  Ashland's Creekside Campground & RV Park

  Great price, good vibe, loud road, bad showers

  Good points: I think this is the cheapest campground with amenities near Ashland, only $27.50/night for a tent site with a water pump. The place didn't feel sketchy at all- although there are clearly some long term residents, it feels well-run and family friendly. Wifi was surprisingly fast and reached all the way over to the tent sites, and there is a place near the bathrooms to wash dishes. All tent sites were shady with large blackberry bushes providing privacy on three sides.

  The not-so-good: the tent sites have a road right behind them that's often busy and loud. The showers in the women's restroom have unbelievably poor water pressure, and the water temp fluctuated from boiling to freezing for no reason unless you twitched the dial just right. Also, there's no place to hang a hammock near the tent sites but that's just a quibble.

  Klamath Falls KOA

  Too CROWDED!

  Extremely pricey, tent sites are entirely too close together to be comfortable.

  Hawk's Nest Tionesta RV & Cabins

  Great campsite!

  This campsite is nestled in the forest away from the highway. It has cabins, RV, and tent camping available. There is a new playground for children. When you stay, a free shower is included. The bathrooms are regular flushing toilets with showers in the room and outlets if you need to blowdry your hair. The attendant on the grounds is very nice and friendly. We arrived late (9pm) and she was able to assist us with getting settled. There is a small shop next to the office. You can also book your lot reservation online. I'll include a picture of the map of the area. For those tent camping, bring a tarp for your tent to sit on. It's a dirt, rock, and pine needles area. In the morning, you'll hear song birds.

  Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

  Excellent even in the Rain

  Stayed in a tent site for some car camping. The sites are well spaced out and offer a lot of privacy. Tons of amenities. Showers are free!

  Beautiful spot at the foot of Mt. Shasta! Lovely little town I’ve stayed here twice now once in April and once in august. They have four tent camping sites with electric hookup and fancy seating among many other types of sites

  Amazing camp site

  The tent sites are right by the lake and are so so pretty. The hosts are super friendly and the store has everything you need. Would definitely come back in the future.

  Friendly RV Park

  Good for RV…

  , but it appears as though the folks in their RVs were happy as could be so I would say for tent camping if you’re actually camping, not so much but in an RV it’s probably fine anyway, the people were very nice and took care of us

  Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

  Pretty fun

  Nice, lots of amenities. Minus one star because of the cold shower that should have been hot. Other than that, the beach is nice, the tent sites are nice. A bit bustling busy during the summer, great for kids

  Relaxation in the trees

  Cute town and peaceful campground. Clean bathrooms and showers. Pool, game room, shuffle board, basketball court and off leash dog park. Lots of trees in the sites great for hammocking (in the tent sites). I would definitely stay here again.

  Emigrant Lake Recreation Area - Oak Slope Campground

  Nice experience

  Emigrant Lake may not be your destination if you are looking for a lot of privacy and quiet, but is a nice option to get out in nature while still being close to town. Oak Slope has some spots that can be fairly private, with nice tent camping amenities and easy access to the lakeside.

  one of my favorites

  relaxed atmosphere and reasonably priced for car and tent camping, plus camping fees include access to the rejuvenating sulphur-rich hot spring pool, swimming pool and sauna. this is right in the Ashland/Medford metro area so is very convenient for travel days when you have things to do in town. also hosts interesting events like yoga classes and live music!

  Fish Lake Resort

  Close quarters

  Fish Lake reaper is located on the beautiful Fish Lake. We had a tent site and it was huge! However limited privacy. This is definetly a RV campground. You will be right next to your neighbor. However, the staff are friendly and the restaurant was good. They even had live music.

  Awesome place!

  This is a great place to stay that has all you could need! Cell reception, WiFi, pool, hot tub, Ashland is like 5 minutes away, restrooms, even a sauna! Clothing is optional in the pool area let at night so be aware if you’re not into that or have kids. tent sites aren’t separated meaning you pitch your tent in an area where everyone else does. Other than that, I Highly recommend!

  Rocky Point Resort

  Peaceful crater lake site

  We came in mid march so they were still technically in their “off season”. All the staff I spoke to were very kind and helpful. There was no one else tent camping so we had the whole area to ourselves. Since it was the off season the store, bathroom and restaurant were closed but it’s still a really nice area to camp. It also had good cell reception. Only thing is that it was buggy when we were there.

  Klamath Falls KOA

  Klamath Overnight

  Klamath Falls KOA is a good stop over place on your way to Crater Lake. This KOA has all the amenities that you expect from a KOA. I especially like the pool on a hot day. It has a few unique cabins that seem like a fun place to stay along with a few tent camping spots. 

  There's a shopping center within a 10 min walk from the campground that has a grocery and sporting goods store along a pizza, BBQ and Thai restaurant. 

  Cell Service: Good

  Klamath Falls KOA

  Great campground in the middle of the city

  Want to be close to town for a night. This KOA is well kept, has a small store, gas station and propane. Also offers a clean pool and restroom. Camp sites are nice wirh green grass. There are also tent camping and cabins for rent. Be aware of midges, found by the water in these parts of Oregon (koa is by a canal). They don't bite, but are annoying and look like a mosquito. This KOA is close to stores, to refill groceries, restaurants and the Amazing Crater Lake and Lava beds National Parks.

  Tree Of Heaven Campground

  Klamath River Camping

  Named for a unique tree that grows here, Tree of Heaven Campground is a sweet little spot. I had tent site right on the river and nearly had the place to myself. Basically it’s set up as a loop with a large grassy area and restrooms in the middle, and a put in spot for rafters up near the larger beach. Peak summer months are very warm and ticks are plentiful, especially in the grassy areas.

  Topsy Campground

  Great Site nice and queit

  My family and I stayed a couple nights and we had a very relaxing time. The pier close by was perfect for Bass fishing. Not alot of boat activity which was nice. Tent camp areas were a decent size. We did see a few RV spots being used as well with hook ups. Lots of Hiking available and the owners are nice. They keep the sites clean and are very helpful if you need anything. Their water comes in daily so they say try not to wash dishes or use excessive amounts. Would recommend for a quick trip.

  Lake Siskiyou Camp Resort

  Everything you could want!

  Truly and amazing place! I’m looking forward to going back after Covid. We met our family half way and wanted a campground we could all find easily. It’s a bit pricey but for the convenience it was well worth it! Tent sites are huge and so is the campground! We stayed pretty far away from the beach and we were all by ourselves! Might try some of the dispersed camping in the area and use the campground day use and store next time?

  Nice Pools, Skip the camping

  The pools are nice to soak and the general vibe is good. The campground is old and worn down which I don't mind much, but it is junky feeling. There are many long term residents with lots of junk in their spaces. Some are decked out with a creative spirit other are just garbage. The playground has lots of old degrading riding toys and tent camping is basically a field. We had an RV site with partial hookups and it was barely maintained. We ended up leaving a day early.

  Three stars for the pool on its own.

  Lake of The Woods Resort

  Beauty Everywhere!

  I first came here with my family back in the 1970’s and had such a great time I couldn’t help coming back for a visit all these years later, gladly much hasn’t changed. The resort is rustic and beautiful and everything you need. The lake is right there and the views are spectacular. Some tent sites are steps away from the shore, and other sites have hook ups for rigs. This is a great jump off spot to Klamath Falls & Crater Lake or just short drives to explore the surroundings.

  Railroad Park Resort

  Many different accommodations

  General: There are tent sites, partial hookups, and full hookup sites, as well as cabins and cabooses that can accommodate either couples or families. It was pouring when we were there, so we opted to stay in a caboose! There is also a dining car

  Site Quality: The camping sites are nestled among the trees; some are pull-throughs and others are back-in (mostly the tent sites). Most of the sites appeared level, but not all of them (beware of Site 34). The pull-throughs in the center are less private (but I believe these are the ones with full hookups). The best sites in my opinion are the ones that back up to Little Castle Creek. Especially after a good rain, you can be lulled to sleep by the sound of the rushing creek! 

  Bathhouse: Keypad entry so I was not able to see the inside (we stayed in a caboose and therefore did not have entry). There are showers and also a very nice laundry facility. 

  Activities: There is a pool in season and also a hot tub that was open when we were there. It is covered but it was cold and rainy, so we didn’t try it out. There is a short hike at nearby Hedge Creek Falls and you are close to Mount Shasta. 

  We stayed here 25 years ago in a caboose with our daughters, and it was nice to see the place has been kept up nicely. We would definitely return and stay in the campground next time (weather permitting).

  Trailer Lane Campground

  Home Sweet Home

  The first time we saw Trailer Lane it took our breath away. A quaint little old campground tucked into the forests of Siskiyou County, with the most spectacular views of Mount Shasta from its chaparral covered hilltop, we felt like we had found a hidden gem.

  We've spent the past 2 years updating and upgrading the campground, adding tent sites and a camp store, unlimited Starlink WiFi, game courts, glamping units, community fire pit, gardens and hobby farm... our guests really seem to be loving the homey atmosphere and say that it's the perfect place to stop & stay a while. We hope that you do too! -Karen & Jay

  Ashland's Creekside Campground & RV Park

  Undergoing Improvements

  At highway 66 near Ashland this park has both RV and tent sites. The RV sites are full/partial hook up (30 amp only) and dry camping. Note though that even if you pay for partial or dry you will still need to pay $10/dump your tanks. We opted for just full hook ups here. The tent sites are near the creek.

  There was some work being done that appear to be some upgrades. There is a nice pool area, a pond and the creek. The sites are level with picnic tables and fire pits. There are bathrooms, free hot showers, laundry, dog run, playground and store. Also available is propane ($3.50/gallon) book exchange and ice. Wifi was fast and free.

  The road noise is noticeable but not too bad. Some of the spots can be close but for a night it wasn't bad. Pets are allowed on leash only but there were a couple of loose dogs running around so be aware. 

  NOTE: Google tells you to turn on the street (Neil Creek Rd) just after the park so if you have a big rig then turning around could be difficult. Keep an eye out for the campground and turn into it directly from the main road instead.

  All the office and maintenance staff were friendly and helpful and neighbors were friendly and quiet.  We didn't get the tweaker vibe mentioned in some previous reviews. This place is cute - maybe there are new owners (who changed the name from Glenyan to Ashland Creekside, maybe?) who are trying to turn things around.

  Good cell service ATT, Verizon and TMobile.

  Kangaroo Lake Campground

  Beautiful High Altitude Lake and Campground

  The RV/tent sites are all well designed with good separation.  Most of the campsites have nice views of the mountains that surround the lake.  Some walk-in campsites are located close to the lake.  It appears that a lot of the walkways and facilities are designed to accommodate people in wheelchairs or people with walkers.  It looks like everything is maintained at a higher standard than I've seen at most Forest Service campgrounds.   The 7-mile-long winding access road is narrow with a sharp drop-off on one side. It can be a little nerve-racking to negotiate with 2-way traffic.

  Emigrant Lake Recreation Area - Oak Slope Campground

  A delight!

  Close to town but worlds away. We expected the campground to be full for the weekend so we arrived a day early and had our pick of sites. The RV park was nothing special but fairly new and close to the lake. The Oak Slope “tent” camp has no hookups but easily accommodated our small trailer. Beautifully nestled amid open oaks it was peaceful and full of birdsong. It could feel close and crowded if full but it was 3/4 empty this early summer weekend, and the friendly accommodating camp hosts said it never fills. The smaller RV camp no doubt does, and reservations are a must in summer. The lake was nearly full this year after a solid winter of rain and snow.

  Facilities at Oak Slope are a bit tired, but major renovations are planned for 2024. Might be good to call the parks office to check.
