Sportsman's River Retreat RV Park offers year-round access with 50-amp service and sewer hookups for larger rigs. Sites throughout the region are typically close together with minimal privacy between units. "The pull-through sites are very tight, but the back-ins (especially 33, 34, 11, and those that back up to the river) are great," noted one visitor.

Most RV parks in the Chiloquin area serve as convenient basecamps for exploring Crater Lake National Park, approximately 40-45 minutes away. Cell service varies by location with AT&T and Verizon generally providing reliable connectivity for remote work needs. Dump stations are available at several facilities, with Collier Memorial State Park offering a free dump site with water hookup nearby.

According to one camper, "Some sites, including ours had a fair bit of slope front to back," suggesting leveling blocks may be necessary at certain locations. Pet policies are generally accommodating, though designated dog areas are limited at most parks.

    Joseph H. Stewart County Park

    Great State Park

    We chose an RV hookup site for our 40' coach with tow vehicle. 30 amp power but based on forecasted cold weather they had turned off the water at the sites. Potable water was available at the dump station. Free warm showers and flush toilets. However, the bathrooms are old and appear dirty and grimy (rust stains, chipped paint, etc). Great walking and bath paths at the park and close enough to visit Crater Lake National Park. Large trees within the park though it doesn't provide much privacy with camp neighbors. In late October they had reduced the open loops but there was a good mix of tent and RV campers.

    Ashland's Creekside Campground & RV Park

    Undergoing Improvements

    At highway 66 near Ashland this park has both RV and tent sites. The RV sites are full/partial hook up (30 amp only) and dry camping. Note though that even if you pay for partial or dry you will still need to pay $10/dump your tanks. We opted for just full hook ups here. The tent sites are near the creek.

    There was some work being done that appear to be some upgrades. There is a nice pool area, a pond and the creek. The sites are level with picnic tables and fire pits. There are bathrooms, free hot showers, laundry, dog run, playground and store. Also available is propane ($3.50/gallon) book exchange and ice. Wifi was fast and free.

    The road noise is noticeable but not too bad. Some of the spots can be close but for a night it wasn't bad. Pets are allowed on leash only but there were a couple of loose dogs running around so be aware. 

    NOTE: Google tells you to turn on the street (Neil Creek Rd) just after the park so if you have a big rig then turning around could be difficult. Keep an eye out for the campground and turn into it directly from the main road instead.

    All the office and maintenance staff were friendly and helpful and neighbors were friendly and quiet.  We didn't get the tweaker vibe mentioned in some previous reviews. This place is cute - maybe there are new owners (who changed the name from Glenyan to Ashland Creekside, maybe?) who are trying to turn things around.

    Good cell service ATT, Verizon and TMobile.

    Waterwheel RV Park & Campground

    Nice RV Park to Explore the Area

    Easy check in in this quaint little RV park right off OR 97 on the Williamson River. We were directed to our pull through site 26 with water and electric but only 30 AMP. We had to disconnect and park in the little field across from or trailer, which was not a big deal. Our site had 30 AMP but there were 50 AMP spots in the middle and on the river rows. All three rows with RV hook ups had sites close together as we had to adjust our rig to clear trees so we could get our slides out. There were plenty of areas to include a small playground and large grass area to walk the dogs. Verizon cell, cable, and the WIFI all worked well. Water Wheel was a well kept campground with 32 RV sites plus a private island connected by a small walking bridge across the river for tent campers. If we were tent campers this would definitely be a great place to camp. We enjoyed exploring the area.  We would stay here again, but would definitely book in advance to get a river row site with 50 AMPs.

    Waterwheel RV Park & Campground

    Great Location & Great People

    We stayed for one week in site#23 with 50-amp electric service and water. Only the middle row of the park has full hookups, although the park has been making improvements since the current owners took over a couple of years ago. The manager and camp hosts are terrific! Very welcoming and very friendly. Most of the sites are small. There are a couple of sites that are a little bit bigger, especially those sites facing East. Site#11 is the best, in my opinion, as your patio would be right on the river! Aside from the size of the small site, the only downer for us is there weren't a lot of places to walk our dog without driving somewhere and no enclosed dog area. Otherwise, the park is dog-friendly. Plus, you and your dog can swim in the Williamson River that is there onsite. Cell signals from AT&T and Verizon provided enough connectivity for us to work during the week. AT&T, in particular, had a very good and strong signal.  As the park is only about 40 minutes from Crater Lake National Park's South Entrance.

    Klamath Falls KOA

    Friendliest, cleanest spot for an overnight stay

    We avoid KOAs and other full amenities campgrounds because they're pricey and not the camping experience we desire but when we have chore day, we like a one-stop shop and will seek these out to dump, shower, do laundry. This is our second stay at this particular KOA over a couple of different trips. 

    • Easy to reserve online, great communication 
    • Friendliest staff ever! 
    • Clean, clean bathrooms and laundry room (I observed them cleaning on a regular schedule) 
    • Easy access from highway 
    • Lots of road noise and bright lights all night 
    • Cramped spaces (they pack 'em in) 
    • Dump station in non-FHU is oddly placed near the very busy propane refill area
    • Cheapest propane in town (this is why many of the food truck and restaurant vendors come here) 
    • Nice little convenience 
    • Conveniently located near restaurants, grocery and other stores-- many within walking distance 
    • OK wi-fi. It's better by the laundry room 
    • Good little walking path nearby 

    We'll definitely keep this on our favs list when we have chore day.

    Annie Creek Sno-Park

    Great off season camping

    Camped here night before visiting Crater Lake National Park. Only 20min from entrance. Oct 1-Nov 1 it is free to camp in Sno park -after Nov 1 you will need a Sno pass permit. Can camp in parking lot at top of park or drive down into forest for better private spots, even some on a creek. Road is dirt and bumby so don't recommend for big rigs or trailers. Our camper van did just fine and we saw cars camped down there. Beautiful night sky with stars twinkling above the forest trees. Definitely would go back and recommend to people going to Crater Lake. Felt safe. -we tried dispersed camping (Odessa hwy 140) near upper Klamath falls lake that was sketchy and too secluded.

    Waterwheel RV Park & Campground

    A decent RV park

    We are generally not fans of RV parks but there were not a lot of options on our route near Klamath Falls. There are 34 sites; sites 12-20 are full hookup; the others have water and electricity. Sites 1-11 have Williamson River front views. The full hookup sites are in the center and have no privacy between them (but people in these sites would typically have larger RVs and not need privacy as much). In my opinion, Site 11 is the best site as it is a corner site with the most privacy. 

    The restrooms/showers are immaculate and are accessed via a keypad. There is also a very nice laundry room, playground (a bit dated), boat ramp, small beach (tents can set up here) and fire pit, and a dump station. There is actually a waterwheel! Cell service is strong and there is free WiFi. 

    Note that this park is located on Highway 97 and you will hear road-noise, especially at night when everything else quiets down. Despite this, we had a pleasant stay and Tracy in the office was very nice and helpful (we needed an additional 30 amp tail to use the electric and she provided us one to borrow).

    Emigrant Lake Recreation Area - Oak Slope Campground

    We drove through and chose not to stay

    This portion of the camping area is called Oak Slope, the other being on the lake for RVs for residents displaced by fires.

    For Oak Slope:   Imagine a steep tiered parking lot with narrow spaces. The whole campground is on a hill so the higher sites just look down on the lower sites. Most sites are visible from any other site. The sites were not very level and they were narrow, as was the loop. The campground also backs to private property. All sites are dirt with paved parking, with picnic tables and fire pits. Some pull throughs.

     There were bathrooms, one of which someone decided to dump a washer and dryer at. There weren’t too many campers when we went but I can imagine that on a weekend it would be awful. It is close to the lake which has bathrooms and playground. 

    We did not stay here. We picked a spot but then changed our minds and then left. There is an RV dump here. Cell reception with ATT, Verizon and TMobile.

    Ashland's Creekside Campground & RV Park

    Great price, good vibe, loud road, bad showers

    Good points: I think this is the cheapest campground with amenities near Ashland, only $27.50/night for a tent site with a water pump. The place didn't feel sketchy at all- although there are clearly some long term residents, it feels well-run and family friendly. Wifi was surprisingly fast and reached all the way over to the tent sites, and there is a place near the bathrooms to wash dishes. All tent sites were shady with large blackberry bushes providing privacy on three sides.

    The not-so-good: the tent sites have a road right behind them that's often busy and loud. The showers in the women's restroom have unbelievably poor water pressure, and the water temp fluctuated from boiling to freezing for no reason unless you twitched the dial just right. Also, there's no place to hang a hammock near the tent sites but that's just a quibble.


Guide to Chiloquin

Chiloquin, Oregon camping areas sit at approximately 4,200 feet elevation in the Upper Klamath Basin, creating distinct seasonal conditions. Summer temperatures average 80-85°F during daytime with cool 45-50°F nights. Winter access becomes limited at several campgrounds as temperatures frequently drop below freezing from November through March, with significant snowfall possible throughout the season.

What to do

Wildlife viewing at Wood River Wetland: The area near Williamson River Campground offers excellent bird watching opportunities along its 1.3-mile river trail. "Plenty of room, nice toilets but no water," notes Riley P. about the campground that serves as an ideal base for nature enthusiasts.

Fishing in the Williamson River: Anglers can access prime fishing spots from several campgrounds along the river. "The camp host was very helpful and nice. He explained to us where good spots to put our kayaks in," reports Brittney G. about Williamson River Campground.

Paddle sports on Upper Klamath Lake: Rocky Point Resort provides boat rentals and lake access. "My partner made a 5-mile loop on the lake in just over 2 hours around and through a National Wildlife Refuge on a paddle board," shares Laural O. The resort maintains a boat ramp, dock and fuel services for those bringing their own watercraft.

What campers like

Clean bathroom facilities: Waterwheel RV Park & Campground receives consistent praise for its facilities. "The bathrooms/showers are immaculate and are accessed via a keypad. There is also a very nice laundry room, playground (a bit dated), boat ramp, small beach and fire pit," notes Lee D.

Riverside settings: Many campers value the waterfront access at local campgrounds. "Right on the Williamson River, this campground is beautiful. The owners are very nice and accommodating," writes Lacy M. about Waterwheel. "The river is great for fishing, and in the late summer you can catch crawdads for a delicious crawdad boil."

Evening activities: Prospect RV Park offers unique social opportunities. "Park hosted live music with bonfire in the evening with hotdogs and s'more," mentions Lai La L., while Peter M. adds, "To top it off they have a Saturday Campfire, with music, food and drink. Open to the camp. It's a great place to kick back and relax with some live music."

What you should know

Cell service varies by carrier: While connectivity exists at most RV parks, quality differs. At Waterwheel, "Cell signals from AT&T and Verizon provided enough connectivity for us to work during the week. AT&T, in particular, had a very good and strong signal," reports On the Road of Adventure K.

Site leveling requirements: Many campgrounds have uneven sites. At Rocky Point, one visitor mentioned some spots required significant adjustments. "Some sites, including ours had a fair bit of slope front to back," notes Ray & Terri F.

Highway noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience road noise despite natural settings. "Note that this park is located on Highway 97 and you will hear road-noise, especially at night when everything else quiets down," Lee D. observes about Klamath Falls RV Resort by Rjourney.

Seasonal closure information: Campgrounds have varying operating seasons. "New park opened and still under construction. Excellent price, full hookups excellent view. Staff is fantastic and very friendly," harry S. shares about Klamath Falls RV Resort, though travelers should check current status as facilities develop.

Tips for camping with families

Water recreation options: Crater Lake Resort offers family-friendly water activities despite its tight spacing. "The resort offered free canoe rentals, but we had brought our own kayaks and used them in the slow moving creek," writes Katy D., who stayed in a primitive cabin with her spouse and dog.

Playground and recreation areas: Multiple RV parks provide play facilities. "The kids loved playing in the water and the playground. The bathrooms were extremely clean," notes Christopher O. about his stay at Waterwheel.

Wildlife observation opportunities: Children enjoy watching local wildlife at several campgrounds. "My daughter liked the little playground and caseing the groundhogs around their hill," Kodi R. mentions about her family's experience at Waterwheel RV Park.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: At rv campgrounds in Chiloquin, Oregon, corner sites typically offer more privacy. "In my opinion, Site 11 is the best site as it is a corner site with the most privacy," advises Lee D. about Waterwheel, while another camper recommends, "The sites for the most part have good separation."

Utility considerations: Hookup access varies significantly between sites. "Only the middle row of the park has full hookups, although the park has been making improvements since the current owners took over a couple of years ago," explains On the Road of Adventure K.

Dog-friendly facilities: Most Chiloquin area RV parks accommodate pets, though amenities vary. "The camp has. Nice area for dogs to run off leash," Christopher O. notes about his experience at Waterwheel.
