Best Campgrounds near Dorena, OR

Absolutely a beautiful spot tucked away! Off the main road with a few dispersed spots spaced out very nicely. Not the easiest access to the river but if able easy enough. Spots are large and the stars are amazing!

Beautiful forest camp near a lake.

We arrived late on a Monday - our site was reserved with our names. We had to take our 5th wheel in for unexpected service. The staff was very accommodating and booked us for another night without an issue. We would stay here again.

The marker on the map is where the information kiosk is. If you follow the road to the right of the reservoir there are some developed campsites/boat launches with a fee (and composting toilets). Keep driving. This area is freshly burned, but there are still very treed dispersed sites past the more developed ones. Pass the sign for Mona campground but before the bridge and signs that warn about falling rocks. On the left side there are five dispersed sites along the river. There is a small marker "180" at the entry to the turnoff. Beautiful and quiet. Minimal trash that we cleaned up, steep routes to the river. We were there early March, no snow.

My visit near Fawn Creek Campground in Oregon was a refreshing experience, surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills. The campground offers a quiet retreat with well-maintained facilities, making it a great spot for nature lovers. With temperatures ranging from 30°F in winter to 80°F in summer, it’s a beautiful destination year-round. Nearby attractions like Siuslaw National Forest and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area provide plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploration. For families with kids, keeping them entertained is easy whether it’s exploring the outdoors or enjoying Toca Boca games, a fun and creative way for kids to play and imagine. Overall, this area is a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, making it a great choice for a weekend getaway!

The camp sites were decent size and they have life jackets for little ones

We rolled into this park in a torrential rainstorm just at dark. Thankfully, site 10 was perfectly level, and hookups all worked great. Clean bathrooms and gorgeous setting, even in the the rain

I stayed at Armitage for an overnight visit in the area and thought the location was quite nice: wooded with adequate facilities and plenty of space between sites. The RV park staff disappear a little before 5 pm and who knows when they come in the mornings. No wifi reception (at least where I was). Not bad overall.

Close to Cottage Grove, COE spot accepted the Passport for half priced camping. 

The campground roads can be tight if you have a big rig so be careful. Because there is no power in the sites people were running generators for hours, even the tent campers.

Large groups were utilizing the group areas when we stayed, lots of children having fun. 

It would not be a destination place but okay for an overnight stay. 

Alchol ban in the park but based on the trash bins it was not enforced.

Closed due to fire damage

I’ve been here before. This park has about 37 sites with folks not on top of one another. Clean toilets and baths. $40 per night. Need to make reservations. Fills up fast. Cell service for Verizon, At&T and T-mobile are marginal. Phone calls are fine, internet varies from good speed to barely working.

Vault toilets had no toilet paper, but otherwise a really beautiful small spot. Would stay there again

Quiet camping area off 138. You come up to what looks like a county shop, but keep going to the left, and you're here. A handful of sites. We were easily able to park out jeep a ways in.

Great place to be. Close enough to a lot of hiking trails, waterfalls and crater lake itself. Structure is good and the staff is super welcoming.

Great location and beautiful view. Great for families. Not the most quiet spot but the view makes up for it. Restrooms were under construction but they provided single vault toilets.

Ice cold McKenzie River water to watch & listen, lull you to sleep, with old growth forest & trails to walk/bike.

It's a few miles from Tamolitch, Clear Lake, Blue River Reservoir and a lot of trails.

This campground is quiet, has no electricity or showers (fine by me) and is just pristine. The fires didn't touch it, the river is beautiful and it's well-maintained.

Verizon & AT&T had 2 bars LTE - enough to text, call & upload photos.
