Most RV parks near Myrtle Creek remain open year-round due to the region's relatively mild winter climate.
What to do
Disc golf access: Millsite RV Park offers convenient access to a disc golf course located just 100 yards from the camping area. "The RV faces a wonderful park. There's a nice trail to walk or run around the park, and also by the river minutes away," notes camper Michaela M. about Millsite RV Park.
Fishing opportunities: The South Umpqua River provides good fishing access at several campgrounds. At Rising River RV Park, one camper mentioned, "Great low-key, river spot. Excellent spot to settle down for a few days and raft the lazy current. One piece of advice, there are some small leaches in the river to watch out for."
Golfing amenities: Several campgrounds feature golf courses for campers seeking recreational activities. Bar Run Golf and RV Resort offers an 18-hole course with challenging play. "Golfed every day on the most beautiful and challenging 18 hole course - designed by Dan Hickson," shares Julie G.

What campers like
Indoor amenities: Seven Feathers RV Resort features climate-controlled facilities for year-round comfort. "There is a covered pool and hot tub building with a fitness club/room. There is a separate building with several showers, bathrooms and laundry. Everything is super clean," reports Darcy K. about Seven Feathers RV Resort.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently praise the well-maintained bathrooms and shower facilities. At Riverpark RV Resort, a visitor commented, "Bathrooms & showers were so clean. We explored a little before the sun went down. The pup and I went for a walk in the morning and were greeted by so many friendly dogs on walks as well."
River views: Many campsites offer direct river access. "The river is just beautiful, and there's a nice, long, grassy stretch that's good for walking, with benches and a lovely view. I imagine in summer you could swim if you are comfortable with a strong current," explains one camper about Rising River RV Park.
What you should know
