The Medford region in southern Oregon encompasses a variety of campground options ranging from full-service RV parks to more basic tent sites. Valley of the Rogue State Park, located near Gold Hill, provides year-round camping accommodations including tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, yurts, and glamping options. Several privately owned campgrounds like Southern Oregon RV Park and Holiday RV Park offer convenient access to Interstate 5, while public lands in higher elevations, such as Mount Ashland Campground, provide more rustic experiences. Jackson Wellsprings and Emigrant Lake Recreation Area round out the diverse selection of developed campgrounds that support various camping styles.
Seasonal considerations affect camping experiences throughout the region, with summer bringing warmer temperatures and higher visitor numbers to most campgrounds. Most developed sites in the Medford area remain open year-round, though facilities like showers may be limited during winter months. Many campgrounds require reservations, particularly during peak summer season when popular sites fill quickly. The area experiences hot, dry summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F, while winters bring cooler temperatures and occasional snow at higher elevations like Mount Ashland. Water access varies significantly between locations, with Emigrant Lake Recreation Area offering boat-in camping options. According to one visitor, "The sites are level and have grass and fire pits. There is a walking bike trail that goes along Bear Creek to Ashland."
Southern Oregon RV Park receives consistently high ratings for its well-maintained facilities and convenient location. Visitors appreciate the concrete pads, fire pits, and accessible amenities. The property features fishing ponds and walking trails, though some reviewers note significant highway noise due to proximity to Interstate 5. Holiday RV Park offers a creek-side setting that campers enjoy, with one reviewer noting it provides "a beautiful little river that runs through the property making the spot a beautiful place to stop." Several campgrounds provide swimming pools during summer months, which proves popular with families. Mount Ashland Campground stands out as one of the few free camping options in the region, offering primitive sites with vault toilets but no drinking water, making it suitable for self-contained camping setups.
"Great RV sites that are close to the River with FHU’s. Hiking paths border the river and connect the many camping loops. Stayed in loop B which has back-in’s and drive throughs."
"Do Not let the close proximity to I-5 keep you from staying here. We are on B loop and while outside the traffic noise is audible, it gets lost in the wind through the trees."

Fairly tight RV camping but nice facilities and staff plus access to the Rogue River.
About 4 spots in this area. Dirt road continues but I did not cross bridge. Very quite. I was here 2 nights. One sprinter van came for 1 night. Not enough sun for solar charge. Had to move Starlink away from campsite to get signal away from trees. Very relaxing and would stay again. 10 miles, 25 minutes from Crater Lake
They have tent camping, full hookup sites, and cabins. You can rent water toys. There’s lots of people playing in the water. They have music and movies on the weekends in the summer. We had a good lunch from the restaurant. We will definitely be back.
We loved this spot. We went down the road further, which looked like we wouldn’t make it at first but we did fine with our 33ft fifth wheel. We didn’t see any other traffic and had a nice open spot. Tons of trees and 10 miles to the park entrance.
This is one of my favorite places on the planet. Excellent views, lots of wildflowers, life-affirming sunrises and sunsets. The PCT runs by just below the campground. I was there this past weekend, and while I saw a lot of folks driving through (to the summit, to Grouse Gap, maybe to other destinations), there were few people camping. Vault toilets were clean and well stocked. Weather was good.
We pulled in on a Sunday night to find only one other camper. It filled in with three more by sundown, but it was absolutely peaceful. It’s late July and 94 degrees, but a breeze was blowing and made things comfortable. By midnight I needed a blanket.
Pit toilets, multiple water faucets, trash and recycling bins, campground clean! Spacious, paved sites with picnic tables.
Steep entry road in, but no problem in a van.
Beautiful Klamath River is rushing by the campground. We would definitely return here again.
I use full hookups in between boondocking, usually in and out with not a lot of time exploring. This time was different: I took advantage of the trails to explore the lake and Rogue River (took a lovely dip!) as well as using the well appointed facilities. And one evening I followed the local map provided by the office to take a hike across the road, just outside of prospect; it was gorgeous. If you go, check out the big boulder area. WiFi wasn’t the best and satellite was spotty because of the ponderosas; dang trees ;)
Beautiful flat campsites. Birds singing, ants hunting, Bigfoot lurking.... you know, the good stuff.
