    Sunset Campground at Lake of the Woods

    Great national forest campground

    Almost all the pads are paved. Bathrooms are flush and kept very clean. Large well separated sites. Most sites are reserved but mid week (Wednesday) on 9/3 most of the FCFS were open at check in.

    Fourmile Lake Campground

    Lovely Lake Views

    Great campground and excellent camp host. Just off hwy 140, take the dirt road for about 7-8 miles to the campground. The lake is clear and pristine, views for days. Not really a bad campsite. Pit toilets, no showers, no WiFi but Star Link works of course. Trails to hike, kayak, fish, boat.

    Jackson County Howard Prairie Lake Resort

    One of my Favs

    Great location, many sites are right on this gorgeous lake. Boat slips and ramps, kayak and paddle. Awesome trail along the lake. Super well maintained, clean, water, electric hook ups and dump station. A little resort with food. Boat and kayak rentals. A quiet sleep in the trees.

    Laughing Alpaca Campground

    Quirky and cute

    This place is definitely charming. It has its own alpaca pasture and management is very nice! Everyone here was nice and our spot on the river was cool. We saw river otters! Only thing I didn’t love about this place is there was no change machine for laundry and there were no locks on the stalls in the bathroom which was a little weird to me.

    Mazama Village Campground — Crater Lake National Park

    Check even if sign says full

    We came with no reservation in the summer. The sign outside registration office said that campground was full. We still asked if there were sites available, and there were! People books sites and don’t show up.

    Wolf Creek Park

    Wolf creek

    We had a nice time at this campground. There was a playground our toddler enjoyed, and we were very grateful it was about 20 degrees cooler than grants pass which was 100 degrees at 6pm.

    The sites by the river and backed up to the woods are nice.

    It was pretty empty when we stayed there

    Burma Pond BLM

    Nice, not far from I5

    Quiet spot not far from I5. No noise at all, just the wind in the trees and bullfrogs. There are defined spots with a vault toilet next door. The spots are VERY close together, 10 to 20 feet apart. All of the spots are right on the edge of the water. Spots are small but room for a single vehicle or van at each. We had the place to ourselves on a random Wednesday in August. Tons of blackberries growing wild along the waters edge.

    Road in from I5 isn’t bad, well maintained gravel with a few large potholes. GPS via Apple and Google wanted me to go on a rarely used and overgrown forest road to get here, I recommend using GPS to get in the general area then look at the map to manually navigate the last half mile or so.

    Starlink mini had decent reception for being hard mounted to my roof. Cell service is basically non-existent, one bar of LTE every now and then.
