Best Cabin Camping near Myrtle Creek, OR

For us, Umpqua’s Last Resort was, well, a last resort! This was all about location for us. Close to the North Umpqua? Check. Camping Cabin? Check. Available? Check. Expensive? Nope. It worked, but there is nothing fancy about this place. It is fairly small, was definitely quiet, had lots of blackberries ready to pluck, and has a little store down the road where we were able to get what we needed. The cabin was fine, but the shower house had seen better days. Trails and creeks were accessible from the property and it is in the neighborhood for a great day rafting, fun swimmin’ holes and Crater Lake National Park. In 2015, cell reception was spotty.

I have never camped here, as I don’t believe they tent or RV sites. However they do have a variety of lodging options from rustic cabins to more upscale suites. I’ve eaten at the restaurant many times. It’s truly a world class gem hidden in rural Oregon on the beautiful North Umpqua. You could write a book about this majestical stretch of the North Umpqua from Glide, Or on the way to Crater Lake. So worth the drive, or staying a few nights at the many campgrounds along the way. If you’re in the area, definitely make a stop at Steamboat Inn!

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!

Nice place on an Army Corps resevoir that's pretty low. Sites are smaller, I only saw 5-6 sites that would take a rig larger than 20". Great play area. A couple of cabins to rent also. Lots of trees, so good shade in the heat!

General: Located just across the street from the North Umpqua River, there is a mix of:•

* petite RV sites (RVs up to 20’ with FHU 20-30 amp- 3)

* deluxe RV sites (RVs up to 29’ with FHU 30-50 amp- 5)

* Super RV sites (RVs up to 60’ with FHU 50 amp- 7)

* glamping tents (7)

* cabins with heat and A/C(4)

* a cottage

* a tiny home

* camper

* retro bunkhouse

* retro RV 

Site Quality: We were in a deluxe RV site that had a level gravel camper pad, electric hookup, fire ring, and picnic table. Unlike most RV parks, there was a decent amount of foliage between most sites to provide a measure of privacy. 

Bath/Shower House: Two toilets, two sinks, and two showers. Clean but limited privacy for the toilets with just a curtain. Bench and hooks are outside of showers with no other separation so there is a lack of privacy there as well (did not use the shower so I cannot comment on how well it worked, although they looked nice). 

Activities/Amenities:

* Guided and Self-guided hiking tours

* Guided and self-guided mountain bike tours

* a full-day waterfall tour ($75 pp, with 24-hour advance notice)

* whitewater rafting tours

* Stream and river fishing holes

* Fly fishing and hunting

* Kayak rentals on Toketee Lake (We had hoped to do this, but the weather had other plans)

* Wi-Fi is available for $2.99 per 24-hour period per device but it was flaky at best

* There is a store with ice, firewood, food, beer, and wine, apparel, propane, diesel, and gasoline, rafts, and sleds. 

We arrived later than planned (just before dark) and it was cold and rainy the next day so we were not able to take advantage of the many nearby recreation activities but the staff recommended a nearby waterfall hike that we could do in inclement weather. We would definitely consider returning during better weather.

This was the highlight of out road trip ...although some waterfalls were closed due the the fires in Oregon...there are over 25 waterfalls tokette being my favorite... There is white water rafting...fishing na alot of hiking trails too much to do and is why I will be back

We just had to escape the crazy busy Oregon Coast so we drove inland to this county park along the North Fork of the Coquille River. There are modern flush toilets and vault toilets. Our campsite was between two waterfalls including Laverne Falls. We had a view of the smaller one from our creek side site. We paid $15.23 for site 59. Picnic table, fire ring and potable water. We were there on a Monday night with just a few campers present but the locals enjoy it on the weekends for swimming and picnicking. Beautiful setting.

The other campers reviews the OTHER Farewell Bend Campground near the Idaho Oregon state line.

This campground had a very rustic vibe to it with no open spaces. It was complete canopy cover and the river access was to a creek that was fast flowing and gave great background noise, but no swimming access. Fishing was good though I hear.

Though there were many campsites open from no shows the camp had no accommodations (cancellation after a day of no-show) to allow campers access to those sites. The sites that say they are close to others are literally so close we wouldn’t have been able to open our slides and the ROAD NOISE was awful. The bathrooms were tolerable. The camp host was not wearing a mask and when we expressed concern about the closeness of the other campsite we were told Covid was a hoax. They did allow us to switch sites but made us PAY AGAIN.

I would not ever visit this site again.

Small campground on a reservoir that was quite low. Sites are close together but there weren’t many people so no big deal. Douglas fir provides lots of shade. Clean bathrooms, flush toilets and warm showers! Quiet and peaceful.

We didn't expect much from this campground, being that it was in a County Park, but we were surprised by it.  The scenery was nice (the reservoir is low with lots of dead trees sticking out of it, so I'm not sure how much boating goes on there), and the sites were on the small side, but the campground itself is small and quiet, which is always a plus.  Bathrooms are spotless, with warm water sinks, flush toilets, hot showers, and heaters/fans that comes on automatically on cold mornings and nights.  What's not to love about that?!  We only stayed for a night coming and going on our trip, but after a week in Washington's National Parks and Forests with no showers, we looked forward to the hot showers at Chief Miwaleta.  If there were trails around the reservoir to hike with dogs, we didn't find them.  Just the same, we'd stay a night or two here again, no question.

Book early because it fills up fast.

Great campground! Clean showers and nicely maintained campsites with easy access to the river. We went in April and the campgrounds were practically empty save one group of people.

This lovely county park campground near Roseburg offers trees, shade from the summer heat, and scenery, but I'm giving it 3 stars for being crowded and somewhat noisy. I admit I was there during peak season, and spent only 1 night, but found that my tent site lacked privacy, and the structure of the gravel road and pull-ins was such that almost every site (except for 1 perimeter drive) was subject to regular vehicle and foot traffic. There is a large yurt for rent on one end of the campground, constructed on a spacious deck overlooking the creek. It appeared to be handicapped-accessible, but as I stood admiring it, I could hear traffic noise from the highway. In between my campsite and the Campground Host's was a camper full of kids in their tweens, who started roaming the small campground after 10pm, making loud, obnoxious noises and laughing hysterically at themselves. When this went on for nearly half an hour with no intervention from adults, I did shout "SHUT UP!" at them after they passed my site and seemed to direct a shout at my tent. They stopped after that, but I hated to be That Person. There were flush toilets, running water, and showers. Bathrooms had neither soap nor paper towels or a working blow-dryer for your hands, so be a good scout and go prepared!
