Phoenix, Oregon provides multiple camping options within easy reach of I-5, with several established campgrounds situated in the surrounding Rogue Valley region. Holiday RV Park, located directly in Phoenix, offers 100 RV sites with full hookups and amenities like a swimming pool and picnic tables along a scenic creek. Just a short drive away, campers can access Southern Oregon RV Park in Central Point and Mr. Bigfoot RV Park with its 51 sites. The region includes developed sites for tent camping, RV facilities, cabins, and yurts at locations like Jackson Wellsprings in nearby Ashland and Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground in Gold Hill.

Most campgrounds in the Phoenix area remain open year-round, benefiting from the relatively mild climate of southern Oregon's valley floor. Several sites require reservations, particularly during summer months when outdoor activities peak. Holiday RV Park features pull-through sites that accommodate large vehicles, making it convenient for travelers along the I-5 corridor. Jackson Wellsprings, located just north of Ashland, combines camping options with access to mineral hot springs and offers a unique camping experience with tent areas in open meadows and some vehicle camping. A camper noted, "The hot springs are a fun and relaxing place and the prices for campground are very reasonable."

Many developed campgrounds near Phoenix provide amenities that enhance the camping experience, including electric hookups, showers, and drinking water. The natural setting along Bear Creek creates a peaceful environment despite proximity to highways. Several visitors mentioned water features as highlights of their stays. "There's a creek running along side the park and a nice grassy area for pets. The sites are pull thru, making it easy," wrote one Holiday RV Park visitor. For those seeking more nature-focused experiences, Mount Ashland Campground offers free primitive camping at higher elevations. Proximity to Ashland's cultural attractions, including the Shakespeare Festival, makes this area particularly appealing for campers looking to combine outdoor experiences with cultural activities.

    Farewell Bend Campground

    Rogue River gem

    Very close to crater lake, we really enjoyed this site! Has your basic amenities. Lots of trails nearby to explore, we went up and down the river in multiple areas! Great location to enjoy the area for a good few days

    Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

    State park

    The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because it's near the interstate and you can hear the vehicles going by at night. But other than that the place is kept well cleaned. They have shower facilities and restrooms and there's not a time limit on there to getting take a shower and use the restroom whenever you want

    Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

    Great campground

    Easy to access off of the 5 freeway. Many sites to choose from, including day use. Campground was clean. Sites are big enough for our 25 ft travel trailer and Ford F-150 extended bed 4 door. Bathroom were clean but showers are good but warm water lasts 3-4 minutes max. Sites were close to others with no privacy, but wide open spaces and amazing views. A little noisy due to proximity to the freeway.

    Waiiaka RV Park

    Good Enough For An Overnight

    FYI- this location does NOT offer any kind of discount, they are not a part of Good Sam nor do they give any discount for being a Dyrt Pro member, regardless of what the app says! We stayed here overnight while passing through town. We were lucky enough to get the last open spot, and it was small, thank goodness we only had our little pop-up camper! The park is decent, but nothing spectacular. The sites are small and very close together. It appears to be a lot of long term/full timers here. The park is close to the highway, so you hear a lot of road noise. The office is open 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, and they do sell little items you may need. There is a 24/7 laundromat with 2 small washers and dryers, both cost $2.00 a load (30 min wash & 60 min dry) Propane is available, we paid $3.69 a gallon. The bathrooms are fairly well kept, but they say they’re only open from 7:00 AM-10:00 PM, and they do charge for showers at 25 cents for 3 minutes. I had a terrible time with the women’s showers, it was about 7:30 PM, and not even 2 minutes into my shower and completely shampooed up, the water turned freezing cold and only a trickle of water coming out, I thought the time was up, so I added another quarter… I was wrong, that did nothing, so I toweled up and moved all of my stuff to the next shower stall and tried that shower… but, it was the same thing, only freezing water and a trickle. I called my husband and he walked me into the men’s bathroom and stayed with me so I could get rinsed off🤦‍♀️ oh, well, not the worst thing to ever happen… I will say, the woman working in the office the next morning was wonderful! We were able to stay a bit later than the 11:00 checkout… which was great since we had to run into town for some errands, and she even printed out some needed paperwork for us!

    Point RV Park at Emigrant Lake

    Quiet camping in Ashland.

    Paved level pads and quiet. Clean bathrooms and showers. In mid-October, the lake is a little more than a big puddle but still fishable if you desire. Short hop to Ashland and many wineries in the area.

    Little Falls Campground

    Tiny but cute

    This campground is a paid campground, 10.00 a night without National park access pass. There is only 4 spots here Two you have to park in. Overflow and walk to your site. One is a small back in, camper van, suV, truck. The other is a double site, good for small 10ft less RV. We have a 5x8ft CcT so we fit amazingly in the double site. It’s quiet and clean. So close to Grants Pass and to Cave Junction. There is also tent only campground across the river.

    Forest Road 25

    Pretty

    We stayed up the road from this spot but I wanted to leave a review so there is a spot here could fit a 25ft rv. I would definitely park my CCT & Jeep here. Beautiful view The road down past it would be amazing for Jeep/truck/suv tent camping. This area is so peaceful

    Lookout Gap

    It’s quiet and beautiful views

    It’s by itself and a perfect place to camp for a couple nights. It does have regular cell service & data. So quiet and much needed

Guide to Phoenix

Near Phoenix, Oregon, campsite options extend beyond just RV facilities to include unique camping environments at different elevations. The region enjoys relatively mild year-round temperatures with summer averages in the 80s F and winter lows rarely dipping below freezing. Southern Oregon's camping areas offer proximity to both mountain and valley experiences within a 20-minute drive radius.

What to do

Fishing at Emigrant Lake: The recreation area features a fishing spot with options for both shoreline and boat fishing. "There is a nice sized, fenced dog area as well. Full hookups at a good price," notes a visitor to Southern Oregon RV Park.

Hiking near Mount Ashland: The Pacific Crest Trail runs near the campground at higher elevations. "The PCT runs near here so it is a place for thru hikers to stay," explains a camper at Mount Ashland Campground.

Day trips to cultural centers: Ashland's theaters and festivals are accessible from most area campsites. "We stayed for 4 days while attending some Shakespeare plays in Ashland. Be aware the wind picks up in the afternoon but tends to die down after sundown," reports a visitor at Emigrant Lake Point Park.

What campers like

Mineral pools and soaking: Natural hot springs offer healing waters at certain locations. "An amazing peaceful place to be just outside of Ashland. On site showers and bathrooms. Developed hot pool for day use, with a discount of you are staying there overnight," shares a guest at Jackson Wellsprings.

Affordable camping with amenities: Many sites offer good value compared to urban accommodations. "The hot springs are a fun and relaxing place and the prices for campground are very reasonable. I liked how the campgrounds weren't in the middle of town and the surrounding area is quite pretty," comments another Jackson Wellsprings visitor.

River and creek access: Multiple sites feature waterfront placement with easy water access. "There's a creek running alongside the park and a nice grassy area for pets. The sites are pull thru, making it easy. Right off of I-5 so easy to find," notes a camper at Holiday RV Park.

What you should know

Varying water levels: Emigrant Lake's water level fluctuates seasonally affecting swimming and boat launches. "The lake was ALWAYS PACKED growing up between 1999-2010 and then the lake dried up almost completely. As of July 2022 it's about 50% full, which you are able to dock a boat and enjoy the lake at that point," shares a visitor to Emigrant Lake Recreation Area.

Freeway noise considerations: Some campgrounds have traffic noise due to proximity to I-5. "Recommend a spot away from the freeway, but the noise did not bother us too much. Hiking path behind the park that connects several towns."

Limited summer availability: Popular sites fill quickly during peak months. "We visited during the week in August and got the very last campsite available."

Tips for camping with families

Water play options: Several campgrounds offer water recreation beyond swimming. "A huge playground for the kids too! Beautiful place for a day trip for a picnic and to swim, lots of good places to BBQ all around the lake!"

Kid-friendly amenities: Playground equipment and recreation areas are available. "There are showers and on-site laundry. This place sometimes can be busy, so don't expect to have the place to yourself."

Nature learning opportunities: Wildlife viewing provides educational experiences. "Had deer running around while I was setting up the tent. Pit toilets, hiking close by, accessible in any vehicle," reports a visitor at Mount Ashland Campground.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Full-service sites often require advance booking. "Stayed for 1 night en route south on I-5. Easy to book. Nice little camp store. Clean showers and bath. Didn't use other amenities," notes a visitor to Medford-Gold Hill KOA.

Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain. "The whole campground is on a hill so the higher sites just look down on the lower sites. Most sites are visible from any other site. The sites were not very level and they were narrow."

Pull-through site limitations: Length restrictions may apply at certain locations. "Pull thru sites are short my 35 footer and car just fit. Multiple sites cars were sticking into the road making it a little close pulling out in the morning."
