Best Campgrounds near Tiller, OR

The Umpqua National Forest surrounding Tiller, Oregon features a mix of primitive and developed camping options within forested mountain terrain. Three C Rock Campground, located directly in Tiller, offers basic amenities with both tent and RV sites accessible by boat or vehicle. Devils Flat Campground, another Tiller-based option, operates seasonally from May through October with standard picnic tables and vault toilets but no hookups. Within a 30-minute drive, campers can access more developed facilities at Seven Feathers RV Resort in Canyonville, which provides full hookups and resort amenities year-round, or the more rustic Chief Miwaleta RV Park in Azalea with cabin options.

Road conditions vary significantly throughout the region, with many forest service roads requiring high-clearance vehicles, especially after winter or during spring runoff periods. Summer temperatures typically range from daytime highs in the 80s to nighttime lows in the 40s at higher elevations. Cell service becomes increasingly limited on forest roads beyond Tiller. Fire restrictions are common during summer months, with complete bans often implemented from July through September. As one camper noted about nearby Umpqua National Forest camping: "Stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Crater Lake NP and it was the perfect basecamp. Easy access to the Forest Road with lots of open camp spots. More private spots further up the hill—if you have AWD it shouldn't be an issue."

Riverside camping locations receive consistently positive reviews, with sites along the South Umpqua River being particularly sought after. Mosquitoes can be problematic near water sources, especially in early summer. Campers report excellent fishing opportunities throughout the area, particularly for trout. The proximity to natural features like waterfalls and hot springs adds recreational value to many campgrounds. As one visitor to the region observed: "The N Umpqua trail is BEAUTIFUL. Just an amazing hike. Toketee falls is IMO the prettiest in Oregon. The hot springs are great too." Weekend noise levels can be higher at more accessible campgrounds, while more remote forest service sites typically offer greater solitude but fewer amenities. Most developed campgrounds in the area fill quickly on summer weekends, making advance reservations essential.

    Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

    Great campground

    Easy to access off of the 5 freeway. Many sites to choose from, including day use. Campground was clean. Sites are big enough for our 25 ft travel trailer and Ford F-150 extended bed 4 door. Bathroom were clean but showers are good but warm water lasts 3-4 minutes max. Sites were close to others with no privacy, but wide open spaces and amazing views. A little noisy due to proximity to the freeway.

    On The River Golf & RV Resort

    Lush campground in forested surroundings

    Definitely try to get one of the back in sites along the river. Flat gravel sites with a beautiful view. We found this campground to be much exceeding of expectations! Loved the friendly hosts, lush forested surroundings, and peaceful atmosphere. Better than a KOA!

    On The River Golf & RV Resort

    Beautiful campground by the river

    A hidden gem. We were pleasantly surprised with how beautiful and peaceful this campground was when we stayed there with our three kids. Beautiful fall colors, and lush mature trees at every site. The grounds are kept beautifully and the sites along the river have gorgeous grassy fire pits. All sites are gravel and very level with plenty of room. Very friendly hosts as well! We’d highly recommend visiting this campground if you’re in the area or going to wildlife Safari.

    Forest Road 960 Campsite

    Nice area, lots of spots to camp.

    Great spots with easy access to Crater Lake! We had a blast at this spot. It had ample space for the kids to play. It was pretty quiet, even with lots of other campers in the area. It was a little dusty driving through. There were some porta-potties in the area. Highly recommend for a stay, especially if you're visiting Crater Lake. Forgot to take pictures of the site, unfortunately, but the other pictures are pretty accurate.

    Great stars

    Nice big lot. Beautiful views of stars on a clear night. Very remote. Climb an easy dirt road back a few miles. A few deep potholes but nothing too technical.

    Mr. Bigfoot RV Park

    Cleanest and Best Run ever seen.

    A beautiful RV campground in south Medford, right next to Lithia Fields. Baseball just a short walk from our RV. Beautifully kept grounds, sparkling pool and attentive staff. The GM actually brought some pears from his orchard to us.

    Highly recommend this RV Park. Will absolutely be back!


Guide to Tiller

Dispersed camping options near Tiller, Oregon extend throughout the Umpqua National Forest at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 feet. Access to most primitive sites requires travel on graded gravel forest roads that can become rutted after winter precipitation. Seasonal water levels in the South Umpqua River fluctuate significantly, with spring runoff creating faster currents that gradually diminish through summer months.

What to do

Trail exploration: 2-5 miles from Three C Rock Campground. The river provides multiple swimming opportunities with varying water depths. As one camper noted about Three C Rock Campground: "The river was a absolute gem! This spot was so isolated and empty from other people. We can't wait to come back once the temperature rises to be able to swim! The river has many places to swim and even go on a rope swing."

Fishing access: Available directly from campgrounds. Most sites along the South Umpqua provide direct water access with best catches reported in early morning hours. "The proximity to natural features like waterfalls and hot springs adds recreational value to many campgrounds." Anglers report success with standard trout lures in deeper pools.

Casino entertainment: 30-minute drive from Tiller. The Seven Feathers Casino provides gaming and dining options for campers seeking evening activities. A visitor to Seven Feathers RV Resort mentioned: "At exit 99, close to the Seven Feathers casino, can get a free shuttle to the casino. Extreme nice, beautiful grounds. Because of the fire season no fires at your spot. Has an indoor pool and workout room."

What campers like

Privacy at primitive sites: Forest camping locations offer separation between sites with natural vegetation screening. A camper at Devils Flat Campground reported: "Great quiet little spot. We has the campground to ourself the whole weekend. Even has a restroom. We did however discover ticks. We'll be back."

Clean facilities: Even smaller campgrounds maintain serviceable restrooms. At Dumont Creek, a visitor noted: "Vault toilets regularly serviced, no other amenities. Water is slow but deep, great for kids of all ages. Beach is rocky, not sandy."

Natural setting: The forest environment provides shade and wildlife viewing opportunities. "The sites are paved and level. Everything is super clean." Natural screening between sites creates a sense of seclusion even when campgrounds are at capacity.

What you should know

Limited services: Most campgrounds near Tiller have minimal amenities. Bring all necessary supplies as the nearest full-service store is in Canyonville, 30 minutes away. "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."

Ticks and mosquitoes: Spring and early summer bring active tick populations. Insect repellent is essential, particularly in riverside camping areas. At Mazama Village Campground, a camper advised: "I absolutely loved staying here. Even though the sites are a little close together, there are enough trees for privacy. The wildlife is so cool. Great spot for birdwatching! Be wary of bears though."

Water considerations: Stream crossings on forest roads can become challenging after heavy rain. Campgrounds at lower elevations along rivers may experience flooding during spring runoff. "Stayed at the Seven Feathers RV resort for a few nights rest and to play bingo!!! The park is really clean surrounded by mountains."

Tips for camping with families

Water safety precautions: River currents can be stronger than they appear, particularly in spring. Designated swimming areas provide safer options for children. A camper at Joseph H. Stewart County Park noted: "We kayaked the lake a few times, it was windy & quite a few motor boats. We found a area over before the dam that was calm and good bass fishing."

Playground access: Several campgrounds provide play structures for children. "There are also multiple playgrounds and a large gorgeous dog park. We would stay here again." Most developed campgrounds include open areas suitable for group games and activities.

Educational opportunities: Several campgrounds offer interpretive signs about local flora and fauna. "There is plenty to do in the area." Junior ranger programs are available at nearby Crater Lake National Park during summer months.

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: Most forest service campgrounds accommodate RVs up to 30 feet, though larger units may find limited turning radius. A visitor to Chief Miwaleta RV Park observed: "Nice place on an Army Corps resevoir that's pretty low. Sites are smaller, I only saw 5-6 sites that would take a rig larger than 20". Great play area. A couple of cabins to rent also. Lots of trees, so good shade in the heat!"

Hookup availability: Full hookups are limited to private campgrounds in the region. "Small campground on a reservoir that was quite low. Sites are close together but there weren't many people so no big deal. Douglas fir provides lots of shade."

Road conditions: Forest service roads leading to the best places to camp near Tiller, Oregon often narrow significantly after leaving main routes. "The campground itself is small and quiet, which is always a plus." Many access routes include tight turns and occasional steep grades that require caution with larger rigs.
