ScoutWell we did not know that when tent camping you can only stay two weeks we were originally told we could stay as long as we wanted as long as we moved and did not stay in a spot more than 7 days. Not a bad campground just don't like the two week stay rule. Plus my cat loves it. There is a natural that can be walked, a dog park, swimming pool, also a place to throw disc golf disc's.
RangerSmall, convenient campground near Eugene. Large dog park adjacent, which is very convenient when traveling with your four legged friends.
TravelerThis is one of my favorite campgrounds that we’ve come across in OR, it’s very charming & quaint. Perfect place for dog owners as they have the best dog park; it’s actually the community dog park, so they’re always dogs/people there. The sites here are spaced enough so you don’t feel like you’re in a traditional RV park. The hosts are nice, grounds are clean and there’s great opportunities for walking & fishing.
GuideLoved this park! The campsites were nicely situated so you weren’t right on top of each other and the park was great. There is an off leash dog park and access to the river. The laundry and showers were closed due to COVID but the public restrooms were still open and were just fine. Would definitely stay here again
LegendIt's $33 a night, but hey, at least you get a lot of somethings for it. These are 32 reservable sites, pretty well spread out with - bonus - vegetation between some campsites. Overall it kind of has a little bit of a sanitized, urban feel with what's on the outskirts of the campground, but it's fairly open and roomy, there's a boat ramp to the large McKenzie River, an active park host in an active go-cart, a volleyball court, lots of room to walk and walk dogs (includes a 2-acre dog park), horseshoe pits and, because it's just a few miles north of Eugene I suspect, wi-fi (that could be a good or bad thing). Drinking water, flush toilets? But of course. You won't be blown-away, but you won't be disappointed. A clean, well-organized camping area, a step up from KOAs for those true campers out there (and you know who you are...).
ScoutAdvertised as a pet friendly glamping space. Brought my dog and upon arrival was told dogs are not allowed inside tent. On the website it states dogs must be on leash and not left alone outside. How is anyone able to sleep inside a tent while not having your pet alone outside not being allowed inside tent? Apparently my campsite is recorded audio and video by the hosts and we were unnecessarily aggressively confronted. The creek we camped next to was polluted with pet feces, nitrous cartridges and used cigarette filters. Overall we left and felt scammed. They charged us $25 for wood we never burned
RangerI've stayed here a number of times and each time it's a pleasure. Nice big sites, super clean park and facilities and nice staff. I personally stay in all sorts of locations, but usually stop here for a couple of nights to take advantage of the great stores in Eugene to stock up before heading off for more primitive camping. This park is pet friendly with 2 reasonable dog yards and there doesn't seem to be a quantity or breed problem (I'm parked next to a rig with 2 pitbulls, a small mixed breed and 2 cats). Everyone I've encountered in here is super respectful. They also have a small inexpensive laundry. While walking around with my 4 dogs, I noticed they have Tepees for rent also. I always feel safe and comfortable when I stay here. The only downside is that it's right off I-5 so lots of freeway noise.
ScoutMore of a motor home campground, although there were some tents. Nice dog park at entrance.
Pretty quiet.
GuideSpent a month in an RV space at this KOA. My first experience at a KOA couldn’t have gone better. Staff was friendly, facilities were clean, and fellow RVers were quiet and respectful. We stayed here with a dog and were really happy with amenities such as the dog park and small trail behind campground. Really phenomenal and kind workers as well. Would stay again. We stayed during the wet season, and it was not very busy here. We did have some issues with moisture in RV, would definitely recommend having a dehumidifier. Showers and bathrooms cleaned daily and were very clean always. There is also a nice laundry facility (coin operated) and sink for washing dishes. Two bathrooms and a dog park. Electric hookups, black water dump, and water hookup at site.
Philomath camping offers diverse options from high-altitude forest settings to riverside spots. Located at the western edge of the Willamette Valley where elevations rise from 300 feet to over 4,000 feet at nearby Mary's Peak, the region's camping season typically runs from May through October. Winter camping isn't advised at higher elevations due to snow and road closures.
Mountain biking trails: The area around Alsea Falls Recreation Site has become known for its trail system. "There are lovely hiking trails and a waterfall close by," notes Christie U., who stayed at the campground in 2022.
Waterfall hiking: Both Alsea Falls and Green Peak Falls are accessible from nearby campgrounds. "The main falls is only about a 1/2 mile from the campground, but if you venture further; about 2 moderate miles, you find 'Green Peak falls' which for my money is a way better experience," writes a visitor.
River access: Many campsites offer access to local waterways. At Hult Pond Recreation Area, campers can enjoy lakefront access. "We had a lakefront site which was private and spacious. There was easy access to the lake, which is full of jumping fish," reports Henrik.
Forest seclusion: Marys Peak Campground offers a true forest camping experience. "It is easy to get to, just a windy road. The winter does close this early, depending on the amount of snow that falls. Has nice size sites and fire pits," explains Sonja O.
Proximity to coastal attractions: Many campers appreciate the relatively short drive to Newport beaches. James P. from Alsea Falls Recreation Site notes, "Lazy shallow rivers and beautiful waterfalls were just a few of the highlights."
Diverse wildlife: The area's creeks, ponds and forested areas support abundant wildlife. "The area is beautiful, lots of privacy and the fishing was pretty decent caught three largemouth bass," shares Brandon A. about his experience at Hult Pond.
Limited services: Many campgrounds in the Philomath area are primitive. Meredith L. observed at Alsea Falls Recreation Site, "There is no water anywhere nearby. Also encountered a massive amount of horse flies and normal black flies, which swarmed me every time I tried to cook."
Seasonal closures: Higher elevation sites like Marys Peak close during winter months. The campground season typically runs "May 14 to September 30" according to official information.
Fire restrictions: Always check current fire regulations before your trip as they vary seasonally and by location. Todd R. noted about Marys Peak, "There are only six spots, fairly spread out. Beautiful surroundings."
Seek campgrounds with activities: South Beach State Park near Newport offers family-friendly amenities. "They have wifi if you need it, and plenty of games to keep anyone entertained, if camping isn't already enough," shares Sonja O.
