Group Camping

Just got home Wednesday afternoon from a 4-day/3-night encampment with a few of our family & friends. We had the opportunity to rent the entire camping section. All the spaces are very nice and spacious, we managed several 5th wheelers and a couple tents. The spaces are all very level. There's a huge picnic table at each one, as well as big fire pits. Paths are clearly marked and most are paved.... Just got home Wednesday afternoon from a 4-day/3-night encampment with a few of our family & friends. We had the opportunity to rent the entire camping section. All the spaces are very nice and spacious, we managed several 5th wheelers and a couple tents. The spaces are all very level. There's a huge picnic table at each one, as well as big fire pits. Paths are clearly marked and most are paved. You can bring wood or purchase it there in standard bundles for $5 each. The restrooms are well kept with twice daily check-ins by the on-site caretakers/owners. We were able to close the gate to avoid confusion with other day time folks hitting the river, and secure us a bit at night. That was one of my favorite aspects, the privacy. It's not too far into town either. But just far enough! It's slightly tricky accessing the river. But there IS clear signage. And the view!! Bring your water safety gear, water level varies throughout the season, and there is fish to be had! Love mountain rivers! We saw several critters and heard lots of bird calls. There had been a cougar sighting a couple days previous to our arrival, we saw no signs of one. However, we did see a trio of large vultures gliding very low during lunch time each day. It's also hot there this week & fire season, so it may not be their normal area. The tall trees and seemingly constant breeze was welcome! There also several water spickets thoughout the camping area. There's a modern pavilion, horseshoe pits at the far end of the camping area. And are at least two sets of restrooms (not plumbed, more modern outhouse style) in the camping section. The drive in from I-5 is pleasant. The site sits squeezed between Highway 138 and the bank of the Umpqua River. It's perfect! And we got lucky, the water wasn't too cool! Well for sure try to rent it again sometime!
