Bogus Creek Campground

Bogus Creek Campground is situated in a stand of old growth Douglas fir, cedars, and deciduous trees, among many flowering shrubs and native species. Its proximity to the Wild & Scenic North Umpqua River makes this campground the perfect get away. The campground is in a prime location to participate in many outdoor endeavors such as hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting. If nature photography or wildlife viewing is your passion, you will be in no better place to capture Mother Nature's splendor through your lens, or to sit along the river to see the flight of the majestic bald eagles that call the North Umpqua home. The river, just across the highway from the campground, is renowned for outstanding salmon and steelhead fishing and exhilarating whitewater challenges, and river access is made easy with a raft launch located across from the campground. This 14 site campground offers potable water, accessible flush toilets and hand washing sinks. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, and some sites offer a barbeque grill. Roads and spurs in this campground are paved, trash facilities are available within the campground, and access to the North Umpqua River is within walking distance. A campground host is on site during peak season. Visitors to the Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. Explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the nearly 1 million-acre forest, and provide spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. The translation of the word "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines the area: high mountain lakes, heart stopping rapids, peaceful ponds and thundering waterfalls, including the beautiful Toketee Falls. The popular 79 mile North Umpqua Trail is nearby and can be accessed easily from the campground at the Wright Creek or Mott Trailheads, and within the campground you can walk along the Riverview Trail and treat yourself to amazing views of the river. Opportunities for mountain biking and whitewater rafting are within 10 miles. The campground sits along the route of the Rogue-Umpqua National Scenic Byway, 172 miles of diverse river and mountain landscapes traversing the Umpqua and Rogue River valleys, from rolling oak covered hills and towering coniferous forests to roaring white water rapids and incised inter-canyon lava flows.
