Yreka RV Park accommodates pets within its tent sites, RV spots, and cabin accommodations. Located at 767 Montague Road, this campground maintains a 4.5-star rating and offers full hookups including electric, sewer, and water connections for campers with pets. Waiiaka RV Park and Blue Heron RV Park also welcome pets, with Blue Heron providing river access along the Klamath where dogs can cool off during warmer months. Most campgrounds in the area implement standard pet policies requiring leashed pets outside of designated pet areas. The Waiiaka RV Park features a small but well-maintained dog park with waste bags provided on site, while staff frequently check on campers during setup to ensure pet owners have everything they need.
Martins Dairy Campground permits dogs throughout its primitive camping area and provides access to a small stream that flows through the property, offering pets a place to wade during hot summer days. Located about 30 minutes from Interstate 5, this secluded site charges $10 per night and maintains exceptionally clean facilities despite its remote setting. The campground is surrounded by barbed wire fencing, which helps keep local cattle out while containing pets within the camping area. Iron Gate Reservoir at Camp Creek allows pets but campers should be cautious of thorns that can injure dogs' paws, as several visitors reported removing multiple thorns from their pets after exploring the shoreline. When camping with pets in the Montague area, visitors should pack extra water, as many of the primitive campgrounds don't offer reliable water sources for pets during peak summer months.

ScoutAshland RV Park
New, clean, Clean Private (4) bathroom---showers, beautiful hills
This campground is about a year old. It has a lodge with 4 private bathrooms and showers. They keep it really clean. I think their water comes from an 600 foot artesian well. There is no clutter. Its less than a half mile from exit 14 and about 4 miles from the center of town and Lithia Park, which is really fabulous. Dead Indian Road is a half block away, and this is the best and easiest route to get to Crater Lake. The Shakespeare Festival is right downtown and they have several plays per day. It's really neat. There are a few other RV parks around here, but this one is the best. You can also check out their website ashlandoregonrvpark.com.

So much shade
We stayed two nights here and were able to walk to the Apple harvest festival across the street. You are definitely packed in here but the park is really nice. We stayed in spot 29.
These spots seem to have shade all day long: 25-34 47-70
Spots we saw that we would like to stay in next time: 18, 19, 83A, 113
Also good: 80-83 and 105-113
36-47 have no shade in the afternoon/early evening
The bathrooms were old but clean. I wish the outdoor cooking facilities were better maintained. I’m not quite sure they are usable, but my husband says they are.
We definitely will return to this Park. I appreciate the tight ship they run. We let them know that our cable box was broken when we arrived, and even though we don’t use the cable, they had somebody there within five minutes to fix it. Strict 10pm quiet rule, which I also appreciated. Some highway noise, but it was not that bad. The little town of McCloud is so very cute and easily walkable. We recommend Sage for a fancy dinner.

Quiet amongst the trees
I showed up for a first come first served site. It wasn’t clear when I drove in that you can look at the dates on the reservation tags and use the site if you’re between days it is reserved. Nice shady wooded campground right next to the river with easy access to a gorgeous trail.

Jackson Campground On The Applegate River
Quiet and great location
The campground sits right on the river and even though it is near the road, there is not much traffic. At night it was super quiet. The camp host was friendly and the bathrooms were clean and there is a nice trail along the river.
S.AllanTravelerTree Of Heaven Campground
The Boondock
It's a beautiful camp, but there is a conflict between their (gov run) website information and in park board. Some sights are first come first serve, but some can be reserved online, but aren't marked, so there can be a reservation for a first come first serve spot. I've been there three times, the last wasn't bad, but twice the above issues caused inconvenience to my camp. Still a beautiful place, though
John & Amy M.TravelerMr. Bigfoot RV Park
Excellent RV Park
Can’t say enough about this little gem of an RV park. Super clean, all brand new amenities. Paved, level back-in and pull-thru sites with full hook-ups. Pool and laundry facilities. Staff was super attentive and seemed to be always out cleaning. It was so nice to have a place for our dogs to relax in the grass right at our site. They even have two “dog sites” that have chain link enclosed areas to relax off leash. The only downside is a lack of mature trees for shade since the park is so new. That will change as the ones they have planted mature.

Beautiful area and peaceful
Spent 3 nights here while going to the Shakespeare festival in Ashland. Overlooking Emigrant lake which was pretty low. Recommend trying to book sites 1-14 as there is shade trees. Sites were level but water and electric was towards the front of the site and our hook ups are at the back of the trailer so we weren’t able to back into as far as we would have liked but it worked showers and bath were clean and hot water.

Emigrant Lake Recreation Area - Oak Slope Campground
Nice Almost Level Paved Hillside Sites
Asphalt paved roads / sites appear relatively new. 10% occupied on Friday night in early October. Very quiet except for occasional birds and honking geese. Very dark at night with stars. Get shower code from Host at entrance station. Most sites close to level but used blocks to fine-tune. Site pavement a little narrow but all wheels fit for 24' Class C dually. Nice Views but water Very low this time of year.

Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Many campgrounds have tight spaces. At Friendly RV Park, "Sites are close together however they are staggered to allow for a little more privacy."
