    Overview

    Musick Guard Station is located in a remote setting in southwestern Oregon, offering visitors a glimpse into a historic mining community in Umpqua National Forest. Situated atop a narrow forested ridge between Fairview Peak and Grouse Mountain, the guard station and outbuildings were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 to provide fire protection to the Bohemia Mining district. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Musick Guard Station became an important public contact point and administrative center for the Forest Service. Later it was used as summer barracks for trail crews and firefighting crews. The Guard Station was named after the nearby Musick Mine, a major gold producing mine in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today the guard station continues to offer visitors a unique lodging experience and plenty of opportunities for relaxation and recreation. This site is located in National Forest System lands. These sites are popular with the recreating public so you may find visitors interested in the area and the facilities. While you do not have to let them inside the facility they are allowed to be in the area.

    Recreation

    For hiking and sightseeing, the nearby Bohemia Mountain Trail leads up a steep grade to the rocky summit of Bohemia Mountain, the highest point on the Cottage Grove Ranger District. Just east of the summit along a ridgeline hikers will be treated to dramatic views of the Cascade mountains and a wildflowers blooming along rocky outcrops and bluffs in late June through early August. For history buffs and fortune seekers, Musick Mine, one of the most productive gold mines in the district during the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, is a point of interest not to be overlooked. The area is named after James "Bohemia" Johnson, a mountaineer and prospector, who discovered gold-bearing quartz in 1863. The discovery created much short-lived excitement in the valley, but settlers soon realized the gold had to be extracted from the rock by machinery, not panned from the many streambeds, and by 1910 most of the ore had been removed. Some mining continues today.

    Typical State Campground

    Stayed in one of the cabins, it was clean and made a nice getaway for a couple days.

    Bathrooms are a long walk in the middle of the night so I should have chosen a cabin with a bathroom, my mistake. 

    Campground sites are tightly packed and lack privacy. If you like to take nice long walks there are hiking paths as well as the paved roads in the campground.

    Quiet Mid-September

    Beautiful early fall days at River Bend.

    Midweek, Sunday - Thursday the campground was maybe 25% filled. It was quiet! Leaves were beginning to turn colors, needles from pine tree were falling like rain.

    The Santiam river is low at this time and was great for wading into, swimming if like cold river.

    Kayaking the river - I dropped in at Cascadia - beautiful float back to River Bend - had to traverse quite a bit due to low water levels / avoiding the small waterfalls (5-10ft drops).

    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.

    So picturesque

    Stayed here one night. It got pretty chilly at night. I never found a camp host. be sure to bring firewood as there was none for sale in the campground. I had a site on the lower loop that backed up to the river. It was gorgeous! The McKenzie river is like something out of a Disney movie. Site 17 is very small wouldn’t be able to accommodate more than one tent. Other spots on the loop were a lot bigger so better for larger groups. That said my site did have a cute little area next to river perfect for setting up some chairs and having a beverage just watching the river. Vault toilets no running water just the old pioneer pump no phone service with Verizon

    Amazing group camp across the road from Fall Creek

    Wonderful group camp that can sleep all your friends and relatives!  Fun little bunk houses for the kids and a big covered area for cooking and hanging out.  Big field for tents, frisbee, drum circles, etc.  There is a great swimming hole right across the street and a good jumping platform just up the road at the next pullout.  The hike from the campground up to the butte is great too.

    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.

    Diamond Lake

    Large Campground on a beautiful lake

    This is a large Forest Service campground stretching along the shores of Diamond Lake. It is difficult to do a full review of this campground as we were there at the end of the season when it was cold, windy, and rainy. There was no staff on-site, and it was only the next morning that I saw an occupied host site way at the other end of the southern part of the campground. The north end of the campground had already closed for the season, and I believe the south end closes at the end of October. Reservations are only available June through Labor Day, but we pretty much had our pick of sites on a weekday in mid-October. 

    The road and camper pads are paved, and a good amount of foliage between sites provides privacy. 

    As far as activities, there is a paved bike path that winds through the campground. In season, there is boating (there is a boat ramp in each end of the campground), and there is a fishing dock too. 

    In each end of the campground, there is one “nice” bathhouse that is clean, heated, well-lit, and has showers. Depending on where your site is, it may be quite a walk to get to these bathrooms. Note that showers are free but there is a donation box. I wouldn't be surprised that at some point in the future, they will require payment. Sprinkled throughout the rest of the campground are very basic bathrooms with one sink, two stalls, cold water only, no soap. It had last been cleaned three days before we were there and there was no toilet paper in the men’s bathroom closest to our site.

    There is also a dump station with a donation box.

    Rates are reasonable, especially if you have the senior Golden Access Pass, however, there was a note that each transaction also incurred a $3 transaction fee. Didn’t know if that was if you reserved online, used a credit card, or no matter. We included it in the envelope for a total of $14.

    One of our favorites

    This is a highly recommended campground. Great spots right on the lake and it's a huge campground with tons of spots in general. Cellphone service is hit or miss depending on where you are. We found a level spot, not all spots are level. They have trash and a dump/water station.

    Showers are available via a donation..campsite rates are very reasonable for amenities and location.

    10 miles from Crater Lake, 1 mile from the lodge with a little store and restaurant. Restaurant was pretty darn good for the middle of nowhere. 100 years old.

    Amazing - but close to wildfire

    We went to the campground to check in to our beautiful site on the river but the smell of smoke was so overpowering. We drove to service and realized the wildfire was very close and we would be just outside the evacuation area. We played it safe and cancelled. So sad we couldn’t stay, it was such a clean and beautiful campground!

    Diamond Lake

    Not too bad

    Stayed at diamond lake for 3 days. The specific site didn’t have any reviews or pics, but took a chance on it. Our site didn’t have any shade so it was a little rough. And it was a little dirty throughly the entire campground. You could tell it’s highly used, sad that people don’t take a little more pride and leave it a little cleaner then they found it.

    We have Verizon and had 1-2 bars LTE. Couldn’t make or receive calls and really couldn’t text or email.

    The bathrooms were fairly clean given you are in the middle of nowhere. They showers were available, but we didn’t use them.

    The camp hosts were awesome! They gave our free firewood and had free WiFi you could use.

    Diamond Lake

    Badly Degraded Campground

    I camped at diamond lake for the first time in about 15 years and can’t believe how rundown it has become. Most toilets in bathroom are broken. Our nearby water spigot not functioning. And lots of litter in camp site. Beautiful lake though.

    Excellent staffing and great setting

    We were so lucky to get a last minute spot. The bearded man with a that checked us was full of helpful information. We wanted to stay an extra night, but the camp ground was full. Amy at the front station was such a blessing to help us get another night. She went above and beyond in service. We live in Ca and very rarely see this kind of service. I was told by a friend, you will love the Oregon parks. He was so right.

    Diamond Lake

    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 scenery, spacious sites.

    The scenery is stunning and the sites are large and roomy. The water access doesn’t have much of a beach to speak of, but it is a great lake to paddle.

    Cultus Lake Campground

    Great Lake, great camping.

    Spent two nights here celebrating a friends birthday party. The weather was a little too cold/windy to enjoy the lake, but the campground is clean and well kept. Fellow campers were respectful and friendly. Cultus is always a great experience.

    Horrible managemet

    They say there's long term permanent spots. Yet they will move you from spot to spot tell you one thing then it be another. Don't trust them with your background regardless of what it is, it will be left out and your privacy will be violated and everyone in their park will know. Personally happened to me. And if you have a problem or an issue with something the management will ignore your phone calls purposely to not have to deal with whatever it is your calling about. I know this for I personally have watched it done by management. The management will yell at each other in front of customers of the park. And they are hardly ever in the office to be there if their needed. There showers and bathrooms are hardly clean with multiple people complaining about them they keep the bathrooms even during winter at 68°. There's black mold in the showers. The owners wouldn't allow the bathrooms to be fixed properly just painted. They are running to many washers and dryers in there bathroom the wiring ain't right and it keeps blowing fuse, the driers breaking down or the washers don't cycle through all the way and don't wash your clothes or they flood. Not only that but you won't get your mail there they love sending it back. No matter what it is if you end up having a problem with management. We had checks sent back, legal mail. Do Not Trust Shelly Allen the management

    Beautiful and Busy

    This campground has been a daughter in law's family tradition for years.  We joined them this year with our travel trailer because we were lucky enough to get a spot that had had a cancellation.  

    Site 15 backed up to the lake.  Fit our trailer, just.  (25 ft plus hitch and 20 ft truck).  Great site!  Electric hook up.  Fairly level.  Next to a lakeside trail.  They have communal water available around the loop and a sanitary dump on the road out.  Many people spend the summer there so some of the sites looked like "encampments".

    Some sites are quite close together, some have more privacy.  Lots of trees and areas to "get out and about" , though.  

    The lake is lovely.  It stays calmer at this end of the lake for paddling (hence the name "Shelter Cove"). A train goes by a few times through the day, but it's actually kinda cool.  Don't remember any at night.

    Really a beautiful place to vacation, so it's very popular!
