Best Tent Camping near Roseburg, OR

We did a last minute camping trip and most places were full. We mostly tent camp. There was very little grass and only a couple of tents. It was a parking lot with numbers for your site. It was loud and no privacy. Would be a great place to camp if you had sand toys and were there to party.

I don’t usually tent camp in Areas like this, but this place was nice. I camped on the lower level which was right above the river. I like that it was well lit at night but not too bright. The river was nice because it drowned out the traffic from I-5. Would stay there again.

We stayed in the cabins on the lake and in the tent sites(separate occasions) both were very nice! there is plenty of fun to be had here with swimming and fishing and boating! nice restrooms with showers and plenty of water for drinking!

Staff was extremely friendly, professional and attentive. They have everything super clean on bathrooms, kitchen and around the park. Tent sites has electricity and picnic tables. They also a full kitchen to cook with free coffee and perishable food. They had free movie night on big screen with free popcorn and a nice forepit.

The tent sites are fairly close together, but it was not crowded when we were there. There is a swimming hole and lots of access to the calm river. There is a fountain of potable water at every site, decent bathrooms, and even hot showers. The sites were shady, some were very close to the "main road" which really doesn't get much traffic.

It is located close to I-5, so it is easy to get to. There are some really nice sites by the creek. It is quiet, has beautiful scenery. There are some sites with full hook ups. There are only outhouses and no showers, so that's why it's good if you're only staying a night or two and are tent camping. We have camped here a couple of times and it hasn't disappointed.

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!

We stayed in site B33 for a few nights in July 2020. The sites are kind of small for tent camping, and a few are a little too open for my taste, but our site had some lovely privacy hedges around it. The bathrooms were cleaned very frequently, which I found comforting given there's a pandemic. The beach and trails around the lake were nice and there's also another cute lake with a 1 mile loop trail nearby (Lake Marie). The only drawback is that it is near enough to the highway that you can hear trucks and sometimes ATVs going by at night. We will definitely come back this way again soon!

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.

We stay at Tugman often because it’s a great Oregon State Campground and is conveniently located off Hwy 101 and close to a lot of outdoor activities the southern coast of Oregon has to offer.

The park is clean, the rangers are super friendly as are the camp hosts in this loop. This park particularly seems to draw a great crowd of campers; very diversified - every type of camping here from Coaches and trailers to Yurt renters and tent enthusiast.

This trip we stayed in site A36. Long back in site and we had problem backing our 32’ trailer into. The site is pretty level and has good coverage / privacy from the campground road and the two sites that boarder it. There’s a decent size area in the back of the site that could fit several tents (maybe a medium and small tent?). The only con it’s situated closer to Hwy 101 and there is significant road noise during peak travel times. Overall - we’d stay on this site again.

We flew into Oregon and drove down the coast from Portland. Tugman is more towards the southern end of the Oregon Coast but in and around the Oregon Dunes area. Very nice facilities and we stayed in a yurt there. It was a nice mix of tent and rv camping. Nice and shady spots. The yurts were awesome:)

pro tip—we made our reservations way in advance. I would highly recommend that if you know you’re going to book as soon as possible, 6 months out if possible. We got the last yurt available for the time period we were out there.

This is a classic Oregon Coast campground! Well spaced sites with lots of vegetation screens! Most of the spaces are for smaller rvs or tents. There are some for larger rigs. A popular place all summer. Nice play area in day use area. Boat launch and beach in day use area.

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.

White Creek has 4 Sites and the privacy isn't great but if you show up early on Thursday and pay 40 dollars a night you can usually get the whole place to yourself.  White Creek has two beaches, one under a beach.  It has a trail that takes you to a cave.  Site 1 is real big with a couple tent spots, and a good hammock spot.  Site 2 has a couple Tent spots.  Site 3 has a couple tent spots.  Site 4 has 1 tent spot.

Loon Lake Campground sits on Loon Lake about 40 minutes outside Reedsport Oregon. This campsite is somewhat private with enclosures from plants/foliage and well kept, but also sits right on the roadside across from Loon Lake and you will need to cross the road to get to the day-use and lake acess area. There is enough room for RVs trailers and/or tents and per usual vault toilets and campfire rings. Make sure to bring your own water.

While staying at this site, if you like to day-trip and see the area I advise that you go up the road and eat a meal at the Loon Lake Resort restaurant and possibly rent a boat or go fishing off of their pier. Reedsport is a fun, little town and is the nearest grocery store for forgotten items.

Ek Creek Campground was a pleasant surprise. Nestled among the giant sand dunes and high OHV (dune) areas of Coos Bay area, sits this well placed campground that has large spacious and private campsites. Most sites contain a drive thru entrance with tent pad sites placed within large buses for privacy. The camproudn has a new flush toilets with sink & handdryer. We stayed 3 days and extended our stay by one night because we enjoyed it so much. Lakeside is a nearby town that has a Dollar General and small store that has most anything you need in a pinch.

There are a dozen or more lakes for fishing, water sports, and hiking. Horsefall beach & OHV area is the nearest beach, about 10 miles (?) Away.

For a national Forest campground on the Oregon Coast, this and Alder Dune Campground are by far my favorite. Well worth the $22 / night to have a guaranteed place to.camp on the coast.

Let me start by saying that Wolf Creek has vault toilets, which accounts for my low rating. I appreciate vault toilets - especially if they’re well-maintained, as those at Wolf Creek are - but as a tent camper, I appreciate sinks and showers far more. That said, my husband and I really like this under-used little campground. It’s well-kept. It’s only about a mile from an I-5 exit, but freeway noise is barely noticeable and the local road is barely used. As tent (truck) campers, we appreciate the fact that 20 of the campground’s 34 sites, including most of the choice sites along the seasonal creek, are designated for tent use. During our first stay there, when we arrived late on a rainy night, we really appreciated the covered picnic shelter where we cooked our dinner. And finally, we appreciate that this little gem is (according to the camp host) rarely fully booked, and therefore mostly available even without a reservation. It’s a lovely, we-forested little campground, and we’ll be back.

(There are spigots with running water throughout the campground.)
