Situated just north of Prospect, OR, the campground is surrounded by a lush landscape of Douglas fir and white fir. The proximity to the river creates a soothing natural soundscape, while the elevation of 3,400 feet ensures cooler temperatures during the summer months.

Great place to set up camp to access crater lake and have a place to stay away from the busy park. The host, Kevin, was stellar. Would recommend.

We absolutely loved camping here! Campsite #18 is right on Rouge River. We fell asleep to the roaring sound of the river, which perfectly blocked any noise we would’ve heard from the highway or our neighbors. The location is oddly convenient. There is a country store minutes away, and plenty of attractions to check out in the surrounding area. The camp host is friendly and professional. We’d love to return to this campground in the future. Highly recommend! No cell service in the area though, so make sure to download offline maps on your phone and bring some books to read!

I booked a pull through facing a grassy center Parklike area. These good old boys two site around the circle set up multiple tents manspreading over the whole area depriving everyone of any privacy. I left early the next morning.

Great campground. No cell service and very limited internet service if you have your own hotspot. Very quiet and secluded right on the river. If that is what you are looking for this is it. No full hook ups, I fit a 38 foot RV. Decent fishing spot as well. If you are looking for a more RV friendly location there are others along the road but I like non full service locations for a few days.

This place is fantastic. The spots on the water are top notch and the host, Mel, is seriously the best. We found a first come, first served site closer to the road initially, but Mel hooked us up with a site right on the water that came available due to an early departure. She really cares about the place and it shows!
