    Little Falls Campground

    Tiny but cute

    This campground is a paid campground, 10.00 a night without National park access pass. There is only 4 spots here Two you have to park in. Overflow and walk to your site. One is a small back in, camper van, suV, truck. The other is a double site, good for small 10ft less RV. We have a 5x8ft CcT so we fit amazingly in the double site. It’s quiet and clean. So close to Grants Pass and to Cave Junction. There is also tent only campground across the river.

    Forest Road 25

    Pretty

    We stayed up the road from this spot but I wanted to leave a review so there is a spot here could fit a 25ft rv. I would definitely park my CCT & Jeep here. Beautiful view The road down past it would be amazing for Jeep/truck/suv tent camping. This area is so peaceful

    Recently took the family to Medford for a baseball tournament and stayed at Mr. Bigfoot RV Park. We had the best time! The park was clean and the amenities were amazing! The pool was the biggest hit with our team! We will definitely be back! 

    FYI- Laundry room was still under construction but they said it would be completed soon! 

    We even came home with the W! Thanks for the good luck Bigfoot!

    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!

    Honey Bear by the Sea RV Resort & Campground

    Beware! No refunds whatsoever even w unforeseen events outside of your ctrl

    I hate having to leave a 1-star review as I do actually like this campground; however, I must make others aware of this issue. I was traveling south from Coos Bay, OR. Evidently there was construction on US-101. Not being from the area(or able to predict the future or knowing anything about a service called TripCheck at the time), I was just following Google Maps, Apple Maps and RV Life like I always do. All of the platforms had me circling around for 6 hours leading me onto unpaved roads that would eventually dead end. Evidently all of the mapping systems think there are roads around the problem area, but they were wrong. I would have to unhook, turn everything around, etc. It was terrible!

    I alerted Honey Bear as soon as I became aware of the situation that I was stuck in Coos Bay for one extra day. I thought for sure that management at Honey Bear would be understanding of the situation and to my request for a refund of(1) night for the day I was not able to stay due to Oregon DOT. I was wrong. Evidently management believes that all customers are supposed to be aware of all road conditions ahead of time.

    If you do intend on staying here, be sure to check all road conditions in the area as YOU will be reasonable for them. This means hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, construction, etc. You MUST be able to predict the future and route yourself accordingly. If not, management WILL NOT waiver and you'll stick be stuck with the bill. What a shame.

    Harris Beach State Park Campground

    Sea to Trail

    Right by the sea, right by some trails, close to Brookings and Chetco River. This campground is clean and quiet, mainly private, flat sites. Staff are on top of it and very friendly. Easy walk to the beach with awesome views.


Guide to Wilderville

Camping options near Wilderville, Oregon extend beyond the Rogue River corridor to include lakeside sites and forest settings at various elevations. The area sits at approximately 1,200 feet elevation with temperatures ranging from winter lows in the 30s to summer highs in the 90s. Several campgrounds remain open year-round, with spring and fall offering milder temperatures and fewer crowds than the peak summer season.

What to do

Disc golf access: Griffin Park offers an on-site course for campers looking for recreational activities beyond water sports. "The local jet tours will often come by so keep an eye out for them," notes a camper who enjoyed the park's river activities.

Boat launch facilities: Lake Selmac County Park provides multiple water access points for fishing and boating. "Beautiful park. Good layout. Liked how there was space between campsites," reports one visitor who appreciated the campground design.

Hiking trail networks: Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground connects campers to longer regional pathways. "Each day we either hiked or biked the local trails. The bike trail goes on for many miles and is quite enjoyable. You can bike into the nearby towns while staying on a safe trail," explains a camper who valued the connected pathways.

Dog-friendly amenities: Multiple campgrounds cater to four-legged campers with dedicated spaces. A reviewer at Valley of the Rogue notes, "Fenced off leash dog park, bike trails, fishing, clean bathrooms and showers, tent and yurt camping and more!"

What campers like

River access proximity: Riverpark RV Resort offers sites directly on the Rogue River. "About 1/3 of the campsites are adjacent to the Rogue river and all of the others have a view of the river," shares a reviewer who appreciated the waterfront setting.

Seasonal decoration themes: Sunny Valley Campground offers special holiday atmospheres during certain times of year. "They also have a really fun Halloween setup during that season," notes a camper who enjoyed the seasonal touches.

Shaded sites: Many campers mention appreciating tree coverage during hot summer months. A visitor to Griffin Park commented, "Quiet, secluded, easy access, host was amazing, large lawn for the kids to play, river access, could not have been better."

Year-round accessibility: Most campgrounds in the Wilderville region remain open through winter. A camper at Lake Selmac mentioned, "We love coming to lake selmac to use the yurts for winter camping. They're heated and cozy."

What you should know

Highway noise factors: Several campgrounds are situated near major roadways. A Valley of the Rogue visitor noted, "This campground is right off the highway. Super convenient. Very clean park facility. Fairly close sites but pretty quiet."

Campground layouts vary: Some camping areas offer more privacy than others. A visitor to Indian Mary Park advised, "I'd recommend making sure you were on the outside of the ring, if you get in the middle it's just campsites right next to each other with no trees for privacy."

Payment methods limited: Some county parks require cash payment. A reviewer at Schroeder Park highlighted, "Park takes cash payments at kiosk near the entrance" and "Self check in if you have no reservations, one night at a time due to people reserving online."

Cell service variations: Connectivity differs significantly between campgrounds. A camper at Indian Mary Park reported, "No cell service here, but the cell booster gave us some connection on both the Verizon and ATT phone."

Tips for camping with families

Playground availability: Schroeder Park provides dedicated children's play areas. "There is a boat ramp, dog park, and kid park adjacent to camping area," notes a visitor who appreciated the family-friendly amenities.

Swimming access points: Some riverside campgrounds have calmer water sections. A Griffin Park visitor mentioned, "The rogue river is usually calm enough here where swimming is allowed and fishing/boating as well."

Multi-generational activities: Campgrounds often offer various recreational options for different age groups. A visitor to Sunny Valley observed, "Nice spot with good vibes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There was coffee in the morning in the office which was nice."

Summer weekend planning: Reservation requirements increase during peak season. "We visited during the week in August and got the very last campsite available," noted a camper at Valley of the Rogue State Park.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for privacy: RV loops vary significantly in spacing and privacy levels. A visitor to Whitehorse County Park cautioned, "The layout puts all the RVs lined up close together in the center of the little driving loop, zero privacy in between sites, and it felt cramped and narrow."

Utility placements: Sewer connections may require special positioning. An Indian Mary Park camper noted, "The sewer hole is the smallest we've seen, and in the hole there is visible liquid or whatever the last person dumped last... Also the hole is set back pretty far, and we had to back up the RV in order to reach it."

In-town services: Some campgrounds provide convenient access to urban amenities. A visitor to Schroeder Park explained, "This county park just outside of Grants Pass along the Rogue River is a good overnighter because it is convenient and inexpensive."

Power options: Electrical service varies between campgrounds. A camper at Whitehorse County Park mentioned, "It's $35 for a 'FHU' site, but there is only 20amp power available."
