Forest primeval!

We're stayed two nights at this campsite. It appears to be a defunct campground from the 1940's from the look of the now-crumbling fire pits. There is also evidence of a restroom. However, having zero services does not make your stay here any less amazing (if you don't mind pooping in the woods...lol!) There is a lot of fallen dead wood for your fire. The sites are well-spaced and easy to access with a mid-sized trailer. We pull a tiny Scamp behind a Dodge Ram. At least three of the seven (?) sites are above the river but there is not "easy" access (short, steep trails). The area is full of OHV trails and there's plenty of easy hiking around the site. We would go there again in a heart-beat for the seclusion and the beautiful setting even though we got rained out on the third day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amenities are available at Hamaker Campground?

Hamaker Campground offers extremely primitive camping with virtually no amenities. The site features old, crumbling fire pits from its days as an active campground in the 1940s, and there's evidence of where restroom facilities once stood. Currently, there are no services available - no potable water, no maintained restrooms, no trash collection, and no hookups. Campers must be fully self-sufficient and prepared to practice proper leave-no-trace principles, including managing human waste appropriately in the woods.

Where is Hamaker Campground located in Oregon?

Hamaker Campground is located in the Rogue River National Forest in southern Oregon. This historic campground appears to be a defunct site dating back to the 1940s. While it's no longer an officially maintained campground, it sits within the beautiful Rogue River region, offering a rustic and secluded camping experience for those seeking to connect with nature away from developed facilities.

Is there mobile reception at Hamaker Campground near Rogue River?

Mobile reception at Hamaker Campground is likely very limited or nonexistent due to its remote location in the Rogue River National Forest. The area's rugged terrain and forest cover typically interfere with cellular signals. Visitors should plan to be completely disconnected during their stay and make any necessary communications before arriving. For safety, consider bringing alternative communication devices like a satellite phone or personal locator beacon if staying for an extended period.
