Best Campgrounds near Central Point, OR

662 Reviews

The small city of Central Point in Oregon connects campers to several good camping spots within a short drive. Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground sits along the Rogue River, with both tent and RV sites that include electrical hookups and clean restrooms with showers. For those who want more seclusion, Mount Ashland Campground sits at higher elevation and has basic sites with nice views of the surrounding mountains. You'll need to bring water when heading to Mount Ashland since there's no running water available. While both camping areas stay open throughout the year, many people find late spring and early fall most comfortable for camping here. The summer gets quite hot in the valley, and winter can dump snow on Mount Ashland. During dry months, fire bans often go into effect, so it's smart to check current rules before planning to have a campfire. If you want a spot at Valley of the Rogue, making a reservation is a good idea, especially on summer weekends. Mount Ashland doesn't require permits, but sometimes forest roads close seasonally. Central Point makes a convenient base for trying both developed campgrounds and more basic camping options.
