"Restroom with sink, the lake you can walk around, clean sites with lots of room and shade. Not reservable."
"The marked camping spaces are huge with a lot of space between you and the next closest site. Amazing views across the water. We only stayed for a bit but plan on going back for an extension stay!"
"White Creek has 4 Sites and the privacy isn't great but if you show up early on Thursday and pay 40 dollars a night you can usually get the whole place to yourself. "
"The location is gorgeous right next to the water. There is a bit of higheay noise but it is mostly drowned out by the river.
Two pit toilets, the male toilet is missing the lid."
"A standard forest service campground, it is small with only 7 sites on a lollipop loop, sandwiched between the highway and the river."
$125 / night
"In addition to the ball field, there are horseshoe pits and plenty of room to rig a volleyball net or set up other group games."
"This is park as minimal amenities, and is pretty far away from anything. The reason to come here is the swimming and the beauty."
"The spots are good sized and most of them have good privacy."
"it sits 1 mile off of Steamboat road 1 hour outside of Roseburg Oregon. "
"On the map this doesn’t look particularly well placed, but it’s actually an easy shot to Crater Lake or to other activities in the Rogue River valley and the Central Cascades."
TravelerI had a great experience here The campground was clean, the leave no trace policy is followed here. Quiet hours are 10pm - 6am, it was quiet even during the non-quit hours. Very private. There are running water spigots strategically placed throughout the camp, each water station has a waste water dump, and trash can. There are flush toilets with running, a sink and trash can. The garbage was picked up daily. Each site was a tent pad, fire pit and large table. Each site was very private, I couldn't see the other campers unless they were passing by our site. There is no internet, no electricity, and no showers, bring your own. The only negative was the mosquitos - easily resolved with a netted day tent or pop-up with mesh. Laying Creek sounds heavenly all throughout the camp, the trails are great to walk, and you will eventually wander to a swimming hole. Beautiful campground, with a great history going back to 1933. Highly recommend!
LegendGeneral: Located just across the street from the North Umpqua River, there is a mix of:•
* petite RV sites (RVs up to 20’ with FHU 20-30 amp- 3)
* deluxe RV sites (RVs up to 29’ with FHU 30-50 amp- 5)
* Super RV sites (RVs up to 60’ with FHU 50 amp- 7)
* glamping tents (7)
* cabins with heat and A/C(4)
* a cottage
* a tiny home
* camper
* retro bunkhouse
* retro RV
Site Quality: We were in a deluxe RV site that had a level gravel camper pad, electric hookup, fire ring, and picnic table. Unlike most RV parks, there was a decent amount of foliage between most sites to provide a measure of privacy.
Bath/Shower House: Two toilets, two sinks, and two showers. Clean but limited privacy for the toilets with just a curtain. Bench and hooks are outside of showers with no other separation so there is a lack of privacy there as well (did not use the shower so I cannot comment on how well it worked, although they looked nice).
Activities/Amenities:
* Guided and Self-guided hiking tours
* Guided and self-guided mountain bike tours
* a full-day waterfall tour ($75 pp, with 24-hour advance notice)
* whitewater rafting tours
* Stream and river fishing holes
* Fly fishing and hunting
* Kayak rentals on Toketee Lake (We had hoped to do this, but the weather had other plans)
* Wi-Fi is available for $2.99 per 24-hour period per device but it was flaky at best
* There is a store with ice, firewood, food, beer, and wine, apparel, propane, diesel, and gasoline, rafts, and sleds.
We arrived later than planned (just before dark) and it was cold and rainy the next day so we were not able to take advantage of the many nearby recreation activities but the staff recommended a nearby waterfall hike that we could do in inclement weather. We would definitely consider returning during better weather.
GuideDry Camping
Upside - Right on the lake and lots of spots with shade which would be good for summer heat.
Downside - no alcohol permitted (loosely enforced it seems). And the restrooms and dump station are being rebuilt as of May 2024 and it will likely take a year or more. There are porta-potties. You are allowed to dump at the facility up the road for no cost.
ScoutWe stayed at this campground over Memorial Day weekend in a C loop single site, and there was no disappointment! The mosquitos were fairly tame, the water was pure and clean, other campers kept quiet and to themselves, and the facilities were above our expectations for a state-run campground. No shortage of large, flat spaces of soft ground in campsites all ready for tents. Only a two minute drive from the resort and store!
GuideWe found this great camping spot called Lemolo Fairbay #2 it had approximately six designated camp spots with fire ring, and picnic tables. It also had a very clean toilet. There is a nice small reservoir that you can swim or float in. Warning, water was very cold. Very easy to access with our truck and travel trailer. Primitive camping no hook ups. Must be self contained! It was very close to umpqua Hot Springs, and  Toketee falls. We stayed three days and two nights Thursday through Saturday.
ScoutThere are only three spots in this cozy little campground, but I ended up being the first and only one here on a Tuesday in July. There are little trails to explore, but I took advantage of the empty campground and took a nap in my hammock in one of the day use areas on the other side of the creek.
There is one vault toilet, no hookups, no water, and it would be a massive struggle to turn around a trailer or RV. No cell service. None of the sites border the creek, and none of them are particularly private, but they were all clean, and the creek is loud and pretty.
GuideWe got in at about 9:00 pm and had to leave the following morning at 8:00. The vault toilet was clean and not especially stinky. The campsite was large and very flat, with a picnic table and fire ring. There is a nice waterfall right nearby and the surrounding first is beautiful.
GuideWe stayed one night on August 17 through August 18, 2019, in campsite A5, the overnight cost was$24, there was no electrical or water service). The site was level, only needed 2 inch lift to level left side. The campground is at an elevation of 5180 ft.
Access to the campground was right off hwy 138, which is a few miles from the north entrance to Crater Lake. Our 28 ft travel trailer easily fit with room to spare in our site. Once we enter the campground, the asphalt pavement surrounds the campsites as we drove directly to our campsite, each campsite pad also asphalt. Weather was sunny upper 80's, the nights low 40's.
This is a very quite campground, there was no noise from main road entering the campground. Activities we enjoyed at the campground to keep busy was hiking and moutain biking. The restroom was a couple spaced down from our campsite. The free showers were also easy to find and had great water pressure. The lake is very nice, smooth water and a few mosquitos, but not that bad.
My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we will stay again next time we travel to Crater Lake, Oregon.
GuideI started to stay here as a walk in on July 3, 2023, but was overwhelmed by the mosquitoes. There are plenty of very private sites sloping down to the lake and more importantly, the marsh. The roads are paved as are the sites. Water, but no electricity. No camp host and onlyt 1-2 bars on Verizon
