The Best Camping Near Ophir, Oregon

Couldn't have hoped for a nicer campground.  Quiet, but not too far off of 101.  Right along the Rogue River so you get to watch 'Mailboat' tours go by - lots of fun for the kids.  Good rock hunting as well.  Will definitely go back to this one.  Make sure to check out the biggest Myrtle tree nearby.

Near perfection

This campground is nestled right along the Rouge River. It has great access to the river and a nice boat ramp. It’s a little small for big trailers( I did see some trailers tho) but perfect for tents. There are bathrooms available, picnic tables, and fire rings. The campground has limited space but is in a really neat spot. There are a bunch of blackberries to snack on and it is a really pretty spot. 

sweet little spot 

Very nice 

Wile road tripping to oregon from Los Angeles, we stopped here for the night. Relatively affordable, very clean, and not busy (at least while we were there). You can walk down to the river to fish, where there were also RVs camping on the beach. Tent camping is limited to very few sites but it looked like there was plenty of rv space. We set up for the night at the tent sites where we had a nice dinner with a beautiful night sky above us. The river is a good fishing spot, according to some local fisherman we met in the morning following our stay. There were bathrooms but they were locked. We had good service though. The site we chose wasn't particularly hidden or private, so anyone driving in or out of the road to the river, whether that's someone launching a boat or a ranger checking fishing licenses, they will have a full view of your entire site, something to consider if you require privacy.

Easy, convenient, peaceful

There are just 7 sites here, some tucked into the trees and some out in the open. Pick one tucked in if you can as there is a lot of traffic going thru from boaters using the ramp. It doesn’t look like you can camp on the gravel bar, so be sure to nab a site. You will need to get the bathroom code from the friendly-ish hosts.
