    Valley of the Rogue State Park Campground

    State park

    The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because it's near the interstate and you can hear the vehicles going by at night. But other than that the place is kept well cleaned. They have shower facilities and restrooms and there's not a time limit on there to getting take a shower and use the restroom whenever you want

    Harris Beach State Park Campground

    Overbearing hosts.

    Went in December. Never stopped raining. There were maybe 4 people camping there and no one near me for a few hundred yards. Camp ranger harassed me non stop because they had nothing to do, even though they didn’t have time to fix the lights in the bathrooms. Bad experience, Oregon state park employees really suck.

    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.

    middle fork smith river

    Spot to Sleep

    There is nothing great about this spot; just a spot if you are tired. Easy to get to. It is a circular turn around that has space to set up a camp. Very large spot but luckily we were the only there; offers no privacy otherwise. The plus to this spot was the sound of water and night sky.

    Very easy drive in; any vehicle can handle it.

    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.

    Point RV Park at Emigrant Lake

    Quiet camping in Ashland.

    Paved level pads and quiet. Clean bathrooms and showers. In mid-October, the lake is a little more than a big puddle but still fishable if you desire. Short hop to Ashland and many wineries in the area.

    Panther Flat Campground

    Wonderful campground

    It was such a beautiful campground. Not loud at all. It stayed dark at night because of the trees which we love. And the weather was amazing. Will def stay here again

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.

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."
