The best dog-friendly RV parks in Southern Oregon

Southern Oregon flies under the radar, but insiders know that this region is packed with hidden gems. From Crater Lake to the Applegate lavender fields, there’s a surprise at every turn. The Rogue River runs through it all, providing world-class rafting.

The magic starts at Oregon’s many state parks. Near Grants Pass, Valley of the Rogue State Park is ideal for families. Here, you can camp year-round in tent sites or an RV park with full hookups. History buffs love Collier Memorial State Park, which is known for its logging museum.

When it comes to water activities, Southern Oregon shines. Enjoy a morning swim from your campsite at Emigrant Lake County Park near Ashland. Or, rent a kayak at Jackson F. Kimball State Recreation Site and paddle the shockingly clear lagoon. Don’t forget the Rogue River; paddle to wild campsites like the beautiful Flora Dell.

Then, there’s the iconic blue Crater Lake National Park. Explore this collapsed volcano on foot in the summer. In the winter, you can cross-country ski around the rim.

For something totally different, head to the Oregon Coast. A short drive from Brookings and the California border, Harris Beach State Park offers gorgeous ocean views. Hike the rocky cliffs, swim at Sandy beaches, and top it all off with a hot shower. Choose a basic hiker/biker site, or warm up in a heated yurt.

Beautiful property close to Crater Lake National Park. The Wood River runs through it. The 28 acres is mostly undeveloped, but there are a few houses and a restroom outbuilding. Bring your kids, bring your dogs; enjoy the beautiful setting. We have a few kayaks, or there are rental kayaks available nearby. NOTE: Please be aware that the mosquitos can be very bad here at times. Power has recently been going out more frequently due to the Pacific Power's "advanced safety settings". When the power is out the well pump is out, so there is no water. I am happy to provide buckets of river water for "flushing toilets" and pay for showers at the Klamoya Travel Center. I will not be giving refunds for a situation over which I have no control.

1 night at Forested creekside campsite

It was conveniently located just off I5 as stated by others. We had a quiet & peaceful night and morning. There is a nice little walking path that my dog appreciated. The bridge lights weren't on which kinda bummed me out as I would have liked to see it lit up, but I was glad they were off as soon as we settled in. Shower was disconnected for winter, but I love the idea and want to borrow it on my own property! I didn't use the firepit, but it would be nice for a group. The campsite isn't totally level and is down a steepish hill. If there was a lot of snow I might be concerned about getting out. All in all we had a great 1 night stay and it was exactly what we hoped for when booking.

I loved the sound of the creek and ran into a doe and two of her fawns in the morning. This will be even more beautiful during the summer. I went in the late autumn.

Marcus’s property is absolutely beautiful. Easy to access down a gravel road, nice flat and wide site for our 26 foot Class C with a slide, stunning surroundings, super private and quiet. We loved everything about it and can’t wait to come back.

Close to the main road but very quiet. Nice ambience with the string lights and sounds of the creek. Saw a few deer during my stay. Happened to be rainy during my stay but the big trees offered some cover and the covered bridge was another nice place to stay dry. Bathroom was clean.

I loved this site! The covered bridge provides so much atmosphere, and it was so quiet, despite being such a short drive off the interstate.

Very comfortable and beautiful campsite. Don't forget a sleeping pad like me! Unless you have a hammock, you'll be pitching a tent on (level) gravel! On-site porta potty and propane shower, as well as a propane fire pit.

The space was gorgeous arriving after dark, (though make sure you bring enough lighting, the stairs can be a trip hazzard if youre not careful) and absolutely beautiful to explore in the morning. My pup loved the close creek access, the beautiful bridge, and the fun little nature trail. The facilities were clean and though I didnt have time to use the shower it was nice to have available! Private, safe, beautiful, and exactly the stop we needed on our drive north this year! We will be back! Thanks Marcus for being so responsive and helpful answering questions, the descriptions were thorough and helpful! My last piece of advice is just check for gravel in your tires as you leave, I had a little trouble with some extra sharp ones getting stuck on my way out.

This is one of the best settings (creek, spacious, PRIVATE, charming, clean, fire pit, large picnic table, warm shower, cleanest toilet) and it is beautiful. The covered bridge is cool and super sweet lit up at night. You are also not far from Grants Pass to treat yourself to a meal. We are foodies. We had breakfast at Ma Mosa’s on our way out of town. Highly recommend (if you go on the weekend plan for a possible hour wait- it is worth it). Marcus was friendly and checked-in to make sure we had what we needed.

I enjoyed how private the campsite was and how open and level the area was to set up camp. It was extremely well kept and the fire pit is a must add. I recommend this site to anyone coming into the area.

We had a pleasant, but short stay at Marcus's spot. It's a sweet little spot right on the river not far from I-5. It's in an in-between spot on I-5. Great place to take a break from the road without having to interact with , we'll, anyone! Highly recommend. Be sure to bring your own chairs to sit on.

This is our second stay here and we love it. It is very secluded and private. Our dogs love the creek and there is enough area for them to explore. The bridge is very cool and there is a nice path across the creek for a short walk. This spot is off the beaten path yet very close to Grants Pass. It was nice to have the outdoor shower and there is a porta potty if needed. Marcus is a great host. This will always be our spot when we come to Grants Pass!

Amazing spot! The kids loved petting all the farm animals, and Anna even made them snowcones! The campsite was clean and comfortable, and the water was fantastic — there’s even a natural rock slide that flows into a beautiful swimming hole. We brought our floaties and had the best time. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you Huddy and Anna!

Nice clean site, easily accessed from Hwy 5. It was the perfect place to spend the night as I traveled along the 5. Marcus is a welcoming host. The covered bridge is a bonus and my dog loved playing in the creek on a warm afternoon. Just lovely.

This is a beautiful, quiet spot close to Crater Lake National Park. The bathrooms are clean, and we had access to everything we needed. There are mosquitoes and flies, but we came prepared and just ate our meals in our camper. We will keep this in mind for our next trip to this area.
