Campgrounds are average and nearby is Griffin park, the rogue river is usually calm enough here where swimming is allowed and fishing/boating as well. The local jet tours will often come by so keep an eye out for them. 

Fun river activities

Loved this place! Found it by accident and ended up staying 3 extra days. Quiet, secluded, easy access, host was amazing, large lawn for the kids to play, river access, could not have been better. 
Didn’t want to leave! 


Amazing secluded Gem.

The place was quiet and fairly private. We got in late and it was easy to find our spot and get settled in. Easy to get to off the 5 so even though you feel like you're out there, it's actually extremely close to a cute little downtown with everything you might need. We stopped in town for coffee and breakfast on our way out the next morning -- it was foggy and serene in late November in the AM. Would stay here again.

  

Our campsite was about 50 yards or so from the Rogue River, and we could hear it flowing all night.   
  
We didn't use any of the facilities here, but there appeared to be some showers, restrooms, and a parking lot if you have an extra vehicle.

Quiet spot that feels remote but just outside of town

We stayed here for a night in May and had a quiet and pleasant time.  There were only a few other campers, most of them in sites closer to the water.  

  

The layout of this campground is nice, with 2 RV loops and a tent/dry camping area by the water.  There isn't any privacy between sites, but it felt ok because of the layout and because there were so few campers there.  Sites are kind of close together so if it were full I think we'd feel cramped.  Sewer hole was towards the middle of the site so we had to pull forward in the morning to dump.

  

Showers are super nice and clean, good pressure and hot.  Campground is clean and well maintained.

  

There are trash dumpsters here but no recycling.  We didn't see a host or a park employee but we arrived late in the evening and just used the self pay.   $40 feels a bit much for a simple county park but we needed hookups and a hot shower, and $40/night seems to be what all the Josephine County parks are charging for FHU now.

Very Nice, Quiet

Clean and roomy spots. 
Some full hook ups. 
Have a 22ft trailer and for just fine. 
Sell firewood on site.  
Beautiful riverfront park area.
