Creekside Campground

4 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Rogue River, OR

Hi we’re Lindsay and Tommy, we are in our third season of being Hipcamp hosts and we want to share our beautiful property with campers looking for a quiet, cozy, family oriented experience. We took our love for the outdoors to the next level a few years ago when we moved out to the country. We think we found a gem of a spot on Evans Creek in Southern Oregon. Our years of camping adventures in dispersed countryside, state parks filled to capacity, and private campgrounds has given us a unique appreciation for the outdoors and an outlook on family camping you just might enjoy. We always enjoyed the camaraderie and kindness that we found with fellow campers; so we just figured, why not make our own campsites and share them with like minded folks and families. We love it here, and we hope you will too. In this third year we have made some changes to our campground. We have removed site #3 because in order to offer a truly different campground experience, we want to limit the amount of campers that are here and by removing this site, the remaining sites all are neighbor free. Enjoy your campfire, enjoy your view, enjoy some space to yourself. We feel that less people in the camp ground is easier for families as well. Hope you enjoy your camp spot! We are located in Evans Valley just 5 miles off interstate 5. Our Property boasts of mature shade trees along Evans Creek, tranquil locations on the creek bed and a plethora of wildlife year round. Our secure, family friendly location is perfect for a road trip stop over or as a base camp for your other Southern Oregon Adventures. All sites have their own access to the Creek - so no one will be going through your site, and all campers have access to the common areas without going through your site either...so rest easy, and relax at the Creekside Campground. -Things to know before booking- Our mission is to provide a safe, quiet, fun, and family friendly camping experience. Please review the rules section carefully and make sure the experience you are looking for lines up with what we are offering. Drunken behavior, drug use, and partying are not part of what we offer and that behavior will be removed immediately (luckily, we have not had this situation, we just like to be very clear on our expectations.) Swimming Hole! Our property has one of the best private swimming holes on Evans creek and stays cool most of the summer (depending on mother nature); the creek is always a favorite to put your chain in and relax with your feet in the water. Shallow and deep areas are fun for all age groups. Watch out for wildlife! Elk, deer, eagles, heron, turtles, ducks, and geese (to name a few) are regulars to your campsite. A covered wash station is provided for giving those wiped out dishes a final rinse. Water spigots with delicious well water are provided at each camp spot. Trash can and a porta-potty (serviced regularly) is tucked away in the common area. Horseshoes is set up for anyone to enjoy, and feel free to bring your own yard game activities. Our large open meadow, available for all of our campers, is about an acre of fun for stargazing, softball, bocci ball, frisbee, catch, and hanging out. Also we have a shady game area set up next to the meadow under the oaks with corn hole, giant jenga and some water misters to beat the heat - enjoy as you will! All sites have the option to add a tent and additional people, just check out the "extras" when booking. If you want to keep up to date with all things happening at the Creekside Campground, like special events, projects, upgrades, and of course wildlife be sure to follow us on Instagram @creekside_hosts Whether your floating the Rogue, wine tasting, mountain biking, ziplining, or passing through on a family vacation, we have the safe, spacious, campsite for you, your friends, and family. Hope to meet you soon.

Serene Spot for Design Lovers

2 sites · RVs, Tents7 acres · Jacksonville, OR

When I closed my Glamping Business in Big Sur, CA, in 2016 I was looking for a new place to call home and the universe told me to check out Southern Oregon. Being German, I fell in love with the Applegate Valley because it reminds me of the German Alp Region of Algovia ("Allgaeu"). We are a tiny community here on my 7 acres of land including a couple of sweet dogs. My favorite spot ever since I discovered this property has been the barn and I have finished renovating it during Covid Lockdown. I am looking forward to hosting people who love nature and the quiet, who would like to unplug from the urban bustle and who have a passion for design and unconventional living spaces. I think you will love staying here and enjoying the amenities that are waiting for you. I look forward to welcoming you! Learn more about this land: Mountain Views on Private Property in the Heart of the Applegate Valley. Only minutes drive from restaurants, Canytrall Buckley Park with River Access, The Applegate Lake (Swimming, Paddleboarding), Hiking Trails, Wineries, a small supermarket and a famous paragliding spot. Come park your camper van or trailer on my 7 acre property. I am an Interior Designer and have converted the former mule Barn into an Outdoor Summer Living Space with dining room, living room, kitchen and patio. Attached to the barn are an outdoor shower with hot water as well as a composting toilet. Al Fresco Dining, Showers in the Sunset and occasional outdoor movie nights are waiting for you here on the Hill in the beautiful Applegate Valley. If you play the guitar, feel free to bring it along, we have had fun times with small gatherings in the evenings on the patio. Please note: I live here and so you will see me around daily, usually I tend the gardens or you can find me around the barn. However, I will respect your privacy! The dogs who live on the property are usually free roaming and they will for sure come visit you, they are all friendly. I am emphasizing this, because if you are scared of dogs, are not used to dogs or do not like dogs, my place (unfortunately) might not be the right spot for you :-(.

Crater Lake Private Woodlands

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Prospect, OR

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, a pizza parlor, 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.

The best camping near Valley of the Rogue State Park guide

Overview

About

Sandwiched between the Rogue River and Interstate 5, the compact Valley of the Rogue State Park offers camping, hiking, and easy access to Southern Oregon's Rogue River, a favorite for fishing and rafting. The Valley of the Rogue State Campground offers a mix of RV sites, tent sites, and yurts, plus group camping areas that can accommodate up to 25 people each. It's also a good jumping-off point for exploring area parks and attractions, and is only a 15-minute drive from the optical illusions at the Oregon Vortex.

Tips for snagging a campsite

The 157 sites and eight yurts at Valley of the Rogue State Park can be reserved online or over the phone through Oregon State Parks. Slots open at 6am, six months in advance, and can be booked up to a day in advance.
Last-minute reservations are sometimes available in person, on a first-come, first-served basis. Be prepared to show up early, and to potentially have to wait for a site to open up.
If you don’t have a lot of flexibility, you can set an availability alert online for specific sites and dates.

When to go

The campground is at its busiest between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when temperatures are at their warmest and rainfall is less likely. Rafting in the area is particularly popular in July and August, due to a combination of warm, dry weather and lower water levels. September still tends to stay pretty warm and dry, at least until the end of the month, and visiting in mid-September isn’t a bad idea if you want to beat crowds but still catch good weather.

Know before you go

You can get basic groceries and supplies in Gold Hill, a 10-minute drive from the campground, or do a more extensive shop in the city of Grants Pass, a 15-minute drive away.
The campground office is open on the opposite side of the I-5 from the park and walking there takes about half an hour (though it's only a three-minute drive away). Hours are limited, so it’s wise to call ahead.
Pets on leashes are welcome, and four of the yurts are pet-friendly.
