Best Campgrounds near Rogue River, OR

677 Reviews

Campgrounds along the Rogue River in southern Oregon range from developed state parks to private RV resorts, with many offering direct river access. Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground provides year-round camping with full hookup sites, tent areas, and cabins just off I-5 near Gold Hill. Private facilities like Riverpark RV Resort and Bridgeview RV Park offer additional options with riverfront sites. The region includes several KOA locations in Central Point and Grants Pass that accommodate both tent and RV campers, with some offering cabin rentals for those seeking more comfort.

Road access varies significantly throughout the region, with most developed campgrounds easily accessible from highways while some riverside locations require more careful navigation. "This is a popular put-in for the wilderness section of the Rogue River," notes one camper about Almeda Park, highlighting the area's popularity with boaters and anglers. Summer temperatures frequently reach the 90s, making riverside camping particularly desirable for cooling off. Many campgrounds remain open year-round, though fire restrictions are common during the extreme drought conditions that sometimes affect southern Oregon. Visitors should check current fire regulations before planning campfires, as complete bans are occasionally implemented during high-risk periods.

Proximity to the Rogue River represents the primary draw for most campers in the region. Sites directly on the riverbank command premium prices but deliver memorable experiences. "About 1/3 of the campsites are adjacent to the Rogue river and all of the others have a view of the river," explains one visitor to Riverpark RV Resort. Noise levels vary significantly between locations, with campgrounds near I-5 experiencing consistent highway sounds while others offer more peaceful settings. Several campgrounds provide access to hiking trails along the river, including the Rogue River trail that connects multiple camping areas. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, particularly for bird watchers and those interested in river ecosystems. Fishing access represents another major attraction, with several campgrounds positioned near popular angling spots.

    Sunset Campground at Lake of the Woods

    Great national forest campground

    Almost all the pads are paved. Bathrooms are flush and kept very clean. Large well separated sites. Most sites are reserved but mid week (Wednesday) on 9/3 most of the FCFS were open at check in.

    Fourmile Lake Campground

    Lovely Lake Views

    Great campground and excellent camp host. Just off hwy 140, take the dirt road for about 7-8 miles to the campground. The lake is clear and pristine, views for days. Not really a bad campsite. Pit toilets, no showers, no WiFi but Star Link works of course. Trails to hike, kayak, fish, boat.

    Jackson County Howard Prairie Lake Resort

    One of my Favs

    Great location, many sites are right on this gorgeous lake. Boat slips and ramps, kayak and paddle. Awesome trail along the lake. Super well maintained, clean, water, electric hook ups and dump station. A little resort with food. Boat and kayak rentals. A quiet sleep in the trees.

    Laughing Alpaca Campground

    Quirky and cute

    This place is definitely charming. It has its own alpaca pasture and management is very nice! Everyone here was nice and our spot on the river was cool. We saw river otters! Only thing I didn’t love about this place is there was no change machine for laundry and there were no locks on the stalls in the bathroom which was a little weird to me.

    Wolf Creek Park

    Wolf creek

    We had a nice time at this campground. There was a playground our toddler enjoyed, and we were very grateful it was about 20 degrees cooler than grants pass which was 100 degrees at 6pm.

    The sites by the river and backed up to the woods are nice.

    It was pretty empty when we stayed there

    Burma Pond BLM

    Nice, not far from I5

    Quiet spot not far from I5. No noise at all, just the wind in the trees and bullfrogs. There are defined spots with a vault toilet next door. The spots are VERY close together, 10 to 20 feet apart. All of the spots are right on the edge of the water. Spots are small but room for a single vehicle or van at each. We had the place to ourselves on a random Wednesday in August. Tons of blackberries growing wild along the waters edge.

    Road in from I5 isn’t bad, well maintained gravel with a few large potholes. GPS via Apple and Google wanted me to go on a rarely used and overgrown forest road to get here, I recommend using GPS to get in the general area then look at the map to manually navigate the last half mile or so.

    Starlink mini had decent reception for being hard mounted to my roof. Cell service is basically non-existent, one bar of LTE every now and then.

    Canyon Gulch by Eight Dollar Moutain

    Busy & Small

    Came here because the camp ground down the road was gated off and locked. I only saw two sites with fire rings on the side of the road and the road was busy with cars going by all hours for the night.

    Dumont Creek

    Small but pretty

    Smaller campground with only 3 sites, but you can usually find one open unless it’s a summer weekend.

    Vault toilets regularly serviced, no other amenities.

    Water is slow but deep, great for kids of all ages. Beach is rocky, not sandy.
