Lake a shadow of it’s former self

Although the lake is a 1/10th full the campground is nice and has nice views. FHU and decently spaced sites for the most part. Did not use showers. Nice they are open in November! Picnic table at our site did need some work. Firewood for sale on location

Great Facilities, Lake. Level Very Low

There are lot's of nice camp sites with views of the lake. Each has a picnic table, fire ring, electricity, water and sewer connection for only $35 per night. There is also a campground for tents that is even less ($22?). The showers are on a timer, but with plenty of time and the water is hot and pressure good. The bathrooms and showers were clean. Be sure to watch the skyline as it gets towards sunset. boulder peaks look amazing. Geese and ducks. are on and around the lake.

Note: If you are arriving without a reservation, and see reservation cards on the sites, look at the specific dates. Some are for 4-5 days out. You could have the best site for three days. We just saw the cards and passed them by to find one without a reservation card. The site we picked was fine anyway as very few were occupied on a Thursday night in April.

The Newer Normal

A perfectly fine RV camp site. Like with a lot of locations now, anything by water is drought affected - the water levels are extremely low. Prices should probably be adjusted during periods of such low water that any kind of water activity is pretty difficult. That said, the facilities were nice, paid at the drop box. Got a good site for the night with sufficient AT&T wireless signal to be able to work.

Lot of Fun on the Lake

This was a great one-night stay.  We wish we had more nights there and will definitely go back at some point.  Campground perched on a hill above the lake with easy access trails down to the water.  Lot of lake activity (kayaking, boating, water skiing, etc.).  Camp sites are nicely spaced apart.  Views of the lake are great!  Full Hook-ups.

Fantastic Fall Camping

I really enjoyed the 4 nights we stayed Nov ‘19. We fortunately had great weather, cool evenings/nights and warm days. I arrived before 5:00 without a reservation, picked a site, and called the county parks line to pay (I wasn’t thinking and didn’t have cash to pay on site). Very friendly person on the phone and very friendly camp hosts. The area is very dry right now and I look forward to camping there when there’s been some substantial rain. I didn’t use the showers, my friend did and said they were good, has a good layout. She did recommend shower shoes though. Overall I look forward to going again. It has what I want with access to things I like to do... hiking, kayaking, wine tasting, and campfires! We were in sites 24 and 25, great! The price was right too! $30/night

Beautiful spot, close to town

We were here off season (October) so the water in the reservoir was very low. Despite seeing walls of dirt leading to the water, the view was still very pretty. Lots of stars at night. Quiet. Very exposed when heavy winds came up. I’m sure this is a super fun place to stay in the summer time — kayaking/SUP on the lake, playgrounds, and even a water park around the bend.

Lake is decent

Lake is decent when it’s not dried up, fishing is fun for recreation but not the best place to catch great fish. Campgrounds are decent with restrooms on site and hookups, nearby is a water park with slides which is fun for the kids but is only open during the warmer months.

Close to downtown Ashland

I stopped at this campground with my daughters on a road trip to California. We were able to slip in without any reservations. There were almost no campers due to the smoke from the wildfires and the water slides and pool were closed for the same reason. They looked pretty cool, but I can’t vouch for that or tell you how much the fee is. The fee to tent camp is $20.

There are warnings about rattle snakes around which freaked out my daughters a little bit. We didn’t see any. It’s mainly a warning to be aware of your surroundings.

The lake is disgusting and slimy. There is a boat launch and were people fishing on the lake with boats. There are warnings for pregnant or nursing women not to eat fish from the lake. Before we went down to the water, a staff person at the campground was very kind when we asked about swimming. She said it was safe, but seemed to have some apprehension and added that it was murky. When we got down to the lake there was a dog and the dog’s owner and one other person in the water. The other person got out of the water rather quickly. My daughters and I got out of the car and stepped down into very slippery sludge. It was thick and stuck to the bottom of your foot or shoe like when you step in cow dung.

We continued to try to brave it wading into the water. It was extremely slippery. I looked for something firm to stand on and saw a strip of what looked like blacktop nearby. I went to stand on it only to find myself nearly knee deep in a clutch of - what my uncle later told me was bullfrog eggs.

At that point we got out and decided to try to find a different place to swim. We had to scrape our shoes to get the sludge off then we drove to the city pool which wasn’t very far away. Unfortunately it was closed too. Then I found out that there’s a swimming reservoir at the very top of Lithia Park. It took us a little while to find it, but it was PERFECT. The water was very cool and very clear with a nice pebbly bottom. I recommend finding this spot. it’s heaven. This is the address of the pinned location on my maps: 632–698 Granite St, Ashland, OR 97520

Sleeping at the campsite was pleasant. The birds were vibrant during the day and early morning. The night animal noises were also pleasant. The campground was quiet as there were few campers. The staff were kind and checked in on us.

The bathrooms were clean except that I think the showers were turned off. It’s 50 cents for a 4 minute shower, but the coin slots were blocked. Maybe because there were so few campers?

Overall the campground was good and probably very popular on a usual basis. I would avoid the lake altogether and find the swimming reservoir instead. I will probably stay here again if in Ashland in the future. The price is very reasonable, the staff is helpful and friendly, the bathrooms are clean, and the nearby swimming reservoir is heaven. I didn’t give it more stars because the lake is so disgusting.

With the right expectations it's awesome

We stayed for 4 days while attending some Shakespeare plays in Ashland. Be aware the wind picks up in the afternoon but tends to die down after sundown and there's not a lot of shade trees, but the view is amazing, it's about 15 minutes from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The RV park has the most amazing showers ever...

Emigrant Lake Camping

Stayed 2 nights in a tent... my site was on the edge next to a forest of oak trees... good site for a tent and comes with a campfire if wanted. 2 buildings with toilets and showers - 1 building had showers for 50cents and they were free in the other building. Plenty of hot water. Only down-side is the neighbors may be a little close at some sites - I could hear what the people next to me were saying. A few minutes walk from the lake where you can swim and there were paddle boards for rent. Some motor-boats on the lake at 6am, so not good for a quiet sleep-in.
