Sitting along the Umpqua River on BLM land managed by the Roseburg District, Tyee Recreation Site accommodates rigs up to 70 feet and includes drinking water, pit toilets, picnic tables, and ADA accessibility. The river is a draw for anglers targeting smallmouth bass and for those who want to float, though sections run fast with whitewater. Road noise is a known issue and continues through much of the night. Reservations are available and recommended, as sites book through the BLM website. Campers exploring camping near Oakland will find this one of the more developed river-access options in the area. Book ahead, especially for summer weekends.
