All of my issues could have been solved with a map online. Booked the group site for 2 cars and 3 people. Turns out the group site doesn’t have it’s own parking spaces, it’s just the day use parking lot. The site itself looked nice, but my group all camps out of our vehicles. So essentially I paid for a really expensive parking spot on a lot. There was nice riverfront access with picnic tables on the bank. The whole river had a brown film and odor when we were there in November. There was full service for AT&T and Sprint, so that was nice. It is less than 10 minutes to Applegate Reservoir.
It’s ridiculous that there is no map of the sites. Even at the campground there was no map.

We stayed at the group site 1 for the 4th July weekend for three nights. This was a great campsite for our group. The location was great, by the river so we could just hop into the river for water activities. The bathrooms were kept clean. The camp host, Phil was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our time here. We will be back again in the future.

The new camp host, Phil is doing such a great job of keeping the place nice! Bathrooms were mopped and stocked, they even had soap for the first time in years! Makes a huge difference to have someone that takes the time to not just welcome everyone but make the place welcoming as well!

Easily accessible campground. Picnic tables and campground road are somewhat tired. Few vehicles on the roads, quiet. Wooded setting close enough to Applegate River to hear soothing riffles. Very nice bathroom: clean, spacious, overhead heat. Some trails that petered out.

Wonderful small campground next to the Applegate River. About half the sites have views of the river, but there are nice, easy to follow river paths available to all. I found the host to be pleasant and very helpful.

- This is a USFS facility, operated under a special-use permit by Aztoor LLC. All inquiries should be directed to: www.applegatelake.com, which also has direct contact information for email & phone.

- Don't Move Firewood: Please protect Pacific Northwest forests by preventing the spread of invasive species. Firewood can carry insects and diseases that can threaten the health of our western forests. You can make a difference by obtaining and burning your firewood near your camping destination. Visit Dontmovefirewood.org for further information.
- Cancellations: Recreation.gov collects an $8 reservation fee, which is non-refundable. The campsite cancellation fee is a flat $10 for your entire reservation. EXAMPLE: if you booked (2) nites at $30 per nite, your total camping fee would be $68. If you cancelled at least 48-hours prior to your reservation arrival, your refund would be: $68-$8-$10 = $50 net refund. If you late cancel (within 48-hr of your arrival), you will also forfeit the first-nite camping fee. In this same example, you would be refunded: $68-$8-$10-$30 = $20 net refund. Processing refunds is time-consuming & expensive for the facility, and we potentially will not refill your camping spot. This loses revenue for the facility due to your situation & circumstances changing. The Facility is NOT responsible for acts of God / weather / fire-restrictions / smoke / or other things outside the control of the facility. Thanks for your understanding.
