Umpqua National Forest, Oregon3 Reviews•16 SavesThis campground offers excellent scenery. Although Steamboat Creek is closed to all fishing, summer visitors often see large steelhead trout attempting to jump the falls during their spawning runs. The campground is on the other side of Steamboat Creek from Steamboat Road. Towering fir trees shade the campsites, making it feel as if you are further away from the North Umpqua Highway. The trailhead for the 5.5-mile Mott segment of the North Umpqua Trail is about 6 miles southwest of the campground.

9. Umpqua National Forest Steamboat Ball Field and Pavillion Group Site
Idleyld Park, Oregon1 Review•5 Photos•2 SavesOverview
Steamboat Ball Field Group Site sits near the banks of the North Umpqua River under a canopy of forest. With access to a multitude of recreational opportunities, including a ball field, river access and a handful of trailheads within the area, this campsite offers an ideal setting for group camping and recreation excursions.
Recreation
Fishing, hiking and swimming top the list of activities at this site. With wide open spaces, along with a ball field and horseshoe pits, this campground offers visitors plenty of recreational opportunities. A forested bank and mountainous backdrop to the North Umpqua River is a perfect setting for both swimmers braving its cold, refreshing waters, and for anglers fishing for rainbow, steelhead and cutthroat trout. A picnic shelter and large grill provide the perfect setting for gathering after a day of activity or relaxation.
Natural Features
Visitors to Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. Explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the nearly 1 million-acre forest, and provide spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. Flowing adjacent to this campground is the North Umpqua River, a tributary of the Umpqua River, and a designated National Wild and Scenic River. Possessing remarkable values related to fisheries, culture, recreation and scenery, the North Umpqua River is renowned for its emerald green waters and fly fishing. Several designated wilderness areas provide undisturbed solitude for visitors. Encompassing 19,100 acres, Boulder Creek Wilderness offers dense old-growth forests and steep terrain that tower above Boulder Creek, which runs through the heart of the wilderness. Diverse ecosystems support a wide range of habitat for wildlife common to the area. From eagles and owls, to salamanders and salmon, these species, along with many others, depend on surrounding undeveloped wilderness, clean streams, and diverse forests to live.
Nearby Attractions
Hikers will enjoy the 79-mile North Umpqua Trail which begins in the Mount Thielsen Wilderness at Maidu Lake and follows the river to the confluence with Rock Creek. Sections of this trail are also open to mountain bikes and stock. There are opportunities for fishing within 1 mile of the campground, and within 10 miles a non-motorized boat ramp, and places for swimming and berry picking.

Stayed here last night in free space next to Regular RV park but right on the Water and even had a picnic table with grassy area. Away from the traffic very quiet. And a short walk over to Casino.

Nice regional park with good sized sites
We rolled into this park in a torrential rainstorm just at dark. Thankfully, site 10 was perfectly level, and hookups all worked great. Clean bathrooms and gorgeous setting, even in the the rain

George L.TravelerArmitage 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.

Safe and Quiet
I spent one night here on a trip to southern Oregon and it was a very quiet and safe place to stay. The pit toilets were clean, the water spigots were easily accessible, and the site had an excellent pad for my tent. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

Abandoned? Looks closed.
Visited Oct 1st, 2024 and park was closed. You can see in pic you have to call / pre-pay at parks office in Coquille rather than any kind of local pay.

Looks Abandoned
Visited Oct 1st, 2024 and park looks abandoned and overgrown more than just this summer. You can see in the pic the entrance (road guard) is overgrown like it's been shut a long time.

Amazing Private Retreat
This campground is such a hidden gem. Just outside of Oakridge it feels like you are back country but you are 15 minutes from anything you would need if you forgot it. The elk walking through blew my mind and the views even more so.

Umpqua Lighthouse State Park Campground
Beautiful cozy and quiet
We loved this campground. Hiking and fishing at lake 50 yards away, near the light house, Off Highway vehicle park, beaches, super clean, warm showers, and good size spaces.

Boulder Flat Campground
Between river and highway
All sites by river. Small but spacious. Deep forest feel. Minimal highway noise. Got a site mid afternoon on a Saturday in mid September. Sites were pretty level.

COE Dorena Reservoir Schwarz Campground
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.

Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park
Very nice setting with roomy campsites
I’ve been here before. This park has about 37 sites with folks not on top of one another. Clean toilets and baths. $40 per night. Need to make reservations. Fills up fast. Cell service for Verizon, At&T and T-mobile are marginal. Phone calls are fine, internet varies from good speed to barely working.

Nice camp spot near Dorena Lake
Great location and beautiful view. Great for families. Not the most quiet spot but the view makes up for it. Restrooms were under construction but they provided single vault toilets.
Sam S.Guide
Tahkenitch Campground
Quiet spot near the Oregon dunes
The campsite feels secluded for a car campground. The sites for the tent are a little walk behind the picnic bench. The site was quiet and surrounded by trees. It was full but didn’t feel like too many people. The hike to the dune was fun.

Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park
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.

Great place to bring your family.
Bathrooms were close, also water between every two camp sites. Showers were pretty nice. The lake is absolutely amazing! Really was worth money. It also wasn’t to expensive at all.

Peaceful
There's a box for registration and payment on the road in. Lots of trees to park under/near. Some picnic tables & some fire pits. The river runs beside the park. Occasionally a train runs nearby but otherwise very quiet. Grocery store with water refill station, bottle/can redemption close by. There's also a Laundromat just up the road with good machines.

Beautiful, secluded, lots and lots of bugs!
My husband and I were looking for a place to camp close to the coast during 4th of July weekend when every other campground was full. It was a nice drive, saw maybe 2 other cars the whole night. Our site backed right up to a little creek. The only downfall was the flys and bugs were killer - there were huge horseflies everywhere

Casey's Riverside RV resort
Wow!
Really awesome facility. Every site is big-rig friendly and almost perfectly level. Minimum work getting setup. The river is just feet away. Dog friendly. We especially liked the trains that occasionally tooted and roared down the opposite side on the river canyon.

Great Swimming
Enjoyed spending a hot day playing in the river and cooling off. Very quiet campground with pretty large sites. Our site overlooked the river.

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.

Boxcar Hill Campground
terrible camp hosts
it was supposed to be a vacation but could have been better after driving 9 hours to be received by the rudest camp hosts and then harrassed daily with mass texts of threats of being charged for extra car parking, too many cars parked, no parking by the bathroom, be sure to put the garbage in the right bin, check out time, don't share your gate code, gate code expiring so be out on time and it went on and on. They will not work with you to move your site close to your group or try to keep you together, they just don't care, it is worse than self checkout at grocery store, they want to do no work and will just monitor their prescious gate to ensure that everyone uses it and it closes in between trailers, will never return and you shoudl find somewhere else to spend your time.

Wonderful campground with store, coffee shop, laundry, arcade, rec room and best of all is their pizza and pub. Probably the best pizza we have ever eaten.
