  Redwood Bar Dispersed Camping

  Favorite site near the coast

  This camp site is amazing. 10/10. Nothing fancy like bathrooms, but a beautiful rocky terrain! Me and my girlfriend tent camped here and although the ground was rocky we managed to pitch the tent just fine. The road leading to the site is long, flat, relatively slim, and windy. A few cars were pulled off on our way to the side camping at pullouts. The site is right off the road but still felt secluded, we heard maybe 1 or 2 cars each night we stayed here. Easily accessible for most cars, my girls Nissan versa managed to climb the very slight incline with slight loss of traction out of the site and onto the road so. Overall great spot right next to the coast

  Miller Bar Campground

  Miller Bar is a hidden gem

  Miller Bar is a river bar that allows DISPERSED camping for up to 14 days. It is about 20 minutes from the town of Brookings. If you take North Bank Chetco River Road all the way down past Loeb Park, it will turn into a gravel road, which is Forest Road 1376. Take the Forest Road down a ways, and you will see a river access sign for Miller Bar. The river access road is WINDING "SWITCHBACKS" WITH SOME STEEP HILLS, which is why only SMALL trailers are recommended. Since parking is directly on the river bed next to the water, camping during winter months with heavy rain is discouraged because of rising water levels and floods. There are vaulted toilets, and that's it, no running water. It is pretty much a "dead zone" for cell phone reception, although with some patience, I was able to find a few spots that I could get service (like 2 bars at the most). I got down there at night when it was dark and didn't see any signs that you had to pay $10 until the next morning when I was leaving. Since it is so secluded, no one even came out there except for locals that were fishing, and there were two other vehicles that were camping also. If you're looking for an "off the grid" peaceful spot to camp out where no one will bother you then this is a great place!

  Crater Lake RV Park

  Quet clean with all the amenities you need.

  Found the location to be good. Close to Crater Lake and other outdoor nature spots. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The laundry was reasonably priced and convenient. Will stay again.

  Seven Feathers Casino Resort Dry Camping

  Very clean and almost level

  I stayed here three nights while visiting the redwood Forest and I went to the casino one night. It's very clean you can't hear the highway noise at night. There is a chance that a medevac helicopter comes in. It did while I was here.

  Ashland's Creekside Campground & RV Park

  A campground with most sites filled with long time renters

  This is a crowded, run down campground.  The campsites had personal items/a sofa left outside their unit.  Many units had clutter and misc. stuff outside of their RV.  We wouldn't advise staying here.

  Prospect OHV Dispersed Camping

  Perfect place for OHV riding

  We absolutely loved camping here. During our off season stay it was fun and with all the ATV trails it was our favorite place to camp.

  Our neighbor campers decided they could ride the trails without helmets and found out the hard way that is is a no no. They were brought back to the camp without their bikes and in the back of a National Forest Service Enforcement vehicle. After being spoken to about the importance of following the rules of the trails, they were left at camp and had to find their own way back to their motorcycles.

  Fortunately we did not have the same experience. It can get very dusty so just be prepared for that. The trails are absolutely great and access to the Rogue River is just icing on the cake.

  It was so nice to have areas provided for unloading bikes and ATV's so folks could safely load and unload their toys.

  Sunny Valley Campground

  cute campground with nice ammeneties

  Nice spot with good vibes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was coffee in the morning in the office which was nice. We had some privacy because we went during the off season. The nice ammeneties made it feel a bit like glamping even though we were car camping.

  Patrick Creek Dispersed Camping

  Quiet creekside spot

  This was the perfect spot to spend a night. The creek behind us was beautiful and the sounds just put you right to sleep. Many spots along the road. Easy with our jeep, but I wouldn't recommend for larger trailers

  Mount Ashland Campground

  Beautiful view!!

  The view was absolutely stunning on the first day then it turned to rainy with harsh winds and very cold the second day. Maybe I went a bit too late in the season:/ This campground is really only set up for tent campers. The place to park for vehicles is far from level. Even with camper jacks I was sleeping at an angle. If you have a van or camper I would recommend parking at one of the more level pull offs before the campground then just walking up for the view.

  Rogue Valley Overniters

  Needed a brake job done

  Excellent customer service, we didn’t have power and it was resolved while we went out to dinner. Management came to us when we returned to verify power was on! Clean tiled restrooms Coin operated laundry Cleanest campground so far, however sites are a little tight and it’s located in the city limits so if you need fast food, restaurants or vehicle service/repair, it’s all near this location.

  Rogue Elk County Park

  Last minute stop

  Self check in campground with reservable sites, pick an unreserved and check in at entrance kiosk. Road is rough but site blacktop are somewhat level but rough old blacktop. Some sites are too close to the road and some nice ones by the river. No showers were available due to water shortages. Bathrooms are a little rundown.

  PNW road trip 🏕️

  Great area with lots of room to separate you from others ! The road in is paved till you drop into the actual camp site which is rocky but easy for a suv to do. The views are amazing and the privacy is even better!

  Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

  Reservation Only State Park

  Right off I-5 so if traffic noise bothers you this may not be the place for you. Lower part of D loop tends to be buffered by the hill and sites in E loop. The road for the sites in C loop is a bit small but can be managed.
  This is a reservation only state park but you can make the reservations day of before getting there. A loop is now Yurts and group camping.

  We were here over Labor Day weekend and although full, the campgound was quiet except for occasional traffic noise, mainly big rigs or loud groups of motorcyclist.

  Burma Pond BLM

  Awesome spot not too far off I5

  The road getting up to it wasn't too bad. Some bigger potholes that we're easy enough to avoid. The pond at the top was beautiful with tons of bats flying around at night. Super cool!

  Curly Jack Campground

  First night of car camping

  Cute little free place to camp. RVs and group camp areas are available, as well as toilets, and water faucets next to each campsite. There is a “beach”, a small opening to a river. Not too busy as Happy Camp is quite out of the way.

  Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

  🔥 hot hot hot 🔥

  This campground is huge! We were in F loop, which is the last loop of the campground and our site was a partial hook-up site on the outside edge so we had a nice view of fields behind us. It was pretty much full sun though and the weekend (Fri-Sun) we were there it was HOT! On Friday when we arrived it was in the upper 90s with pretty high humidity. We pretty much ran our a/c non-stop. Saturday was overcast so we had a bit of a reprieve from the sun, it was still in the mid to upper 80s though. It was a nice walk to the paved trail and there were dirt trails off of that to get down to the river. Even though we had our a/c on at night, I could still hear the peaceful sound of crickets and other night time noises and I found the park to be fairly quiet even though it is right along I-5. There was a ton of space between our site and the sites on either side of us.

  Redwood Bar Dispersed Camping

  Careful with maps

  Great spot by a river. Refreshing water not too cold, deep enough to float.

  Starlink internet is spotty here but you should be good if you park further away from the river.

  Be careful with maps! This listing has the wrong pin on the map. If you use coordinates and google maps it will get you to the right side. If you come across a road with a dead end sign, you’re on the wrong side of the river.

  Beautiful Dispersed View off Fire Rd

  Scenic pull-off that allows camping

  This spot is a gravel pull off that is about 25ftx15ft. You can fit a small pull behind, truck, and/or van. The 6.5 mile road (FS-25) is paved so the accessibility of the site is a plus. The only downside is the logging operation that you can hear during the week further up the mountain.

  Burma Pond BLM

  Off the grid just enough

  We needed a place to set up for a quick sleep on our way down to Yosemite from Washington. I navigated using Google Maps due to other reviews saying Apple made it confusing. This led us right to the pond/camp sites. The road is a little rough with potholes but it’s not terrible if you just drive slow over the holes. There is a few split offs/2-way roads along this dirt road, the last one being a tree with a smiley face and an arrow leading you where to go. Didn’t get lost at all and it was already dark when we got there. No one was there, it was peaceful, clean and quiet. There is a pit toilet/bathroom with toilet paper. No trash cans so you’ll have to pack out your trash. I recommend this spot for anyone willing to drive 10-15 minutes off the freeway for some dispersed camping.

  Calm mostly long term campers

  Staying here is chill and peaceful. Abigail in the office is kind and very helpful. A bit expensive but everywhere is expensive lately (and the high sewer bill is on the city not the park).

  Not really dispersed camping

  There was a few pullouts on the road and I wouldn’t exactly call it dispersed camping. I parked in what I think was a road for fishing access. Only positive was the river was right there

  USFS Rogue River Dispersed

  Off the beaten path

  We had to go in a ways before finding a suitable spot, but it was very secluded. We camped near the road but nobody came through the whole night we stayed. An owl swooped right through our camp site and scared the crap out of us. Easy route in and out.

  Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

  Large campsite, river walk not have priorand bike paths

  We did prior reservations, but the f loop was mostly empty. We had to book online, triggering the $8 convenience fee which is frustrating. The sites are nice, large and well spaced but pretty close to the highway from a noise standpoint. Showers are available, and flush toilets., we'll normally.... lightning took out power just as we arrived and that kills sewers to the showers too. River access is not what I had hopped for, no rocky beach to lay chairs and play with a dog. Instead there is a wonderful river path with intermittent drops down into the river. It was running very fast when we where thwre and this didn't seem a great option for getting the dog a swim. Nice bike path that goes all the way into town. Hopefully power get restored soon, it's over 100F.

  Skull Creek Campground

  Secluded and minimalist

  Easily accessed by 2 x 4 SUV, although there were a few large potholes, easy to maneuver around.

  Appeared to be 4 sites, each with a nice picnic table and fire pit. There was an onsite pit toilet and bear proof trash can. No running water and very little shade from the sun..but it is a free off the grid campground.

  I’m unsure if this qualifies as dispersed camping or more of a free campground provided by the BLM.
