Musick Guard Station is located in a remote setting in southwestern Oregon, offering visitors a glimpse into a historic mining community in Umpqua National Forest. Situated atop a narrow forested ridge between Fairview Peak and Grouse Mountain, the guard station and outbuildings were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 to provide fire protection to the Bohemia Mining district. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Musick Guard Station became an important public contact point and administrative center for the Forest Service. Later it was used as summer barracks for trail crews and firefighting crews. The Guard Station was named after the nearby Musick Mine, a major gold producing mine in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today the guard station continues to offer visitors a unique lodging experience and plenty of opportunities for relaxation and recreation. This site is located in National Forest System lands. These sites are popular with the recreating public so you may find visitors interested in the area and the facilities. While you do not have to let them inside the facility they are allowed to be in the area.
For hiking and sightseeing, the nearby Bohemia Mountain Trail leads up a steep grade to the rocky summit of Bohemia Mountain, the highest point on the Cottage Grove Ranger District. Just east of the summit along a ridgeline hikers will be treated to dramatic views of the Cascade mountains and a wildflowers blooming along rocky outcrops and bluffs in late June through early August. For history buffs and fortune seekers, Musick Mine, one of the most productive gold mines in the district during the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, is a point of interest not to be overlooked. The area is named after James "Bohemia" Johnson, a mountaineer and prospector, who discovered gold-bearing quartz in 1863. The discovery created much short-lived excitement in the valley, but settlers soon realized the gold had to be extracted from the rock by machinery, not panned from the many streambeds, and by 1910 most of the ore had been removed. Some mining continues today.

Musick Guard Station is surrounded by rugged summits up to 6,000 feet in elevation, and steep, heavily forested slopes of fir, spruce and hemlock. Nearby Fairview Peak, located in the heart of the Bohemia Mining District at an elevation of 5,933 feet, provides an excellent panoramic view of the surrounding area. On a clear day, the Cascade Range peaks can be viewed from Mt. Hood to the north and Mount McLoughlin to the south. Large mammals such as elk, deer, black bear, and cougar, as well as the smaller residents like squirrels, fox, raccoons and bats, are supported by the area's diverse forest habitats.Learn more about bear safety.

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.
Bathrooms were close, also water between every two camp sites. Showers were pretty nice. The lake is absolutely amazing! Really was worth money. It also wasn’t to expensive at all.
It's really a beautiful area a nice place to stay people are awesome really pretty the got everything,
My visit to Musick Guard Station in southwestern Oregon was a truly memorable experience. Nestled in the remote Umpqua National Forest, this historic site offers a fascinating glimpse into Oregon's mining past. Built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the guard station and its outbuildings stand as a testament to early fire protection efforts in the Bohemia Mining district.
Situated atop a forested ridge between Fairview Peak and Grouse Mountain, the location provides breathtaking views and ample opportunities for hiking. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the trails around the station, immersing myself in the serene beauty of the surrounding wilderness. What made my stay even more enjoyable was the ability to listen to music offline, thanks to Spotify MOD.
In such a remote area with limited internet access, having offline access to my favorite songs enhanced my hiking experience. It allowed me to relax and unwind amidst nature while enjoying my preferred music tracks. The Musick Guard Station itself offers a unique lodging experience, steeped in history and surrounded by tranquility. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it serves not only as a cozy retreat but also as a gateway to outdoor adventures.
Whether you're interested in history, hiking, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Musick Guard Station in the Umpqua National Forest is an ideal destination. I highly recommend visiting Musick Guard Station for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and history while enjoying modern comforts like offline music streaming with Spotify MOD. It's a place where past and present converge, offering a truly unforgettable retreat in Oregon's wilderness.
Clean showers, private, lots of trees, clean site, hiking, swimmable water (3 seconds was freezing but easily adjusted), inner tubing, agate hunting in the river, 9 miles away from Safeway. If you have Verizon, you will likely have WiFi Connect. AT&T had poor connection. Super beautiful site.
Staff was friendly and helpfull. Easy to position the RV on the site. Full hook-up. Condition for your sewer connection is that it has to be on a support. (Available in the shop) Although the campground is not far from the I-5, the traffic noise is hardly heard.
Wonderful group camp that can sleep all your friends and relatives! Fun little bunk houses for the kids and a big covered area for cooking and hanging out. Big field for tents, frisbee, drum circles, etc. There is a great swimming hole right across the street and a good jumping platform just up the road at the next pullout. The hike from the campground up to the butte is great too.
This was our first t start at a KOA campground. Just one night as we wrapped up an Oregon coast trip with rented class c. Staff very nice and helpful. Spotless restrooms and showers. Very quiet park. Unfortunately we missed movie night. Next time :).
Quiet and beautiful views across the lake. You can kayak, fish, sail, and swim. The Lodge has seasonal entertainment along with good food and atmosphere. If you don't have a RV and don't want to sleep on the ground they also have cabins to rent.
We were so lucky to get a last minute spot. The bearded man with a that checked us was full of helpful information. We wanted to stay an extra night, but the camp ground was full. Amy at the front station was such a blessing to help us get another night. She went above and beyond in service. We live in Ca and very rarely see this kind of service. I was told by a friend, you will love the Oregon parks. He was so right.
Staff was extremely friendly, professional and attentive. They have everything super clean on bathrooms, kitchen and around the park. Tent sites has electricity and picnic tables. They also a full kitchen to cook with free coffee and perishable food. They had free movie night on big screen with free popcorn and a nice forepit.
Clean and you can walk right up to the river
We stayed here for a couple days and had a really pleasant experience. Shelly the manager was really helpful and gave us many ideas for things to do in the area. I will definitely be staying here again.
They say there's long term permanent spots. Yet they will move you from spot to spot tell you one thing then it be another. Don't trust them with your background regardless of what it is, it will be left out and your privacy will be violated and everyone in their park will know. Personally happened to me. And if you have a problem or an issue with something the management will ignore your phone calls purposely to not have to deal with whatever it is your calling about. I know this for I personally have watched it done by management. The management will yell at each other in front of customers of the park. And they are hardly ever in the office to be there if their needed. There showers and bathrooms are hardly clean with multiple people complaining about them they keep the bathrooms even during winter at 68°. There's black mold in the showers. The owners wouldn't allow the bathrooms to be fixed properly just painted. They are running to many washers and dryers in there bathroom the wiring ain't right and it keeps blowing fuse, the driers breaking down or the washers don't cycle through all the way and don't wash your clothes or they flood. Not only that but you won't get your mail there they love sending it back. No matter what it is if you end up having a problem with management. We had checks sent back, legal mail. Do Not Trust Shelly Allen the management
This campground has been a daughter in law's family tradition for years. We joined them this year with our travel trailer because we were lucky enough to get a spot that had had a cancellation.
Site 15 backed up to the lake. Fit our trailer, just. (25 ft plus hitch and 20 ft truck). Great site! Electric hook up. Fairly level. Next to a lakeside trail. They have communal water available around the loop and a sanitary dump on the road out. Many people spend the summer there so some of the sites looked like "encampments".
Some sites are quite close together, some have more privacy. Lots of trees and areas to "get out and about" , though.
The lake is lovely. It stays calmer at this end of the lake for paddling (hence the name "Shelter Cove"). A train goes by a few times through the day, but it's actually kinda cool. Don't remember any at night.
Really a beautiful place to vacation, so it's very popular!
Beautiful. Perfect place for family. Great scenery. Very clean.
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. Just like back in the day but better!
This is a great find! The lower loop has no hookups and it is definitely made for smaller rigs. I was sweating it to get our 30ft 5th wheel out of there! The upper lip has hookups and is easier to maneuver for larger rigs. The day use area is nice. Rocks in the river are super slippery! Nice Frisbee golf course. 5 yurts for rent also. Fairly good shade. Showers cost to use.
Booked via Recreation.gov and had a lakeside tent spot. Spots 37-38 if reserved together would be perfect for a larger group, plenty of room for multiple tents.
The campground was very quiet at night, lots of kids and dogs during the day. This is very much a family-oriented place to spend time. Easy access to the water and there are facilities tucked away throughout - clean vault toilets, trash bins, etc.
I was able to get 1-2 bars via Verizon. When I visited in May there was rain on/off. Bring bug spray - quite a bit of gnats and mosquitos. The host is onsite and nice, looks like they really keep up the grounds.
Really nice and easily accessible group campground. Reservations are required. There is a host on site.
The campground is nicely maintained.
Cost is $500/night for the first 50 people and it goes up by $150 for every 25 people.
Cell service is spotty in this area but there is a phone available for use by guests.
This is one of our favorite pack and go campgrounds when we just need to get away from the house. It's so clean. The grounds and facilities are taken care of. The showers are awesome! There's a great spot for playing in the river, too :)
Beautiful RV Park in stunning setting. Friendly staff and guests. It’s a converted drive-in theater and they’ve taken the retro theme to heart and run with it. We’ll definitely come back. I don’t see any bad sites. Maybe closer to or further from the movie screen depending on your preference.
We drove through loops E and F to check them out, looking for a place to stay for the night. All sites look the same, well maintained, kind of boring. Minimal amount of privacy between sites. Kids running around all over the place. We decided to keep moving to find something more interesting and low key and peaceful feeling, but still giving this place 5 stars because it's a nice place, it's just not our style. (We ended up at Cascade State Park, which was more what we were looking for).
You can make reservations here, or drive up and see if any sites are available for that day. We drove through here on a Thursday in late August and there were only 3 sites available for walk up. Some sites are partial hookup (electric and water) and some are non-hookup.
There is a book exchange at check in kiosk, always a pleasant feature for us :)
There was a long line at the dump station, so maybe plan ahead for that.
Weak but usable verizon and ATT.
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. The community here seems friendly and we'll just likely be back.
We had a great time staying at River Bend! This was our first trip here and won’t be our last, we’ve already made reservations for next year.
The sites were maintained very well and the camp hosts were very friendly. In addition to the paved driveway for our trailer, there always a nice, large concrete pad for the picnic table with a fire pit built on to the corner. The neighboring site on the right was 20-30 yards away and the site on the left was 100+ yards away. Lots of trees all around, good shade for those hot August days.
The bathrooms for the loop were a nice walk but not too far and they were cleaned 2x per day.
We spent most of our days at the river swimming, floating in tubes, skipping rocks and looking for crawdads. It was an easy walk on well maintained trails to get to the river.
The playground and adjacent field were fun for playing and games in the evenings.
Being a long, hot year there were no fires allowed in the fire pits. That was a small bummer, but the fire danger was so high that it wasn’t a big deal. We used our propane fire ring instead and that was great. Kind of nice coming away from a camping trip and not smelling of smoke 😁
They have a hot tub, heated pool, lodge, rv hook ups, tent spaces, and rental cabins. Very nice.
Hiway Haven is a fun, clean and well-run RV park for all ages. The staff are courteous and helpful. The drive-in movies are fun! We have spent the summer here and will most definitely be back.
