Best Campgrounds near Central Point, OR

713 Reviews

Central Point, Oregon serves as a hub for multiple camping options along Interstate 5 in southern Oregon. The area features a mix of established campgrounds and RV parks, including Southern Oregon RV Park in Central Point proper and Medford-Gold Hill KOA just northwest of town. Most facilities accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several parks like Valley of the Rogue State Park also offering cabin and yurt options. The region provides convenient access to the Rogue River corridor while maintaining proximity to urban amenities in Medford.

Campgrounds in the area operate year-round, though seasonal considerations affect site availability and reservations. Many facilities feature full hookups for RVs, including 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections. According to one visitor, "Sites are level with grass and fire pits. There is a walking bike trail that goes along Bear Creek to Ashland." Medford-Gold Hill KOA and Southern Oregon RV Park maintain clean shower facilities and restrooms, though reviews indicate sites can be compact, especially for larger RVs. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F, making shade a premium feature at many locations.

The camping experience near Central Point tends toward developed sites rather than primitive camping. Reviews consistently mention the convenient location and well-maintained facilities. "The landscaping and grounds are impeccable. The sites are level and each site has a picnic table and campfire space, as well as small lawn areas," notes one camper about Southern Oregon RV Park. Many campgrounds feature fishing opportunities, with Southern Oregon RV Park offering a small fishing pond on the property. Highway noise can be a consideration at locations close to Interstate 5, though most reviews indicate this doesn't significantly detract from the experience. For those seeking more natural settings, Joseph H. Stewart County Park near Trail offers lakeside camping about 30 minutes northeast of Central Point.

    Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

    Great campground

    Easy to access off of the 5 freeway. Many sites to choose from, including day use. Campground was clean. Sites are big enough for our 25 ft travel trailer and Ford F-150 extended bed 4 door. Bathroom were clean but showers are good but warm water lasts 3-4 minutes max. Sites were close to others with no privacy, but wide open spaces and amazing views. A little noisy due to proximity to the freeway.

    Waiiaka RV Park

    Good Enough For An Overnight

    FYI- this location does NOT offer any kind of discount, they are not a part of Good Sam nor do they give any discount for being a Dyrt Pro member, regardless of what the app says! We stayed here overnight while passing through town. We were lucky enough to get the last open spot, and it was small, thank goodness we only had our little pop-up camper! The park is decent, but nothing spectacular. The sites are small and very close together. It appears to be a lot of long term/full timers here. The park is close to the highway, so you hear a lot of road noise. The office is open 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, and they do sell little items you may need. There is a 24/7 laundromat with 2 small washers and dryers, both cost $2.00 a load (30 min wash & 60 min dry) Propane is available, we paid $3.69 a gallon. The bathrooms are fairly well kept, but they say they’re only open from 7:00 AM-10:00 PM, and they do charge for showers at 25 cents for 3 minutes. I had a terrible time with the women’s showers, it was about 7:30 PM, and not even 2 minutes into my shower and completely shampooed up, the water turned freezing cold and only a trickle of water coming out, I thought the time was up, so I added another quarter… I was wrong, that did nothing, so I toweled up and moved all of my stuff to the next shower stall and tried that shower… but, it was the same thing, only freezing water and a trickle. I called my husband and he walked me into the men’s bathroom and stayed with me so I could get rinsed off🤦‍♀️ oh, well, not the worst thing to ever happen… I will say, the woman working in the office the next morning was wonderful! We were able to stay a bit later than the 11:00 checkout… which was great since we had to run into town for some errands, and she even printed out some needed paperwork for us!

    Point RV Park at Emigrant Lake

    Quiet camping in Ashland.

    Paved level pads and quiet. Clean bathrooms and showers. In mid-October, the lake is a little more than a big puddle but still fishable if you desire. Short hop to Ashland and many wineries in the area.

    Little Falls Campground

    Tiny but cute

    This campground is a paid campground, 10.00 a night without National park access pass. There is only 4 spots here Two you have to park in. Overflow and walk to your site. One is a small back in, camper van, suV, truck. The other is a double site, good for small 10ft less RV. We have a 5x8ft CcT so we fit amazingly in the double site. It’s quiet and clean. So close to Grants Pass and to Cave Junction. There is also tent only campground across the river.

    Forest Road 25

    Pretty

    We stayed up the road from this spot but I wanted to leave a review so there is a spot here could fit a 25ft rv. I would definitely park my CCT & Jeep here. Beautiful view The road down past it would be amazing for Jeep/truck/suv tent camping. This area is so peaceful

    Lookout Gap

    Mr. Bigfoot RV Park

    Super clean, brand new and FUN!!!!!

    Recently took the family to Medford for a baseball tournament and stayed at Mr. Bigfoot RV Park. We had the best time! The park was clean and the amenities were amazing! The pool was the biggest hit with our team! We will definitely be back! 

    FYI- Laundry room was still under construction but they said it would be completed soon! 

    We even came home with the W! Thanks for the good luck Bigfoot!
