"This campground is within 20 minutes of Eugene, Oregon, close enough if you forgot something, you can drive to town and get it."
"Have stayed here twice - love the ample space between campsites, all the room (forests, trails, roads, open fields, etc.) around the campsite, how it's right by the marina, how they show outdoor movies"
$20 - $39 / night
"Easy to find from I-5 and very close to Costco. Quiet location away from the road noise and has nice walking path along the McKenzie River."
"The campsites were nicely situated so you weren’t right on top of each other and the park was great. There is an off leash dog park and access to the river."
"There are only a few flat spots for RVs but quite a few decent spots for tent camping next to the pond. The west side of the pond has at least 2 spots that are a good distance away from the others."
"The sites are sling the right side of the of the road, the road that leads along the left (west side) of the lake. There are several sites, we stayed in H2, which is painted on the road."
"Breathtakingly Beautiful on the lake RV spaces."
$20 - $40 / night
"My site was close to the bathroom and my site was right against the creek, which was peaceful. Even though the parking area of my site was small but the rest of it was large-lots of privacy."
"It was peaceful and located next a wonderful creek and river. The host was very nice as well. I posted up on camp site #1 next to a fish ladder."
"We were lucky enough to rent a space at Deerwood for two months while we escaped the heat of Arizona and visiting our kids in Oregon."
"One star off for highway noise. Looks like many longer term campers here - flower pots, table cloths, decorations, mostly 5th wheelers."
$29 - $64 / night
"One of the many lakes along the cascade scenic why. Can be a lot of parties during summer. Otherwise gets warm outside. Lots of trails."
"Some great trails accessible for hiking. Although, the trails are not marked that well. Still beautiful and the lakes and nearby reservoir are great. Campsites are big and are drive up"
"I personally stay in all sorts of locations, but usually stop here for a couple of nights to take advantage of the great stores in Eugene to stock up before heading off for more primitive camping."
"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."
$25 - $50 / night
"It's near the road and near a TA truck stop, so there's noise from that, but it wasn't obnoxious.
Lots of long termers here, some of them look really settled in. "
TravelerRoad is a bit overgrown in spots but if you go past the first 2 spots through the bushes last spot on the right is most private and spacious
GuideNice area up a narrow forest road. When you get to the top of the road it Ts with another forest road, where there was a pull off that would fit one or two cars/vans. Turn left (where the GPS coordinates indicate) and there are three more sites, two are a few minutes down this other road. Turn right and there is one more spot. A few other very small pull offs. Very quiet, lovely views of the sky at sunset. The Beaver Creek park at the bottom of the forest road has a pit toilet and picnic tables for day use.
ScoutThe host is very cordial and down to earth. They have toilets and 9 camping spots. You can book online or call for about same day camping. You cannot book same day camping here online. The road is a bit loud but it gets dark here. Tables and a burn pit are available. No hookups. Creek path at every site although site 3 has the best entrance.
LegendBeautiful campground, standard USFS vibe of beautiful trees, paved roads, nice bathrooms, and some nice hiking trails. Dogs are allowed on the trails but not the beach here. The beach is too far of a walk from here to be convenient, something like 2 miles. We paid $31 for a standard site with no hookups.
There are several water spigots throughout the campground. The tree cover here is very thick, so solar didn’t work and starlink probably wouldn’t either. There is also group camping here. Good cell reception for Verizon and ATT. Host on site, very friendly, American Land and Leisure is the company that manages the campgrounds and provide the hosts.
LegendSites here are $34 for non-hookup sites, and if you can get one of the prime ocean view ones, it’s well worth it. A lot of the other sites have somewhat of an ocean view as well, but there is a line of sites where you would pull in parallel to the site, and that come with a great ocean view. These are mostly reserved though. This campground is operated by American Land and Leisure, there are trash dumpsters here, bathrooms, and some water/power sites for $44.
TravelerIt’s hard to capture just how breathtaking Creekside Retreat truly is. The creek itself runs clear and clean, winding through wooded banks lined with smooth stones and bathed in dappled sunlight that dances and sparkles on the water’s surface. We stayed in a glamping tent that far exceeded our expectations. It had everything we needed, with no detail overlooked. Falling asleep on a queen-sized memory foam bed to the soothing sound of running water and the scent of fresh pine was absolute heaven. Tom and Brooke have curated the campground with so much thought and care. You’ll find hammocks, lawn games, ice, firewood, vending machines, fishing and hunting licenses, and more. I also have to give a special shout-out to the compost toilets—seriously, they’re better than most indoor bathrooms. They don’t smell at all! On top of all that, there’s a beautiful pavilion with a gas grill and a large fireplace that everyone can use, rain or shine. It’s the perfect spot for family gatherings or relaxing with friends. We’ve camped many times, but in terms of natural beauty, thoughtful hospitality, and overall experience, this is hands-down the best campground we’ve ever stayed at.
TravelerThis is a group site. It holds up to 100 people and 16-20 vehicles depending if you bring trailers in. It has two bathrooms (4 total) and they are vault toilets. There is lots of area for tents and it’s like mowed wild grass. It sits along the Alsea River. You can float (early season), and also fish (check your regulations). It has a large pavilion for cooking (built in double bbq and a single faucet sink. Lots of large tables and a huge fire pit in the pavilion. Outside there is a giant stone fire pit for plenty to gather around. There are two faucets. No power, or hookups of any kind.
The nightly rate is expensive, but it’s designed for large groups like family reunions, class reunions, corporate retreats, friends/family getaway, you name it. That way it’s very affordable when split amongst a few. It’s a must visit campground. Reservations only, 3 day advance and you can book a year out. It’s very popular and books quickly.
Only 30 minutes to Waldport for all your basic needs or rent a boat for crab/fishjng.
ScoutQuite and peaceful and I wish I could stay here longer
GuideBeautiful southern coast campsite. The Umpqua Lighthouse is lovely. Museum and tours are great.
