About Scaredman Recreation Site

Reservations must be made 5 days prior to arrival. Disregard the "FF" (First-Come-First-Serve) availability. We do not allow on-site transactions. Off the beaten path, this minimally developed campground along Canton Creek features riverside picnic sites, drinking water spigots, and a vault restroom facility. Nearby, there are several outstanding undeveloped swimming holes along both Canton and Steamboat Creeks. Canton Creek and Steamboat Creek are closed to all angling. Just 3 miles downstream from Scaredman, the North Umpqua River offers world-class fly-fishing.
