  Rujada Campground

  Excellent Vintage Camp

  I had a great experience here The campground was clean, the leave no trace policy is followed here. Quiet hours are 10pm - 6am, it was quiet even during the non-quit hours. Very private. There are running water spigots strategically placed throughout the camp, each water station has a waste water dump, and trash can. There are flush toilets with running, a sink and trash can. The garbage was picked up daily. Each site was a tent pad, fire pit and large table. Each site was very private, I couldn't see the other campers unless they were passing by our site. There is no internet, no electricity, and no showers, bring your own. The only negative was the mosquitos - easily resolved with a netted day tent or pop-up with mesh. Laying Creek sounds heavenly all throughout the camp, the trails are great to walk, and you will eventually wander to a swimming hole. Beautiful campground, with a great history going back to 1933. Highly recommend!

  Marys Peak

  Very basic and secluded.

  This is one of the most primitive campgrounds I've seen. There were a few old picking tables, fire rings, and one vault toilet. We were the only ones there during the peak of camping season. There were lovely flowers and raspberries growing nearby. A few dead branches feel during the night, which was a little underling.

  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.

  Mineral Forest Camp

  Accessible, but remote.

  The three campsites are under the cover of fir, cedar and maple trees. All are decently sized and spaced, just off the road enough to feel private, as claim miners and passers by stop to use the vaulted toiled that is located across the road from the campsite parking. 

  Provided you have a decent, four-wheel-drive rig, or are willing to make the hike, the bohemia mines, as well as several mine shafts carved out along the roadway are accessible to view.

  The first site is smaller (1-2 tents) and the most private. It has a well placed fire ring with grill, and wood picnic table, but lacks a direct path to the creek. 

  The middle spot is the largest (3+ tents), fire ring with grill, picnic table and great access to the creek.

  The third spot is also well sized and has the same table/fire ring setup, and a couple trails that lead to the creek.

  The area is in recovery from the 2024 fire that consumer over 1200 acres. Though that fire was started by natural causes, it is a strong reminder to pay attention to fire bans and area regulations as well as properly, tending campfires, and making sure they are extinguished.

  Hult Pond

  Secluded Pond Great for a Quick stay

  Great spot for a quick stay. There are only a few flat spots for RVs but quite a few decent spots for tent camping next to the pond. The west side of the pond has at least 2 spots that are a good distance away from the others. At the moment, no fires or barbecues allowed but propane stoves and lanterns are fine. Look for Bandits blue squeaky disk! We lost it and never found it.

  Yukwah Campground

  ADA access camping sites and great day use area

  Yukwah campground is found along hwy 22 East of Salem along the Willamette National Forest in Linn County. Most of the sites along this stretch are first come, first serve walk up sites - but you can reserve by connecting with Linn County Parks and Rec (see photo for info) for $18/night plus $5 additional vehicle fee and reservation fee. This campground has ada access camp sites and tent sites. Most of the RV sites along the Willamette National Forest can be used for tent camping. The day use area at this site is great for swimming, fishing, and possibly a small hike. I advise camping near the day use area (#3) if you have a large family or kids for larger sites and easy access. Yukwah is near wagon wheel bridge with access to trails for those wanting to hike while camping. Vault toilets are available (bring soap) - there are no showers or additional amenities. There is access to potable water at this location.

  Paradise In Oregon

  Great spot

  I had read online that this camp ground had a really bad bug problem but I hardly saw any. Especially for being next to the river. My campsite (48) had a short path down to the river. Current is strong but could easily soak feet.

  My biggest complaint was that the picnic table was really close to the bench. A bigger person like myself can’t sit there. But I just pulled a camp chair up to the edge.

  Restroom was clean, even though I could see one of my camping neighbors there was plenty of space.

  Camp is very dusty.

  Baker Bay Campgrounds & Marina - a Lane County Park

  On the Lake

  Dry Camping
  Upside - Right on the lake and lots of spots with shade which would be good for summer heat. 
  Downside - no alcohol permitted (loosely enforced it seems).  And the restrooms and dump station are being rebuilt as of May 2024 and it will likely take a year or more. There are porta-potties. You are allowed to dump at the facility up the road for no cost.

  Archie Knowles Campground

  Perfect last minute campsite

  Wayside campground just outside of Mapleton, OR. We stayed here when we made a last minute trip to Florence, OR and all other campgrounds were full. This is a Primitive campground with no hookups. There is a small restroom in the park, but no showers.

  There is no playground, but its located a long a small creek that my kids loved playing in with their sand buckets.

  Overall a nice place, when you need a place to stay near the coast.
