CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Almeda County Park, near Merlin, Oregon, is a straightforward campground that offers a no-frills experience right by the Rogue River. It’s a popular spot for those looking to fish, swim, or just kick back and enjoy the great outdoors without the distractions of modern life—no cell service here!

Between a Road and River

Open area type county campground with no privacy that sits between the main road and the river. 

A lot of fishing boats as it has great river access but very crowded. We checked it out but did not stay here as it was dusty and crowded and loud. There was no water provided at this time, also NO fires allowed. 

Trash and recycling on site as well as bathrooms. 

No cell service from ATT, Verizon or TMobile along this whole river road area.
