Waterwheel RV Park and Campground
Overview
Waterwheel RV Park and Campground serves as a tranquil retreat nestled along the lush banks of the Williamson River in Southern Oregon. Known for its scenic beauty and access to world-class fishing, this park offers a quiet atmosphere that allows travelers to truly disconnect from the bustle of daily life. Visitors often select this location as a scenic home base while exploring the rugged volcanic landscapes and high-altitude wonders of the surrounding region.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the small town of Chiloquin, the park sits within the stunning High Desert of the Klamath Basin. The property is defined by its riverfront views and a canopy of mature trees that provide shade and privacy for campers. The surrounding wilderness is home to diverse wildlife, including bald eagles and white pelicans, creating an immersive nature experience. The quiet rural setting ensures that guests can enjoy the soothing sounds of the river under a canopy of bright stars.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is well-equipped to handle modern travelers, featuring level pull-through sites and full hookups with both 30 and 50-amp electrical service. Beyond the basics, the facility includes a laundry room, clean shower facilities, and a small shop for essentials. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the private boat dock and launch area, which provide direct access to the water for kayaking or fishing. Reliable Wi-Fi is also provided for those who need to balance remote work with their outdoor adventures.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
A major highlight for guests is the proximity to Crater Lake National Park, one of the most iconic natural wonders in the Pacific Northwest. For a different pace, travelers can visit Train Mountain Railroad Museum, which holds the record for the longest miniature hobby railroad in the world. Fishing is the primary pastime on-site, with the river being famous for trophy-sized trout, while the nearby Klamath Lake offers additional opportunities for boating, hiking, and birdwatching.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an exceptional fit for dedicated anglers and outdoor photographers seeking a peaceful, natural environment without the noise of major highways. It serves as an ideal choice for Crater Lake explorers who want to avoid the crowds inside the national park while still staying close to the action. Because of the spacious site designs and easy river access, it is particularly well-suited for retirees and families who enjoy a slower, more intentional pace of travel.

Great little spot with a nice play ground for dogs. Nice people. Our second time here. Good chance we will be back.

Such a nice peaceful well maintained campground. We had an option to choose our site and chose an electric/water site that looked out over the island and river. Though fairly close to the highway, the campground was quiet. The host was very kind and offered tips on visiting the area. The only negative was the strong iron smell to the water in the showers. Perhaps it’s due to the time of year (October?). We chose not to connect to the water supply or fill our tanks here for this reason. Overall, a very nice stay.

Great place to stay if you are fishing the Williamson River. It's right on the river with a small boat ramp. Clean bathroom with 2 showers. The RV spaces are very close to each other.

Beautiful RV park with great location and very clean. Our site looked out at the river and was so peaceful. They have two really nice dog areas for off leash. You can walk in the river or sit next to it and relax. The laundry room and showers were very nice. I would highly recommend this park.

We stopped in here for the night and didn't want to leave... The park is well maintained, is reasonably priced and is just incredibly beautiful with the river adjacent to the campsite... The great-grandchildren had a wonderful time at waters edge watching the wildlife and skimming rocks over the water. Each campsite comes with a firepit and picnic table and water and power hookups... The campground has lots of green grass area for kids to play in... The campground includes walking paths, playground for the kids, a boat ramp and a dumping station by the office and more... Each site hookups include water and power. River-front campsite went for about $50 and was well worth every dime of it... I highly recommend Waterwheel RV Park in Chiloquin, Oregon
