ScoutNeeded one night. They had space. Good location near i5. 50% full timers. Grounds are rustic. Fun play stuff for kids. Stayed in space 7, long enough for my 34’ rig. Sites 50-52 looked good and away from crowded main loop.
TravelerThere are no hookups - no electricity, no water , no dump station at sites. There appears to be a water pipe? I’m not sure… but no faucet near the site. Beautiful surroundings, we even saw several mule deer.
ScoutNot busy at all. We stayed up on the paved section with our RV. Very quiet and 20 minutes from Crater Lake. Also free!
ScoutWe just stopped for one night on our way south. We were the only ones there so super peaceful and quiet. It’s not a traditional RV campground in that you don’t really have individual spaces. There are 4 pit toilets and a dump station along with fire pits and picnic tables. It was May 11th and there was still some snow in the area and the pay box was covered up so with no way to pay, the price was right too.
ScoutIf you are looking just for a quick site to get in and out of, this is it.
It's a gravel road, pull off into the woods in a level site.
TravelerGreat spot super close to the park There are bathrooms, but full of wasps. Bathrooms nearby up the road. WiFi! Only one other car around. Super buggy bring bug spray, or have a fire going
GuideWe've been stopping for a quick overnighter going from points a to b. The park has a lot of nice features, including the river and hiking trails, it also has a kids program, campfire nights and the camp hosts are very helpful. Downside is their infrastructure. 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. Bull head thorns are sprouting everywhere, we have to be really vigilant when walking our dogs.
Water is good. T mobil and att work really well. There is also a separate dump station that is clean and well kept. The trash guy actually empties the dog waste bins as well as the normal waste bins.
Unless you sleep on a cot by yourself, avoid site b2.
ScoutQuite a few generally easily dodge-able potholes. Camp sites are very tightly packed and close together. If your vehicle isn’t ready for hills or your tires aren’t great I would not recommend.
ScoutThis park is in a city park near ball fields. Also disc golf is 100 yds away. The river is also accessible. The town is nice but not a lot going on. Host is nice. Train does come by but I like trains so I’m good with it.
