Jackson Campground On the Applegate River

fabulous location, tents overlooking the river. not a very large campground, felt very safe. Flush toilets!

Nice campground. I've been there before. The host was nice, but I had a few issues. My camp-site was occupied when I arrived. The host said she never got the reservation notice. Luckily, I had a print-out of my reservation. She verified the reservation, and apologized for the mix-up. No big deal. Due to "red-flag" fire danger, no campfires were allowed. Not even a charcoal bbq grill. I've done wildland firefighting in the past, so I understood why. However. A number of other campers had campfires, and the host ignored it. I had a reservation for 4 nights. After one night, I was told that I would have to leave. And given 2-hours notice. [ this happened about 11 am in the morning.] Three of us were allowed to stay another night, provided that we left by 8 am the next morning. One the 'plus' side. I did get a refund on my reservation. I'll stay there again. The fishing is great..

Campsites and day-use area at the river were overrun with very aggressive wasps this year. (July 2021) I was bit three times in one afternoon and my partner was bit twice. The well was having issues when we were there. The water was off for a few hours the first evening and the new camp host (nice guy!) had to close the bathrooms while well water was off and again when he needed to go to town midweek. I’ve never been escorted to the bathroom by a camp host at a forest service campground; a first! We really like the campground and have been camping there for years, but are concerned it is being run down by the current concessionaires. ADA toilet in women’s restroom was closed off and completely unavailable and had been for months per camp host. Sadly, the current concessionaire seems to have no interest in fixing anything on site.

Campsite was misrepresented. I was expecting a site with full shade and a driveway long enough for my boat trailer. There was no shade and the driveway was only long enough to fit one vehicle with no trailer.

Spacious, clean, tranquil - a lovely, treed spot on the Applegate River.

Beautiful area. Be ready for poison oak along the trails.

It's a wonderful place to go camping It's sooo quite and the river was sooo clear.. nice to chill the host was a really cool man. And the bathroom was soo clean and well maintained definitely will gonna go back again next year!

Site was right next to river easy access....just had a long walk to bathrooms

Spot #2 is the best in this small, quiet campground. It is just above the river, with a trail down to a spot that isn't used by Day Use visitors. It's gorgeous out there. The camp host was personable. We will definitely camp here again.

The river was beautiful. My kids (5-16) had a lot of fun playing in both the shallow, rocky areas and the deep swimming holes. The campsites were a little small and open feeling. The flushing toilets and sinks in the bathroom were nice. One drawback was a big rusty pole right next to our table. Our daughter ran into it and cut herself pretty badly. The trash can was also sharp and rusty, and there were several large holes right around the campsite. The picnic table was also very crooked, which made it hard to sit and cook. We had a great time though, and will probably go there again.
