River access along the Applegate draws anglers and paddlers to this dispersed camping area within Rogue River National Forest. The US Forest Service manages these drive-in sites where campers can set up along the waterway without formal amenities or designated spots.
Visitors typically use this location as a launching point for river activities or as an overnight stop while exploring the broader forest system. The Watkins campground sits just over a mile north for those preferring developed facilities with restrooms and picnic tables.
