7. Devil's Flat Campground
Tiller, Oregon1 Review•1 Photo•3 SavesEnjoy a beautiful drive through the picturesque Cow Creek drainage on your way to one of the most interesting campsites in Umpqua. Located under a bluff and surrounded by a forest of cedar, pine, and madrone, Devil’s Flat is a small campground with three campsites, a bevy of hiking opportunities, and a handful of historic landmarks. On the north side of the campground, you can see the stone ruins of an old water fixture built by the CCC “Fire-Eaters” in the 1930s. On the south side is the old Devil's Flat Guard Station, where you’ll find a Ranger Cabin built in 1915 and a 1920s-era horse barn. On a fir tree near the Ranger Cabin, you can also see the tiki carving that gave Devil’s Flat its name. This good luck sign was carved by Ike French, a Hawaiian man who moved to the Cow Creek Valley region in the 1850s with his brother Sampson French; later, sometime around the 1930s, the tiki was misinterpreted by a new crop of settlers, who gave the area the name Devil’s Flat. As for hiking opportunities, Devil’s Flat offers easy access to beautiful hikes of varying length and difficulty: Cow Creek Falls Trail #1422 makes a 0.3 mile loop along cascading Cow Creek Gorge. Elk’s Skull Bluff Trail #1428A makes a 0.5 mile loop from the campground to a vantage point of the Upper Cow Creek drainage. Maranatha Trail #1422A travels 1.5 miles to a viewpoint over the Cow Creek drainage. Devil’s Flat Trail #1428 leads 5 miles to the top of Red Mountain.

The unique, remote setting offers visitors stunning scenery and access to a multitude of recreational opportunities.

Hiking and fishing top the list of recreational opportunities at Acorn Womans Lake Campground. Two mountain lakes, a river and a handful of hiking trails are accessible from the campground. Anglers enjoy the remote location and scenic backdrop of two natural lakes, providing excellent fishing opportunities for coldwater and warmwater species. Acorn Womans Lake sustains rainbow and cutthroat trout, yellow perch, brown bullhead and black bass. The smaller Lake provides a rare fishery for 8-11" wild, native coastal cutthroat trout.

The Cascade Range is dominated by snow-capped volcanic peaks such as 9,495 foot Mt. McLoughlin within the Sky Lakes Wilderness.

Quet clean with all the amenities you need.
Found the location to be good. Close to Crater Lake and other outdoor nature spots. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The laundry was reasonably priced and convenient. Will stay again.

Off the grid but easy to access.
It was first come, first served when I was there. What you expect from free USFS campsites. Fire rings.
Google will take you down some crazy roads. Look at the map before getting on the dirt road and choose the roads that are the straightest; those will get you there easiest. Panhandle rd on the north side of the creek will take you most of the way.

Lightning Springs Backcountry Dispersed Campsite
Quiet Spot with Incredibe Views
After parking right off the trail head and hiking down about 0.8 miles, you have three “established” spots to chose from. I say established in quotations because they are marked with plaques but are all the way rustic sites. The middle sight is definitely the biggest and is where me and four others stayed for two nights. This is a very busy national park in the summer months but going the first week of October (as suggested by the ranger) made it so that we were the only ones in this area. We did have a couple backpackers stop for the night at the first site but other than that is was really quite. The lightning springs trail itself is incredibly long and we only went to where water was flowing so that we could fill up. We opted to hike out the first day and then drive to the Watchman Lookout Trail head and do that one first. It was only 0.8 miles long but I believe a 400 foot elevation change. Absolutely incredibly view. After that we drove north and did the Cleetwood Cove Trail which was around a mile with a 600 foot elevation change. This allows you to get right next to the water. Both hikes we semi challenging but well worth it. While the backcountry campsites do not allow fires, there are other location around Rim Village that have established sites that you can. When we went it was a little colder and windy but the tree coverage offered some shielding from that. There are plenty of other longer hikes as well in the area and other established sites if you are looking to have a more traditional camping experience. The Rim Village center was open and we were able to get a meal and visit the gift shop as well as go farther south and get our NPP stamped. Definitely recommend checking the NP website to see what is opened and closed as well as fire bans. We were lucky that the entire loop was open and got to drive all the way around the second day. While not directly at these sites, there are trash and bathroom areas really close. Really all around incredible views and an incredible weekend stay.

Great spot. Go all the way to the end of the road to reach the top. There is ample room to turn around, in spite of a step climb.
Was able to pull 15' trailer up with 4wd.
Wide open sky for solar and starlink.

Lots of Road Noise
Stayed at site PRV 18. Site is right next to the road with no sound barrier. Very loud traffic late evening and early morning. You won’t get a decent nights rest. The positive: staff very friendly, clean bathrooms, and warm showers.

Ashland's Creekside Campground & RV Park
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.

Prospect OHV Dispersed Camping
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.

cute campground with nice ammeneties
Nice spot with good vibes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was coffee in the morning in the office which was nice. We had some privacy because we went during the off season. The nice ammeneties made it feel a bit like glamping even though we were car camping.

Broken Arrow Campground
Website says open, but gates closed
I camped here last year before the Ride the Rim bike ride and it was great. You cannot reserve sites this time of year - it is only first come first served. I planned on doing the the same thing this year and when I drive up on Friday September 13 the website still said “open” but when I got there the gates were closed. There was a sign that said “sorry for the inconvenience”. Luckily Thielspn View campground was open on the west side of Diamond lake.

Mount Ashland Campground
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.

Needed a brake job done
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.

Last minute stop
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.

Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground
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.

Mazama Village Campground — Crater Lake National Park
Closest campground to Crater Lake National Park
Mazama Campground offers a serene retreat nestled within Crater Lake National Park, surrounded by a lush forest that provides privacy and tranquility. The reservation process requires you to provide your dates and size of RV and are assigned a site when you arrive. As I walked around it appeared pull-through sites were for RVs and trailers, and back-in sites that were assigned to tent or car campers. The pull through sites were long, some are asphalt and others dirt. Our site D5 was asphalt and level. The amenities, including clean bathrooms, accessible water spigots, and regular trash collection, contribute to a comfortable stay. The general store is a convenient spot for registration, fuel, and showers, it's also the starting point for exploring the breathtaking Crater Lake via tour bus or personal vehicle. Even though a forest fire limited visibility of the lake, Mazama Campground remains a memorable destination for its natural beauty and well-maintained facilities.

Fish Lake Campground - Rogue River
Wooded camp near lake
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.

Union Creek Campground - Rogue River - TEMPORARILY CLOSED
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.

Mazama Village Campground — Crater Lake National Park
Poor management/mediocre cabin
The Cabin is perfectly fine, but don’t expect any frills. No cell service or WiFi. No tv. No fridge. The water is hot. Note that this“cabin” is actually four different hotel rooms that all walls. You are not in a quaint cabin in the woods. You are in a bare bones hotel room with thin walls and no amenities. There is a picnic table outside but no real lounge area despite being in the middle of a gorgeous national park.
I ended up in this cabin because the system that manages the reservations screwed up. I booked and RV site 6 months ago and was called two weeks before and told that they overbooked. The only way to accommodate me was to have me stay in one site for one night and then move to a different site for 8 nights. However the 8 night site turned out to be too short for my RV when I showed up there(I was always up front about the length of my rig). I was told the only thing open for the length of my stay was a cabin and were told to park the RV in the cabin parking lot and stay in the cabin.
Things that occurred over the course of 9 days:
Housekeeping knocking on my door at 730am on a Saturday provide service while I was asleep. They typically knocked on my door 2-3 times per day to ask when I was leaving.
running out of toilet paper and having to walk 3/4 mile to the camp store to get more(there is no phone in the room and no service)
the power going out
and my favorite, getting home from dinner at 10pm to find that our keys had been deactivated because“they thought we were leaving that day” and having to drive up to the crater rim(30 min round trip) to get new keys because the camp store closes at 9pm
The campground advertised laundry but the laundry is broken with no timeline to fix.
All in all, I just wanted what I paid for, a campsite with electric that fit my RV. Not a weird parking lot spot and a half-baked hotel room.
Unfortunately this campground is the only game in town. Good luck with your visit to crater lake.

Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground
🔥 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.

Good creater lake location
Full service RV Park in the national Forest 40 minutes from Crater lake rim. Large Park in the woods. Visited in late July and it was only half full. For the weekday pretty quiet and peaceful. Some deferred maintenance like roadways crumbling in spots but all the basics were met. Great little pizza restaurant on the lakes edge is just walking distance.
