more campers. Some sites are a little too open for my taste esp since it was quite warm the day we arrived. Porta potty was very clean. River access clearly marked and a dip in the cold water made the heat more bearable.

We loved this place! The natural beauty of the land and river is just fantastic. We made camp right by the river access trail. It was a very hot day and after a long drive, the river was a delightful way to cool off! We along with our dog swam and played in the water for quite a while decompressing from the day’s journey. Cathryn came and welcomed us and made sure we felt at home. We will definitely come back on our way up north. This was a perfect spot for our sprinter van as access was very easy.

This place reminded me of why I bought my camper van: solitude and natural beauty. This former orchard (pear?) right along the Umpqua River was nearly empty and wonderfully quiet. Oddly enough, someone drove in at 10:30 pm, camped sort of nearby, and drove off before we woke up. Other than that, it was perfect.
