Valley of the Rogue State Park and Whitehorse County Park both feature yurt accommodations along the scenic Rogue River, offering upscale camping experiences with comfortable amenities. The spacious yurts include electricity, proper beds, and protection from the elements while maintaining a connection to nature. "We rented a huge yurt with electricity and it's right on the Rogue River, so bring your kayaks," shared one guest about Valley of the Rogue. These weatherproof structures provide the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern convenience, with most sites offering picnic tables and fire rings outside. Schroeder Park also houses yurts near the water, providing glamping options with river views and easy access to boating facilities. These accommodations feature sturdy canvas walls, raised wooden floors, and windows that allow natural light while keeping insects out.
Guests at these glamping sites enjoy direct river access for fishing, swimming, and boating activities, with Valley of the Rogue offering a paved path for walking or biking along the waterfront. A visitor noted, "We enjoyed biking and walking along the river path and helping ourselves to the ripe blackberries." Wildlife viewing opportunities abound with local birds and river fauna visible from many glamping locations. The parks maintain clean facilities including hot showers and well-maintained bathrooms within walking distance of glamping accommodations. Whitehorse County Park provides a family-friendly environment with activities for children, while most locations offer firewood for purchase from hosts. Located just minutes from Grants Pass, these glamping destinations combine outdoor experiences with proximity to town amenities, restaurants, and shopping when supplies are needed.
"Great RV sites that are close to the River with FHU’s. Hiking paths border the river and connect the many camping loops. Stayed in loop B which has back-in’s and drive throughs."
"Was set to Harvest Host (dry camp) at a delicious brewery in Grants Pass, OR, for a one-night stopover, but area temps were a scorching 102 degrees."

GuideMy dog and I were traveling between Crater Lake and the coast to start a PCH trip. This park was the perfect midway point and we stopped by without reservations bc they only take them online three days in advance. I’m pleased with the amenities: very clean flush toilets and showers! Great atmosphere and helpful camp host. Recommend!
TravelerI live not too far away but have never stayed here before. After purchasing an RV nearby, I stopped for 2 days to test the systems out and was quite amazed how nice the place is. Nicely manicured lawns, the river nearby and very quiet. At least until garbage pickup happens at 1 AM and leaf blowers going by 9 AM.
I rarely stay at RV parks, I boondock 90% of the time so for me, I didn't like it all that much. I mean no sewer connections which makes sense but paying $50/night for a few days then have to pay $10 to dump and even worse, a friend stopped by to see my purchase and had to pay $10 just to come in? Seems a bit much to me.
TravelerI've stayed here for a few weeks at a time. The crew were very professional and accommodating. The area is beautiful! There is a pond that you can fish in without a license. Catch and release only. Tree covered sites and a pool. We have enjoyed both our stays here and will come back again!
ScoutGreat showers, clean camp and amazing camp hosts. Wood is $7 per bundle.
RangerAnother year at Loeb and I was glad to be back! Unlike my last visit I did not wind up with the best campsite this time around. At site 30 you’re really crammed into your neighbors buttcracks. Would be fine if the place wasn’t loaded to the brim with small children and permissive parents, but that is the way of popular PNW campgrounds these days. Anyway, as always the bathrooms are very well maintained, showers aren’t frightening and proximity to the Chetco is such a special treat. No fire ban in July. We later had site 11 and felt like it was way more private and quiet on that side of the campground, being not as directly apart of the loop the kids ride their bikes through. I suppose it’s luck of the draw who your neighbors will wind up being, but at Loeb just expect interaction with other people lol
GuideThis park is very remote and primitive. There are vault restrooms that were clean and stocked. Fire rings and picnic tables at each camp spot. The lake was low on water and very weedy, algae not real good for swimming. Fishing could be good, we didn't take our gear so not sure how that pans out. Mosquitos all around be sure to bring protection or they will feast on you. No cell service, no fresh water you will need to bring your own as well as fire wood. There was no road noise and we were the only people there the entire time, during the weekdays, never been there on a weekend.
ScoutNice campground... Trees large sites and wildlife. The staff is amazing, swimming pool, lake , laundry, small store and showers. We choose that park everytime we go to Medford and surrounding communities!
ScoutThis very clean, well Mai tai ed campground has both tent and RV sites that are pretty close together but still feel private. Nice path to the river. Only drawback is that it is about seven miles to town and ocean.
Traveler(1) showers and bathrooms in loops D & E are NOT ADA accessible. Dyrt asked me if the campground was accessible and I said yes too quickly- apologies to anyone relying on that info. (2) noise from I-5 is really really loud in a tent and you can see headlights from the road - we were in D32. Maybe better if you get a site farther south away from the highway. Most of the campground has RVs so noise is likely less bad in RV. (3) campground clean, manicured and quiet. Sites decently spaced but fairly open so not much privacy. (4) tent campers beware all sites (except for yurt and group camps) are RV standard with hookups so more expensive. (5) nice walk to rogue river
Valley of the Rogue State Park sits at an elevation of 1,100 feet along the Rogue River, with surrounding forest creating a moderate climate that stays cooler than nearby Grants Pass. The park experiences hot summer days with temperatures often reaching 90°F, while spring and fall camping offers milder temperatures and fewer crowds. Several yurt accommodation options exist within a 30-minute drive of Grants Pass, providing alternative shelter during the region's rainy season.
Fishing access: Whitehorse County Park offers direct river access for anglers seeking various fishing spots. "The local jet tours will often come by so keep an eye out for them," notes one visitor about fishing near Griffin Park, which sits along a calm stretch of the Rogue River suitable for both fishing and swimming.
Hiking trails: Valley of the Rogue features paved paths that extend beyond the immediate camping area. "Each day we either hiked or biked the local trails. The bike trail goes on for many miles and is quite enjoyable. You can bike into the nearby towns while staying on a safe trail," shares a camper about the extensive trail network.
Water activities: Swimming holes provide refreshing options during hot summer days. A visitor to Grants Pass KOA mentions, "Hiked down to creek with deep pools and swam," highlighting the natural swimming areas beyond the main river.
Quiet atmosphere: Many campers appreciate the peaceful settings despite proximity to town. "The place was quiet and fairly private. We got in late and it was easy to find our spot and get settled in. Easy to get off the 5 so even though you feel like you're out there, it's actually extremely close to a cute little downtown," notes a guest at Griffin Park.
Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower facilities receive positive mentions. At Schroeder Park, visitors note "FREE hot showers" with a helpful tip about how to operate them: "trick to turn hot water on is to turn the old coin op knob."
Family-friendly amenities: Parks often feature extras for children and pets. "Fenced off leash dog park, bike trails, fishing, clean bathrooms and showers, tent and yurt camping and more!" reports a camper about the various amenities at Valley of the Rogue State Park.
Highway noise: Some campgrounds sit close to Interstate 5. "This seemed like it would deter from the overall appeal, but the river noise somewhat drowned out the traffic noise," explains one camper about Valley of the Rogue State Park, noting the trade-off between easy access and ambient sounds.
Seasonal water levels: The Rogue River flow varies significantly through seasons. "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," reports a visitor, highlighting the importance of checking conditions.
Variable cell service: Connectivity depends on specific location. "Good cell reception with AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon," notes a camper at Schroeder Park, while another reports "No cell service from ATT, Verizon or TMobile along this whole river road area" at Almeda County Park.
Dog-friendly options: Many yurt camping sites near Grants Pass welcome pets. "We have a dog park, which my dog loved!" shares a guest at Sunny Valley Campground, which provides amenities for four-legged family members.
Kid-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "Safe, family campground with a nice shop, pool, restroom. You can rent a cabin, wagons, or a campground," notes a visitor about the family accommodations at Sunny Valley.
Seasonal considerations: Weather can impact family comfort significantly. "We stayed over the 4th of July, and we were close enough to towns in the area to access fireworks shows and events," mentions a camper about Valley of the Rogue, showing how holiday events can enhance family trips.
Site selection: Choose sites based on specific needs. "Our site was partial HU but they do have full HU sites," notes a camper at Schroeder Park, adding that "The sites in the middle area are pull throughs, and there are some back-ins along the side."
Leveling challenges: Some parks require additional equipment. "Sites are so unlevel that I don't think our leveling blocks would have made a dent," warns a visitor about Whitehorse County Park, suggesting RVers come prepared with robust leveling systems.
Big rig accessibility: Not all parks accommodate larger vehicles. "Very clean and big rig friendly. I have a 38' fifth wheel and it was no problem!" confirms a camper about Valley of the Rogue State Park, providing specific size information helpful for those with larger rigs.
