Best Campgrounds near Gold Hill, OR

My family and I stopped here for an overnight stay. We got in around midnight when no staff was on, but they made sure to have a welcome package for us with a direct map to our spot (super helpful). The site is easy to maneuver with all pull through spots to avoid how tricky it is to back up a big rig! There’s also a beautiful little river that runs through the property making the spot a beautiful place to stop. Would definitely stay again!

Our greeting was friendly, booking was easy, and this campground is in a great location for enjoying Ashland; however, this campground is in need of work. Our site was not level and had muddy ruts we needed to work around. The bathroom facilities are a bit rough, and the encampment of permanent residents, while quiet and probably very chill, is not a good look and would be a major turnoff for many people. The tent area looks like it could be under a freeway, rather than at an established campground. Historic mineral water soaking facilities onsite appear to be clean; note that they, and the restrooms, have the sulphur odor normally associated with natural springs. Lots of onsite trees and other vegetation; in spring this will be a charming aspect of the grounds, when it’s blooming and leafed out. In winter, the dormant vegetation I doesn’t do much to provide visual relief from facilities badly in need of cleaning, painting, and maintenance.

I camped one night right off the water. Quiet and clean. I slept great. Had 1 bar of att. Google maps took me right to it

Large, paved parking lot. Plenty of room for big rigs and vault toilets.  Some road noise, but nothing that bothered us. Great location for access to Glacier NP and a small town with a few restaurants was not far away.

Huge thanks to Rogue Snowmobilers - there was Wi-Fi available while we were there, which helped out a lot!

We absolutely loved camping here. During our off season stay it was fun and with all the ATV trails it was our favorite place to camp.

Our neighbor campers decided they could ride the trails without helmets and found out the hard way that is is a no no. They were brought back to the camp without their bikes and in the back of a National Forest Service Enforcement vehicle. After being spoken to about the importance of following the rules of the trails, they were left at camp and had to find their own way back to their motorcycles.

Fortunately we did not have the same experience. It can get very dusty so just be prepared for that. The trails are absolutely great and access to the Rogue River is just icing on the cake.

It was so nice to have areas provided for unloading bikes and ATV's so folks could safely load and unload their toys.

Stayed for over a week and the only thing is it buts up to a quad/dirt bike trail. Other than that quiet and peaceful!

The view was absolutely stunning on the first day then it turned to rainy with harsh winds and very cold the second day. Maybe I went a bit too late in the season:/ This campground is really only set up for tent campers. The place to park for vehicles is far from level. Even with camper jacks I was sleeping at an angle. If you have a van or camper I would recommend parking at one of the more level pull offs before the campground then just walking up for the view.

Excellent customer service, we didn’t have power and it was resolved while we went out to dinner. Management came to us when we returned to verify power was on! Clean tiled restrooms Coin operated laundry Cleanest campground so far, however sites are a little tight and it’s located in the city limits so if you need fast food, restaurants or vehicle service/repair, it’s all near this location.

Self check in campground with reservable sites, pick an unreserved and check in at entrance kiosk. Road is rough but site blacktop are somewhat level but rough old blacktop. Some sites are too close to the road and some nice ones by the river. No showers were available due to water shortages. Bathrooms are a little rundown.

Cute little free place to camp. RVs and group camp areas are available, as well as toilets, and water faucets next to each campsite. There is a “beach”, a small opening to a river. Not too busy as Happy Camp is quite out of the way.

We needed a place to set up for a quick sleep on our way down to Yosemite from Washington. I navigated using Google Maps due to other reviews saying Apple made it confusing. This led us right to the pond/camp sites. The road is a little rough with potholes but it’s not terrible if you just drive slow over the holes. There is a few split offs/2-way roads along this dirt road, the last one being a tree with a smiley face and an arrow leading you where to go. Didn’t get lost at all and it was already dark when we got there. No one was there, it was peaceful, clean and quiet. There is a pit toilet/bathroom with toilet paper. No trash cans so you’ll have to pack out your trash. I recommend this spot for anyone willing to drive 10-15 minutes off the freeway for some dispersed camping.

Staying here is chill and peaceful. Abigail in the office is kind and very helpful. A bit expensive but everywhere is expensive lately (and the high sewer bill is on the city not the park).
