This RV park is such a gem—peaceful, quiet, and incredibly clean throughout the entire property. There are a few lovely walking paths to enjoy, and the grassy areas are perfect for pets—our dogs had the best time rolling around and exploring.

There are a few lovely walking paths to enjoy, and the grassy areas are perfect for pets—our dogs had the best time rolling around and exploring. Each site even has its own patch of grass, which makes it feel extra cozy. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. The location is absolutely perfect—close enough for errands or shopping, but when you’re back at the park it feels like a private, quiet getaway. Best of all, it’s very pet-friendly, which made our stay even better. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

Part of the Jefferson County Park System, the Southern Oregon RV Park is located right next to the fairgrounds. The park and sites are easily accessible, it is well laid out, and there are plenty of pull-throughs for all sizes.

Plus, it is near to town where there are several breweries and wineries, lots of interesting places to visit, great places to eat, and so on. The extra bonus is the super nice people operate the place.

We stayed here for a week. Friendly staff and very clean park. Our site was level and large enough for our 4l' 5th wheel and truck. We were in Section I so didn't hear much of the highway noise. Great wifi service. Would definitely stay here again.

Dog friendly with large off leash dog park on property. Gorgeous trees and shrubs throughout park. Nicely maintained. There is a lake but not great views because of trees. When we were there in late October so it was very peaceful and quiet. Since it is right next to the fair grounds summer months could be a different story. Prices were GREAT. $45 per night, but if you book online they add $8 to price. Just FYI. We loved our stay and would definitely return.
