Welcome to the river! This beautiful 10 acre property is located on the scenic main Umpqua River. Enjoy excellent, year-round fishing, kayaking, and swimming right from your private and secluded campsite.
Our property is located between 2 boat ramps which makes kayak, canoe, or raft floats a breeze. The property features beautiful, mature trees, fun bedrock to explore, and an amazing swimming hole (in the summertime when the river level is low enough). Sit at the river’s edge and enjoy the sounds of the water. Be sure to watch for soaring Eagles, jumping fish, and the occasional mink on the opposite river's edge!
There are multiple wineries nearby and lots of hiking trails within a short drive.
There is no cell service at the property - please plan ahead and check local burn ban policies before you go.
The "owners area" camping spot is a large, graveled, gated area that has trees between the road and parking. There is a port-a-potty for use in the summer months. There is also a fire pit on the lower level overlooking the river, a hidden tree swing, and deck with picnic table.
The "site 1" camping spot has a driveway that is hard-packed grass and is not gated. There is a small fire pit on the path by the river. There are areas under the trees both up top near the road and down near the path that are suitable for tents.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a fully manicured campground. There are bushes and grasses that grow year round. We do our best to keep things trimmed and accessible. Sometimes (especially in the spring) things grow more quickly than we can get to them. Please don't expect this to be a perfectly mowed, backyard-type site.
The river is incredibly beautiful and the site is a short walk from it. There are level places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. There is a pull-through so you can set your trailer up o that the door faces the river. One side is steep but manageable in a truck/suv and pulling the trailer slowly until on the road.
The site is close to the road but there wasn’t too much traffic. If you have a dog I would recommend having a fence or a long lead because people tend to drive fast on the back roads.
The only thing that was frustrating, though no fault of the owner, is that a random family decided they wanted to fish on the land for almost an entire day, which disturbed our peace and ability to go to the river.
Overall, it was a good experience and I would visit again.
Great easy access riverside campsite only an hour from home.
Kids loved the fishing and swimming and we loved that the property was gated and private!
We had three 7 yo and 2 18 mo, the seven year olds did great wondering around camp and we brought a pack n play for the younger ones.
It was wonderful camping on Jen’s land. It was peaceful, waking to the sounds of the rushing river, seeing the variety of wildlife, and enjoying an afternoon on the tire swing. You’ll want for nothing in this wonderful place. We will definitely be back!
This is such a beautiful place! If you don't mind the occasional sounds of the highway, it's just perfect. Lots of flat area for tents, a great picnic table platform that overlooks the rest of the site, and a huge private river access spot. All of us tripped a couple times climbing up and down to the table/river area so keep an eye on little kiddos. We are absolutely planning another family camping trip here... We fell in love with it!
Wow, this site and the surrounding land was absolutely AMAZING. the Umpqua river was stunning and so lovely to hang out in all day. There are different little sitting pools along the river that are sheltered from the current in the middle of the river. The site itself was clean and provided ample and appreciated shade. We saw multiple bald eagles fly right in front of us along the river and the tree line above. The table up on the wooden deck made for a perfect dinner and communal spot. The porta potty was spotless as well. Fantastic site, and Jen was was helpful and very easy to communicate with. 10/10
