Union Creek Campground

Lots of really good hikes, waterfalls, but cold water if you want to swim.

Easy hikes

Specious spots, beautiful in the fall. Awesome little waterfall.

Beautiful 

This is a beautiful, clean campground. Tons of undergrowth which makes for very private spots. Spots along Union Creek are great, spots on the river are great, even the spots in the open aren’t bad amongst the towering trees. No showers or sinks, be ready for that.

Beautiful sites along the river 

Strolled in on a Thursday eve and got a tent site w/o issue. Amenities as listed are accurate: flush toilets, drinking water, no showers. Water level in reservoir was very low (early-Sept.) We had no mosquitos - mega bonus. 

Recommended. RV/Boat Focused, but good tent sites. 

Nice campground on the Upper Rouge River at the base of Crater Lake. Some sites on the outer loop don't look that great but the sites by the river and creek are pretty good. Running water at some sites but not others, so you may have other campers coming to your site to get water if you have a water site. Nice river attractions nearby upriver and downriver. Good variety of site sizes.

Nice campground near Crater Lake

Loved this campground. Tons of spots to choose from. We got spots 46 and 47 no other campers by use tons of room to park our camper. Also bathroom was across the road from our spot. We were 30 mins from crater lake  11 miles from the town of prospect. Definitely will be coming back! 

Perfect spot!

Nice and secluded we fit lots of people here had water. 

Large spots

Loved the campground. Little spendy @ 22 a night &amp; 10 a night for extra vehicle, but the bathrooms were super clean and not fly infested for vault toilets. Lots of sites are creekside, ours was one. Tons of exploring opportunities. Sites vary in size from single small tent sites to large/ group size sites. Upper Rogue River Trail is right by the campground. Short walk to Union Creek store, cafe, and ice cream shop.

Large campground with creekside sites

Enjoyed a last sunny weekend home at this campground. I am a tent camper and enjoyed the weekend. Quite and clean. Alot of spaces for larger groups and elbow room between most spaces. 

Enjoyed the quiet night 

Access to lake very large boat ramp and docking,  

Great little place 

Took a day trip up here a couple years ago during the winter. Absolutely beautiful with the creek and snow. Just a short drive from Medford. Be sure and stop at Mac’s diner in Shady Cove. Great food right on the bank of the Rogue River...

Gotta Love Southern Oregon

May 17-26, 2019 Very nice campground. Site C6 walk-up site had electric and water. Park has dump station, Restrooms had flush toilets but no hot water and no showers. Elevation 4,097. Verizon had 2 bars 4G.  Address: 17564 Sumpter Stage Highway, Baker City Oregon 97814. Hike 16 mile trail around the lake. Legally sale cannibus in Sumpter - 10 miles from the park. Enjoyed D&amp;J Taco Shop restaurant downtown. No sales tax in Oregon.

We went late in the year and it was very quiet. Clean, low traffic. Based on size of day use area it looks like the lake is probably busy during the summer. Nearby Sumpter is a neat little town with lots of history. Be sure to tour the Dredge. 

Nice and Quiet

Super clean. Great camp host and only $17 with my National Park Pass. Full hookups

So pretty with forest and lake views

Nice clean campground.
Sites are spaced apart, so pretty private. Lots of hiking trails along creek and the rogue river. Cafe and store near by. 

Camped here on a bike trip (as with many of my other adventures). Not very dense in the green department. This was a nice departure from the campgrounds in the Oregon Cascades. A little more arid and desert-y. Some raccoons got into our panniers, though!

  

Smoky Bear greets you at the entrance. Don't forget to say Hi!

Beautiful Eastern Oregon Spot

Nice spots, with a lot of space between sites. Camp host are very nice and friendly. Water in the lake is way down, lowest it has been in 50+ years. Water and electric price, $27.
