"The children running around were so happy here - it feels like a safe place to be, tucked away in a private area of Cave Junction."
"Great for kids with a river on site nearby. One part of the river is designated as a nudist-friendly beach but is well-marked. Several showers and compost toilets available and picnic tables."
"It is the closest I have come to backpacking camping while car camping.
Not going to lie, the complete tranquility somewhat ruined the camping by the redwoods since we were right by a busyish road."
"On the near side, is a picnic spot with a pit toilet. Across the bridge, there is a campsite downriver with a pit toilet. "
"Lovely little tent only( i guess you could get a camper up here).
This place was closed for the longest time and i think people forgot it was there when it re-opened."
"They have 5 camping spots each with their own private picnic table and fire pit with metal grate. They stock the pond each year with legal trout and there is some native catfish and crawfish as well!"
"Tent camped at Bolan Lake on Saturday, not a lot of people here which was nice. Sites have fire pit and tables, clean space to pitch tents or use rooftop tent. No WiFi or cell reception."
"Several other campsites around as well. Chose one directly on the river. Plenty of firewood around. Filtered water from the river. Another campsite 45 minutes northwest. Almost as nice."
TravelerGrayback Campground is a hidden gem if you’re looking to get away out of the crowds in September. The park is rustic and quiet. We stayed in site 37 next to the River. You will not be disappointed here.
Drive 12 miles up on Hwy 46 from Cave Junction to the Oregon Caves.
TravelerThis has to be our all time favorite camp spot in sw Oregon. Can’t beat the price…quiet…nice trails….clean bathrooms. We love getting a spot on the creek and listen to it all night long. Not too far from Cave Junction for supplies.
RangerEasy road to get to this stretch of river, and lots of campgrounds along. As described, 4 drive-ins & 2 walk-ins. Stays in closer walk-in #5. Later learned some girls had used a drive-in spot just for parking 😡. One vault toilet in fair condition, trash. No potable water. Beautiful stretch of river with swimming hole & great rocks to jump from. Beautiful sand beach. Definitely NOT big-rig friendly. Posted ‘no alcohol’, but don’t know why.
GuideI visited here for one night in October and it was very quiet. Only 10 other campsites being used. The campground is quite large, however a few loops were closed for post season construction. Beautiful sites and awesome to set up my tent right next to giant Redwoods!
The campground runs along the Smith river, which is beautiful in its own right!
All sites standard with bear box, fire ring and picnic table. Very clean bathrooms and showers. Quarter operated showers. $8/bundle of wood. $35/night. Cash or check only!!
Dont miss the Boy Scout Trail just a few minutes down the road and the Stout Memorial Grove across the river.
RangerNice site offers showers, clean bathrooms, bear boxes, fire rings and benches. As well as trash cans and recycling. Some spots looked big and some/most were pretty small. The spots are pretty close together but, that’s okay. I feel it was kinda expensive for the size of the spots and how close they were together but, you are in a state park. The trees were very beautiful and you’re right in the middle of the red woods. The camp host was very sweet and offered a wood for purchase ($10).
I don’t recommend getting spot 27. Very weird set up the bench was in the center of the spot and the fire was really close to the vegetation it kinda scared me. It looked to be all the odd 20s were set up kinda funky.
GuideTent camped at Bolan Lake on Saturday, not a lot of people here which was nice. Sites have fire pit and tables, clean space to pitch tents or use rooftop tent. No WiFi or cell reception. This weekend was hot, close to 110 and being at lake was perfect. If you want peace and quiet, water access and blooming flowers with trees, this is a good spot.
It’s a pretty long dirt road to get to the campground, make sure you have good tires that can handed rocks/dirt terrain.
TravelerWile road tripping to oregon from Los Angeles, we stopped here for the night. Relatively affordable, very clean, and not busy (at least while we were there). You can walk down to the river to fish, where there were also RVs camping on the beach. Tent camping is limited to very few sites but it looked like there was plenty of rv space. We set up for the night at the tent sites where we had a nice dinner with a beautiful night sky above us. The river is a good fishing spot, according to some local fisherman we met in the morning following our stay. There were bathrooms but they were locked. We had good service though. The site we chose wasn't particularly hidden or private, so anyone driving in or out of the road to the river, whether that's someone launching a boat or a ranger checking fishing licenses, they will have a full view of your entire site, something to consider if you require privacy.
LegendThis is a great spot for larger families. We stayed in the group site as well as an individual site (different time).
The group site was great! We were far enough away from other campers that our large family did not disturb, but still close enough to the front station for any help needed from rangers.
There are tons of acitivites in the campground; trails, floating down the river, night time story hour and bon fire, as well as outside of the campground: Redwood Edventures for kids, Trees of Mystery, or a short drive out to the coast.
There are plenty of restrooms and showers. Firewood is available to purchase. There are animal proof trash cans and food storage container.
Great for tent campers, RV/ trailers and cabins are available for rent.
ScoutSmall campsite, sites are close together and there’s no privacy. It is next to the river but there’s access to anyone staying at the campsite or not. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained, person in charge is friendly and is always around. First come first serve, firewood bundles are $10.00 each for pinewood. No showers, no hookups. It’s a good last minute option, sites are right next to the road so you get a bunch of car noise driving by.
