What to do
Riverside activities: Rogue River access from Riverpark RV Resort provides excellent opportunities for water recreation.

Hiking: Annie Creek Trail can be accessed directly from Mazama Village Campground at Crater Lake. "We loved that we could access the Annie Creek trail from within the campground! Our particular spots were large and private," explains Denise D., highlighting the convenient trail access.
Fishing: Stocked pond at Willow Lake provides fishing opportunities about an hour from Medford. "Great boating lake for water sports, good fishing, excellent hiking and great campsites," reports Natasha H., who appreciates the various outdoor activities available.
What campers like
Natural mineral springs: Jackson Wellsprings offers unique soaking opportunities with developed hot springs. "We camped in our van for $25 per night. Tent and car camping available. There are RV hookups too. On site showers and bathrooms. Developed hot pool for day use, with a discount if you are staying there overnight," shares Michelle H.
Shaded sites: Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground provides ample tree cover during hot summer months. "The shade trees were a blessing as they protected us from the unusually high temperatures the Pacific Northwest was experiencing," writes MickandKarla W., noting the benefit during heat waves.
Wildlife viewing: Bird watching opportunities exist at several campgrounds. "The wildlife is so cool. Great spot for birdwatching! Be wary of bears though. Each site provides a bear box to help ward them off," advises Bri C. about their experience at Mazama Village Campground.
What you should know
Campsite availability: Despite "full" signs, check directly with registration offices. "We came with no reservation in the summer. The sign outside registration office said that campground was full. We still asked if there were sites available, and there were! People book sites and don't show up," advises Cassie C. about Mazama Village Campground.
Highway noise: Many campgrounds sit near major roads. "The park is right off the freeway. This seemed like it would deter from the overall appeal, but the river noise somewhat drowned out the traffic noise," notes Andy H. from Valley of the Rogue State Park.
Seasonal infrastructure: Water systems and facilities may have limitations. "The power stations are breaking down, the maintenance staff has trouble fixing things because they have no parts, so it's sort of make do," reports Semi H. about Valley of the Rogue, suggesting travelers bring backup options.
Tips for camping with families
Dog-friendly areas: Find dedicated spaces for pets. "Fenced off leash dog park, bike trails, fishing, clean bathrooms and showers, tent and yurt camping and more!" recommends Kelly N. about Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground.
Water safety: Some river areas have modified zones for children. "The water was flowing fairly quickly due to the high snowfall this year, but there was a great rocked-off area just down from our campsite where you could get into the water and wade around without the fear of your dog or child getting swept away," explains Andy H.
Educational programs: Riverpark RV Resort and other locations offer family-oriented activities. "We will definitely be coming back and hopefully soon," shares Brian D., who enjoyed their initial stay at the resort with river access for family activities.
Tips from RVers
Space considerations: Some parks have tight configurations requiring careful navigation. "The back-in was interesting as the asphalt pad has a bit of a 'C' curve turn to it but we were able to navigate after a couple of adjustments," explains MickandKarla W. about Valley of the Rogue.
Connectivity options: Internet and cell service varies greatly across cabin locations. "T mobile and att work really well. There is also a separate dump station that is clean and well kept," notes Semi H., providing useful information for those needing to stay connected.
Utility reliability: Medford-Gold Hill KOA and similar facilities maintain consistent service levels. "Clean and well maintained. Our spots was tight to really maneuver our car to unhook and hook up the trailer," reports Mel, giving practical advice for RV travelers considering this location.
