Best Tent Camping near Myrtle Creek, OR

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

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.

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!

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.

Staff was extremely friendly, professional and attentive. They have everything super clean on bathrooms, kitchen and around the park. Tent sites has electricity and picnic tables. They also a full kitchen to cook with free coffee and perishable food. They had free movie night on big screen with free popcorn and a nice forepit.

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.

The tent sites are fairly close together, but it was not crowded when we were there. There is a swimming hole and lots of access to the calm river. There is a fountain of potable water at every site, decent bathrooms, and even hot showers. The sites were shady, some were very close to the "main road" which really doesn't get much traffic.

I read reviews before I came and knew what to expect. It was convient to pull off Hwy 5 after a long trip with 4 kids and set up camp quickly. We had a tent site -A9 and it was a roomy site close to a very clean bathroom. It was definitely close to the freeway and you can hear the car traffic, but we were so tired that it was nice white noise.

There was a nice trail by our site and it runs along the river, which can be accessed in a few places where the brush has been cut back. We would definitely stop here again on our way up to Wa again.

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!

Steamboat Falls Campground has 9 sites.  it sits 1 mile off of Steamboat road 1 hour outside of Roseburg Oregon.  Site 1 and 2 are on top of each other and should be rented together, which makes it $20 a night but its worth for privacy(To help, 1 has a good view of a water fall).  Site 3 is small and on the road.  Site 4 is huge and definitely the one you want.  It's got room for at least 3 tents and has an amazing view. Site 5 and 6 are good size sites but they don't have much privacy between them, thats another set I usually rent together. Site 7, 8, and 9 have 1 tent pad. There is a day use area with an amazing view, and 2 different trails that takes you to the water.(great swimming and rocks to jump off of)   I will add a video tour of the park.  One negative to this place is Poison Oak, but there are a few signs on the fences showing you what it looks like.

I feel like I should probably like this campground more, after reading other reviews that call it the "best campground in Oregon" and such, for me it was just kind of meh. The campground is huge with numerous loops full of RVs and tents, and there's plenty of grass and space for running around, but most of the sites are really on top of each other without much in the way of privacy in-between. It's also right off the I-5 freeway and you can definitely hear the traffic.

For us the absolutely best park was the ranger program/camp host activity that was going on while we were there. They had water activities, a tent to check out animal skulls and such, and lots of kids hanging out and playing. I don't know, however, if that event was specific to the awesome camp hosts who were there at the time or if it's always going on.

Overall a pretty basic campground with some major drawbacks including the traffic noise and less-than-exciting campsites, though we never made it down to the river, which I'm sure would have been a lot more fun.

White Creek has 4 Sites and the privacy isn't great but if you show up early on Thursday and pay 40 dollars a night you can usually get the whole place to yourself.  White Creek has two beaches, one under a beach.  It has a trail that takes you to a cave.  Site 1 is real big with a couple tent spots, and a good hammock spot.  Site 2 has a couple Tent spots.  Site 3 has a couple tent spots.  Site 4 has 1 tent spot.

Loon Lake Campground sits on Loon Lake about 40 minutes outside Reedsport Oregon. This campsite is somewhat private with enclosures from plants/foliage and well kept, but also sits right on the roadside across from Loon Lake and you will need to cross the road to get to the day-use and lake acess area. There is enough room for RVs trailers and/or tents and per usual vault toilets and campfire rings. Make sure to bring your own water.

While staying at this site, if you like to day-trip and see the area I advise that you go up the road and eat a meal at the Loon Lake Resort restaurant and possibly rent a boat or go fishing off of their pier. Reedsport is a fun, little town and is the nearest grocery store for forgotten items.

Was set to Harvest Host (dry camp) at a delicious brewery in Grants Pass, OR, for a one-night stopover, but area temps were a scorching 102 degrees. With only solar, it would have been uncomfortable for us and unsafe for our dogs, so we chanced it and scored a one-nighter in the F loop (electric and water only—AC was a necessity until the sun had long set!), thanks to the kind help of a camp host passing by on his quad! F-06 backed up to a field between the site and the Rogue River. We slept wonderfully! $39 for non-Oregon residents. It was a GIFT!!!

Pros: 

• Quiet
• Space between sites
• Clean site (host had just washed it down before our arrival)
• Flat sites (plenty of tent campers as well!)
• Shade from trees
• Camp hosts
• Clean bathrooms 
• Free showers
• Free, clean dump (donation box for non-campers)
• Located on Rogue River with the massive bike path that cruises through it that connects towns along the Rogue
• Price

Cons:

• Located off the I5. Traffic is like white noise for us, but for those seeking absolute silence, you won’t find it here.

Let me start by saying that Wolf Creek has vault toilets, which accounts for my low rating. I appreciate vault toilets - especially if they’re well-maintained, as those at Wolf Creek are - but as a tent camper, I appreciate sinks and showers far more. That said, my husband and I really like this under-used little campground. It’s well-kept. It’s only about a mile from an I-5 exit, but freeway noise is barely noticeable and the local road is barely used. As tent (truck) campers, we appreciate the fact that 20 of the campground’s 34 sites, including most of the choice sites along the seasonal creek, are designated for tent use. During our first stay there, when we arrived late on a rainy night, we really appreciated the covered picnic shelter where we cooked our dinner. And finally, we appreciate that this little gem is (according to the camp host) rarely fully booked, and therefore mostly available even without a reservation. It’s a lovely, we-forested little campground, and we’ll be back.

(There are spigots with running water throughout the campground.)

The park host is nice, showers are free for campers and bathrooms are clean. $17 a night for tent no hookup $19 on weekends. Fire was allowed and there is a beautiful creek behind the campground. It's so convenient off the Interstate.
