Amazing Private Retreat
This campground is such a hidden gem. Just outside of Oakridge it feels like you are back country but you are 15 minutes from anything you would need if you forgot it. The elk walking through blew my mind and the views even more so.

Humbug Campground
Love it here
Humbug is one of our favorite campgrounds. We love the easy access to the beach and the beautiful hikes. Showers are hot and free, rangers are always friendly.
Cell service is pretty iffy here, but we manage to make it work with the cell booster.
There's a dump station and water fill, trash and recycling, water spigots throughout campground, and firewood for sale.
Tent sites in Oregon don't currently have the 25% non-resident surcharge (though I've heard that's changing soon) and there are plenty of non-hookup/tent sites that will fit RVs. There are also FHU and pull through sites.

great camping spot
i was in campsite 3 very short walk to see the river very quiet $28 dollars a night

COE Dorena Reservoir Schwarz Campground
Tree covered
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.

River Bend County Park
Quiet Mid-September
Beautiful early fall days at River Bend.
Midweek, Sunday - Thursday the campground was maybe 25% filled. It was quiet! Leaves were beginning to turn colors, needles from pine tree were falling like rain.
The Santiam river is low at this time and was great for wading into, swimming if like cold river.
Kayaking the river - I dropped in at Cascadia - beautiful float back to River Bend - had to traverse quite a bit due to low water levels / avoiding the small waterfalls (5-10ft drops).

Cascadia State Park
Beautiful Park on the Santiam River
We stayed at what is now Cascadia County Park (per signage at the park) at the beginning of September. Monday and Tuesday night there were only a couple of other campers in the park. Needless to say it was very quiet.
Our first day we noticed a man without a shirt sitting, leaning against the bathroom exterior wall for a least an hour or so. Later that day we saw a couple who appeared to be homeless using the shower on the premises. Neither of these people caused any problems nor interacted with any camper as far as I could tell. Near the entrance at the picnic area there is a sign warning visitors to lock their cars.
This is a beautiful park, densely forested, bordered by the Santiam River. We stayed in one of the pull though sites, number 4. It was more private than most sites. We were happy to stay here to escape the smoke in Central Oregon were we live. We had reservations at Little Crater Campground, but choose not to stay there as the there were fires nearby and the area had an Evacuation Advisory - Level one and there is only one way out of the area.

review
Our friends had very positive reviews about this park, so we definitely want to visit it soon. I think it will be a great getaway. The only thing I wanted to mention is that the provided map in PDF format didn’t open on my PC for some reason. But I was able to convert it online, and the issue was resolved. Using https://pdfguru.com/html-to-pdf, you can convert HTML to PDF, vice versa, and into many other formats. So I find this editor to be a great service if you need to work with PDF files. It might be useful to someone else, just like it was for me.
Reeta H.TravelerFir Ridge Campgrounds
Not a place
I dove thru. Told not welcome. 2+ year wait list to live there. Asked if I could just pay to park somewhere safely in there as a single woman, in her 40's, just to stay in my car and watch TV on my own cell service in my car? I was told no. I told them I didn't want to live there tonight, I was looking into rv living and feeling out what the lifestyle is about. Currently just a "leave no trace overnight sleep".
Nope.
Met a couple residents and park attendant/host and this is NOT A PLACE TO STAY.
Looks like some kind of laundry area and possibly 1 shower stall. CHeesy (some kind of 1/4 height saloon town cutouts) hostile, rude, unfriendly, and discriminating. Best to move straight past it.

Lava Camp Lake Campground
Delightful small campground
This small, primitive campground is just about a mile from the McKenzie Pass on Hwy 242, the old McKenzie Hwy. it has 9 sites, 2 of which are walk-in. Lava Camp Lake is a small alpine lake and most of the camp sites have views of the lake. You can also see Mt. Washington and Black Crater from most places in the campground. Part of the area is a burn scar from a 2017 (I think) fire in the area. But there are a lot of trees around the campsites and plenty of shade. Lots of deer. One well-maintained pit toilet. No water.
We stayed in site 6 in our small camper van. It was mid-week in early September (after Labor Day) and there was only one other camper there for one night. It was so quiet and peaceful. perfect.

Nice camp spot near Dorena Lake
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.

Whitcomb Creek County Park
WIll not come back
Web site claims "Drinking Water" is available. However, the water coming out of the tap was brown, probably full of rust and minerals. The host told us not to drink the water, only use for toilet flushing and maybe shower. The county claims it is safe, I don't believe them.

BLM Molalla River Recreation Area
Beautiful!
Right on the Molalla river. Great campground. Vault toilets aren’t great, but they are useable. The water pump has bacteria warnings so bring plenty of water.

Paradise In Oregon
Outstanding old growth & river campground
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.

Big Lake
Stunning Views, Close Sites
The Views surpass anything negative I could say. The location is ideal, we escaped the summer heat, at our site it was about 15 degrees cooler than Sisters temps. The Host who was a Forest Service Employee was wonderful, sites are fairly close together, I would bring a large sheet potentially next time to keep from looking straight into neighbors camps. The bugs were bad in the evening at the water, but not terrible during the day. Bring lots of big spray. The lake is serene, even with boater activity there was plenty of room for my kids to very safely swim. They do not sell firewood at the campground so if you are visiting when fires are allowed bring your own wood. We will for sure return!

Do Not Book H27
If you’re camping during the summer, this is the WORST campsite we have ever encountered. There is no shade or breeze, and directly next to the main road to Sisters/Bend with significant road noise. We booked two nights and ended up just leaving because of the unreasonable noise and heat.

Trout Creek
Quite spaces
Nice swimming/wading area. Fairly private sites. Beautiful backdrop. No hiking options directly out of campground. Peaceful while we were there, but no camp host if there were an issue.

Casey's Riverside RV Park
Wow!
Really awesome facility. Every site is big-rig friendly and almost perfectly level. Minimum work getting setup. The river is just feet away. Dog friendly. We especially liked the trains that occasionally tooted and roared down the opposite side on the river canyon.

Skookum Creek Campground
Spooky!
So, we followed a young family in a Jeep Cherokee pulling an audacious 12 foot camping trailer, circa 1972. Yes,it was52 years old. When we all arrived at the end of the 3 mile dirt road I was immediately attacked by mosquitoes. They were not after anyone else, so I was doing some good keeping the little monsters off of the others. We told the family that “skookum “ was the Indian name for Bigfoot, and that this was prime country for a sighting.
There was a marvelous little wooden bridge there. A hiking trail heading deep into the bush. Mostly set up for tent camping. A vault toilet. A big flat graveled parking area where perhaps a dozen RVs could set up. - Kat R.Scout

Silver Falls State Park
So beautiful, clean, and staff is friendly!
This was one of my favorite established campgrounds I stayed at on my roadtrip through Oregon. The big trees are perfect shade and beautiful. The roads are perfect for biking and there’s a bike trail in the campground that leads you straight to the park. Bathrooms and showers are clean and well taken care of. There is an incredible trash and recycling center at the front of the camper ground. Campsites can be decently close to one another, so not secluded but that wasn’t an issue for me. Obviously with family’s there’s going to be noise early in the morning and late at night so just be aware of that. But I didn’t mind, and wish I could have stayed here one more night. Something I was also pleasantly surprised by was how the trees blocked excessive heat. There was a heat wave going on during the time I was there but I didn’t have a problem at all here. It was such a relief.
