Best Campgrounds near Marcola, OR

"Absolutely stunning campground! Silver Falls State Park offers an amazing mix of peaceful nature, well-maintained trails, and of course—the breathtaking waterfalls. The campsites are clean and spacious, and it’s the perfect spot for both families and solo adventurers. Highly recommend hiking the Trail of Ten Falls!" https://themagistv.ar/

We arrived late on a Monday - our site was reserved with our names. We had to take our 5th wheel in for unexpected service. The staff was very accommodating and booked us for another night without an issue. We would stay here again.

The marker on the map is where the information kiosk is. If you follow the road to the right of the reservoir there are some developed campsites/boat launches with a fee (and composting toilets). Keep driving. This area is freshly burned, but there are still very treed dispersed sites past the more developed ones. Pass the sign for Mona campground but before the bridge and signs that warn about falling rocks. On the left side there are five dispersed sites along the river. There is a small marker "180" at the entry to the turnoff. Beautiful and quiet. Minimal trash that we cleaned up, steep routes to the river. We were there early March, no snow.

Just starting to plan my summer trips and Dyrt is very helpful

In the past few camping visits, I have witnessed a cis man in the women's upper pool bathroom. The first time was in November 2024, I was exiting the shower completely naked and he was standing in front of the bathroom stalls looking at me. I was shocked and told him he was in the wrong bathroom and he said he "made a mistake". The second time was this past weekend in January 2025, and I was just using the bathroom and he walked out as I walked in. I reported to the front desk and they said it wasn't the first time this had happened and sent someone to look into it. I was so upset by it happening multiple times that we left a night early. I emailed the owners who said they never heard anything about it, blamed me for feeling unsafe, and said they couldn't/wouldn't do anything different to address the safety concern. If you're a woman, you know how vulnerable this is. The upper bathrooms are 24/7 and unmonitored. If you are going to go, and you need to use the bathroom after 9pm (when the lodge bathrooms close), I'd say bring mace and have a safe person stand outside this door. This is not overreacting. Sexual assault happens, Belknap should do better.

What can I say? Silver Falls is a magical place and everyone should experience it.  You can just get lost in the beauty of it all.  The cabins are small but comfortable with heat, lights, and beds.  Covered porch is nice to sit and listen to the rain.

The camp sites were decent size and they have life jackets for little ones

We rolled into this park in a torrential rainstorm just at dark. Thankfully, site 10 was perfectly level, and hookups all worked great. Clean bathrooms and gorgeous setting, even in the the rain

I stayed at Armitage for an overnight visit in the area and thought the location was quite nice: wooded with adequate facilities and plenty of space between sites. The RV park staff disappear a little before 5 pm and who knows when they come in the mornings. No wifi reception (at least where I was). Not bad overall.

As of Oct 2024 - still shut No access to bathrooms but can pay 5 for day use of their picnic benches

Close to Cottage Grove, COE spot accepted the Passport for half priced camping. 

The campground roads can be tight if you have a big rig so be careful. Because there is no power in the sites people were running generators for hours, even the tent campers.

Large groups were utilizing the group areas when we stayed, lots of children having fun. 

It would not be a destination place but okay for an overnight stay. 

Alchol ban in the park but based on the trash bins it was not enforced.

Closed due to fire damage

I’ve been here before. This park has about 37 sites with folks not on top of one another. Clean toilets and baths. $40 per night. Need to make reservations. Fills up fast. Cell service for Verizon, At&T and T-mobile are marginal. Phone calls are fine, internet varies from good speed to barely working.

Camping along side gravel road some spots better than others. Gets really busy on major holidays so go claim a spot early.
