Best Tent Camping near Jacksonville, OR

This NFS campground is located on the Rogue River. Sites are very dispersed and full of Redwoods with river at your back. Doesn’t get much better than this for tent camping.

Its a nice little campground. I think its a little expensive for tent camping at $15 a night. Also the out houses are kinda weird. They aren’t normal USFS pit toilets, they are out houses.

The tent sites are right by the lake and are so so pretty. The hosts are super friendly and the store has everything you need. Would definitely come back in the future.

Me and my daughter did some tent camping here in August.

  We got massive space in the trees overlooking the lake, quite private. 

 Some of the larger spaces are quite open for tents, but everyone seemed to be having a great time.

 Great family camp ground. and near the town of Shady Cove for groceries. And not far to Crater Lake.

Nice place.

We were down in Southern Oregon for the Caves.

 We stayed in the Heron loop which was the smallest and most primitive, It was wonderful and we had the whole south of the lake to ourselves. Firewood here is not bundled and since it was off season we got a huge amount for$5. The hosts were terrific. This was a wonderful quiet stay.

 Will always be back.

This year it was pretty spendy for a tent site $24

relaxed atmosphere and reasonably priced for car and tent camping, plus camping fees include access to the rejuvenating sulphur-rich hot spring pool, swimming pool and sauna. this is right in the Ashland/Medford metro area so is very convenient for travel days when you have things to do in town. also hosts interesting events like yoga classes and live music!

Fish Lake reaper is located on the beautiful Fish Lake. We had a tent site and it was huge! However limited privacy. This is definetly a RV campground. You will be right next to your neighbor. However, the staff are friendly and the restaurant was good. They even had live music.

This is a great place to stay that has all you could need! Cell reception, WiFi, pool, hot tub, Ashland is like 5 minutes away, restrooms, even a sauna! Clothing is optional in the pool area let at night so be aware if you’re not into that or have kids. tent sites aren’t separated meaning you pitch your tent in an area where everyone else does. Other than that, I Highly recommend!

We came in mid march so they were still technically in their “off season”. All the staff I spoke to were very kind and helpful. There was no one else tent camping so we had the whole area to ourselves. Since it was the off season the store, bathroom and restaurant were closed but it’s still a really nice area to camp. It also had good cell reception. Only thing is that it was buggy when we were there.

This is a nice county park on the banks of the mighty Rogue River. Tent sites, RV sites and even a Yurt or two. Close to the town of Grants Pass for shopping or whatever yet quiet. The stars shine and you can even see the Milky Way at night. Fishing is grea on this stretch of the Rogue and a favorite spot towatch the white water races over Memorial Weekend.

we love coming to lake selmac to use the yurts for winter camping. theyre heated and cozy. weve probably camped here a half dozen times or so over the past couple years, including standard tent sites. the kids enjoy the fishing and i love the view across the lake. we will probably be back again later in the year when the weather turns back to cold and rainy.

Named for a unique tree that grows here, Tree of Heaven Campground is a sweet little spot. I had tent site right on the river and nearly had the place to myself. Basically it’s set up as a loop with a large grassy area and restrooms in the middle, and a put in spot for rafters up near the larger beach. Peak summer months are very warm and ticks are plentiful, especially in the grassy areas.

The pools are nice to soak and the general vibe is good. The campground is old and worn down which I don't mind much, but it is junky feeling. There are many long term residents with lots of junk in their spaces. Some are decked out with a creative spirit other are just garbage. The playground has lots of old degrading riding toys and tent camping is basically a field. We had an RV site with partial hookups and it was barely maintained. We ended up leaving a day early.

Three stars for the pool on its own.

My family and I stayed a couple nights and we had a very relaxing time. The pier close by was perfect for Bass fishing. Not alot of boat activity which was nice. Tent camp areas were a decent size. We did see a few RV spots being used as well with hook ups. Lots of Hiking available and the owners are nice. They keep the sites clean and are very helpful if you need anything. Their water comes in daily so they say try not to wash dishes or use excessive amounts. Would recommend for a quick trip.

I first came here with my family back in the 1970’s and had such a great time I couldn’t help coming back for a visit all these years later, gladly much hasn’t changed. The resort is rustic and beautiful and everything you need. The lake is right there and the views are spectacular. Some tent sites are steps away from the shore, and other sites have hook ups for rigs. This is a great jump off spot to Klamath Falls & Crater Lake or just short drives to explore the surroundings.

We were leaving crater lake and needed a place to camp. usually we hate going to rv parks because they are loud and, no offense to anyone, ritzy. we like the rugged road camping in the woods. but this was the exception. we got a tent site, which are cheaper, and the area we were in was for tents only. therefor we were one of two people there. the bathrooms were within walking distance and we had a view of the lake. it felt very safe because there was a trooper shack and we saw them every hour of the day making sure everything was okay. we then found an awesome walking path beneath ground level and against the water. it was truly amazing.
