River Ranch Campground offers a mixed bag of experiences. Many campers appreciate the serene river access, clean facilities, and the feeling of privacy despite several campers sharing the space. However, some visitors struggled with access issues, particularly for RVs, and found the terrain less accommodating than expected. Cathryn, the host, is frequently praised for her attentiveness, enhancing the stay for many guests.

It appeared to be better than it was. Looking for a place to fish. Access was poor. Water Conditions high but very limited access. Had to set up on gravel. Hard to find a level spot. Couldn't set up near river, my rv would have sunk up to the axle. It appears dispersed camping in summer. It looks like it wouldn't be very private. Oregon state campgrounds much better value and experience.

Lovely campsite/campground. Cat was very inviting. Honestly, cleanest portapotty I have ever been in. Access to river was great and our girls loved it. Camp sites well spaced and level ground. We would definitely revisit. Thank you!!

We camped at River Ranch for my Birthday. It was a perfect Birthday! The river was beautiful, it so much fun to swim and relax by. I loved how private it felt. Campsites are open and clean . Cat was a wonderful host. I would definitely recommend her lovely land along the North Umpqua to camp at!

Camping

Very quiet and peaceful. Seen wildlife which I truly enjoy. Short walk to the river, unfortunately no place to put a chair to relax by the water, but that's ok. There was 1 other campsite that people stayed at, otherwise there was no one there which made it perfect for us. The porta potty is clean with hand sanitizer for your use. Definitely will stay here again.

Cat's campground was a winner.

We arrived in the RV around 3pm, wound our way to an area that looked level and would accommodate both our tent and the RV. We had some shade fut the weather was lovely. We pitched the tent, leveled the RV and pulled out the tackle to go fishing! And fish we did! We didn't catch anything larger than a sardine but, hey!! That takes talent! The teen boys took their inflatable kayaks out and paddled around, fished in several sites on both sides of the river and the adults had trouble getting them to come in for dinner. The evening was full of night sounds from crickets to frogs to night birds. For us it was a nice change from the routine. The port-a-pots were clean, well lit with solar lites, and they didn't smell. The turkeys wandered thru the camp site and we saw deer. The blackberries are delish this time of year and we enjoyed snacking on them. All in all, we had a great stay and would recommend to friends and family. This site is in Southern Oregon where it is more pine and scrub oak than fir. This was a nice mix of boon docking and lightly improved camping.
