Good points: I think this is the cheapest campground with amenities near Ashland, only $27.50/night for a tent site with a water pump. The place didn't feel sketchy at all- although there are clearly some long term residents, it feels well-run and family friendly. Wifi was surprisingly fast and reached all the way over to the tent sites, and there is a place near the bathrooms to wash dishes. All tent sites were shady with large blackberry bushes providing privacy on three sides.
The not-so-good: the tent sites have a road right behind them that's often busy and loud. The showers in the women's restroom have unbelievably poor water pressure, and the water temp fluctuated from boiling to freezing for no reason unless you twitched the dial just right. Also, there's no place to hang a hammock near the tent sites but that's just a quibble.

Nice campground- 3 Dry RV sites open year round. Great tent camping also.
Traveler
Camp ground was full so I had to find somewhere else after driving. $19 a night for tent camping.
Guide
This NFS campground is located on the Rogue River. Sites are very dispersed and full of Redwoods with river at your back. Doesn’t get much better than this for tent camping.
Guide
Free and beautiful! Great spot near Crater Lake National Park. Head down the hill to more remote tent sites.
Traveler
Its a nice little campground. I think its a little expensive for tent camping at $15 a night. Also the out houses are kinda weird. They aren’t normal USFS pit toilets, they are out houses.
Traveler
The tent sites are right by the lake and are so so pretty. The hosts are super friendly and the store has everything you need. Would definitely come back in the future.
Guide
Me and my daughter did some tent camping here in August.
We got massive space in the trees overlooking the lake, quite private.
Some of the larger spaces are quite open for tents, but everyone seemed to be having a great time.
Great family camp ground. and near the town of Shady Cove for groceries. And not far to Crater Lake.
Nice place.
TravelerFree spot! We stayed here in a truck camper and it was perfect for the night. Big lot next to a snow shelter. Not much for tent camping although I guess you could... Much more ideal for vehicle camping.
My only complaint was the awful mosquitoes.
Would definitely stay here again.
Traveler
Emigrant Lake may not be your destination if you are looking for a lot of privacy and quiet, but is a nice option to get out in nature while still being close to town. Oak Slope has some spots that can be fairly private, with nice tent camping amenities and easy access to the lakeside.
Guide
This campground is off to the right vs going to Whiskey Springs. There are trails, flat ground, fire pits, plenty of room for tent camping & RV. This is near a logging area, so you can bring your ATVs & go on the logging roads. Occasionally bear wonders through, so bring protection, otherwise worth the camping trip.
LegendPopular state park on the banks of the Rogue River in Southern Oregon. Numerous RV camp loops with cement pads. Full-Hook-ups available, though sites are close together. There are a few that are near the shoreline of the river. Tent camping also available on-site, though the whole campground is near I-5 in that the main entrance is through a rest area. That said, it’s a well loved and well used park with nice facilities. When we were there the camp host was hosting a cool junior ranger program complete with a tent of nature artifacts and activities for the kids.
Guide
We were down in Southern Oregon for the Caves.
We stayed in the Heron loop which was the smallest and most primitive, It was wonderful and we had the whole south of the lake to ourselves. Firewood here is not bundled and since it was off season we got a huge amount for$5. The hosts were terrific. This was a wonderful quiet stay.
Will always be back.
This year it was pretty spendy for a tent site $24
Traveler
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. The river was nice because it drowned out the traffic from I-5. Would stay there again.
Traveler
We stayed in the cabins on the lake and in the tent sites(separate occasions) both were very nice! there is plenty of fun to be had here with swimming and fishing and boating! nice restrooms with showers and plenty of water for drinking!
Scout
relaxed atmosphere and reasonably priced for car and tent camping, plus camping fees include access to the rejuvenating sulphur-rich hot spring pool, swimming pool and sauna. this is right in the Ashland/Medford metro area so is very convenient for travel days when you have things to do in town. also hosts interesting events like yoga classes and live music!
Traveler
Fish Lake reaper is located on the beautiful Fish Lake. We had a tent site and it was huge! However limited privacy. This is definetly a RV campground. You will be right next to your neighbor. However, the staff are friendly and the restaurant was good. They even had live music.
Guide
Tent camped at Bolan Lake on Saturday, not a lot of people here which was nice. Sites have fire pit and tables, clean space to pitch tents or use rooftop tent. No WiFi or cell reception. This weekend was hot, close to 110 and being at lake was perfect. If you want peace and quiet, water access and blooming flowers with trees, this is a good spot.
It’s a pretty long dirt road to get to the campground, make sure you have good tires that can handed rocks/dirt terrain.
ScoutIt is located close to I-5, so it is easy to get to. There are some really nice sites by the creek. It is quiet, has beautiful scenery. There are some sites with full hook ups. There are only outhouses and no showers, so that's why it's good if you're only staying a night or two and are tent camping. We have camped here a couple of times and it hasn't disappointed.
GuideThis is a great place to stay that has all you could need! Cell reception, WiFi, pool, hot tub, Ashland is like 5 minutes away, restrooms, even a sauna! Clothing is optional in the pool area let at night so be aware if you’re not into that or have kids. tent sites aren’t separated meaning you pitch your tent in an area where everyone else does. Other than that, I Highly recommend!
GuideNext to Annie creek a few sites are available. 2 asphalt sites then maybe a dozen drive in/tent sites. Annie falls is right up the road and the creek does bring cool air from the mountains. I stayed here 3 nights, close to Crater lake and an organic grocery/motel/TV park that I loved. Smoke from Bootleg fire drove me away.
GuideWe came in mid march so they were still technically in their “off season”. All the staff I spoke to were very kind and helpful. There was no one else tent camping so we had the whole area to ourselves. Since it was the off season the store, bathroom and restaurant were closed but it’s still a really nice area to camp. It also had good cell reception. Only thing is that it was buggy when we were there.
Traveler
This is a nice county park on the banks of the mighty Rogue River. Tent sites, RV sites and even a Yurt or two. Close to the town of Grants Pass for shopping or whatever yet quiet. The stars shine and you can even see the Milky Way at night. Fishing is grea on this stretch of the Rogue and a favorite spot towatch the white water races over Memorial Weekend.
Guidewe love coming to lake selmac to use the yurts for winter camping. theyre heated and cozy. weve probably camped here a half dozen times or so over the past couple years, including standard tent sites. the kids enjoy the fishing and i love the view across the lake. we will probably be back again later in the year when the weather turns back to cold and rainy.
Guide
Named for a unique tree that grows here, Tree of Heaven Campground is a sweet little spot. I had tent site right on the river and nearly had the place to myself. Basically it’s set up as a loop with a large grassy area and restrooms in the middle, and a put in spot for rafters up near the larger beach. Peak summer months are very warm and ticks are plentiful, especially in the grassy areas.
TravelerThe pools are nice to soak and the general vibe is good. The campground is old and worn down which I don't mind much, but it is junky feeling. There are many long term residents with lots of junk in their spaces. Some are decked out with a creative spirit other are just garbage. The playground has lots of old degrading riding toys and tent camping is basically a field. We had an RV site with partial hookups and it was barely maintained. We ended up leaving a day early.
Three stars for the pool on its own.
Traveler
My family and I stayed a couple nights and we had a very relaxing time. The pier close by was perfect for Bass fishing. Not alot of boat activity which was nice. Tent camp areas were a decent size. We did see a few RV spots being used as well with hook ups. Lots of Hiking available and the owners are nice. They keep the sites clean and are very helpful if you need anything. Their water comes in daily so they say try not to wash dishes or use excessive amounts. Would recommend for a quick trip.
