Besides the trail to the wildlife viewing area, you can hike the Old Growth Ridge National Recreation Trail, which climbs 1,000 feet above the river into the Coast Range. The 2.5-mile trail was designated in 1994 as a National Recreation Trail due to the exceptional wildlife, geologic features, and old growth trees that are typical of coast range ecosystems. This moderately difficult trail winds through a stand of old growth Douglas fir and offers a look at geologic and botanical features unique to the area. Chinook and coho salmon, as well as steelhead trout can be observed in the fall and winter months in the creek next to the campground. The site also features a paved boat ramp that provides drift boat and canoe access to the Siuslaw River. No permit required to paddle the 6.5-mile river, with Class II - III rapids.

Please use hipcamp for updated info and booking sites. At the Heart of Royal, Oregon (in Cottage Grove proper) we are at the very end of a Dead-End road, which means no sound or light pollution from passing cars or nearby residences. Surrounded by BLM and Timber properties (please be aware of clearly marked private property/no trespassing signs at the end of the public road), while still being just under 6 miles outside of downtown Cottage Grove-the town of Covered-Bridges- with many options for shopping, dining, breweries and live music! Nearby access to wineries and two large lakes (Cottage Grove and Dorena) with swimming, boating, fishing, as well as hiking and biking trails. We are 35 minutes/27 miles from the heart of Eugene.
All campsites are a short walk away from a small pond (no swimming) and epic sunset views! Oak savanna habitat restoration and sustainable thinning of mixed woodland in process on the land.
**Poison oak is present! Please know how to identify, or ask and I will show you** I have done my best to clear it away from main camping areas and trails, but be cautious. Tecnu is provided in the outdoor shower if needed!
**LEAVE NO TRACE//PACK IN, PACK OUT! Trash bags and bins are provided, but please take all of your trash with you, NO DUMPING! This includes compost, as to not attract animals and insects.**
**All guests have access to the outdoor shower, which is located on the 'Pad'.**
**COMPOSTING TOILETS- There is a composting toilet at each site; however, only the toilet at the 'Pad' (near the dome and shower) has a urine diverter. If one feels uncomfortable urinating outside, this toilet can be used. At the other two sites: PLEASE, poop only! Urinate outside and throw TP in trash or composting barrel (around back of toilet). Before use: Make sure bucket is lined with sawdust. After use: Cover waste with sawdust 3:1 and dump bucket in the composting barrel around back. Replace bucket and line with sawdust. Be Courteous! Thank you!** For humanure to break down properly, urine and feces must be kept separate. This is because the urea present in urine degrades into ammonia and kills the microbes that would otherwise break down the waste.
Campfires are allowed within local regulation.
**Absolutely no illegal activity of any kind or you will be asked to leave immediately with no refund. NO HARD DRUG USE!**
The 'Platform' site hosts a bell tent, large fire pit, composting toilet (for #2 only), potable water and electric via hose/extension cord, is a short distance from our outdoor shower, and is accessible with 4WD during the wet months and 2WD during the dry months; however, it is not accessible with a camper/trailer. From this site one can see the top of the monolithic Dome-Home and RV pad.
The 'Tent/Trailer' site is the more secluded site and is available amongst our Madrone and Chinquapin tree zone. The road to this site is flat and accessible by car/camper/small trailer. There is a turn-around (somewhat tight), but trailers larger than 17ft may have difficulty using it. There are many level spaces to park or pitch a tent. Campers have access to electric via extension cord, a small cooking-fire-pit and composting toilet (#2 only); however, potable water, and outdoor shower are all located by the Dome, which campers will have to walk (short distance) or drive to. There is currently an old (being renovated) trailer on site (out of the way), which is off access to campers.

Great location and beautiful view. Great for families. Not the most quiet spot but the view makes up for it. Restrooms were under construction but they provided single vault toilets.
Web site claims "Drinking Water" is available. However, the water coming out of the tap was brown, probably full of rust and minerals. The host told us not to drink the water, only use for toilet flushing and maybe shower. The county claims it is safe, I don't believe them.
Our GPS gave us good instructions to the adjacent golf course. There wasn’t any signage until we got to the golf course. We saw the RV campground (CG) and headed to the left up a hill to a building we later found out housed the bathhouse and laundry. There was a sign to“Detach Your Tow Vehicles Here.” Then another sign stating to call a given phone number to assist with registration. We called the number and they gave us our site number and told us to come by the golf course pro shop later to register. We walked into the small CG to find site 14 and look at the best route to this pull-through with FHUs. Site 14 was an easy pull through and we positioned our rig to facilitate our hookups. The utilities were placed in the middle of the pad, which was plenty long enough for our rig to include putting our back patio down. We had a minor issue with the Oregon-required spigot regulator leaking water. They do have good water pressure at about 50 psi. We reported the issue to the RV manager, Jeff, when we checked in at the clubhouse and they sent someone over the next day to fix the leak. Our nightly rate reflects their golf package for 2 golfers for 2 weeks without cart. Their free Wifi worked much better than most CGs this size. We got 3 bars on Verizon. There are mature trees but we were able to position Starlink to get a strong enough signal for our needs(internet access and streaming). They have cable but admittedly, they are not doing much maintenance as most people don’t use it. The sites here are close together but have a little yard so you are not sitting on the next site’s sewer. Everyone who stays at this RV CG has to have some sort of golf package. Our Vilano Okie Friends came to visit for three nights and had to buy at least one golf round. Our golf package paid for the golf but for a powered cart you have to pay$20 per person for 9 holes or$30 for 18. There’s a mixture of pull throughs and back-in sites in this CG. Some of the back-in sites would be difficult backing for larger rigs due to the limited road width. We suggest calling and talking to the RV manager to discuss which of those sites will fit your rig. One thing we really liked was that after golfing and taking the cart back to the CG to unload our clubs, one of the employees came up around 3:30 PM each day to fetch the carts back. We enjoyed our stay and especially the golf.
Really awesome facility. Every site is big-rig friendly and almost perfectly level. Minimum work getting setup. The river is just feet away. Dog friendly. We especially liked the trains that occasionally tooted and roared down the opposite side on the river canyon.
It's really a beautiful area a nice place to stay people are awesome really pretty the got everything,
Dry Camping
Upside - Right on the lake and lots of spots with shade which would be good for summer heat.
Downside - no alcohol permitted (loosely enforced it seems). And the restrooms and dump station are being rebuilt as of May 2024 and it will likely take a year or more. There are porta-potties. You are allowed to dump at the facility up the road for no cost.
Catherine Thagard is downright racist. She is claims policies that are not written. They threaten you, and are horifically aggressive. They bend their "rules" and policies dependent on "who" you are. Most importantly, they treat their employees horribly. Only stay here if you want to fund a racist, masaginistic company that willingly abuses their staff.
We got here late but met the friendly camp host. Awesome campsites near restrooms, had a picnic table and fire pit with a fold over grill for cooking food. Not free camping!! Paid $25 for the night but it was worth it. We would stay here again.
Wonderful group camp that can sleep all your friends and relatives! Fun little bunk houses for the kids and a big covered area for cooking and hanging out. Big field for tents, frisbee, drum circles, etc. There is a great swimming hole right across the street and a good jumping platform just up the road at the next pullout. The hike from the campground up to the butte is great too.
Our GPS brought us right to the campground (CG). This was our third time staying in what we consider one of our top 5 CGs. Check-in was quick and easy. We proceeded to pull through site 49, which was plenty long enough for our 40’ fifth wheel and F450. The water and electric were centered on the pad. The sewer sat a little farther back on the pad, but that was not an issue. You can hear the river really well from site 49, and that is the major reason we chose this site. If you don't like the sound of a raging river, you would want to get a site further down or a site not on the river. We had good water pressure around 50 psi, 2 bars on Verizon, and the CG WiFi was okay. Even though there were mature trees, we got a good north shot for Starlink. Satellite could be iffy depending on your site. Sites are okay spaced, with some sites closer together than others. Our utilities side neighbor was very close, and our yard side was nearby. They have a nice laundry with 3 washers and dryers that cost $1.50 to wash/dry. There was a significant increase in train traffic from the tracks across the river as compared to our last stay. There were also some updates, such as putting in a really nice pavilion with an outdoor fireplace plus some landscaping additions. The Westfir/Oakridge area is known as the mountain biking capital of the Northwest, and there are a multitude of biking and hiking trails.
We loved the tent/trailer camp spot on Carly’s property. It was quiet and peaceful and we were able to disconnect and relax for a couple of days. There’s a nice hiking trail down to a pond with cute signage to lead the way.
The composting toilet had a stack of dried firewood from the property beside it and also some cute tables and chairs by the fire ring made from local trees.
All in all a wonderful place just outside of Cottage Grove. We will definitely be back next year!
Stayed in Yurt #2 in the Yurt village on Fathers Day weekend. There was also a fishing tournament this weekend, so the park was completely full. The Yurt Village stayed very quite. Most noise was the Trucks/Boat coming and leaving the boat ramp which is about 400yds away.
Yurt #2 & 3 are deluxe yurts. All this means is you get a larger deck and propane firepit. To use the firepit you need to bring your own propane, large 20lb style. The Yurts have solar lights inside and out, not sure how long they run, but they lasted us a weekend with conservative use. There is 2 pit style bathrooms in the yurt village. Bathrooms are located at the parking lot.
The yurt village is a ways from the RV/Tent sites. Not a quick or easy walk.
Parking at the yurt village is a little walk from #2 and #3. Best to bring a wagon or such to help transport. Its about 100yd walk each way.
There are 3 beds, one full side bottom with a twin bunk on top and one full size futon. There is a dining table and 4 chairs. There is no running water, bring your own water. I saw a fountain near the parking lot, but did not test it.
While it says no pets, one other yurt had two well behaved dogs. The park knew and didnt stop them, so make your own decision with your pets but dont ruin it for others please.
Weather was pretty good for us. No mosquitoes, though lots of nats but able to sit outside all day without being bothered too much.
Es un buen lugar para pasar un buen rato esta bien esta chico y mucha vigilancia los espacios están muy pegados es un poco difícil estacionar una Traila por los pinos muy pegados al camino, los baños son de litrina pero si hay baños de tazas y regaderas juntó al muelle.
Jake from the Dyrt here! Royal Heart Hill has a greart property to explore, but is surrounded by public lands to explore too! Check them out and make sure to leave a review on the Dyrt!
Super chill camp ground. Camp host is as nice and helpful as you could hope for. The entire park is very well maintained even for off season.Showers are super hot and strong. Will be back again!!
Beautiful. Perfect place for family. Great scenery. Very clean.
I had amazing time here this last Labor Day weekend with all my friends! I haven’t been camping in a couple years due to my anxiety after being diagnosed with IBS but this campsite eased my worries and I was finally able to enjoy myself with my friends! My only complaint was that they ran out of toilet paper a lot and it would take a long time for it to get filled and the toilet needs to be cleaned out more often but other than that, no complaints here! If you loved camping at fisherman’s bend, you’ll like it here! While I didn’t see any showers while I was there, the campsite was tidy and the sizes of the sites varied. There were even sites for RV and Yurts you could rent out. The boat dock/swim area isn’t too much further from the campsite. But you won’t get much service if you have TMobile. My friend that has AT&T had one bar but that was about it. I highly recommend and will DEFINITELY be visiting as often as possible! It’s my new favorite campsite!
Great campground with hookups and active camp host. Firewood available onsite. Nicest restrooms and showers I’ve seen in any campground! The A Loop is more for smaller campers while the B Loop is better suited for the big rigs. Lots of activities including hiking, geocaching? Fisk golf, volleyball, fishing, swimming, and children’s playground and dog park. ADA handicapped accessible campsites available.
This was a last-minute find. It was packed and every site was taken. We were able to book because someone just happened to cancel their trip. Bathrooms are clean, but the trash can pile up pretty high from people packing water jugs and cardboard that they should probably take home and put in the trash. Sites are surrounded by trees to give privacy and not feel like you are sharing a site with your neighbor. There is a good hiking trail by the park Swordfern trail. Lots of trees were down when we went from the previous storm. But they were actively clearing them out.
Not one of the best places we stayed but it was ok for the few days we were there.
The sites are ok but could use some "TLC!" The one park host does the best he can maintaining 50+ sites. We did have someone get into our truck and steal some money out during the night. (I know, should have locked the truck, but to know people are wandering around looking in vehicles is not a good thing. Some say local "tweekers" are in here a lot. ARGH.)
It does offer things to do such as, swimming, fishing, hiking (walking) , just watch out for poison ivy and raspberry vine thorns, bike riding and a great Disc Golf course. There are large places for group gatherings as well.
It's ok, just use caution. That's all.
Nice time. Hated the traffic 😒
I had a great experience here The campground was clean, the leave no trace policy is followed here. Quiet hours are 10pm - 6am, it was quiet even during the non-quit hours. Very private. There are running water spigots strategically placed throughout the camp, each water station has a waste water dump, and trash can. There are flush toilets with running, a sink and trash can. The garbage was picked up daily. Each site was a tent pad, fire pit and large table. Each site was very private, I couldn't see the other campers unless they were passing by our site. There is no internet, no electricity, and no showers, bring your own. The only negative was the mosquitos - easily resolved with a netted day tent or pop-up with mesh. Laying Creek sounds heavenly all throughout the camp, the trails are great to walk, and you will eventually wander to a swimming hole. Beautiful campground, with a great history going back to 1933. Highly recommend!
First, it's a really LOVELY spot, right where the Whittaker Creek joins up with the Siuslaw River.
And parts of it are really lovely.
BUT!
Paths from the sites (7, 8, 9, others) to the river, that are *kind-of* there, need a lot of care. There real weed-whacker, brush-clearing messes right now.
And!
It's not clear which camp sites will give you those views of the river that we see in photos. Very few are in *sight* of the water.
If river views are what you're hoping for, campsites 31, 1 and 2 are solid choices.
Clean bathrooms, trees between parking spots, and right off I-5. We also appreciated there was an after-hours check-in option for drop-ins like ourselves- they left envelopes for each free site up front and you could fill out the one you wanted and put in a drop box. While we prefer more private / wooded campsites, we have no complaints.
We enjoyed our stay so much! The website is a tiny bit misleading regarding campfires. There are no fire pits at each site however, we still REALLY enjoyed our stay. The staff was nothing short of wonderful and the amenities were top notch. WiFi worked awkwardly well. Some sites are right on the river. The two rivers converge right at site 52… so lovely. We will be visiting again… very soon.
This is a good sized KOA that was easily located off the highway. Check in procedures after hours were straight forward. We had a pull through 30w full hookup spot and it was a bit on the snug side for our 29ft travel trailer and Chevy Silverado. We had to unhitch and park at an angle to fit and lots of others at the campground were doing the same thing. Pool was drained due to maintenance, but they had notified us of that prior to reservation. Lots of other fun activities for the kids were available, including basketball, playground and miniature golf. The camp kitchen provided was underwhelming compared to other KOAs (just a large plastic white sink with no real work space.. other KOAs have had wonderful set ups and that's always very convenient). The bathrooms were clean but showers are small with a small attached dressing area and the plastic lining of the shower walls was chipped in places. Just needs an update. The store was great and has some very cute camp decor and souvenirs as well as all sorts of standard camping supplies. WiFi was absolutely horrible, sorry to say.. even with our booster, couldn't even write an email on their WiFi. Verizon service was thankfully very strong and we relied on that.
This is a great weekend location with Sweet Home and Green Peter nearby. This is also a great “first park.” Of you’re new to rv’s, this is a great place to try out the set up- all of the sores are in very good condition and easy in and out.
