Best Campgrounds near Glendale, OR

The Bridgeview RV Park is nice, comfortable, clean and quiet. The only exception is that I-5 is right across the river. During the day it's not so bad, but I like playing music to sleep to at night (one of two reasons I didn't rate it five stars). The hosts are great, and the campground is certainly shipshape. Restrooms, showers, laundry, clubhouse and board game area, just all-around nice. Each space has their own sliver of grass; sites are paved and mostly level. The only other reason I didn't rate at five stars is that we are a bit close, but other than seeing the trailers, it's remarkably quiet day and night.

People float and boat by on the river, fishing. The City of Rogue River is a quaint town, small and friendly, and within walking distance of the campground. The picture on the bridge was taken at I walked to town, a five-minute walk to the bridge over the Rogue River.

My family and I have been camping periodically the fairgrounds for a couple of years now.

The grounds used to be well maintained, dump station was free to registered guests, WiFi was decent enough for steaming shows, you were allowed 1 tow vehicle before they started charging, shower access from 8am to 8pm every day and if you needed to make a middle of the night trash run for whatever reason you could.

Now, you have to pay for the dump station no matter what, shower access is limited to if you can get the host to come and unlock them long enough for you to shower (which we have yet to be able to do the last couple times weve been to the park), you have to pay for ALL vehicles and if you have a 5th wheel or any other tow RV you have to keep the tow vehicle WITH the RV the entire stay (and yes you are now charged for the tow vehicle even with a towed RV), the wifi has massive amount of restrictions on it now to the point its basically useless even if you manage to connect to it, most designated fire pits are fire hazards with the amount of growth in them, and recently they have been shutting off the water without notice during high heat days to the point the sheriff's had to come out and talk to the host. Oh, and if you want to file a complaint to the managers in the office for the fairgrounds, it will only cause you issues because they ARE the hosts.

This decline only started when the office managers took over being the hosts. I have no idea why they did since the host before them was an amazing host (and is currently at another campground after they fired her) but they seriously need someone to take over hosting that will actually do the job.

Hidden little gem 7 miles east of Golden Beach. Dry campground with 70ish sites. About 1/3 of them back up to the Rogue River. Also access for fishing/swimming. There is a bathhouse with quarter showers as well. 1 bar cell service for calls/text, but not great streaming. Came in on. Friday afternoon not expecting to get a site but was able to secure one on the water. It’s busy but not packed. They do have firewood for sale. $15 per night. There is a fire ring and picnic table at every site. All are first come first serve, only group sites are reservable. Only knocking it down one star because it’s cash or check only and that was not advertised on their website so I had to drive back to town to get cash out. Otherwise great hidden gem.
