Best RV Parks & Resorts near Cottage Grove, OR

543 Reviews

Several RV parks serve travelers near Cottage Grove, Oregon with full hookup sites and varied amenities. Deerwood RV Park provides asphalt pads with electric, water, and sewer connections, though the narrow winding roads can make maneuvering challenging for larger vehicles. "One way route around the park. Road is narrow and winding, larger rigs have issues with staying on path," notes one camper. Premier RV Resort at Eugene offers year-round operations with big rig friendly sites, full hookups, and 50-amp electrical service. Dexter Shores RV Park features pull-through sites with similar full hookup capabilities, located approximately 15 miles northeast of Cottage Grove. Fern Ridge Shores RV Park caters exclusively to the 55+ community with waterfront sites on Fern Ridge Reservoir.

Most parks in the region maintain sanitary dump stations, with Elkton RV Park, Hi-Way Haven, and Premier RV all offering this essential service for motorhome travelers. Cell service varies between parks, with locations closer to Interstate 5 generally providing better connectivity. Highway noise impacts some parks, particularly those with sites positioned near major roadways. Many facilities require jack pads for leveling on asphalt surfaces. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, some parks have long-term residents but maintain clean, well-kept grounds. During peak summer months, advance reservations are strongly recommended as parks fill quickly with travelers heading to the Oregon coast or Cascade Mountains. Pet policies differ between parks, though most allow pets with standard restrictions.

    Premier RV Resort at Eugene

    Well Managed Campground

    This is a large campground, mostly populated by big rigs, and mostly long term stays. Looked like a lot of people were working in the area. Almost all of the RV's there are very nice - no long term stay hoarder scenes. The roads are paved, majority of sites are pull through, photos on Dyrt are accurate. We had a 30 amp site and all of the utilities were well maintained and arranged well. Water pressure was good. Everything is well maintained. The women in the office were friendly, efficient, and helpful. It is a very dog friendly park and there is lots of room for dogs but everyone picked up after dogs and we heard almost zero barking. There were a few kids there but they were quiet except for a little play time in the afternoons. Downsides: a couple of the machines in the laundry were out of service (but the others worked well); there is a lot of road noise from I-5; cellular reception is sketchy. The road noise varies a lot though so ask for a site close to the office or in the older section. The new sites farther back are closer to the interstate. The road noise was much less annoying than we anticipated and we slept well. There is a TA truck stop nearby for filling up as well as a diner and a McDonalds. Of course, driving into Eugene to eat is easy enough. We had just 1 bar of Verizon and it was unusable but we had 3 bars of ATT which worked well. The do have a dog wash station toward the back of the park and also a car wash station that is easily accessible on the main road. We stayed for 3 nights while taking care of some things in Eugene and it worked out well for us. If only this place was farther off the road it would really be great.

    Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

    Book this one early!

    Located near Eugene, OR, this is one of the few local campgrounds near us.

    Open year round and it is usually full year round as well. Reservations are definitely a must for this small campground!

    This campground has all the amenities! Full hook up sites, toilets/ showers, laundry, swimming/boat ramp, picnic area, and even a dog park. Wide variety of site sizes and can accommodate most RV sizes. There are also hiking trails nearby.

    Close to town so you can easily get forgotten supplies or groceries. Perfect stay for a quick overnight when in town for Ducks games or just getting out of the house!

    Definitely recommend checking this one out if your in the area!

    Deerwood RV Park

    Nice RV park, but not worth the price

    We had a 10 day stay. Let me start with the positives:

    • Most spaces have at least 10-12 feet of grass between.
    • Nicely maintained.
    • Nice location, lots of trees and grassy areas.
    • Asphalt pads for most sites, some premium sites have a concrete pad for RV/trailer/camper with asphalt in front.
    • Decent wifi during the day, but slow as molasses at night. Assuming people streaming or downloading.

    Negatives:

    • One way route around the park.
    • Road is narrow and winding, larger rigs have issues with staying on path.
    • Mostly back-in spaces, which combined with the road, makes for interesting times getting your rig settled.
    • Spaces are fairly short, especially on Standard sites. We barely fit our 39’ Class A and a 2 door Jeep Wrangler. If our vehicle had been any longer, we would have had to park in overflow parking. We saw a lot of fifth wheels with no other vehicle in the space, we assumed they were in the overflow area.
    • No real spot to unhook a tow, except for the overflow parking area, which has a wider road portion.
    • Some signs of semi-permanent residents.
    • If you have a satellite, I am not sure the shady/trees spots would orient. We saw a lot of tailgater dishes at front of spots (we had a lawn spot with landscaping, but not in the trees).
    • Grassy lawn area is large enough to require weekly maintenance and the lawn mowing can be annoying.
    • ALL spots require jack pads. Having not stayed in too many parks with asphalt, this was a surprise for us. They did not mention at checkin, but we got a polite email the next morning.
    • Billed as a luxury rv park. Price does not reflect that. No pool, just laundry/showers/restrooms.
    • Freeway noise. Very close to I-5. Louder on the side of park closest to street and entrance.

    Rising River RV Resort & River House

    Cute RV Park near the river

    Super friendly rv management and staff- could not have been more welcoming. There are 2 dog runs, laundry, showers and bathrooms on site. Small store in the management office for sundries and rv gear. There are some full timers who live in the park but seem to be isolated in 1 part of the park.

    Gravel pad, no cement. 30 & 50 amp hookups along with water, sewer, cable and WiFi. WiFi drops often and can’t be used for streaming. No troubles with ATT cellular service.

    Park is next to a mobile home park that may be sketchy, but the RV park is a gated community that needs a passcode from 6 pm to 8am daily. I felt perfectly safe within the park but there is no food or shopping within walking distance. Not far drive though is a grocery mart and plentiful restaurants. Roseburg itself has everything you could need within a 10-15 min drive from the park.

    I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

    Note: spot 62 was close to Hwy 99 and you can here the traffic if your windows are open.

    COE Dorena Reservoir Schwarz Campground

    Quiet campground, but watch for Algae

    One option when looking for a campground last minute during the summer close to Eugene, Oregon. This one is not usually very busy during peak season in my opinion.

    This is a primitive campground so no hook ups for your rv. Bring the generator if your needing a power source during the day.

    There are restrooms/ showers on site along with drinking water, a playground, and an rv dump station. Picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Trails are nearby along with a beach/ swimming area at Dorena Lake. Watch for signs of Algae or Swimmers Itch as it has been present the past few years at Dorena Lake.

    Overall its a great last minute campground not far from town ( Cottage Grove- Eugene), but doesn't make my list of top 5 if I can make reservations a head of time.

    Loon Lake Lodge and RV Resort

    3.5/5 - not bad for a quick getaway

    The website was not kidding about not following the directions through Google Maps. The last 9 miles to the resort was really trying - the roads were narrow, twisty and winding. If you are probe to car-sickness, go slow. I took extra precaution and dabbed essential oils on myself and my children.

    Our pull-through site was in the Upper Marina, #22. If you have an extra canopy for camping, I'd suggest you bring it. It got really HOT when we were there. The good news is once the sun sets behind the trees, around 6pm, it makes eating dinner at the picnic table so comfortable and cooling.

    My husband and children perused the bathroom/shower facilities which was just across from our campsite. He said it was spacious - a shower + private bathroom + sink setup and wide enough for a family.

    Access to the swimming beach/boat launch is just a short 3 minutes walk. You just have to exercise caution because you will be crossing a main road (cars and big logging trucks rumble along often enough during the week).

    The swimming (sandy) beach is cosy (read: tiny). There are no lifeguards on duty but enough trees offering shade for parents/families to sit back and keep watch.

    You would have to drive back 5 minutes down the road to visit the Lodge for supplies or ice. The Lodge also provides some light refreshments* (deli sandwiches and ice-cream).

    Our site offered full hook-ups including cable (limited channels). WIFI* was a disappointment though - we had to create an account for a complimentary hour of WIFI usage every day. Together with the zero cell reception, it renders us completely off the grid. It's great really to totally relax your mind and body but it is worrisome for that what-if's scenarios.

    *Ice-cream was very pricey for the single not-generous scoop in a plastic cup that we bought for each of us. Because of the steep prices and WIFI availability (you have to pay if you want to get connected), I could only give a rating of 3.5/5 stars.

    Otherwise, we had a great time at the RV resort. The sites are appealing for huge family reunion (we witnessed such a reunion during our trip). We will be back! 😊

    We are a family of 4 (2 young boys with no pets). We traveled with a travel trailer.

    Casey's Riverside RV resort

    One of Our Favorites

    Our GPS brought us right to the campground (CG). This was our third time staying in what we consider one of our top 5 CGs. Check-in was quick and easy. We proceeded to pull through site 49, which was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F450. The water and electric were centered on the pad. The sewer sat a little farther back on the pad, but that was not an issue. You can hear the river really well from site 49, and that is the major reason we chose this site. If you don't like the sound of a raging river, you would want to get a site further down or a site not on the river. We had good water pressure around 50 psi, 2 bars on Verizon, and the CG WiFi was okay. Even though there were mature trees, we got a good north shot for Starlink. Satellite could be iffy depending on your site. Sites are okay spaced, with some sites closer together than others. Our utilities side neighbor was very close, and our yard side was nearby. They have a nice laundry with 3 washers and dryers that cost $1.50 to wash/dry. There was a significant increase in train traffic from the tracks across the river as compared to our last stay. There were also some updates, such as putting in a really nice pavilion with an outdoor fireplace plus some landscaping additions. The Westfir/Oakridge area is known as the mountain biking capital of the Northwest, and there are a multitude of biking and hiking trails.

    Richardson Park & Campground - A Lane County Park

    Spacious sites in forested park near Fern Ridge Reservoir

    I've lived in the Eugene/Springfield area for 20 years.  Until about six  years ago we camped 5-6 times a year.  Not once did we ever consider Richardson.  We thought it might be too urban.

    A friend just bought their first camper and invited us to come along for their maiden voyage.  So glad we accepted because this CG is fantastic!  Dang near in our backyard! 

    The perimeter sites are mostly pull throughs.  Would be fun to reserve with a few other friends side by side to create a huge yard for kids and games! 

    Lots of shady spots too!  

    Only one real complaint.  I need STRONG wifi or cell signal to work.  T-Mobile and Verizon both suck at site 31.

    I imagine we'll become regulars!

Guide to Cottage Grove

RV parks near Cottage Grove, Oregon offer diverse camping experiences across varied terrains. Located at 640 feet elevation in Lane County, this area experiences mild summers with daytime temperatures typically between 75-85°F and cooler nights around 50°F. Proximity to the Umpqua River provides camping options with water access, while sites closer to I-5 offer convenient overnight stops.

What to do

Fishing access: Sawyers Rapids RV Resort provides excellent fishing spots along the Umpqua River. "Quite area with excellent fishing spots," notes one camper. The small family-operated facility includes primitive cabins and RV sites within walking distance to riverfront fishing.

Wine tasting: 20-30 minute drives from Eugene-area campgrounds lead to local wineries. "Minutes from the U of O. Great place to stay when going to sporting events. 20 to 30 minutes away from great wineries," reports a camper at Deerwood RV Park.

Outdoor movies: Thursday through Saturday during summer months at Hi-Way Haven RV Park. "They serve free popcorn 🍿 If you can see screen from your site the sound on FM station," explains one reviewer. The converted drive-in theater provides a unique camping experience with on-site entertainment.

What campers like

Waterfront camping: Umpqua Riverfront RV Park offers sites along the slow-moving river. "Great place for the kids to swim as the river runs Sloooow," notes one reviewer who appreciated the dirt boat ramp and riverside access.

Clean facilities: Campgrounds consistently maintain well-kept restrooms and showers. At Deerwood RV Park, a reviewer noted: "The laundry and showers were better then expected, the best ive seen at a park come to think of it."

Unique experiences: Hi-Way Haven RV Park transformed an old drive-in theater into a camping destination. "They've taken the retro theme to heart and run with it," shares one camper. Another adds: "Drive in with your sweetie while camping, BBQ and drinks, dog park with some Frisby golf. Man life don't get much better then this."

What you should know

Site spacing varies: Some RV parks offer more spacious sites than others. "Spaces are tight not close together, just small," notes one camper about Deerwood RV Park, while another appreciated that at Deerwood "Most spaces have at least 10-12 feet of grass between."

Road conditions: Elkton RV Park features riverside sites but tighter spaces. "The campsites are really on the tight side. Most have very little front yard space and practically no backyard," explains one reviewer. At many parks, road configuration impacts site access.

Leveling requirements: Asphalt surfaces at several parks require special equipment. "ALL spots require jack pads. Having not stayed in too many parks with asphalt, this was a surprise for us," reports a Deerwood RV Park camper.

Internet connectivity: Varies significantly between parks and times of day. "Decent wifi during the day, but slow as molasses at night. Assuming people streaming or downloading," noted one camper.

Tips for camping with families

Dog-friendly amenities: Dexter Shores RV Park welcomes pets and provides dedicated areas. "We brought our RV and had no problems with setup or parking. No additional charge for a second vehicle was nice and my children had a blast in the clubhouse," shares one family.

Recreation options: Some parks feature dedicated play areas. At Hi-Way Haven, one reviewer noted their "playground" and "fenced off leash dog area, several other on leash dog areas" that enhance family stays.

Swimming spots: River access at several parks provides natural water activities. The slow-moving water at Umpqua Riverfront RV Park creates safer swimming conditions for children compared to faster-moving sections.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Fern Ridge Shores RV Park caters to the 55+ community with "Breathtakingly Beautiful on the lake RV spaces." For summer stays at Elkton RV Park, "make sure you grab one of the spaces that is shaded or that your AC works really well."

Sewer connections: Consider hose length needs. At Umpqua Riverfront, "Sites are small with all sewer hookups in the rear which require 2 sometimes 3 hoses."

Management interactions: Experiences vary between parks. At Dexter Shores, "Shelly the manager was really helpful and gave us many ideas for things to do in the area," while another reviewer had less positive experiences with staff at different facilities.
