    Schroeder Park offers convenient pet access to the Rogue River with a dedicated dog park for off-leash exercise. The riverfront campground welcomes pets at all accommodation types including tent sites, RV spaces, and yurts. Several campers note the dog park provides ample space for furry friends to run while owners enjoy the riverside setting. Riverpark RV Resort similarly accommodates pets with direct river access, though sites are positioned closer together than at other facilities. Valley of the Rogue State Park, Lake Selmac County Park, and Griffin Park all maintain pet-friendly policies throughout their grounds, requiring pets to remain leashed in most areas.

    Dog-friendly trails extend from several campgrounds with easy river access points suitable for pets who enjoy swimming. The Rogue River provides numerous water activities where dogs can cool off during summer months. Travelers should note that while most facilities offer waste stations, pet owners must bring their own waste bags and supplies. Campers with pets report that Schroeder Park's proximity to Grants Pass makes it particularly convenient for accessing veterinary services if needed. The parks tend to enforce quiet hours that help manage barking issues. During peak summer seasons, the riverfront locations provide essential shade and water access for pets, with several campgrounds featuring grassy areas between sites that work well for quick pet breaks without leaving the campground.

      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 Murphy

    Camping options near Murphy provide direct access to the Rogue River with sites varying from developed full-hookup parks to basic tent camping. Elevations range from 900-1,100 feet with mild summer temperatures averaging 85-90°F during peak season. Most campgrounds maintain quiet hours between 10pm and 7am to support wildlife observation in this oak woodland transition zone.

    What to do

    River access for watercraft: At Griffin Park, campers can utilize the boat ramp for convenient river entry. "We could hear it flowing all night," notes Dave S., describing the proximity of campsites to the river, approximately 50 yards from most tent sites.

    Fishing spots year-round: The Rogue River supports seasonal salmon, steelhead, and trout fishing throughout the Murphy area. "Lake Selmac is usually calm enough here where swimming is allowed and fishing/boating as well," explains Kassidy D. about water activities near Lake Selmac County Park.

    Hiking opportunities: Trail systems connect many campgrounds with varying difficulty levels. "Each day we either hiked or biked the local trails. The bike trail goes on for many miles and is quite enjoyable," writes Charlotte L. about exploring Valley of the Rogue State Park paths.

    What campers like

    Direct riverfront sites: Campers specifically seek river-adjacent sites for the natural sound barrier they provide. "If you can get a site right on the river, it feels like you have much more room," reports Kay C. about Riverpark RV Resort, where 25 sites border the Rogue.

    Off-season tranquility: Fall and spring camping offers reduced crowds and seasonal colors. "I chose this park to see the foliage in October and was not disappointed," shares Sasha K. about Indian Mary Park's autumn landscape.

    Clean, reliable facilities: Multiple campgrounds maintain well-kept shower facilities despite high usage. "Showers are super nice and clean, good pressure and hot. Campground is clean and well maintained," reports Laura M. about Griffin Park's facilities.

    What you should know

    Highway noise considerations: Interstate proximity affects sound levels at some campgrounds. "The park's CG areas run 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," advises MickandKarla W. about staying at Valley of the Rogue.

    Cash-only policies: Several county parks require physical payment. "Self check in if you have no reservations, one night at a time due to people reserving online," explains Laura M. about the payment system at Schroeder Park.

    Cell service variations: Connectivity differs significantly between locations, affecting remote work possibilities. "No cell service here, but the cell booster gave us some connection on both the Verizon and ATT phone," notes Laura M. regarding signal at Indian Mary Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Recreation equipment access: Some parks provide sporting equipment to borrow during your stay. "They do also provide basketballs, disc golf discs, horseshoes, etc. available for checkout for free," mentions Laura M. about amenities at Indian Mary Park.

    Playground proximity: Strategic campsite selection can position families near play areas. "Fenced off leash dog park, bike trails, fishing, clean bathrooms and showers, tent and yurt camping and more," highlights Kelly N. about family amenities at Valley of the Rogue State Park.

    Swimming access points: Designated swimming areas provide safer water entry for children. "The water was flowing fairly quickly due to the high snowfall this year, but there was a great rocked-off area just down from our campsite where you could get into the water and wade around without the fear of your dog or child getting swept away," shares Andy H.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling challenges: RVers should anticipate uneven parking pads at some locations. "Sites are so unlevel that I don't think our leveling blocks would have made a dent," cautions Laura M. about Whitehorse County Park.

    Sewer connection placement: Hookup locations vary between campgrounds, sometimes requiring repositioning. "Sewer hole was towards the middle of the site so we had to pull forward in the morning to dump," notes Laura M. about the layout at Griffin Park.

    Seasonal pricing fluctuations: Rate increases affect value calculations for longer stays. "Now they are $40 for FHU and $35 for PHU. $35 for FHU was kind of pushing it and $40 just feels like too much," observes Laura M. regarding Schroeder Park's seasonal pricing adjustments.
