Union Creek Campground - Rogue River - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

Another fabulous camping experience. We loved this place.

Only 3 sites allow you to hit the trails from your site with your ATV and they have power and water too.

The campground is in the beautiful forest a short drive from Crater Lake NP. We had a site along the Rogue river, a short distance from a pebble beach that the kids loved exploring. The campground was busy and several groups were quite boisterous. The sites were semi private with trees in between, but water spouts were few and far between. The vault toilets weren’t very clean. The Union Creek resort stores were just outside the entrance, so it was easy to stay stocked on ice and grab an ice cream cone while we were at it.

Great place to relax. It was hard to find a campground with water and this campground has water. Host is a great guy and very helpful. It was not closed

Maybe I missed the campground, but I only saw about four sites down a very rutted dirt road, just the nearside of Beckies Cafe.

Not recommended for RVs over 28 feet, rough roads and sites for RVs are really not nice.

4.5 hour drive from Portland and 30 mintues from Crater lake. Very clean campsites, had access to clean water and toilet facilities. Short walk to the Rogue River gorge viewpoint then a nice hike down the river back towards the site. Plenty of places to fish.

Just like any place, be prepared for some not-so-great neighbors. It’s a gorgeous spot right on Union Creek with lots of sites. We ended up doing a last minute trip here because the Natural Bridge sites were all taken, and we snagged the last spot here. Endless hiking, and so many great spots to find on the creek that is ice cold all year! I couldn’t help but jump in :)

Stayed in campsite 86. Lots of space and foliage between campsites so that they maintained a private feel. Lots of space for social distancing. (This was particularly true of the higher numbers). 91 also appeared to be a very private waterfront site. Creek is very cold and perfectly clear. Nicest pit toilets I’ve come across in awhile— well cleaned and with hand sanitizer dispensers.

My group and I found this campground after spending a day venturing around Crater Lake National Park. Our site felt really private since we couldn't see any other campers through the dense forest. Pretty buggy the first weekend of July, so packing some bug spray is a good idea, especially if your site is next to the water. Sitting out by the creek while the sun was coming up in the morning was a definite highlight.

We had a reservation for the night at Mazama, which NPS cancelled <24 hours prior to our arrival so we were left scrambling for another place to stay. This campground was on the list of outside-of-the-park alternatives, and we were able to grab a site (one of several that were available) when we arrived around 6pm. The campsite was nice and right along the creek, the water tasted great, and it's relatively close to Crater Lake.

We really enjoyed a couple of nights here in September. The place was about half full. Quite clean and quiet, which was nice for us as tent campers. The hosts are friendly, and had firewood for sale. We were surprised that fires were allowed, so we were willing to pay abut $10 for an armload that lasted us for the evening. The sound of the Rogue River is so soothing.

It was great having the Rogue River trail run right past the campground. We checked out the Rogue Gorge trail, which is a short loop past some dramatic narrow sections of the river. We also walked down toward the Natural Bridge, which is an amazing spot where the river runs down into a lava tube and then emerges about 100 yards later.

It's also a pretty easy drive back up to Crater Lake, which also was pleasantly uncrowded. Over the course of three days, we did several hikes.

Internet and phone service are pretty much non-existent, which was fine. You can connect up around Crater Lake Lodge.

My wife and young son and I stayed at Union Creek Campground in June 2016. The campground is really well cared for and clean. There are quite a few sites that we would consider top shelf - large tent space, large campfire and table space, privacy, and view. There is a small restaurant and ice cream shop near the entrance if you need a break from roughing it. And it is a great basecamp for a day trip to Crater Lake National Park. Love this campground and will be back.
