1 campground with availability next weekend
Jackson Wellsprings in Ashland houses upscale yurts and glamping structures with thoughtful amenities approximately 12 miles from Phoenix, Oregon. Tent sites give way to elevated accommodations including domes and glamping cabins with electricity, comfortable beds, and access to drinking water. The hot mineral pools create a centerpiece experience for glamping guests. One visitor noted, "There are small cabins and yurt structures for rent too. On site showers and bathrooms. Developed hot pool for day use, with a discount if you are staying overnight." The 777 Guest Ranch in nearby southwestern Oregon offers glamping yurts with sustainable design elements and rustic luxury touches. Both locations provide picnic tables, on-site showers, and toilets with varying levels of privacy. Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground and Medford-Gold Hill KOA complete the area's eco-friendly glamping options with cabin-style accommodations.
Mineral soaking pools distinguish Jackson Wellsprings as a destination for wellness-focused glamping. The property features walking trails through gardens, a sauna, and steam room access for overnight guests. According to a camper, "The amenities and additional opportunities make up for it. There are free showers, a bathroom with running water, potable water, and for $10 extra you get 1.5 hours soaking in a mineral pool, one hot one cold, and there's also a sauna." Several glamping sites offer seasonal experiences with Howard Prairie Lake Resort operating from April through October and Joseph H. Stewart County Park available March through October. On Sacred Grounds Relaxation Retreat provides a more intimate setting with just three glamping sites featuring 30-amp electrical hookups and water connections. Most locations require reservations, especially during summer months when Ashland's cultural attractions draw visitors to the region.
"I’m camping here in my car basically in a gravel parking lot next to a meadow for tent campers. There’s very little privacy however! The amenities and addition opportunities make up for it."

TravelerIt's a beautiful camp, but there is a conflict between their (gov run) website information and in park board. Some sights are first come first serve, but some can be reserved online, but aren't marked, so there can be a reservation for a first come first serve spot. I've been there three times, the last wasn't bad, but twice the above issues caused inconvenience to my camp. Still a beautiful place, though
LegendPark is a little funky, old, and a bit rundown., But our space was right on the lake and we had a beautiful view of all kinds of birds. Scott, the park manager was super nice and accommodating. Showers and bathrooms were pretty dirty and you had to pay to take a shower. There is a little store on site where you can purchase minimal food and drinks. Also a restaurant that we did not go to, as it was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is when we were there. Sites were a bit funky to get into and our site was having a little issue with the electric. Also not very level. I give it a four stars because of the view and quietness.
GuideMy dog and I were traveling between Crater Lake and the coast to start a PCH trip. This park was the perfect midway point and we stopped by without reservations bc they only take them online three days in advance. I’m pleased with the amenities: very clean flush toilets and showers! Great atmosphere and helpful camp host. Recommend!
TravelerI live not too far away but have never stayed here before. After purchasing an RV nearby, I stopped for 2 days to test the systems out and was quite amazed how nice the place is. Nicely manicured lawns, the river nearby and very quiet. At least until garbage pickup happens at 1 AM and leaf blowers going by 9 AM.
I rarely stay at RV parks, I boondock 90% of the time so for me, I didn't like it all that much. I mean no sewer connections which makes sense but paying $50/night for a few days then have to pay $10 to dump and even worse, a friend stopped by to see my purchase and had to pay $10 just to come in? Seems a bit much to me.
TravelerI've stayed here for a few weeks at a time. The crew were very professional and accommodating. The area is beautiful! There is a pond that you can fish in without a license. Catch and release only. Tree covered sites and a pool. We have enjoyed both our stays here and will come back again!
GuideWe pulled in on a Sunday night to find only one other camper. It filled in with three more by sundown, but it was absolutely peaceful. It’s late July and 94 degrees, but a breeze was blowing and made things comfortable. By midnight I needed a blanket.
Pit toilets, multiple water faucets, trash and recycling bins, campground clean! Spacious, paved sites with picnic tables.
Steep entry road in, but no problem in a van.
Beautiful Klamath River is rushing by the campground. We would definitely return here again.
ScoutNice campground... Trees large sites and wildlife. The staff is amazing, swimming pool, lake , laundry, small store and showers. We choose that park everytime we go to Medford and surrounding communities!
Traveler(1) showers and bathrooms in loops D & E are NOT ADA accessible. Dyrt asked me if the campground was accessible and I said yes too quickly- apologies to anyone relying on that info. (2) noise from I-5 is really really loud in a tent and you can see headlights from the road - we were in D32. Maybe better if you get a site farther south away from the highway. Most of the campground has RVs so noise is likely less bad in RV. (3) campground clean, manicured and quiet. Sites decently spaced but fairly open so not much privacy. (4) tent campers beware all sites (except for yurt and group camps) are RV standard with hookups so more expensive. (5) nice walk to rogue river
ScoutEven when full, plenty of space. Riverfront or short walk too. Polite camp hosts. i’d stay again and longer.
Phoenix, Oregon sits in the Rogue Valley at 1,600 feet elevation. The region experiences warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters with mountain terrain surrounding the valley floor. Natural mineral springs in the area have created unique camping opportunities with thermal pools adjacent to traditional camping areas.
Fishing at Lost Creek Lake: Joseph H. Stewart County Park offers access to Lost Creek Lake where visitors can enjoy fishing opportunities. "We found an area over before the dam that was calm and good bass fishing," notes one camper. The park is open seasonally from March through October.
Hot spring soaking: At Jackson Wellsprings, the natural mineral water creates a unique experience. "Pool, sauna. Crowded," shares a reviewer succinctly. The property features both hot and cold soaking pools with a sulphur odor typical of natural springs.
Lake exploration: Even when water levels are low at Howard Prairie Lake Resort, there are interesting activities. "This lake is empty now (2021) and it's a nice surprise to cross the barren lake bottom to see many different terrains. Would be a nice discovery trip for kids finding lake bottom treasures," notes one visitor.
Proximity to outdoor attractions: The location provides easy access to multiple natural areas. "We chose this campground because it's near Crater Lake and other nice lakes. Diamond lake is close along with the rogue river runs a long ways with nice view points and small hikes," explains a camper at Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground.
Shade coverage: Medford Oaks RV Resort offers relief from summer heat. "The park is covered in oaks so there is lots of shade," notes one camper. This makes the area comfortable even during hot summer days typical of southern Oregon.
Trail connectivity: Joseph H. Stewart County Park features well-maintained pathways. "There are paved trails for hiking and biking all over the area. From the campground the access to the lake is small trek on one of the paved trails which was a nice bike ride," explains a visitor.
Seasonal water levels: Lakes in the region fluctuate significantly based on irrigation demands and rainfall. "Has always been one of my favorite mountain lakes, but if you're looking for recreational fun, pass. Howard Prairie is ran by Jackson county parks and rec but managed by the feds. They drain the lake for irrigation of lower fields and lakes," cautions one reviewer.
Highway noise: Some campgrounds are conveniently located near Interstate 5 but come with traffic sounds. "This campground is right off the highway. Super convenient. Very clean park facility. Fairly close sites but pretty quiet," explains a camper at Medford-Gold Hill KOA.
Clothing-optional areas: Several hot springs properties have designated times when nudity is permitted. "The 'spring' is a pool and a jacuzzi type set up. It's ok but I prefer the hot springs that are a bit more natural. Also, after 6pm clothing is optional," explains a visitor at Jackson Wellsprings.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer play areas for children. "This large campground has one of our favorite dog parks. It's nicely mowed, thick grass, beautiful surroundings, and huge. You can also rent a boat or kayak and spend the day on the lake," reports a camper at Joseph H. Stewart County Park.
Pool facilities: On hot summer days, cooling off is important. "This is a great place to stay that has all you could need! Cell reception, WiFi, pool, hot tub, Ashland is like 5 minutes away, restrooms, even a sauna!" notes a reviewer at Jackson Wellsprings.
Ice cream treats: Kids enjoy the simple pleasures at Howard Prairie Lake. "Ice Cream and beautiful lake for swimming and kayaking. We took the family here for Fathers Day and enjoyed the entire weekend. We kayaked, rode bikes and got ice cream on our way out," shares a happy camper.
Site selection: At On Sacred Grounds Relaxation Retreat, limited spaces mean early reservations are essential. "Everything was great, RV electrical was perfect (30 and 50 amp available), and loved the scenery and teepee," notes a visitor to this small three-site glamping property.
Pull-through limitations: Some sites advertised as pull-through may not accommodate larger vehicles. "Some pull through sites were not true pull through for bigger rigs so we had to back in to our sites," warns a camper at Medford Oaks RV Resort.
Hookup inspection: Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground provides RV amenities but requires checking. "The power stations are breaking down, the maintenance staff has trouble fixing things because they have no parts, so it's sort of make do," reports one visitor, suggesting that travelers should verify all connections upon arrival.
