Water remains extremely cold, making hot weather visits optimal for pet comfort. Holiday RV Park offers a creek-side location with grassy pet exercise areas along pull-through sites, providing convenient access for late arrivals with pets. Nearby hiking trails connect to multiple towns, with walking paths surrounding fishing ponds at Southern Oregon RV Park. Jackson Wellsprings and Valley of the Rogue State Park also welcome pets at their facilities, offering additional dog-friendly campgrounds within 30 minutes of Jacksonville. Most campgrounds maintain standard pet policies requiring current vaccinations, proper waste disposal, and dogs to be under control at all times.

      Southern Oregon RV Park

      Park with all the bells

      We stay here often on our migration from PNW to the Desert for winter. It is a extremely well run park, with immaculate bathrooms and well groomed sites. Sites have concrete pad, fire pit and table with FHU. An easy off of Highway 5 and close to Costco and many restaurants. Small lake/pond with walking trail around and extra large Dog Park.

      Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

      Great Thru Campsite

      Would I describe this place as the pinnacle of what Oregon has to offer? Probably not, but for us it was perfect since we only had 5 days to travel the whole Pacific Coast from San Diego to Seattle. This was close to the freeway, so yeah definitely noise but everyone we met was really nice. Also not to far from here is a dog park so your furry half can stretch their legs in compliance with leash laws. First place we’ve stayed in Oregon and we really love it.

    Guide to Jacksonville

    Jacksonville's camping options extend throughout southwestern Oregon's Rogue Valley, where elevations range from 1,500 to 7,500 feet across diverse landscapes. Summer temperatures frequently reach 90-100°F during peak camping season, with cool mountain nights dropping to 45-55°F even in July. Winter camping remains available at several year-round sites, though facilities may be limited from November through April.

    What to do

    Fishing at stocked ponds: Southern Oregon RV Park features small fishing lakes where campers can try their luck. "There's a nice sized, fenced dog area as well. Many restaurants and stores nearby. Short drive to hike on Table Rock mountain," notes Kevin H., highlighting additional recreation options nearby.

    Swim in mountain-fed water: Mount Ashland Campground offers a dramatic elevation change from the valley with spectacular views. "The views are STUNNING with Mt Shasta in the distance and forest land extending as far as the eye can see," writes Laura M., noting the campground's hiking, biking, and winter recreation options.

    Bike regional trails: Valley of the Rogue State Park connects to an extensive network of paved trails. "You can bike into the nearby towns while staying on a safe trail," shares Charlotte L., adding "Each day we either hiked or biked the local trails. The bike trail goes on for many miles and is quite enjoyable."

    What campers like

    Natural hot springs access: Jackson Wellsprings offers a unique camping experience with mineral pools. "When you camp here for $25 a night, you are granted access to the Hot Spring and mineral pool. I love relaxing here, it is very peaceful and a great environment," shares Amanda C., noting shower and laundry facilities are available.

    Quick forest getaways: Cantrell Buckley Park provides accessible nature near Jacksonville. "The actual park is beautiful and has access to the river. Very nice campground, family friendly, close to a lot of the valley still so you're able to get something from the nearest store (about 7 miles away)," explains Autumn O.

    High elevation escapes: Mount Ashland Campground offers free camping with outstanding views. "Amazing view!! The camp ground itself is fairly primitive but very reasonable for being FREE. There pit toilets with toilet paper and picnic benches + fire pits at each spot," notes lhasa G., recommending visitors bring their own water.

    What you should know

    Seasonal temperature extremes: The Applegate River that runs through many campgrounds near Jacksonville gets extremely cold in spring but provides relief during summer heat. "The swimming holes along the river are awesome and you'll almost always find one. The river is VERY cold so best to go on a 100+ temp day," advises Autumn O.

    Highway noise considerations: Valley of the Rogue State Park sits adjacent to I-5, creating ambient noise. "The park runs along I-5 so you are going to get road noise regardless of your site. We used our sound machine at night so the road noise wasn't too bad," explains MickandKarla W., who still rated their stay highly.

    Limited availability during peak season: Jackson Campground fills quickly during summer months. "We were headed to this campground but the last 1/3 mile was blocked by gate and snow covered road. The ranger we ran into on our hike to check out the campground said that it gets packed in the summer," cautions Laura M.
