    Overview

    Tyee Campground is situated between the Pacific Coast and the city of Roseburg, Oregon. Perched on the banks of the Umpqua River, its location appeals to avid anglers and water sport enthusiasts. The name, Umpqua, is a surviving term of the Native American Umpqua language, and translates to "thundering waters," "satisfied," or "across the waters."__ For awareness when making reservations: There are two Tyee Campgrounds in Oregon. This location is on the Umpqua River, and another is located near the Oregon Dunes.

    Recreation

    Fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the chance to catch chinook and coho salmon, steelhead, or bass depending on the season. A round of horseshoe on the grounds or a walk down to the river will appeal to those looking for a more casual day.

    Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

    Clean and good facilities, but no WiFi

    I stayed at Armitage for an overnight visit in the area and thought the location was quite nice: wooded with adequate facilities and plenty of space between sites. The RV park staff disappear a little before 5 pm and who knows when they come in the mornings. No wifi reception (at least where I was). Not bad overall.

    Forrest Preserve Area

    In 1946, Maria Clopton Jackson, a Portland philanthropist and widow of Oregon Journal publisher Charles Samuel“Sam” Jackson, helped an organization called Save the Myrtle Woods purchase forty-two acres of land on Brummit Creek in Sitkum for a park. In 1950, the property became the Maria C. Jackson State Park. For the dedication, Jackson was chauffeured in a black limousine over miles of winding gravel road. No longer maintained, the park survives as a Myrtlewood Grove of Interest.

    Tree covered

    Close to Cottage Grove, COE spot accepted the Passport for half priced camping. 

    The campground roads can be tight if you have a big rig so be careful. Because there is no power in the sites people were running generators for hours, even the tent campers.

    Large groups were utilizing the group areas when we stayed, lots of children having fun. 

    It would not be a destination place but okay for an overnight stay. 

    Alchol ban in the park but based on the trash bins it was not enforced.

    Great place

    This is our second time staying at Armitage. We usually only stay one night as we are passing through Eugene, but it's a fantastic campground and we would love to stay longer sometime. Site 30 was especially lovely. It is a full hook-up site surrounded by shrubs and trees. There is ample space between sites and we could not even see the site on our right. The pads are paved and pretty level, plenty long and wide for our 32ft 5th wheel and truck. Hopefully next time, we can stay longer and actually explore the park.

    Off the grid just enough

    We needed a place to set up for a quick sleep on our way down to Yosemite from Washington. I navigated using Google Maps due to other reviews saying Apple made it confusing. This led us right to the pond/camp sites. The road is a little rough with potholes but it’s not terrible if you just drive slow over the holes. There is a few split offs/2-way roads along this dirt road, the last one being a tree with a smiley face and an arrow leading you where to go. Didn’t get lost at all and it was already dark when we got there. No one was there, it was peaceful, clean and quiet. There is a pit toilet/bathroom with toilet paper. No trash cans so you’ll have to pack out your trash. I recommend this spot for anyone willing to drive 10-15 minutes off the freeway for some dispersed camping.

Our site backed right up to a little creek. The only downfall was the flys and bugs were killer - there were huge horseflies everywhere

    Skull Creek Campground

    Secluded and minimalist

    Easily accessed by 2 x 4 SUV, although there were a few large potholes, easy to maneuver around.

    Appeared to be 4 sites, each with a nice picnic table and fire pit. There was an onsite pit toilet and bear proof trash can. No running water and very little shade from the sun..but it is a free off the grid campground.

    I’m unsure if this qualifies as dispersed camping or more of a free campground provided by the BLM.

    Not the worst, not the best

    Pros - t-mobile had okay service. Plenty of space to back in. Beach is a short walk away. Trash and bathrooms available. Lots of people reserve spots to park their extra vehicles so you might not have any neighbors. You can break any and all rules because nobody is there to enforce them.

    Cons- no camp host onsite. Calling the numbers provided get you nowhere, including the sheriff’s dept. Most people don’t follow the 6ft leash rule for pets, I had lots of dogs run up and jump on me. Lots of people screaming after their dogs running off. Someone was in my spot and I had to wait over an hour past check in time for them to leave - I tried flagging down a ranger driving by and was ignored.

Brand new and still under construction. Lifeguards are on duty. Showers are gorgeous. Laundry room has 4 washers and dryers-coin operated. There is a little fitness gym with a treadmill, bike and weights. Access to the Umpqua river-bring your fishing pole.

    Exploring History and Nature: A Serene Retreat at Musick Guard Station, Ore

    My visit to Musick Guard Station in southwestern Oregon was a truly memorable experience. Nestled in the remote Umpqua National Forest, this historic site offers a fascinating glimpse into Oregon's mining past. Built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the guard station and its outbuildings stand as a testament to early fire protection efforts in the Bohemia Mining district. 

    Situated atop a forested ridge between Fairview Peak and Grouse Mountain, the location provides breathtaking views and ample opportunities for hiking. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the trails around the station, immersing myself in the serene beauty of the surrounding wilderness. What made my stay even more enjoyable was the ability to listen to music offline, thanks to Spotify MOD

    In such a remote area with limited internet access, having offline access to my favorite songs enhanced my hiking experience. It allowed me to relax and unwind amidst nature while enjoying my preferred music tracks. The Musick Guard Station itself offers a unique lodging experience, steeped in history and surrounded by tranquility. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it serves not only as a cozy retreat but also as a gateway to outdoor adventures. 

    Whether you're interested in history, hiking, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Musick Guard Station in the Umpqua National Forest is an ideal destination. I highly recommend visiting Musick Guard Station for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and history while enjoying modern comforts like offline music streaming with Spotify MOD. It's a place where past and present converge, offering a truly unforgettable retreat in Oregon's wilderness.
