Best Tent Camping near Wilderville, OR

We were travelling up the coast into the night and not finding somewhere to tent camp when we stopped here. There was a sign that said not to camp without registering but the office was closed. A nice couple gave us the wifi password and we called the number on the sign. They were very helpful and told us where the tent sites were and to pay in the morning. We camped in a big meadow by the creek with not a single other camper there in the tent area. My son loved discovering a newt and slug by the creek in the morning. We also made use of the showers and laundry services. Price was 45 for tent site, which wasn't cheap but reasonable.

All the campsites along 101 for miles were taken and we saw the sign to this place...

Wow! We were surprised that they had a single tent camping site left. They were surprised too in fact. Anyway, the place is a legit resort. Its some 50 acres and the tent campsites reside away from the RV area a little ways. Enough to seem secluded. They situated the place perfectly. My words cannot describe the elegance. Its a great natural setting. They set you up with a map. $25 a night but well worth it. Your closest neighbor is like 50-75 yards away at least. Soft grass ground, picnic table, fire pit. We got a site placed right behind two large ponds huge meadows. It was great. Very clean. Staff are mostly there to run the main store and RV area and are very accommodating if you need assistance. Again, the buildings and RVs are a little walk (out of sight) of the tent camping area. Showers if you need them. Beach is a short 1/4 mile walk across 101. Water available. If you’re looking for deep forest rough camping this isnt it. If you’re looking for easy going camping and beauty, this is just the place.

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.

Camp ground was full so I had to find somewhere else after driving. $19 a night for tent camping.

Lovely spot. Best TV park we’ve ever stayed at. Sites feel more like “camping” and less like “parking lot” like many RV places. More open space. Nice dog park too. Tent sites are very spaced out and lovely.

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.

Popular 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.

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.

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!

Our son-in-law took us to this campground where we stayed over night over the 4th of July holiday in 2018. On this occasion we were tent camping. It was a quiet and enjoyable camp. the amenities were clean and well maintained. We will be going back there when we are in the area again.

Have stayed at Loeb many times over the past 37 years -- tent camping, cabin camping, and now tent-trailering -- and it has been fun every time.

The showers are great. Short walk to the super-clean Chetco River for swimming and salamander-camping. Twenty minute drive to the ocean beaches. Good hosts. Fun watching kids ride their bikes around and around. Grassy park-lawn section for croquet or bocce ball.

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.

It 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.
