What to do
Visit Crater Lake National Park: Located about 75 miles northeast of Medford, this destination is accessible via Highway 62. "We were looking for a stop-over camp. This RV Park is well-kept and located conveniently near Interstate 5. It is great stop over for access to Crater Lake, Bend, or points north," notes a visitor at Southern Oregon RV Park.
Explore local waterfalls: The Prospect area offers multiple waterfall hikes within a short drive. "The park was located close to Crater Lake and dozens of gorgeous hikes with waterfalls! The bathrooms are probably the only area of opportunity but they were functional and clean," shares a camper at Crater Lake RV Park.
Fish on the Rogue River: Many RV parks in the region offer direct river access for anglers. "We didn't explore the surroundings but noticed that a lot of campers went fishing at the little fishing spot across from our site," according to one reviewer who stayed at Southern Oregon RV Park.
What campers like
Quiet, natural settings: Despite proximity to highways, many parks maintain a peaceful atmosphere. "This park is only a couple miles from town yet seems like you're a world away. Plenty of shade too. The sites are kinda close but if you can get a site right on the river, it feels like you have much more room," notes a visitor to Riverpark RV Resort.
Swimming opportunities: Several RV parks near Medford offer pool access. "Recently took the family to Medford for a baseball tournament and stayed at Mr. Bigfoot RV Park. We had the best time! The park was clean and the amenities were amazing! The pool was the biggest hit with our team," reports a guest at Mr. Bigfoot RV Park.
Evening entertainment: Some campgrounds organize social activities. "Spots are nice and private. The hosts and owner are top notch. Full hook up. Easy spacious lots with enough vegetation between to provide a private feel. To top it off they have a Saturday Campfire, with music, food and drink. Open to the camp," explains a camper at Crater Lake RV Park.
What you should know
Winter accessibility: While many parks operate year-round, amenities may be limited in colder months. "Showers were closed due to COVID while we visited. Many restaurants and stores nearby. Short drive to hike on Table Rock mountain," shares a visitor to Southern Oregon RV Park.
Highway noise levels: Interstate 5 proximity affects sound levels at some parks. "Recommend a spot away from the freeway, but the noise did not bother us too much. Hiking path behind the park that connects several towns. Park also has a small fishing lake," advises a reviewer at Southern Oregon RV Park.
Reservation requirements: Popular parks fill quickly, especially during summer months. "We called hoping for availability and got lucky with their last one. Dani was super helpful over the phone and made booking seamless. Mike helped us back into our spot," explains a camper at Riverpark RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Look for parks with recreational facilities: Family-friendly amenities enhance camping experiences. "Safe, family campground with a nice shop, pool, restroom. You can rent a cabin, wagons, or a campground. There's also a dog park, which my dog loved!" notes a visitor to Sunny Valley Campground.
Consider proximity to local attractions: Choose locations near family-oriented activities. "A beautiful RV campground in south Medford, right next to Lithia Fields. Baseball just a short walk from our RV. Beautifully kept grounds, sparkling pool and attentive staff," shares a recent guest at Mr. Bigfoot RV Park.
Seek out parks with organized activities: Some campgrounds coordinate events for guests. "While traveling with my granddaughter, we came up one Sunny Valley. It was perfect. Well cared for, clean and had everything you could hope for. Nice campsites clean facilities a pool, bouncy House playground and horseshoes," mentions a visitor to Sunny Valley Campground.
Tips from RVers
Check site dimensions carefully: Not all spaces accommodate larger vehicles. "Just did an overnight stay was easy check in paved and easy for my wife to move around in a walker," notes a visitor to Southern Oregon RV Park.
Consider utility needs: Hookup options vary by location. "The Bridgeview RV Park is nice, comfortable, clean and quiet. The only exception is that I-5 is right across the river. During the day it's not bad, but I like playing music to sleep to at night," shares a camper at Bridgeview RV Park.
Use campgrounds as base camps: Many RV parks provide convenient access to regional attractions. "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," explains a regular visitor to Southern Oregon RV Park.
