Best Campgrounds near Wolf Creek, OR

My family and I stopped here for an overnight stay. We got in around midnight when no staff was on, but they made sure to have a welcome package for us with a direct map to our spot (super helpful). The site is easy to maneuver with all pull through spots to avoid how tricky it is to back up a big rig! There’s also a beautiful little river that runs through the property making the spot a beautiful place to stop. Would definitely stay again!

Our greeting was friendly, booking was easy, and this campground is in a great location for enjoying Ashland; however, this campground is in need of work. Our site was not level and had muddy ruts we needed to work around. The bathroom facilities are a bit rough, and the encampment of permanent residents, while quiet and probably very chill, is not a good look and would be a major turnoff for many people. The tent area looks like it could be under a freeway, rather than at an established campground. Historic mineral water soaking facilities onsite appear to be clean; note that they, and the restrooms, have the sulphur odor normally associated with natural springs. Lots of onsite trees and other vegetation; in spring this will be a charming aspect of the grounds, when it’s blooming and leafed out. In winter, the dormant vegetation I doesn’t do much to provide visual relief from facilities badly in need of cleaning, painting, and maintenance.

I camped one night right off the water. Quiet and clean. I slept great. Had 1 bar of att. Google maps took me right to it

Awesome little campground in the thick of the forest that backs up to the Elk River. The drive there is a narrow, winding road along the Elk River, lush green ferns and trees, and over a dozen small waterfalls. The small campground is free to campers and managed by the United States Forest Service. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring. There are vault toilets. The campsites are accessible by vehicle, making it perfect for truck camping or tent camping. There is no cell phone reception or nearby services.

In 1946, Maria Clopton Jackson, a Portland philanthropist and widow of Oregon Journal publisher Charles Samuel“Sam” Jackson, helped an organization called Save the Myrtle Woods purchase forty-two acres of land on Brummit Creek in Sitkum for a park. In 1950, the property became the Maria C. Jackson State Park. For the dedication, Jackson was chauffeured in a black limousine over miles of winding gravel road. No longer maintained, the park survives as a Myrtlewood Grove of Interest.

Visited Oct 1st, 2024 and park was closed.    You can see in pic you have to call / pre-pay at parks office in Coquille rather than any kind of local pay.

Visited Oct 1st, 2024 and park looks abandoned and overgrown more than just this summer.     You can see in the pic the entrance (road guard) is overgrown like it's been shut a long time.

We absolutely loved camping here. During our off season stay it was fun and with all the ATV trails it was our favorite place to camp.

Our neighbor campers decided they could ride the trails without helmets and found out the hard way that is is a no no. They were brought back to the camp without their bikes and in the back of a National Forest Service Enforcement vehicle. After being spoken to about the importance of following the rules of the trails, they were left at camp and had to find their own way back to their motorcycles.

Fortunately we did not have the same experience. It can get very dusty so just be prepared for that. The trails are absolutely great and access to the Rogue River is just icing on the cake.

It was so nice to have areas provided for unloading bikes and ATV's so folks could safely load and unload their toys.

Stayed for over a week and the only thing is it buts up to a quad/dirt bike trail. Other than that quiet and peaceful!

Excellent customer service, we didn’t have power and it was resolved while we went out to dinner. Management came to us when we returned to verify power was on! Clean tiled restrooms Coin operated laundry Cleanest campground so far, however sites are a little tight and it’s located in the city limits so if you need fast food, restaurants or vehicle service/repair, it’s all near this location.

Self check in campground with reservable sites, pick an unreserved and check in at entrance kiosk. Road is rough but site blacktop are somewhat level but rough old blacktop. Some sites are too close to the road and some nice ones by the river. No showers were available due to water shortages. Bathrooms are a little rundown.

Site #7 has a fire ring (restrictions may apply) picnic table and excellent view of the Rogue River.

Restrooms have flush toilets and a code lock.

We needed a place to set up for a quick sleep on our way down to Yosemite from Washington. I navigated using Google Maps due to other reviews saying Apple made it confusing. This led us right to the pond/camp sites. The road is a little rough with potholes but it’s not terrible if you just drive slow over the holes. There is a few split offs/2-way roads along this dirt road, the last one being a tree with a smiley face and an arrow leading you where to go. Didn’t get lost at all and it was already dark when we got there. No one was there, it was peaceful, clean and quiet. There is a pit toilet/bathroom with toilet paper. No trash cans so you’ll have to pack out your trash. I recommend this spot for anyone willing to drive 10-15 minutes off the freeway for some dispersed camping.

Staying here is chill and peaceful. Abigail in the office is kind and very helpful. A bit expensive but everywhere is expensive lately (and the high sewer bill is on the city not the park).
