    Wild Mare Horse Campground

    Used to be a great place to go for horse camping. Car campers have ruined

    This is a horse camp, for people who have horses, NOT a car camp. It’s not fair that car campers are taking reservation spots away from horse campers. We can not just take our horses into car camps. The camp is left dirty with litter, there were gun shots Friday & Saturday night, an ATV drove through camp 50 mph at midnight. These people have no respect or etiquette for horses or children. All day & night ATV people were driving through looking for a place to stay. If you don’t have horses Stay out!!! Go camp on a dead end road.

    Wild Mare Horse Campground

    Cul-de-sac of Equestrian Charm

    This a more peaceful spot, without immediate engine noise but with plenty of room for human and horse at each site.  It's a nice size to get to know a few neighbors - but not too many.  I didn't have a horse to hop on, but I did notice a great mix of scenery to explore.

    Near Fawn Creek Campground (BLM)

    A Peaceful Escape Near Fawn Creek Campground

    My visit near Fawn Creek Campground in Oregon was a refreshing experience, surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills. The campground offers a quiet retreat with well-maintained facilities, making it a great spot for nature lovers. With temperatures ranging from 30°F in winter to 80°F in summer, it’s a beautiful destination year-round. Nearby attractions like Siuslaw National Forest and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area provide plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploration. For families with kids, keeping them entertained is easy whether it’s exploring the outdoors or enjoying Toca Boca games, a fun and creative way for kids to play and imagine. Overall, this area is a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, making it a great choice for a weekend getaway!

    Douglas County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Road noise

    The campground is right off a highly traveled hwy without and natural barrier to prevent road noise. The sites are pretty close to one another. Still a good place for the night.

    Douglas County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Quiet place to base out of

    Being here in the summer means dead grass and heat. We used it as a base so didn't spend much time there. I've been thru in the winter and it's much prettier. Host is very nice and showers and bathrooms are clean. Highway noise, otherwise quiet. Convenient for exploring the area and visiting friends.

    Douglas County Fairgrounds RV Park

    Used to be a good park but it's gone down hill.

    My family and I have been camping periodically the fairgrounds for a couple of years now.

    The grounds used to be well maintained, dump station was free to registered guests, WiFi was decent enough for steaming shows, you were allowed 1 tow vehicle before they started charging, shower access from 8am to 8pm every day and if you needed to make a middle of the night trash run for whatever reason you could.

    Now, you have to pay for the dump station no matter what, shower access is limited to if you can get the host to come and unlock them long enough for you to shower (which we have yet to be able to do the last couple times weve been to the park), you have to pay for ALL vehicles and if you have a 5th wheel or any other tow RV you have to keep the tow vehicle WITH the RV the entire stay (and yes you are now charged for the tow vehicle even with a towed RV), the wifi has massive amount of restrictions on it now to the point its basically useless even if you manage to connect to it, most designated fire pits are fire hazards with the amount of growth in them, and recently they have been shutting off the water without notice during high heat days to the point the sheriff's had to come out and talk to the host. Oh, and if you want to file a complaint to the managers in the office for the fairgrounds, it will only cause you issues because they ARE the hosts.

    This decline only started when the office managers took over being the hosts. I have no idea why they did since the host before them was an amazing host (and is currently at another campground after they fired her) but they seriously need someone to take over hosting that will actually do the job.
