The Best Camping Near Grand Ronde, Oregon

We camped here again in July. Drive 6 miles up a paved road then 1/2 mile on a dirt road. Spent 5 days in spots RV1 and RV2. They were doing some log pickup close to our spot so during the day it was sort of noisy but after 3PM things got really quiet and peaceful. Trees were very plentiful and keep us cool during the 90\* days. We went up the hill to tent site#13 where there was water, but you had to pump your own. The water was very clean and tasty. They had 2 buildings that had pit toilets and 1 port-potty by the day use area by us. We walked a trail beside the day use area that went for about 1.5 miles by on of the creeks. There were many other roads that went to other trails that were longer. All was very quiet except for the cars, trucks and Jeeps that sped down the road by our camp going to the trail to the right from 7PM until 1AM. I have no idea why they were here at all because they we not camping here and drove very fast for a gravel road. Be advised even though there are 15 camp sites only(2) RV-1 and RV-2 are actually designated for motorhomes and travel trailers under 32 feet in length. Most all other sites are up a steep road but can accommodate very small RV's but mostly tent camping area. Little to no cell service right at the base of the campground. Just a 1/2 mile back to the asphalt road there is 1 bar at the very least. This campground is 6 miles up a small paved road from Grand Ronde then a half mile on a gravel road in a heavily wooded area to the first RV camp site#1 and#2.

A free nice campground to stay at for 10 days.

Well shaded and close to a Creek for fishing and a quick dip. My family and I stayed over  a weekend when the Logging companies were off and it was very quiet. Water pump at the top of the grounds and 4 bathroom pits at the top and middle of the grounds. Highly recommend.

Great Free Tent Camp

The campsite is not as scenic as the drive in. They do not do any upkeep of the sites or the bathrooms. I cleaned up my site before setting up. There is NO WATER. I always pack mine in.
I was scheduled for Friday to Monday but left Sunday morning the campers in one of the sites were really loud (screaming hollering) and played their music so loud you could hear it several sites up the mountain away. Even after the quiet time at 10pm they were still yelling.  Not talking, yelling.
Trash everywhere.
Pro
For a free site it is a good location for hiking other places not there and going to the beach or drift creek falls.
Early morning when everyone is sleeping make a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise..best part of the day.
The river is close about .8 mile if you go right on the path you will see an area that has a little rocky area and a thigh high area to sit in the river. My dog and i went there several times. This area is very scenic.
