  The Willamettans

  This is a nudist community and campground

  They have a hot tub, heated pool, lodge, rv hook ups, tent spaces, and rental cabins. Very nice.

  Shamrock Village RV And Mhp

  Camping in a neighborhood

  Definitely more of a trailer park with long term residents than a short term RV Park. People are friendly and cost is low. But there are no sewer hook ups for short term guests and they do not have a dump station.

  Twin Rivers Campground

  Great location to the river and wine

  This park has full hook ups, wifi and cable box. Most sites are under the canopy of large trees and shady. They have a bathroom/shower/laundry facility.

  We love the proximity to some of Roseburgs best wineries. The river is great for kayaking, swimming or fishing. The State park is adjacent to the RV park and has a wonderful kids play area, volleyball, horseshoes and a boat ramp. Great area to walk around every morning. OSU also has their Master Garden adjacent to the park. It’s a great walk while admiring all the beautiful trees and flowers.

  There is great hiking about 35 miles out of town (going toward Glide). You can hike into your choice of 12 different waterfalls.

  Mark and Diane are the new owners They made sure we knew to call them if we needed anything or had any issues {no issues}.

  HooDoo's Patio RV Park

  Near the River is Awesome, Camp Ground kinda Quirky

  The front of the camp ground is long term if not permanent residents.  Lots of clutter and miscellaneous items.  Looks like stuff that just doesn't fit into their trailer and made its way to their covered area (near their trailers).

  Everyone kept to themselves, not much chatting going on with nearby "campers".  The level we were on, just above the level near the River wasn't terrible.  I liked it because we were a little further from the strong flowing river with our 2 little boys.  It is beautiful and sounds awesome, but just to play it safe with the young ones I would recommend the spots on the level right above the river front.

  The spots near the water look really nice.  You would be able to hear the River from your camp spot.  These spots had fire pits.  Our spot looked like it was there at one point, but wasn't there any longer.

  Very limited cell signal here.

  Camp ground said their wifi was down, she mentioned it would be back up the next day, but it never was during or stay.  That would have made it a little better to have connection to the world (as I am working on the road).

  Our spot was unique, the power and water were on the same side, if you back in they would be on the passenger side and the sewer didnt have a good connection so I located a nearby stump to weigh it down.  That was on the drivers side (again if you back into the space).

  They offer a cable box at check in, which we didnt use that came with a coax cable and HDMI.  (again, wifi would have solved this instead of taking these items that look like they are in a reusable bag).

  Overall, the views are awesome, being that close to the water is awesome and I didnt feel unsafe, just a little unique of a spot.  They did offer good sam and the lady was very nice to call and check on our good sam membership number. 

  The common room (they call the friendship room) that looks like a living room appeared closed for now (covid) and the laundry was open, but we did not use.  The bathrooms were closed (covid).

  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.

  Rising River RV Resort & River House

  Great staff

  Great staff, office staff called to give me entry gate code because the office closes in an hour and the security gate closes at the same time. I arrived on time and staff quickly checked me in and host introduced themselves then guided us to our site. Thanked us multiple times for choosing their Campground. Clean restrooms and showers. A lot of long term or permanent RVs on site. River frontage sites afford the only views with in campground.

  Whistlers Bend County Park

  Lots to do!

  Large park with tent spaces, rv hookups, and yurts! Oak grassland doesnt provide very many bushes to hide behind, so absolute privacy is hard to achieve when the park is busy. Sprawling and varried disc golf course with some spectacular long shots, and tight trees. Play structure for the little ones, boat ramp, waterfront sites on the renown North Umpqua river (great fishing and swimming), shower facilities (lots of bathrooms, some flushing, some pit toilets).

  Great place to just get outdoors, without being too far from stores and humanity.

  Diamond Hill RV Park

  🙀

  Better than a parking lot? We came upon this place while driving later in the day. It’s more of a long term place but will work for anyone driving through and wants a place with bathrooms. There is a restaurant onsite which was pretty cool.

  Well laid out RV Park

  Lots of blackberry bushes near most sites. Our site was a level back-in on asphalt. Full hook up available. Partly shaded. McKenzie river runs behind park a few hundred yards. Supposedly good fishing. Park staff and host friendly and helpful.

  Hi-Way Haven RV Park

  Clean en quiet campground

  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.

  Deerwood RV Park

  Nice place for longer stays

  Back in lots are shaded and not stacked closely together. Wifi shows but no wifi. We used Verizon puck and worked fine. Grounds are kept up nicely. Appears there are long term camping sites, unlike many places we’ve traveled, they are well maintained and clean!! Only small drawback is the hwy traffic if in lots 45-70. This was mainly in the evening when sitting outside but a no issue inside. Overall nice place!!

  Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

  Can't Get Away From That $10 Reservation Fee

  We wanted to stay here because we had an appointment in Eugene, but balked at the $10 online reservation fee, so decided to just show up and get a spot, because usually that works out just fine for us.  Well, by the time we arrived, the campground was full (even though it was the middle of the week), and then I saw the little sign at the host's kiosk that a $10 fee will be added to your first night's stay.  Bah.

  Hosts were friendly and overall the campground looked very nice and well kept.  There are showers and laundry here.

  It's close to Eugene, so it's convenient if you have business in town.

  The RV / hookup spots out on the main loop looked more open and trim, but the tent / no hookup area in the back was more lush with trees and shade and greenery.

  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

  Great place

  This is our second time staying at Armitage. We usually only stay one night as we are passing through Eugene, but it's a fantastic campground and we would love to stay longer sometime. Site 30 was especially lovely. It is a full hook-up site surrounded by shrubs and trees. There is ample space between sites and we could not even see the site on our right. The pads are paved and pretty level, plenty long and wide for our 32ft 5th wheel and truck. Hopefully next time, we can stay longer and actually explore the park.

  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!

  Umpqua Riverfront RV Park and Boat Ramp

  Great small RV park

  Nice little RV park. Sites are small with all sewer hookups in the rear which require 2 sometimes 3 hoses. Dirt boat ramp, great place for the kids to swim as the river runs Sloooow. Excellent shower/bathrooms when COVID is over. Owner does enforce quiet time at 10.

  Casey's Riverside RV resort

  A True 10-10-10

  Well maintained, clean, and a beautiful setting along the middle fork of the Willamette River. We lucked out and got a riverside site with full hookups. Paved road and level sites from what I observed. Even an "on your honor" ice cream machine! This is near the small community of Westfir which has a small lodge with micro brews and lunch items, which were both great. Easy bicycle ride. Oakridge is nearby too and has many amenities. Book this early. From talking to fellow campers, it's usually full.

  Black Canyon Campground - Willamette NF

  Closed

  Looked like a decent campground, would have been great and had direct river access. Saw bathrooms but didn’t see showers. No service.

  Gates were locked, billboard with fee area was empty with no explanation or hours. Saw one truck & RV parked behind a gate . Maybe closed for the season?

  Umpqua National Forest Poole Creek Group Campground

  Meh

  Cheap site but no hookups for RV. Water is avail throughout the place but you better have a water bandit as there are no threads on the spigots. Tons, I mean TONS of mosquitoes. Major blue green algae blooms going on in the water, so it's not even safe for your dogs kids or old folks. Hard pass next time I'm invited here TBH.

  Dexter Shores RV Park

  Horrible managemet

  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

  Umpqua's Last Resort & Oregon Mountain Guides

  An adventure and accommodation for everyone!

  General: Located just across the street from the North Umpqua River, there is a mix of:•

  * petite RV sites (RVs up to 20’ with FHU 20-30 amp- 3)

  * deluxe RV sites (RVs up to 29’ with FHU 30-50 amp- 5)

  * Super RV sites (RVs up to 60’ with FHU 50 amp- 7)

  * glamping tents (7)

  * cabins with heat and A/C(4)

  * a cottage

  * a tiny home

  * camper

  * retro bunkhouse

  * retro RV 

  Site Quality: We were in a deluxe RV site that had a level gravel camper pad, electric hookup, fire ring, and picnic table. Unlike most RV parks, there was a decent amount of foliage between most sites to provide a measure of privacy. 

  Bath/Shower House: Two toilets, two sinks, and two showers. Clean but limited privacy for the toilets with just a curtain. Bench and hooks are outside of showers with no other separation so there is a lack of privacy there as well (did not use the shower so I cannot comment on how well it worked, although they looked nice). 

  Activities/Amenities:

  * Guided and Self-guided hiking tours

  * Guided and self-guided mountain bike tours

  * a full-day waterfall tour ($75 pp, with 24-hour advance notice)

  * whitewater rafting tours

  * Stream and river fishing holes

  * Fly fishing and hunting

  * Kayak rentals on Toketee Lake (We had hoped to do this, but the weather had other plans)

  * Wi-Fi is available for $2.99 per 24-hour period per device but it was flaky at best

  * There is a store with ice, firewood, food, beer, and wine, apparel, propane, diesel, and gasoline, rafts, and sleds. 

  We arrived later than planned (just before dark) and it was cold and rainy the next day so we were not able to take advantage of the many nearby recreation activities but the staff recommended a nearby waterfall hike that we could do in inclement weather. We would definitely consider returning during better weather.

  Dexter Shores RV Park

  Clean, safe, comfortable

  I had an easy stopover here on the way to Eastern Oregon. I didn’t want to use my tanks, so I used their restrooms. They were warm, clean, and well-lit. Walking back and forth from my trailer, I felt safe. There are plenty of big trees in the park which is lovely. Lots of full-timers live here, plus there is a portion that is mobile homes. There’s also a nice looking tent camping area, but it was cold and no one was there. They also have an area for walking the dogs. Good Sam discount. Contrary to the listing, they do have 30 amp service.

  Pine Meadows Campground

  Crowded, not private, overused

  I wouldn’t really recommend this campground. Drive slightly farther and stay in a more private better campground.

  Pros: Close to Eugene Waterfront sites Nice facilities and bathrooms

  Cons: Very little room between spots Not very woodsy Feels like RV park SO MANY barking dogs
  Lots of other people around Nice fire pits and tables at each site Farm across the street has 05:30 am rooster Busy road a few feet from edge of campground.

  If you’re looking for a nice private get away don’t stay here. If you want to feel like you’re in the woods don’t stay here. If you want peace and quiet don’t stay here. If you like staying at an RV park style sight. Stay here.
