Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Roseburg, OR

This is the cleanest, most well-maintained KOA I have ever Camped in. It’s family and pet friendly with a well-maintained playground area for the kids and an enclosed dog park for the pets. If that’s not enough consider this: it has a dedicated ATV riding area for the Littles - no big kids/no big ATVs - and is a perfect spot to teach young kids how to ride. This campground has full hook ups and Wi-Fi that actually works! The camp Staff & employees are extremely friendly and helpful. It boosts a small general store on site as well as being located right next-door to an ATV rental shop. The ATV rental shop also has parts, accessories and fuel! Did I mention that it has great access to all the wonderful dunes? If you are an ATV/UTV enthusiast this KOA is for you.

Owners are very kind and welcoming. Helped us back into our site. Sites are large enough to park vehicle next to camper. Picnic area is on cement. Roads in good shape. Very clean and organized. River is right by campground and you can walk by it. Nice dog park. Would stay again.

If you're quick enough on the draw, you can rent a yurt from most Oregon state campgrounds. These sell out fast though so if you want a bit of glamping, plan it out in advance. The dog we were watching loved it and I think the yurt was best for him since he'd have been scared of the tent. Only a couple of the yurts are designated pet friendly. A short walk leads to a kids play area and the beach isn't too far away.

We love camping by or near the coast. This place was pet friendly. Has some trails to walk on. Friendly park staff. Spaces were definitely good size.

Notice the asphalt spaces were not very level. Most RV/Campers had to use blocks to level out. Very woods sites and all spaces shaded. This site is close to the Eel Lake for boating, and across the highway101 is access to the dunes. But this State park is not gear up for ATV riders. A must to RSVP for the summer. Can get cel service and mobile data service. Park Host clean up sites quickly. On the East side of HwY 101. About 6 miles North to Winchester Bay, and a few more miles to the beach. Pay day use parking of $4 to Douglas County for beach access.

Have 16 yurts, 8 yurts pet friendly.

Have a hiker/biker camp

Shower and restrooms, very clean (no spider webs)

RV dump site, ask for a $3 donation.

Right off I-5 in Canyonville, Or between Grants Pass and Roseburg. Great RV/Trailer parking lot for dry camping to rest up for another day of driving. Pulled in at 8pm on a Wednesday in October with plenty of spots available.

Super friendly rv management and staff- could not have been more welcoming. There are 2 dog runs, laundry, showers and bathrooms on site. Small store in the management office for sundries and rv gear. There are some full timers who live in the park but seem to be isolated in 1 part of the park.

Gravel pad, no cement. 30 & 50 amp hookups along with water, sewer, cable and WiFi. WiFi drops often and can’t be used for streaming. No troubles with ATT cellular service.

Park is next to a mobile home park that may be sketchy, but the RV park is a gated community that needs a passcode from 6 pm to 8am daily. I felt perfectly safe within the park but there is no food or shopping within walking distance. Not far drive though is a grocery mart and plentiful restaurants. Roseburg itself has everything you could need within a 10-15 min drive from the park.

I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

Note: spot 62 was close to Hwy 99 and you can here the traffic if your windows are open.

Seven Feathers Casino, not too south of Roseburg Oregon, has two nice options for RVs near their casino. First is the "RV Resort" which has an indoor pool, very nice pull-through sports, etc. and will run you around $100/night.

Or, you can follow signs to the "dry" RV camping just on the east side of the casino. As far as free casino spots go, this is a pretty nice one. No construction, not too bad for highway noise all things considered. There's even a large green grassy area if you want to get out and stretch your legs.

It's for self-contained RVs only, so make sure you have water, bathrooms etc., though you can also eat dinner or what-have-you at the casino. Maximum of five days stay. Generators are prohibited 10pm-7am, which helps keep the noise down.

Steamboat Falls Campground has 9 sites.  it sits 1 mile off of Steamboat road 1 hour outside of Roseburg Oregon.  Site 1 and 2 are on top of each other and should be rented together, which makes it $20 a night but its worth for privacy(To help, 1 has a good view of a water fall).  Site 3 is small and on the road.  Site 4 is huge and definitely the one you want.  It's got room for at least 3 tents and has an amazing view. Site 5 and 6 are good size sites but they don't have much privacy between them, thats another set I usually rent together. Site 7, 8, and 9 have 1 tent pad. There is a day use area with an amazing view, and 2 different trails that takes you to the water.(great swimming and rocks to jump off of)   I will add a video tour of the park.  One negative to this place is Poison Oak, but there are a few signs on the fences showing you what it looks like.

As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I have the distinct pleasure to tryout and review gear from great outdoor companies. This is my ranger review of the Primus Lite+ backpacking stove kit at Rujada campground in Oregon.

Campground review

Rujada is smaller campground located just south-east of Cottage Grove, Oregon; up Bryce creek rd.

This is a nice, well-maintained campground right on Layng Creek, in a heavily wooded area. It offers 15 campsites, some of which can be reserved online and others are first come, first served. The sites are quite unique to each other, some offering privacy, some larger and open, and a couple just off the "Swordfern trail" next to the creek. You can hear the creek's small waterfall from most of the sites, and there is even a couple of spots on the creek to take a dip; if you wish.

The "Swordfern trail" starts at the day use area; where you can find a large ball field, horseshoe pits and a tiny playground. The trail continues into the forest following the creek, until it takes a big bend back around to the campground. It is an easy to moderate 2 or so miles, that I feel is family and dog friendly, as the grounds allows pets. If you want bigger hiking payoffs, just up the road approx. 6 miles, you can find "Pinard", "Moon", and "Spirit falls". Each are around 2 easy hiking miles and worth hitting, you can easily do all three in one day. I highly recommend these falls as they are some of the better, lesser known falls in Oregon.

As for amenities; Rujada has two restroom facilities, one pit and one gender-specific flush, with sinks, located nearby the day use area. They also have trash service, recycling, water bibs and dish water troughs. There are no r.v. specific sites, so no power or sewer hookups. Each site also offers the expected firepit rings as well as awesome picnic tables made from big timbers from back in the day.`

I liked this campground overall for its small size and more primitive nature, I will return and use it for a good jumpoff point for the many beautiful hikes nearby.

Product review

Primus Lite +

https://primus.us/products/eta-lite-7?variant=17262691525

The Primus Lite+ is a great, light and well built integrated backpacking stove/pot kit from the makers of the original soot free kerosene stove back in 1892. These stoves have come a long way, now offering auto start piezo igniters, no need for manually lighting with a match.

The integrated pot system is attached with a grasp on the neoprene surround and a twist. No need to worry about your pot falling off while boiling water. If you would rather use your ol' trusty pot or kettle; it does have 3 small pegs that can be screwed into the burner to better balance your cookware. These pegs also attach to the pots strap and are at hand anytime. For more stability it also comes with two more options, one is an included tripod stand that fits 3 size fuel bottles. The other is a sweet, included hanging lanyard, so if you can't find a suitable surface, you can hang it from a nearby branch.

If you purchase the smallest size fuel canister, all items(less the tripod) will fit into the integrated pot, taking up the least amount of space possible in your pack.

This unit burns very hot, as the flame is concentrated directly on the pot and is not very adjustable. It does boil water very quickly though, 3-4 min. depending on conditions. I do feel that it might not be the best unit for cooking food as I could see it easily burning the food to the bottom. I might try rice or soup, just keep an eye on it. It is a perfect setup for making Mountain house meals and I love it for my coffee.

My only criticism would be the pouring spout, or lack thereof. The cap has a hole for pouring with two alongside to allow for airflow. My problem, which may be user error, is most times I'm pouring, the water spills down the side of the pot. I tried to pour quicker, or slower, at an angle, and almost always have this problem. It is getting better each time I try, so hopefully I can solve this soon.

All and all a great unit and does all that would be expected from this type of system, with some cool unique features. I recommend this to any backpacker or even the casual camper.

The website was not kidding about not following the directions through Google Maps. The last 9 miles to the resort was really trying - the roads were narrow, twisty and winding. If you are probe to car-sickness, go slow. I took extra precaution and dabbed essential oils on myself and my children.

Our pull-through site was in the Upper Marina, #22. If you have an extra canopy for camping, I'd suggest you bring it. It got really HOT when we were there. The good news is once the sun sets behind the trees, around 6pm, it makes eating dinner at the picnic table so comfortable and cooling.

My husband and children perused the bathroom/shower facilities which was just across from our campsite. He said it was spacious - a shower + private bathroom + sink setup and wide enough for a family.

Access to the swimming beach/boat launch is just a short 3 minutes walk. You just have to exercise caution because you will be crossing a main road (cars and big logging trucks rumble along often enough during the week).

The swimming (sandy) beach is cosy (read: tiny). There are no lifeguards on duty but enough trees offering shade for parents/families to sit back and keep watch.

You would have to drive back 5 minutes down the road to visit the Lodge for supplies or ice. The Lodge also provides some light refreshments* (deli sandwiches and ice-cream).

Our site offered full hook-ups including cable (limited channels). WIFI* was a disappointment though - we had to create an account for a complimentary hour of WIFI usage every day. Together with the zero cell reception, it renders us completely off the grid. It's great really to totally relax your mind and body but it is worrisome for that what-if's scenarios.

*Ice-cream was very pricey for the single not-generous scoop in a plastic cup that we bought for each of us. Because of the steep prices and WIFI availability (you have to pay if you want to get connected), I could only give a rating of 3.5/5 stars.

Otherwise, we had a great time at the RV resort. The sites are appealing for huge family reunion (we witnessed such a reunion during our trip). We will be back! 😊

We are a family of 4 (2 young boys with no pets). We traveled with a travel trailer.

This park has full hook ups, wifi and cable box. Most sites are under the canopy of large trees and shady. They have a bathroom/shower/laundry facility.

We love the proximity to some of Roseburgs best wineries. The river is great for kayaking, swimming or fishing. The State park is adjacent to the RV park and has a wonderful kids play area, volleyball, horseshoes and a boat ramp. Great area to walk around every morning. OSU also has their Master Garden adjacent to the park. It’s a great walk while admiring all the beautiful trees and flowers.

There is great hiking about 35 miles out of town (going toward Glide). You can hike into your choice of 12 different waterfalls.

Mark and Diane are the new owners They made sure we knew to call them if we needed anything or had any issues {no issues}.

This was my favorite campground. The location was great and the amenities were superb. You can tell the developers put money into the property and thought through about the experience - whether you are just camping and having fun or whether you have to work from the road. They offered great wi-fi and office spaces to be used when needed. They have an indoor heated pool, a gym and many bathrooms throughout their property. I believe all sites are full hook up. We Stayed there for 4 weeks as we were traveling through the beautiful Oregon coast with our travel trailer and our pets. We had 3 different sites and it is because we wanted a water front spot for a few days then decided to extend our stay as we liked the campground so much and we could easily go up or down the coast as planned. All of our sites were great and the staff is so friendly and as accommodating as they can be. Their store has great items, they are well branded and they even bring you ice and fire wood if you buy is from them-you can just text them - easy user experience! All of the bathrooms and laundry rooms were well maintained and clean. We were there in July, during the pandemic and things were pretty calm and people were keeping a distance and respecting the guidelines. You don’t have a trailer? No problem, they have a few tiny houses which look amazing and they also have air streams people can rent. It can get super windy at times - there were a few nights I thought our T@b was going to fly away and we were going to look like the cow in twister LOL but thankfully it didn’t! We watched beautiful sunsets from our trailer and walked by the water in the morning and around sunset. Bay Point Landing is a great property and well located. Great drive to a few parks close by. If you are staying there for a few days, go to see the dunes and check out the beaches; it is super pretty. We also made it all the way up to Cape Kwanda, and it was one of our favorite places. The hike to the top of the dune is worth it and the view is breathtaking. If you are going with kids, be careful because there are not a lot of barriers at the top, which we thought it was a bit odd. It is an easy drive to Depoe Bay (north of Coos Bay) where you can see resident whales often. We also went al the way down to Brookings, on the border with California. Beautiful beaches along the way so don’t go in a hurry, take your time and enjoy the beautiful view. We will absolutely be back. We loved this campground!

This lovely county park campground near Roseburg offers trees, shade from the summer heat, and scenery, but I'm giving it 3 stars for being crowded and somewhat noisy. I admit I was there during peak season, and spent only 1 night, but found that my tent site lacked privacy, and the structure of the gravel road and pull-ins was such that almost every site (except for 1 perimeter drive) was subject to regular vehicle and foot traffic. There is a large yurt for rent on one end of the campground, constructed on a spacious deck overlooking the creek. It appeared to be handicapped-accessible, but as I stood admiring it, I could hear traffic noise from the highway. In between my campsite and the Campground Host's was a camper full of kids in their tweens, who started roaming the small campground after 10pm, making loud, obnoxious noises and laughing hysterically at themselves. When this went on for nearly half an hour with no intervention from adults, I did shout "SHUT UP!" at them after they passed my site and seemed to direct a shout at my tent. They stopped after that, but I hated to be That Person. There were flush toilets, running water, and showers. Bathrooms had neither soap nor paper towels or a working blow-dryer for your hands, so be a good scout and go prepared!
