Best Tent Camping near Medford, OR

Good points: I think this is the cheapest campground with amenities near Ashland, only $27.50/night for a tent site with a water pump. The place didn't feel sketchy at all- although there are clearly some long term residents, it feels well-run and family friendly. Wifi was surprisingly fast and reached all the way over to the tent sites, and there is a place near the bathrooms to wash dishes. All tent sites were shady with large blackberry bushes providing privacy on three sides.

The not-so-good: the tent sites have a road right behind them that's often busy and loud. The showers in the women's restroom have unbelievably poor water pressure, and the water temp fluctuated from boiling to freezing for no reason unless you twitched the dial just right. Also, there's no place to hang a hammock near the tent sites but that's just a quibble.

Nice campground- 3 Dry RV sites open year round. Great tent camping also.

Camp ground was full so I had to find somewhere else after driving. $19 a night for tent camping.

What a fantastic lake! Secluded in the mountain back country of the Southern Oregon area - not far from Medford / Grants Pass / Siskiyou National Forest / Crater Lake

Great boating lake for water sports, good fishing, excellent hiking and great campsites and in nearby campgrounds not listed on The Dyrt yet, you can get some really secluded sites that are just beautiful... but do not expect more than an outhouse and a spigot, a picnic table (maybe a bear box?) and fire-ring- which to me is PHENOMENAL camping. Fresh water, a bathroom and nature. Works!

The Willow Lake County Park offers more amenities though and great wilderness. Its a beautiful little gem and gets amazing weather- from warm and sunny to random rainy thunderstorms that do not last long. Truly God-sent sunsets and sunrises.

Great place to make some wonderful memories with streams, creeks, the lake, the forested areas, trails, canyons, fishing, hiking, canoeing and more.

Free spot! We stayed here in a truck camper and it was perfect for the night. Big lot next to a snow shelter. Not much for tent camping although I guess you could... Much more ideal for vehicle camping.

My only complaint was the awful mosquitoes.

Would definitely stay here again.

Emigrant Lake may not be your destination if you are looking for a lot of privacy and quiet, but is a nice option to get out in nature while still being close to town. Oak Slope has some spots that can be fairly private, with nice tent camping amenities and easy access to the lakeside.

This campground is off to the right vs going to Whiskey Springs. There are trails, flat ground, fire pits, plenty of room for tent camping & RV. This is near a logging area, so you can bring your ATVs & go on the logging roads. Occasionally bear wonders through, so bring protection, otherwise worth the camping trip.

Popular state park on the banks of the Rogue River in Southern Oregon. Numerous RV camp loops with cement pads. Full-Hook-ups available, though sites are close together. There are a few that are near the shoreline of the river. Tent camping also available on-site, though the whole campground is near I-5 in that the main entrance is through a rest area. That said, it’s a well loved and well used park with nice facilities. When we were there the camp host was hosting a cool junior ranger program complete with a tent of nature artifacts and activities for the kids.

We stayed in the cabins on the lake and in the tent sites(separate occasions) both were very nice! there is plenty of fun to be had here with swimming and fishing and boating! nice restrooms with showers and plenty of water for drinking!

I don’t usually tent camp in Areas like this, but this place was nice. I camped on the lower level which was right above the river. I like that it was well lit at night but not too bright. The river was nice because it drowned out the traffic from I-5. Would stay there again.

Tent camped at Bolan Lake on Saturday, not a lot of people here which was nice. Sites have fire pit and tables, clean space to pitch tents or use rooftop tent. No WiFi or cell reception. This weekend was hot, close to 110 and being at lake was perfect. If you want peace and quiet, water access and blooming flowers with trees, this is a good spot.

It’s a pretty long dirt road to get to the campground, make sure you have good tires that can handed rocks/dirt terrain.

It is located close to I-5, so it is easy to get to. There are some really nice sites by the creek. It is quiet, has beautiful scenery. There are some sites with full hook ups. There are only outhouses and no showers, so that's why it's good if you're only staying a night or two and are tent camping. We have camped here a couple of times and it hasn't disappointed.

Next to Annie creek a few sites are available. 2 asphalt sites then maybe a dozen drive in/tent sites. Annie falls is right up the road and the creek does bring cool air from the mountains. I stayed here 3 nights, close to Crater lake and an organic grocery/motel/TV park that I loved. Smoke from Bootleg fire drove me away.
