    Jackson County Parks unveiled a new RV parkon July 1, 2016 in Central Point (I-5, Exit 33), in Oregon's Rogue Valley.

    The park offers 92 full-hookup sites right in the heart of Southern Oregon, in a prime location near various lakes and the Rogue River, and is near ideal locations for outdoor activities such as rafting, boating, fishing, hiking, cycling and camping. The location is also convenient for attending the Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon, and the Britt Music & Arts Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon.

    SORV Park also connects directly to the Bear Creek Greenway, a 20-mile, paved, multi-use trail that links the cities of Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford and Central Point.

    The new big-rig friendly park features 20-30-50-amp electrical service and water/sewer connections. All sites are paved with standard slips measuring 60’ with 12’ wide parking pads, and premium slips measure 75' with 15' wide parking pads.

    Each site has a picnic table on a concrete pad and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows. The park has three-centrally located restroom buildings with showers as well as an additional restroom in the day-use area of the park. Traveling with pets? The park has a large off-leash area for your dogs to run free and stretch their legs. Future plans for the park include group picnic shelters and accessible fishing docks.

    Conveniently located on the northern edge of the Jackson County EXPO, the SORV Park's close proximity to the EXPO facilities provides a perfect opportunity to camp in a quality RV park, then walk to the Jackson County EXPO for the fair, concerts, rodeos, horse and livestock shows as well as the many other events held at the Expo. Those staying at the park don’t need to worry about parking, where to sleep or where to take a quick break after a busy day at the EXPO as your RV is just a short walk away. The close proximity also offers a great venue for RV clubs and RV rallies to host meetings and gatherings at EXPO facilities and meeting rooms. So come on out and check out SORV at Exit 33.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great place to layover. Staff is super. Facilities clean. Has small island where dogs can be off leash and play in the water. Beautiful river. Few folks fly fishing. One star off only for the highway noise - but if you live on or near a busy road or highway you may not even notice it. If the campground was further off the highway, it would be a five. ATT was usable. Didn’t try WiFi.

    They have about 4 first come first serve sites, otherwise sites are available if tag on site is not for the nite you pull in. Plenty were available when we were there on a Sunday afternoon. Most sites are wide but many are not real long, but width allows for unhooking and space for vehicle or creative parking. Sites are spread out nicely. Our site had no site on one side and back to a trail to lake. Toilets were flush with sink. They honor the senior/golden/etc passes. Some highway noise. But quiet at nite.

    Semi-private sites close to Crater Lake

    The campground is in the beautiful forest a short drive from Crater Lake NP. We had a site along the Rogue river, a short distance from a pebble beach that the kids loved exploring. The campground was busy and several groups were quite boisterous. The sites were semi private with trees in between, but water spouts were few and far between. The vault toilets weren’t very clean. The Union Creek resort stores were just outside the entrance, so it was easy to stay stocked on ice and grab an ice cream cone while we were at it.

    🔥 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Best dog park yet!

    We loved this spot! We were in Space 2. Right next to the river . No one blocking our view. Very hot. No shade. However,we were right near the bridge to dog island. Once cross the bridge our lab could get off the leash and lose his mind jumping in and out of the river. That was great.
    We didn’t have sewer hook ups but that was more than made up for by the pristine bathrooms, showers, and laundry. My wife said that alone makes this a 10.
    And you must go to the little dive cafe in Chiloquin for breakfast. I th8nk it was called “Pops”. Right next to the post office. The corned beef was the best I have ever had. And don’t forget the gravy. Give BIG tip. This is a native American town and your tourist dollar goes a long way. I am serious.
    Afterwards,go check out the free miniature train ride at Train Mountain. If you have kids it is a must. Really fun And of course, Crater Lake is a must see

    A bit crowded

    This is definitely a campground for families. not much privacy between spots, they are all pretty much right next to eachother. if you’re looking for a more secluded, private campground i wouldn’t recommend this. that being said the nature surrounding the campground is pretty. i’m sure the lake is nice to take a dip in, wouldn’t know because we left early but if you’re just looking for a family vacation this would be a good spot. bathrooms were mostly clean and they have showers! and allowed fires even in the heatwave.

    Veterans! Avoid! "America the Beautiful" interagency passes NOT honored

    Lake of the Woods does not entirely honor the "America the Beautiful" interagency pass, even tho it is privately run it is on public NFS land that those passes should cover.

    Shame on Lake of the Woods for taking money from Gold Star Families, Veterans, and Active Duty Servicemen and Women.

    It's a privatized mess. Don't go there. Diamond Lake, Odell Lake, Paulina Lake are MUCH better destinations AND honor "America the Beautiful" passes.
