My wife and I have had great experiences at county parks and this one under scored that. In a Sunday and Monday night in September there was only one other camper in the lower loop. Our spot by the Umpqua River was peaceful and a lovely view. Our van has solar so no hookups or noisy generator needed. A 27 hole disc golf course, rated 8th in the USA. Terrific cycling in the area. Did a very nice 63 mile loop into and out of Roseburg, then back on the north bank road. You do need to bring everything with you. The whistler bend store 4 miles away had limited supplies. Otherwise it's 16 miles into Roseburg. The only bummer was the showers ( which are free by the way) were only working at the upper camp area as they're doing maintenance on the ones at the lower camp. read more

Nice place with full hookups. Surrounded by the river, mountains and heards of deer. No cell service but Internet is accessible if you can get the password from the host. Each site is very different from each other so do your research whether upper or lower fits your needs. Sites can differ greatly with bathrooms, showers, bbq grill rings, hookups, etc. Great place for golf disc enthusiasts. Course is ranked very high in terms of course quality/layout. Yurts are also available to rent. Came here and we were the only ones here which was amazing, not sure I'd stay here if it was at full capacity and packed with people. Lots of amenities and activities to do close by. Depending on your needs, site 44 is the best location here in my opinion! Camp host was nice and courteous. read more

Just spent 3 nights there for a memorial and family reunion. We rented a 5th wheel and had it delivered. The space we rented had full hookups. The space was up on a mound, so when you stepped down from the rig, there is a steep slant till you reach flat ground. First time out of the rig my husband 78 years old fell. The camp host continued to drive back and forth creating a huge dust cloud for us to inhale and covering our vehicle. We wanted to use the Pavilion Saturday night to gather and say some words about the person we memorializing. Asked the host to turn on the lights for us. They said they didnt have keys to the box. So disappointed. The park was pretty but needs improvements at the full hookup spaces. Jan Shields read more

Positives: River floating, disc golf, trees, large sites, full hook-ups, quiet and very peaceful! Negatives: The only trash cans are a mile away, don't you dare put trash in the day use cans, lastly.....cranky pot smoking' host. I thought stoner's were easy going? read more

Enjoyed the park, the river floating right from the Day use area to the end of the lower campground. Yellow jacket traps were already in place but we ended up giving the bees a "sacrifice meal" so we could eat in relative peace for each meal. Our only reason for not giving a 5 star rating was the showers. While they are free, the spray time was literally 2 seconds before it shut off. I have long hair and after river floating it needed to be washed and you try to lather and rinse out shampoo in 2 second increments. I invite the Douglas County Commissioners to partake in the flat out exercise session of showering. I get saving on water but 2 seconds is not even enough time to rinse your face off let alone actually wet, rinse and wash without some gymnastics and hand/wrist strength. We ended up showering together so we could share the workout fun and actually get the soap and shampoo rinsed off properly. Overall the camp hosts cleaned the restrooms daily and the park was clean. read more

We reserved this park at the last minute and weren't sure what it was like, but we were pleasantly surprised. First the negatives: They charge for showers in the upper campgrounds but you can drive or walk (quite a ways over a hill) to the Lower Campground where the showers are free and very nice. I didn't go in the showers in our area so I have no report on those as far as upkeep. No TV reception, no cell service at all, so no internet. ( This is sometimes a good thing) That's about it on the negative :-) The positives: Full hook ups Some close to sites near the River. Not knowing the park, the spot I reserved was at the north/east end of the upper park and was in the sun all day and the disc golf course hole #1 was right behind our RV. We were fine and enjoyed our campfires at night with the stars. There are shady spots on the other end of the park. So it depends if you want really warm all day or really cool in the mornings & nights. All the sites in the middle have no hookups. It's actually a beautiful area and close to the North Umpqua so you can walk down in this campground or drive over to the lower one and have a beach area and boat dock. The camp host was very nice and helpful. From this park is a great way to drive up 138 and see waterfalls which we did for 2 days of our stay and just loved them. Or you can head into Roseburg for dinner, wine tasting or shopping just 15 minutes away! We will reserve this park again but camp in the opposite end of where we were. I always keep map layouts of the parks and mark good spots after we've visited. Next time we'll bring golf clubs and our kayak. *I'll add photos once my computer catches up.....ugh read more

This is a hidden gem. By the River for water fun. There is a disc golf course for those who like to play. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and have fun. read more

We stayed in August, but on a rainy weekend. I had read previous reviews that said they'd cut down a lot of trees and the campground was too open. I was worried that that meant it would be dusty and ugly, but it wasn't. I understand why they cut the trees down, what with the heavy snows the last two years and safety. But it does mean that if you're in the middle parts of the upper campground, your spot has no privacy between the one next to it. The edge spots are much nicer and you back up to the river and more trees. But the spots were otherwise good. We walked the trail along the river to the day use area and played along the river, watching a lot of people rafting by. The area could have been a little cleaner. We saw the camp hosts' spot but rarely saw them. The bathrooms were decent but we didn't use the showers, so can't attest to them. We did drive through the lower campground and personally, I think the upper one is nicer. But that depends on the type of camping you're doing. The yurts looked nice as well. We had called ahead of time to ask about having fires, and were told we could not. Upon arriving, it was clear that wasn't true. Reason for the 3 stars: the park could have been cleaner and there really wasn't much else to do. Unless you're there for floating the river or the disc golf course, you'd have to drive out to have any activities. read more

The person who runs the park called a tow truck and yelled at people all night. It ruined the trip for several groups.

We stayed here one night on a recent trip through Oregon. It is a small County campground that is situation on the beautiful North Umpqua river. My kids played in the water, panned for gold (quite a few hobbyiests there) and my husband fly fished. Absolutely beautiful and only $15 a night. The downside. they have showers, but they are only open for about 4 hours a day8am-10am and 6-8pm. The reservation (online) fee is $10. There were some campers that were staying a LONG time and their campsits showed it (let's say hoarders? with half of a houses "things" around the campsite) . No hook ups here. Oh and there is a great disc golf course I guess, if that is your thing! read more

Not a fan of this campground. We stayed in the upper campground and could not find a camp host to save our life! No firewood for sale so we had to drive back to town to buy some. It's unclear as to whether or not you have to pay day use fees at the river....you do not. The county worker we asked said they have been having problems in this regard. He asked that we just put a slip of paper with our name and site number on the dash. Also, the sites are close with no separation and very little shade. No pavement for bike riding.....just a lot of dust and dirt. Also, poison oak growing around the trees. This campground just not maintained. They don't clean between campers...our fire ring was full and garbage on the ground that we had to take care of. Also....bring a roll of quarters as showers are coin operated. Our friends used the showers and said there was no way to control temperature of water. We will definitely NOT be back. read more

Well, when we first arrived at our RV site, found toilet paper everywhere and some human waste (brown kind) on it. There were also cigarettes butts scattered and other human type garbage in the camp area. I don't know who is responsible for keeping the site clean, but it was terrible! The fire pit had not been cleaned out for some time and the rocks that surrounded it were falling. Which doesn't help regarding fire barrier. Our site however, was located next to the river and you could hear it. It was truly a highlight of the Area. If you're into disc golf, I guess this is the place to be. I don't know this sport..so I can't judge the course. I could see myself coming back here because it's a nice area in general. Looked through some of the other sites ..a possible others to choose from. Although, we loved our site because of the Riverview we might just reserve the other couple sites around this so we have more privacy LOL! read more

This park allows for rare river access for this area, the website does disclose the $4 per car parking fee or yearly pass of $30, so be sure and carpool if you care. read more
