    Welcome to On The River Golf & RV Resort! We have been on the South Umpqua River in Myrtle Creek, just south of Roseburg, since 1990. Our resort is nestled in a beautiful valley and is situated on the South Umpqua River. With four thousand feet of river frontage to fish, swim, float, pan for gold, or just sit alongside and enjoy life at its finest. We think you'll agree that this is one of the most beautiful RV Parks in Oregon. In addition to river activities, we have 130 acres of hiking trails, horseshoe pits, catch and release fishing in our private pond, and much more.

    Umpqua's Last Resort & Oregon Mountain Guides

    An adventure and accommodation for everyone!

    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.

    Great place to enjoy the Umpqua River!

    This is a great find! The lower loop has no hookups and it is definitely made for smaller rigs. I was sweating it to get our 30ft 5th wheel out of there! The upper lip has hookups and is easier to maneuver for larger rigs. The day use area is nice. Rocks in the river are super slippery! Nice Frisbee golf course. 5 yurts for rent also. Fairly good shade. Showers cost to use.

    Crescent Lake Campground

    This is one of 3 campgrounds on the lake and by far the busiest. Sites are larger than normal so you aren't sitting onto of each other. Some sites overlook the lake and the rest sit in a very relaxing forest setting. There are yurts on site that are really nice.

    Camp host is awesome (Summer of 2020) and bathrooms (outhouses) are cleaned every morning. Potable water available all over the campground.

    Lots to do!

    Large park with tent spaces, rv hookups, and yurts! Oak grassland doesnt provide very many bushes to hide behind, so absolute privacy is hard to achieve when the park is busy. Sprawling and varried disc golf course with some spectacular long shots, and tight trees. Play structure for the little ones, boat ramp, waterfront sites on the renown North Umpqua river (great fishing and swimming), shower facilities (lots of bathrooms, some flushing, some pit toilets).

    Great place to just get outdoors, without being too far from stores and humanity.

    Good Spot for River Fun

    Tons of campsites around this area. We found this one looking for vacancies one weekend. Spot was close to the opening but road noise wasn't too bad. Site itself was on the smaller side. Just had our tent this time around no spots for trailers. Bathrooms werent the greatest, very smelly for the summer time. They did have some yurts on site and larger group areas. Close to clackamas river so fishing and swimming was easily accessible. No internet out here! (Verizon) Also if you need cash closest store was Promitory Park.

    You Could Do Better, You Could Do Way Worse

    This sneaks away from the main road and has a confident small river, plus there’s a huge variety of sites of all sizes (+ a couple of yurts). You’ve got good hiking if it suits your fancy and it’s easy to combine sites if you want even more space. Add professional camp hosts, romantic and amazingly functional hand water pumps and rich greenery, and you’ve got some good memories. An annoying fence separates a lot of sites from the river, and there might be more spectacular scenery elsewhere, but Fish Creek won’t let you down. A good place to not be lonely.

    Ranger review at whistlers bend county park with Goal zero lighthouse 250 lantern

    147 acres. 50 sites 14 are power. Large area for group camping. They have 2 yurts. Disc golf rated number 2 in nation. child play area and free parking for campers. You can apply for a veterans card and camp free. The fishing is great and they have a boat ramp. I would recommend this place, but if your in the group area it can be a little noisy. The goal zero lighthouse 250 really lit up the camp site. And it charged my phone. Would definitely recommend goal zero products.

    Delightful!

    Wonderful park and delightful hosts! Clean toilets; open 730am-900pm during summer, and 8am-8pm other times. The RV faces a wonderful park. There’s a nice trail to walk or run around the park, and also by the river minutes away. There are 2 spaces for tent camping, and 11 available RV sites and all are pull-throughs but one. And if you don’t have either a tent or camper you can rent the 5-person yurt with bathroom and kitchen (but no stove, just microwave.) There are stores, a hamburger joint and a coffee shop just down the road; in fact there’s a 24-hr mini store you’ll drive by on your way to the RV park.

    Whistlers Bend County Park

    Pretty, popular campground near Roseburg, OR

    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!

    Ranger Review: TEPUI Luxury sheets - Kukenam 3 at Fish Creek Campground

    Ranger Review: TEPUI Luxury sheets - Kukenam 3 at Fish Creek Campground

    Campground Review:

    The drive to Fish Creek Campground on the 224 (Clackamas hwy) is beautiful. You’ll be surprised by sudden breathtaking views of the river along the way while delving deeper into a sea of beautiful green trees. We chose this campsite because it is reasonably close to a few of Oregon’s most interesting hot springs and we ended up visiting Bagby during our trip. The campsite itself has everything you would expect from a somewhat remote campground including a horrifying bathroom scene (not to mention the mouse that surprised me when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night). There are a few sites with river access but ours (spot 8) was blocked from the river with a small fence. There are also a couple of yurts you can rent that include bunk beds and some advanced shelter as compared to tent camping if you have kids with you. I’d give this campsite a 3 out of 5 stars, and can promise you there are many better sites along the way if you book early. This has everything you need for minimalist camping, but be aware that you probably won’t be able to start a campfire if you visit in August/early September. 

    Product Review:

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt I get to review some great and often very practical products. This trip I was lucky enough to upgrade my Tepui Kukenam 3 rooftop tent with Luxury sheets.

    I chose the blue sheets to compliment my Haze Grey tent (the other option is green). I have to admit I was a little hesitant to admit that sheets could be a necessary part of camping. It is after all referred to as “roughing it” but I have to say that adding these sheets to my rooftop tent has made a huge difference. I put the bottom sheet on the first night and left it on when I folded the tent down for the night. It stayed in place perfectly, and these sheets are so much softer than the green, rough, water resistant cover that sits on the mattress by default. Now that I have these sheets I can’t imagine sleeping up there without them. I still used my sleeping bag along with the sheets and an extra blanket because it was pretty chilly at night, but the added comfort the sheets provided took my comfort to the next level. I highly recommend them to anyone sleeping in a rooftop tent!

    This beautiful lake is nestled between the mountains near hwy 58. We visited in Auguat, 2018 and the water was quite warm and it has a rock bottom. This combo in Oregon makes for rare swimming conditions! There are many camp grounds and a resort located on the south end.

    Baker Bay Campgrounds & Marina - a Lane County Park

    Nice family centric campground on Dorena Lake

    The Baker Bay Campground and Marina is a county park outside of Cottage Grove, Oregon. It has a boat launch and boat rentals. There are several huge inflatable water structures in the bay which kids can play on for a fee. The concession stand is currently under construction however there is plenty of green space for picnics. There is a large play structure, horseshoes, and a sand volleyball pit.

    Great site for families with kids.

    Decent main restroom and showers however, the vault toilet near the main camping spots was the WORST I have ever been near. I can't imagine how people near the toilet could stand being there - especially in the heat of the summer.

    Susan creek camping

    A takeout point on the N Umpqua river trail, this is a reservation only campground. However, there is a phone in the campground you can use to make a reservation! I didn’t try it, but I am betting it is a dedicated line so you couldn’t use it to make other calls. The sites next to the river/riverside are really nice even though not all have river views or access. Access trails are steep, users be warned. Even though the campground is next to the highway, the river really drowns out the noise in the day and there are few cars at night. While the showers are temporarily closed due to Covid, the bathrooms are nice and clean and feel new-er. I love that Oregon has put so many sink water disposal units in their campgrounds, really makes a person feel a bit cleaner and safer.

    Quiet campground, but watch for Algae

    One option when looking for a campground last minute during the summer close to Eugene, Oregon. This one is not usually very busy during peak season in my opinion.

    This is a primitive campground so no hook ups for your rv. Bring the generator if your needing a power source during the day.

    There are restrooms/ showers on site along with drinking water, a playground, and an rv dump station. Picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Trails are nearby along with a beach/ swimming area at Dorena Lake. Watch for signs of Algae or Swimmers Itch as it has been present the past few years at Dorena Lake.

    Overall its a great last minute campground not far from town ( Cottage Grove- Eugene), but doesn't make my list of top 5 if I can make reservations a head of time.

    Ranger review: Primus Lite + backpacking stove kit at Rujada campground

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I have the distinct pleasure to tryout and review gear from great outdoor companies. This is my ranger review of the Primus Lite+ backpacking stove kit at Rujada campground in Oregon.

    Campground review

    Rujada is smaller campground located just south-east of Cottage Grove, Oregon; up Bryce creek rd.

    This is a nice, well-maintained campground right on Layng Creek, in a heavily wooded area. It offers 15 campsites, some of which can be reserved online and others are first come, first served. The sites are quite unique to each other, some offering privacy, some larger and open, and a couple just off the "Swordfern trail" next to the creek. You can hear the creek's small waterfall from most of the sites, and there is even a couple of spots on the creek to take a dip; if you wish.

    The "Swordfern trail" starts at the day use area; where you can find a large ball field, horseshoe pits and a tiny playground. The trail continues into the forest following the creek, until it takes a big bend back around to the campground. It is an easy to moderate 2 or so miles, that I feel is family and dog friendly, as the grounds allows pets. If you want bigger hiking payoffs, just up the road approx. 6 miles, you can find "Pinard", "Moon", and "Spirit falls". Each are around 2 easy hiking miles and worth hitting, you can easily do all three in one day. I highly recommend these falls as they are some of the better, lesser known falls in Oregon.

    As for amenities; Rujada has two restroom facilities, one pit and one gender-specific flush, with sinks, located nearby the day use area. They also have trash service, recycling, water bibs and dish water troughs. There are no r.v. specific sites, so no power or sewer hookups. Each site also offers the expected firepit rings as well as awesome picnic tables made from big timbers from back in the day.`

    I liked this campground overall for its small size and more primitive nature, I will return and use it for a good jumpoff point for the many beautiful hikes nearby.

    Product review

    Primus Lite +

    https://primus.us/products/eta-lite-7?variant=17262691525

    The Primus Lite+ is a great, light and well built integrated backpacking stove/pot kit from the makers of the original soot free kerosene stove back in 1892. These stoves have come a long way, now offering auto start piezo igniters, no need for manually lighting with a match.

    The integrated pot system is attached with a grasp on the neoprene surround and a twist. No need to worry about your pot falling off while boiling water. If you would rather use your ol' trusty pot or kettle; it does have 3 small pegs that can be screwed into the burner to better balance your cookware. These pegs also attach to the pots strap and are at hand anytime. For more stability it also comes with two more options, one is an included tripod stand that fits 3 size fuel bottles. The other is a sweet, included hanging lanyard, so if you can't find a suitable surface, you can hang it from a nearby branch.

    If you purchase the smallest size fuel canister, all items(less the tripod) will fit into the integrated pot, taking up the least amount of space possible in your pack.

    This unit burns very hot, as the flame is concentrated directly on the pot and is not very adjustable. It does boil water very quickly though, 3-4 min. depending on conditions. I do feel that it might not be the best unit for cooking food as I could see it easily burning the food to the bottom. I might try rice or soup, just keep an eye on it. It is a perfect setup for making Mountain house meals and I love it for my coffee.

    My only criticism would be the pouring spout, or lack thereof. The cap has a hole for pouring with two alongside to allow for airflow. My problem, which may be user error, is most times I'm pouring, the water spills down the side of the pot. I tried to pour quicker, or slower, at an angle, and almost always have this problem. It is getting better each time I try, so hopefully I can solve this soon.

    All and all a great unit and does all that would be expected from this type of system, with some cool unique features. I recommend this to any backpacker or even the casual camper.

    Very Quite and Relaxing

    We stayed one night on August 17 through August 18, 2019, in campsite A5, the overnight cost was$24, there was no electrical or water service). The site was level, only needed 2 inch lift to level left side. The campground is at an elevation of 5180 ft. 

    Access to the campground was right off hwy 138, which is a few miles from the north entrance to Crater Lake. Our 28 ft travel trailer easily fit with room to spare in our site. Once we enter the campground, the asphalt pavement surrounds the campsites as we drove directly to our campsite, each campsite pad also asphalt. Weather was sunny upper 80's, the nights low 40's. 

    This is a very quite campground, there was no noise from main road entering the campground. Activities we enjoyed at the campground to keep busy was hiking and moutain biking. The restroom was a couple spaced down from our campsite. The free showers were also easy to find and had great water pressure. The lake is very nice, smooth water and a few mosquitos, but not that bad. 

    My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we will stay again next time we travel to Crater Lake, Oregon.

    So happy this campground re-opened after fire damage

    General: 30-site BLM campground on the North Umpqua River. No hookups. 

    Site Quality: All sites are level and paved. An extra-large picnic table, bbq, and fire pit complete the site. You will likely hear the river from all sites but the best sites back up to the river (3-7; 22-30) and sites 4-7 have a view of the river. The sites on the other side of the loop have, while functional, evidence of the wildfires that closed this campground for a while. 

    Bathhouse: Brand spanking new in 2022! Five individual shower stalls, and one handicap toilet/sink room in addition to the men’s and women’s bathrooms. The bathrooms had signs indicating they were not currently cleaned up to the Oregon Health Authority, but I thought they were very clean! 

    Activities: You can hike the Emerald Trail to the Day Use area which accesses a trail to Susan Creek Falls. Roundtrip from the campground is just short of three miles. Be aware of poison oak all along the trail! In addition, we were warned to be cautious of burned trees/branches/debris falling on us, particularly if it is windy. This was not a problem when we hiked but we were glad to be aware. The North Umpqua Trail runs for miles in either direction from the campground. 

    We happened upon this campground by chance after dark four years ago; what has changed is that it is now reservation only. I love the peacefulness of this campground and falling asleep to the sound of the river; it is one of the few campgrounds we have visited that I loved returning to. So happy it re-opened after fire damage!

    Very large lakeside campground

    This is a very large campground with over 200 sites.  I stayed overnight, July 3, 2023.  I was a walk in .  The ranger office was closed when I arrived and they did not have a list of available sites posted.  I found a site, K11, without any reserved tag and spent a wonderful night.  There was a very strong onshore breeze from the lake that kept the mosquitoes grounded and I didn't really need repellant.

    The campground is two halves.  In the upper half, the campsites are higher, above the lake.  To the south or east, the sites are closer to the lake.  Water was only available (non threaded faucets) outside the flush latrines, which were not very well kept (mostly due to the dead bugs).  There is not electricity and I was only able to get 2 bars on Verizon.  I could get a text through, but rarely a photo.

    I have camped throughout Oregon and what impressed me as different were the large number of tent campers.  More than half were tent camping, though the site would fit small to medium size rigs.  I only saw one Class A and few trailers.  Noisy neighbors can be a problem, as the sites though not exactly next to each other, are still close.  The roads and parking for sites are paved, but some have very steep driveways.  Be careful in your site selection if you have a long trailer or RV.

    There are some nearby stores and gas station if you need, but very little else.  A very beautiful spot with lots to do and see nearby.

    beautiful river spot

    I love camping here! Lots of trails to explore some with waterfalls, green and shaded, fish or swim in the river, lots of recreational activities nearby. Clean and well kept with spacious campgrounds. Awesome campground with full hookups, showers, picnic tables, fire pits, and a great location next to the river. Firewood available for purchase and the host was nice. Beautiful spot in the umpqua national forest.

    Great find!

    We arrived just after dark when we had no idea where we would land for the night and were pleasantly surprised. Level, paved sites that are very spacious. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, and bbq. Privacy is due to many mature trees throughout. Exceptionally clean bathrooms with soap and hand sanitizer. Didn’t check out the showers but I would assume they are in the same condition. Firewood available for a reasonable $6 per bundle. Our site (13) didn’t have hookups and maybe I did not see that others did (another reviewer mentioned them) but at $20 ($10 with senior lifetime pass), this place is a good deal. Pretty much non-existent cell service. We fell asleep to the sounds of the rushing North Umpqua River. Small amphitheater and horseshoe pits, along with several trails. Very quiet on a Tuesday the week before Memorial Day but I imagine it would be very different at the height of the summer with rafting and fishing.

    Question: Are there a lot of mosquitos at this campground?

    I have a reservation at the end of July and am wondering if there are a ton of mosquitos.  I remember going to Clearwater Falls one time and the mosquitos were plenty.  Thanks. Jo
