Most tent campgrounds in the Agness area feature dirt or forest duff surfaces with minimal site preparation. Fire rings and picnic tables are common at established sites, though amenities vary significantly between locations. Vault toilets are available at most developed campgrounds, but drinking water is limited or unavailable, requiring campers to bring their own supply or filter from nearby rivers. Access roads to many backcountry tent camping areas require high-clearance vehicles, particularly after rain when dirt roads can become muddy. The standard 14-day stay limit applies to dispersed camping areas. Seasonal considerations include summer fire restrictions and spring mosquito activity.

Tent campers frequently mention the exceptional night skies visible from campsites in the region. According to reviews, Sunshine Bar Campground offers "secluded" tent sites despite being relatively close to access roads, with "beautiful views of the river" from most sites. One visitor to Rock Creek noted it was "surrounded by lush trees and a flowing creek," making it ideal for those seeking a quiet forest retreat. The proximity to water is a consistent highlight, with most tent campgrounds positioned along either the Rogue River or its tributaries. Sites farther from town provide deeper seclusion, though campers should prepare for limited or no cell service. Summer temperatures can reach over 100°F, making riverside tent sites particularly valuable for cooling off.
