    Peaceful grounds, Lack of Communication

    This review is for the open camping.

    I arrived and after looking around for a long while for someone, I was given a quick pointing out of where everything generally was. A map or better signage is sorely needed.

    The grounds were peaceful. There are open-air showers, a community kitchen, sauna and swimming hole. The mini A-frames and dome look very cool, even from a distance.

    I tried out the sauna. It didn’t seem to be working for over 40 minutes. No one was around to troubleshoot. It just started working eventually on its own and was nice, relaxing.

    Sunny Valley Campground

    Very nice!

    We were here for a quick overnight in our 24' travel trailer. The place is very nice with tent, cabin, and RV sites. Our site was partial HU but they do have full HU sites. Bathrooms and showers were clean. It's close to I-5 bit the road noise was not bad and a chorus of frogs throughout the evening distracts from it. We were in spot 67 which was spacious and offered a great deal of privacy. Picnic table and fire pit on site. The nearby covered bridge is neat to see.

    No dogs allowed in domes or bell tent

    Plan to keep your pets at home if you want to stay in the domes or bell tent.  As another reviewer noted, the grounds have seen better days.  I guess that's how they keep camping prices so low.  3 stars because of the hot springs---better as a day trip and not a place to stay

    Schroeder Park

    Conveniently Located Close to Town

    This county park just outside of Grants Pass along the Rogue River is a good overnighter because it is convenient and inexpensive. 

    It’s $20/night for the tent/ non-hookup sites, $25 for water and electric (30 and 50 amp), and $30 for full hookup. Group camp is $60 and there’s a $5 per add’l vehicle fee. 

    There’s also a yurt but we didn’t see a cost listed for it. 

    The park also has FREE hot showers (trick to turn hot water on is to turn the old coin op knob). There is a boat ramp, dog park, and kid park adjacent to camping area. Park takes cash payments at kiosk near the entrance. 

    The place seems to be a local’s camp as some sites looked more like homeless camps with tarps and and array of stuff laying about. We did not feel unsafe here and everyone minded their own business, were quiet and kept to themselves. The hosts do make frequent rounds throughout the park and offer firewood for sale at $5 for 10 pieces of wood. 

    We stayed in our 26ft RV in the tent area as it was cheaper and less crowded and we backed up near the river. There is a lot of road noise especially from the road across the river. The roadway within the park is paved and sites are paved or gravel with grass surrounding. All sites are fairly level and have plenty of room. More trees in the hook up areas; the tent areas had few trees and was more open. Picnic tables and fire pits also at every site. We would stay here again if traveling through and needed a place for the night. We stayed here 2 nights during a weekend while waiting for an appointment in Grants Pass. 

    There are dumpsters here as well as trash bins throughout the campground, but no recycling. 

    Walkup sites available for that night only, or you can make online reservations 3 days in advance. 

    Good cell reception with AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.

    Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

    Valley of the Rogue River - Excellent OR State Park

    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. Knowledgeable Camp Hosts in all loops. Easy on/off access to I-5, 10 miles south of Grants Pass and 15 miles North of Medford. Oregon State Park website and contract call-in reservations.

    Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

    Lucked out!

    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. With only solar, it would have been uncomfortable for us and unsafe for our dogs, so we chanced it and scored a one-nighter in the F loop (electric and water only—AC was a necessity until the sun had long set!), thanks to the kind help of a camp host passing by on his quad! F-06 backed up to a field between the site and the Rogue River. We slept wonderfully! $39 for non-Oregon residents. It was a GIFT!!!

    Pros: 

    • Quiet
    • Space between sites
    • Clean site (host had just washed it down before our arrival)
    • Flat sites (plenty of tent campers as well!)
    • Shade from trees
    • Camp hosts
    • Clean bathrooms 
    • Free showers
    • Free, clean dump (donation box for non-campers)
    • Located on Rogue River with the massive bike path that cruises through it that connects towns along the Rogue
    • Price

    Cons:

    • Located off the I5. Traffic is like white noise for us, but for those seeking absolute silence, you won’t find it here.

    Willow lake

    Wilderness Camping with the basics - A hidden Gem

    What a fantastic lake! Secluded in the mountain back country of the Southern Oregon area - not far from Medford / Grants Pass / Siskiyou National Forest / Crater Lake

    Great boating lake for water sports, good fishing, excellent hiking and great campsites and in nearby campgrounds not listed on The Dyrt yet, you can get some really secluded sites that are just beautiful... but do not expect more than an outhouse and a spigot, a picnic table (maybe a bear box?) and fire-ring- which to me is PHENOMENAL camping. Fresh water, a bathroom and nature. Works!

    The Willow Lake County Park offers more amenities though and great wilderness. Its a beautiful little gem and gets amazing weather- from warm and sunny to random rainy thunderstorms that do not last long. Truly God-sent sunsets and sunrises.

    Great place to make some wonderful memories with streams, creeks, the lake, the forested areas, trails, canyons, fishing, hiking, canoeing and more.

    Jackson County Howard Prairie Lake Resort

    Perfect for Fathers Day

    Ice Cream and beautiful lake for swimming and kayaking. We took the family here for Fathers Day and enjoyed the entire weekend. We kayaked, rode bikes and got ice cream on out way out. Huge campsite, with access to water.

    Was a bit cold, so be sure to pack a nice jacket, and maybe a thin pair of gloves. Wind comes off the lake and the gloves helped when fishing. Lots of great spots to fish.

    If you stay awhile there is also a restaurant by the boat dock. The dining area looked nice and the food smelled amazing. I hope to try it the next time we make a visit.

    And thanks to the camphost who let us check out a half hour late because we read the paperwork wrong and thought we could check out at 2! Whoops, it’s really noon.

    Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

    Best State Campground in Oregon

    This is a great campground just outside of Grant’s Pass, OR. We used it as a stop over on the way to Crater Lake so we could get up early and get a good spot at one of the National Park campgrounds. The sites are decently far apart from one another, but there isn’t a ton of privacy. The best part is most certainly the amenities - including free showers! There’s a decent amount of shade and it’s not far from town if you need to stock up on supplies. The staff is very friendly and the bathrooms are clean.


Guide to Grants Pass

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.

What to do

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.

What campers like

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.

What you should know

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.

Tips for camping with families

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.

Tips from RVers

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.
