    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.

      Eagle Ridge Park

      MTB and Duck Hunting

      This campground is 4 miles from the highway down a well maintained dirt road. You’ll pass Spence Mountain MTB trails and a big gravel parking lot for bikers. There’s only about 5 legit spots but there’s several dispersed areas before and after the actual campground. There’s a vault toilet and a water pump and trash cans. I arrived on Friday of Columbus Day weekend. Duck hunting season opened the next morning and the area was busy with hunters and boats and a lot of shooting at daybreak. By Monday almost all had departed. The biking trails are incredible.

      Thousand Springs Sno-Park

      Excellent spot

      Great location for dispersed camping. The parking lot is large and can accommodate rigs of any size. It's about 30 minutes to the park entrance and there are vault toilets on site. Stay up to 14 days.

      Rocky Riffle

      Large free area. Warning

      This is a very unique site. Looks as if mostly used for logging. Long narrow roads, that weave like a maze. Not a lot of spots. As they're no sites. Did find a big clearing at the end of the road to the left when entering. Road to right was blocked by a broken down dump truck. So couldn't tell you about that side. Others have mentioned homeless encampments and not so friendly people. As of Oct 2026 area was very clean and nobody living there. Roads are very narrow and some are a bit rocky. Not a place for a 5th wheel or regular car ( may ground out on high rocks in road) river access is easy. But in October no flow so a big swamp.

      Ennis Riffle County Park

      Large and open, not free

      Very large open area along the river. Pick a spot and enjoy. No water or electricity. Pack out your trash. $5 per vehicle

      Jackson Campground On The Applegate River

      Quiet and great location

      The campground sits right on the river and even though it is near the road, there is not much traffic. At night it was super quiet. The camp host was friendly and the bathrooms were clean and there is a nice trail along the river.

      Tree Of Heaven Campground

      The Boondock

      It's a beautiful camp, but there is a conflict between their (gov run) website information and in park board. Some sights are first come first serve, but some can be reserved online, but aren't marked, so there can be a reservation for a first come first serve spot. I've been there three times, the last wasn't bad, but twice the above issues caused inconvenience to my camp. Still a beautiful place, though

      Mr. Bigfoot RV Park

      Excellent RV Park

      Can’t say enough about this little gem of an RV park. Super clean, all brand new amenities. Paved, level back-in and pull-thru sites with full hook-ups. Pool and laundry facilities. Staff was super attentive and seemed to be always out cleaning. It was so nice to have a place for our dogs to relax in the grass right at our site. They even have two “dog sites” that have chain link enclosed areas to relax off leash. The only downside is a lack of mature trees for shade since the park is so new. That will change as the ones they have planted mature.

      Rocky Point Resort

      Beautiful view

      Park is a little funky, old, and a bit rundown., But our space was right on the lake and we had a beautiful view of all kinds of birds. Scott, the park manager was super nice and accommodating. Showers and bathrooms were pretty dirty and you had to pay to take a shower. There is a little store on site where you can purchase minimal food and drinks. Also a restaurant that we did not go to, as it was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is when we were there. Sites were a bit funky to get into and our site was having a little issue with the electric. Also not very level. I give it a four stars because of the view and quietness.
