Schroeder Park

We've stayed here before, but on the no hookup / tent side.  This time we stayed on the hookup / RV side, and it was definitely a different experience.  The no hookup side has more interesting characters staying there, it's just wide open parking spots with zero privacy or trees or shade cover, while the hookup side is nicer, has a more parklike setting with trees and an interesting layout.  The visitors on this side are more your standard travelers as well.

There is minimal privacy between sites, but it felt ok due to the trees and the layout of the sites.  The sites in the middle area are pull throughs, and there are some back-ins along the side.  There are only 3 partial hookup sites, and they are back in. The rest are full hookup.  One yurt also available, not sure of the cost.

Prices have gone up by $5 since we were here last year.  $25 for no hookups, $30 for PHU and $35 for FHU.  

*cash only*

Self check in if you have no reservations, one night at a time due to people reserving online. 

The camp host on site was really helpful and friendly. 

Showers were still available and free.

Good cell reception.  Good place to stay if you have business in Grants Pass.

Edit 5/18/2022: prices went up again since this post! Now they are $40 for FHU and $35 for PHU. $35 for FHU was kind of pushing it and $40 just feels like too much.

This county park just outside of Grants Pass along the Rogue River is a good overnighter because it is convenient and inexpensive. 

It’s $20/night for the tent/ non-hookup sites, $25 for water and electric (30 and 50 amp), and $30 for full hookup. Group camp is $60 and there’s a $5 per add’l vehicle fee. 

There’s also a yurt but we didn’t see a cost listed for it. 

The park also has FREE hot showers (trick to turn hot water on is to turn the old coin op knob). There is a boat ramp, dog park, and kid park adjacent to camping area. Park takes cash payments at kiosk near the entrance. 

The place seems to be a local’s camp as some sites looked more like homeless camps with tarps and and array of stuff laying about. We did not feel unsafe here and everyone minded their own business, were quiet and kept to themselves. The hosts do make frequent rounds throughout the park and offer firewood for sale at $5 for 10 pieces of wood. 

We stayed in our 26ft RV in the tent area as it was cheaper and less crowded and we backed up near the river. There is a lot of road noise especially from the road across the river. The roadway within the park is paved and sites are paved or gravel with grass surrounding. All sites are fairly level and have plenty of room. More trees in the hook up areas; the tent areas had few trees and was more open. Picnic tables and fire pits also at every site. We would stay here again if traveling through and needed a place for the night. We stayed here 2 nights during a weekend while waiting for an appointment in Grants Pass. 

There are dumpsters here as well as trash bins throughout the campground, but no recycling. 

Walkup sites available for that night only, or you can make online reservations 3 days in advance. 

Good cell reception with AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.
