This is an excellent City Park with a very nice walkway path around the lake/pond. Overnight fee for camping was $15. Great job Medford.

Nice camping in town. 16 spaces with power and water for only $15. The negative is the bathroom is a bit of a walk and no showers.

Quiet and easy going. First come first served. Bathroom is by the pool area across the street. Long walk at night if you don't know the area. Bring your kayak because you are 50 feet from the river.

30/50 amp on the west side of the street. 30/20 on the east side of the street against the river. Beautiful little city park. Empty when we got here on a Wednesday although it's on a fairly busy road which kinda sucks. Other than that it's nice. No sewer hookups but there is a restroom about 200 yards away near the pool. Restroom was surprisingly clean for a public park restroom. Sites are level a... 30/50 amp on the west side of the street. 30/20 on the east side of the street against the river.

Extend the campsites please. And they allowed "the Zinger" camper to stay all summer for construction workers. Work is done in town and was still sitting there with no sign of campers.
