Private and protected forest woodlands, trails, wildlife, ponds, wildflowers, old growth timber and views. Unspoiled nature at its best! We are located in southern Oregon near Crater Lake NP, just off of hwy 62, part of the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, more commonly known as the "highway of waterfalls" and near the little town of Prospect on what is known as the beautiful side of Crater Lake NP. Three waterfalls, the Prospect Cafe, and the Historic Hotel are all within a two-mile radius. If you're after that famous pie at Beckie's Cafe, you are 10 minutes close.
Our 100 acre ranch allows us to host guests in their own RV's, at camp/tent sites, or in our new A-frame Cabin all located in private, and even secluded, sites. Several well maintained trails wind throughout the property and can be enjoyed by guests. Nature enthusiasts enjoy the hiking, wildlife viewing, and the beautiful ponds and woods.
Crater Lake Woodlands is part of the historic Katydid Ranch. Once owned by Boise Cascade who used it both for growing seedlings to replant logged mountain sides and as a vacation getaway for their executives, the story of Katydid Ranch goes back to the early 1900's when it's owner named "Katy" used it as the "half-way" overnight lodging for horse & buggy guests traveling to Crater Lake from the Rogue Valley. Leaving the valley at the crack of dawn, they could arrive at "Katy's" by nightfall, in time for a meal and sound mountain sleep. They'd hitch up at dawn and make it to Crater Lake by nightfall.
Historically, the first residents were the Rogue River Takelma and Latgawa native Americans. Latgawa lived in the Rogue Valley of interior southwest Oregon. In their own language "Latgawa" means "those living in the “uplands," though they were also known as the Walumskni by the neighboring Klamath tribes. Specifically, Ha-ne-sakh. The Latgawa were one of two peoples who spoke the Takelma language. They were hunters, gatherers, weavers and fished the Rogue River. They were known to have a stationary settlement and trading post at the Katydid Ranch location. Their tribes lived in the upper Rogue River area extending beyond Prospect and Union up to Crater Lake.
Since we've owned the Ranch, we've maintained the custom of welcoming overnight guests and at the same time, we continue to honor the protected wildlife designation given to it back in the 50's. Wildlife viewing is one the delights we share with our guests. Please be mindful of native wildlife keeping dogs on leash so as to avoid chasing and barking at wildlife. Thank you.
The animals here include, but are not limited to black tail deer, elk, fox, coyote, ringtailed cat, raccoon, skunk, and also typically farther up the mountain are the elusive mountain lions and black bear which we have never spotted on our property. The ponds and surrounding area are home to migratory to the Oregon Pond turtle, Canada geese, quail, wild turkeys, various owls including the great horned owls, hawks, cranes and eagles. Our pond bird watcher friends spotted Common Mergansers, Ring Necked Ducks, Canada Geese…and a Loon. The bull frogs orchestrate the evening and can be heard at times throughout the day. Katydid Ranch is a wildlife sanctuary.
The flora and fauna of the forest is abundant and diverse. This land is home to many native grasses, ferns, and berries, wild flowers, as well as many other edible and medicinal plants and numerous varieties of mushrooms. If you are visiting during blackberry season, feel free to pick, pick, pick and indulge.
Katydid trees include old growth Douglas Fir, Ponderosa, Sugar, and Jeffrey Pine, various Cedar tree varieties, Incense Cedar, the majestic Pacific Madrone, Alder, Big Leaf Maple, Black and White Oak, Dog wood, and Vine Maple. You may also spot the prolific wild hazelnuts. As Forest Stewards, we are committed to maintaining a well balanced and diverse forest ecosystem.

In 1948 a wildfire came thru what then was a mixed forest of spars old growth conifers, evergreen and deciduous broadleaf trees burning intensely enough to render the entire area to primarily grassland. Today it is quickly returning to primarily mixed forest, recovering the ability to hold water at cooler temperatures as it once did.
Nestled on the south slope of Dickinson Mountain it offers plenty of sunshine yet some of the best cool freshwater to be found anywhere. Although much of this paradise is considerably steep there are ample cow and goat trails to make exploring extremely enjoyable.
Bachelor Creek which runs thru approximately 1/2 mile of the Southeast portion is home to beaver, cutthroat, western pond turtles, great blue heron, and many other wildlife.
There is a pair of resident Redtail hawks, wild turkeys, deer, bobcat, coyote, cougar, mink, flying, silver grey, and pine squirrels, owls (sawhete, screach, Pigmy, barred, and great horned), and many others.
There are also many swimming holes on Bachelor Creek and a tributary we call Dancing creek, although they are all somewhat small the water is nice and refreshing for a quick dip on a warm day.
This is a working farm raising cattle, and chickens. On that note please don't feed any of the animals as they could become a real nuisance. If you are going to be leaving your camp for a hike or swim etc. please secure any food items to avoid a potential disaster.
The farm is 170 acres (a half mile by a half mile) and there is a fence all the way around it. Feel free to hike wherever, as long as you don't cross any fences you are still here.
You can take a dip in the creek where it comes out of the culvert below the road and there is a picnic table at each site as well as at the dipping hole.

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.

We loved the RV spot. The surrounding property was beautiful, & the river was wonderful to kayak. We paddled upstream and then floated back to camp. The bathrooms were a big treat, hot showers and cutely decorated.
Welcoming our dog off leash was a plus for us too. We will definitely return.

Amazing spot and very reasonable amenities. We tent camped and it was really nice to have toilets, hot showers, and a sink to wash our dishes! You can’t beat the 10-15 minute drive to Toketee and Watson. This area was GORGEOUS!
I loved the inclusivity of the resort and it was great to support a location who cares. We loved this campsite and would recommend to anyone wanting to tent camp, stay in a cabin/glamp, or bring an RV. Keep being awesome Upmqua’s last resort!

This place is incredible!
I booked very last minute, and I showed up after dark, which I would not recommend. That said, they had a fire going for me and the wife even ran out to help me find the campsite. This was a last minute, emotional solo trip for me and it's exactly what I needed. This place is beautiful. They have solar lights everywhere, a porta potty, a hand washing sink, and the views are beautiful. They have put thought into everything. I can't wait for the site that's along the ridge to be ready & open, but I would stay in the one that I was at again in a heartbeat.
Thank you for all of your hospitality and for sharing your beautiful land with me!
This was just a quick stop over solo trip for me, but I will be back with my little boys to enjoy this beauty!

Overview
About
Spread out over nearly a million acres on the western side of the Cascade Mountain Range, Umpqua National Forest is home to some of Oregon's most spectacular examples of natural beauty, including one of the state's biggest attractions: crystalline Crater Lake. Here you'll find a mix of rolling hills, thick woodlands, powerful rivers, and plenty of waterfalls. While the forest’s abundance of beauty is certainly reason enough to visit, it’s also a prime setting for plenty of outdoor activity, from hiking, mountain biking, and good old camping, to kayaking and fishing in the region’s lakes and waterways.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for active campers: Diamond Lake Campground offers hundreds of campsites, plus boat ramps, showers, cycling trails, and a fish-cleaning station.
- Best for fishing trips: Hemlock Lake Campground gives anglers easy access to excellent trout fishing at Hemlock Lake.
- Best for a ghost town experience: Devil’s Flat Campground offers three campsites next to a century-old ranger cabin and horse barn.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Reservable sites, including cabins and yurts, can be reserved up to six months in advance over the phone or on the National Forest Service website. Note that new sites are released at 7am Pacific, and popular spots can fill up almost instantly.
- Arrive early, and if possible mid-week. Many Umpqua National Forest campsites are made available on a first-come, first-served basis. You’ll have your best chances snagging a site if you can arrive on a Wednesday or Thursday, before the weekend rush.
- Ask at the ranger’s station about last-minute cancellations or suggestions. Rangers tend to have a good idea about availability during crowded times and are there to help.
When to go
The Umpqua National Forest is at its busiest during the summer vacation months (mid-June through early September), though you may find snow at the grounds in higher elevations well into July. If you want to beat the crowds but still take advantage of warmer and dryer weather, consider coming during the week after Labor Day, after kids have gone back to school. Just be aware that this is also wildfire season, and last-minute closures are a possibility.
Know before you go
- Fire danger in the Umpqua National Forest is a real threat, particularly in the dry, hot, summer months. Keep an eye out for advisories and keep in mind that bans on campfires and the use of camp stoves may be in place during your stay.
- Don’t rely on your GPS alone. It’s a good idea to plan your route before you head out, and to double check with the forest service about any road closures due to snow, landslides, or planned maintenance.
- Bring plenty of water. Many sites in the Umpqua National Forest are primitive and you may not have access to potable water.

We stayed just up the road from here at the group site called Steamboat Ball Field. It’s a very rustic site with an open field and a picnic shelter. Surrounded by a lush and vibrant green old-growth forest, this is a great place for a family reunion or large gathering. Be warned though, it fills up quick! You must reserve many months in advance, but it’s worth it. About 20 miles East is Umpqua Hot Springs, the perfect day trip from this spot. It has 8 hot pools cascading over a cliff into the Umpqua River, much like an infinity pool. This place is busy too, so avoid peak times, but do make the journey as it is a truly magical place.

Across the road from the falls. The picnic area can get very busy in the summer, mostly used by locals.

Very quiet location and very close to Crater Lake National Park. You will be right on a recreational lake, did a walk-in around noon and plenty of open spots in late July.

Camped here on a road trip from California. Visited Crater lake and headed to this campsite on my way to Portland the next day. Wow was I blown away by the beauty, the sunrise was unreal. I woke up to a gigantic mountain with fresh snow on top. The campsite was easy to find with great bathrooms and showers.

Heavily wooded, spaced out campsites make this place special. You get privacy, and if you aren't lucky enough to get a campsite on the lake it's a short walk from all the campsites. Make sure to get there before check-in closes around 8 though, and it is a drive to get to the showers. Very close to crater lake, but if you enter at popular times there is a car backup at the entryway. Would recommend!

Insane amounts of mosquitos. Jumping in the (kindof gross) lake was the only escape!
We got lucky and got the last spot here on a Saturday on a summer afternoon. Nice sites. Tons of RVs...expect the hum of generators to cut through the serenity of nature starting around 7:30am.
Very good hiking nearby. Definitely not a bad spot to pitch a tent for a night or two.

We were on a driving mission down the PCH and finding camp spots along the way. Nestled amongst the trees Horseshoe Bend was a special kind of campground; quiet, foresty, with only the sound of the river running through. There's nothing fancy about this campground, but it does have decent fire pits and picnic tables to put on a good camp dinner.

The mosquitos will literally eat you alive during the summer here. The marshes and creeks that surround the lake make perfect grounds for the vermin. Make sure to bring plenty of repellant.
