We arrived around 7 on a Friday due to heavy traffic. Quick check in, we had reserved site 5 but they had several vacancies and suggested a better spot, so we took 14 instead. It was lovely! Up a small hill to the river, where we played fisher people and caught an orange leaf. Dog chased ball in the field, bathroom facilities are decent. It’s a scenic 30-40 minute drive into town.

Conforme à l'annonce. Endroit en pleine nature. Seul bémol le bruit du générateur jusqu'à 22h. Peut être qu'on l'entend moins si on est plus long sur le camping.

This place is awesome! We had the whole place to ourselves! No campfires allowed but didn’t bother me a bit! The hosts are really cool too!

It was a great visit. Very conveniently located in a super cute small community about 20 minutes off the I5 Fwy. I didn't get to spend a lot of time there but it was a beautiful view in the morning and seemed like a nice place to hang out for a bit.

Large group sites were perfect for multi family camping weekend. Shade trees help during heat of the day and river fishing/swimming were perfect for our kids. Recommend Kayak or float to access best water for fishing

The camp is exactly what they say it is: Primitive. Not dry camping, tho. Flush toilets and showers are located near the entrance, and appear to be near new construction and are kept clean and stocked. Individual sites are rather large. Water spigots are located around the park. The price per night is fair. We enjoyed the ripe blackberries that were in season and many of the sites are right on the Smith River.
With only one location for showers and toilets near the entrance, it can be a hike to get to them from the far end. Maybe 200 yards from the furthest sites, so pay attention to the map. It seems only certain sites are available on HipCamp, as only 8 or so were listed as available to us, but there were many, many more vacancies during our stay. A few pull thru's are available. The site competes with two BLM free, first come, first serve dry campsites that seem to draw more campers. But, the showers, flush toilets and water for us tent campers was worth the price.
The camp host, who was not Jared, was very friendly and helpful. We both agreed it the right choice for us, and would stay there again.

Our group of 3 adults, 1 kid and 3 dogs all had the best time camping on James' land! The sunsets were incredible, and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. We used the RV site with full hookups as well as the tent campsite below. We enjoyed how spacious and peaceful the land and surroundings were, and especially loved seeing the neighbor's horses. Our first night there, the sky was clear, and we got treated to a spectacular sky full of stars. I've been to Klamath and Central Oregon recently, but this was the most stars I'd seen in years! While I wish we'd had more time to explore the beautiful surroundings, we sure made the most of our weekend trip, with s'mores on the propane fire pit to cooling off in the Calapooia River. The neighboring town of Brownsville was featured in the film, "Stand By Me"! I recommend bringing your own propane, unless you'd like to buy a very expensive tank from Dari Mart. We had a great experience camping here, 10/10.

We actually moved to site 18 that was recommended to us. Short walk to the serene river. Very quiet location. Directions had not been sent to us. So we traveled some challenging roads to get there. Don’t follow Google maps! Get directions from host. Good clean bathhouse.

Great spot along the Umpqua with river access for fishing or relaxing. My boys caught a couple of bass while we were there. Cornhole set up was nice. Definitely hot, but can cool off in the river. Highly recommend.

We truly enjoyed ourselves with friends. We recommend the RV area with 30 amp. Plenty of space for more than 1 camp trailer even tho we were happy to be the only ones there. Dogs loved being off leashes and going down to the water. Water was warm. There is a place to put your chairs out to enjoy the sun. We will be back soon.

We enjoyed camping with our friends. The dogs loved being able to roam about. We took advantage of the 30 amp hookup which we haven't used since we bought our camp trailer. The water was warm and able to paddle board. The place on the water was a great place to sunbathe. We have the place to ourselves except for tent campers whom never bothered us. We will be back! Thanks Brent...

This is a awesome place for a group to camp! There were 12 of us and was room for more. We got to put tents up on the platform, the trees are perfect hammock trees. We were able to spend our days at the river right down the road and our nights watching the Stars with a awesome view.
We set up our camp in the tent area which is down a gravel road from the electricity and dumping for RVs. It's a little bit farther away than I was expecting based on the pictures but we just set everything up down there and with some extension cords there was no problem. We had a couple of issues with small cars getting up and down that hill, but the on-site owner let us use the driveway to bail out the one that could not make it back up. There are lots of fun things to explore, including a treehouse, zip line, swings, friendly goats next door, bats, birds and the occasional curious yellow jacket. We appreciated the privacy and the ability to have a great time without worrying about other campers. Would definitely recommend and we will be coming back next year!

This was a great place to hang out for the weekend. The setup was a little different than what I expected but it worked out great. We loved having plenty of space and hookups for both RVs we had. We loved the grassy tent area but wished it was a little closer to the RV area. We found a little swimming hole 5-10 minutes away that was perfect for cooling off and having some fun...and while technically within walking distance, if you had any inflatables and chairs, it may prove a little more difficult than just driving there. There was a neighborhood dog that barked most of the night...not anything the host can do but something to be aware of. Overall, this was a great place and we highly recommend. James was great with communication and his dad was available anytime during the weekend if we needed anything. Would definitely rent again.
