Overview

Recreation

Deer Flat is a prime location for hiking, fishing, biking, and boating in summer and early fall. The North Umpqua River, adjacent to this campground, drains portions of the western side of the Cascade Range. Almost 34 miles of this river have been designated as a Wild and Scenic River. Renowned for outstanding salmon and steelhead fishing and exhilarating whitewater challenges, the North Umpqua River offers an ideal setting for many recreational pursuits. The Illahee Flat Trail descends from the nearby Horseshoe Bend Campground and continues from Illahee Flat to the Jessie Wright Segment of the North Umpqua Trail. The 79 mile North Umpqua Trail parallels the river and offers visitors challenging hiking and mountain biking experiences.

Natural Features

Visitors to Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. Explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the nearly 1 million-acre forest, and provide spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. The translation of the word, "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines the area. High mountain lakes, heart-stopping rapids, peaceful ponds and thundering waterfalls, including the 272-foot Watson Falls on the North Umpqua Highway, offer visitors plenty of pastimes. Diverse ecosystems support a wide range of habitat for wildlife common to the area. From eagles and owls, to salamanders and salmon, these species, along with many others, depend on surrounding undeveloped wilderness, clean streams and diverse forests to live.

Well off highway...

About a mile off the highway so no noise to overtake the roar of the North Umpqua. Numerous spacious sites, many right on the river. No bugs early July.

Excellent group site with space and some privacy

It seems as though this group site used to be a small loop part of the main campground. There are about 10 individual sites here, all within the group area. Each spot has a campfire ring and picnic table. There is a larger camp table or two in middle area with a larger campfire ring (and space for everyone to sit around it). There are flush toilets in the middle, also. It's a short little trek through the main campground to get to the river, but there are some wading spots once you get there.
