This is one of our favorite campgrounds - it is beautiful, and there really isn't a bad campsite in the whole campground. We appreciate that there are two camp hosts instead of just one, which gives us a measure of security. The bathrooms with showers are especially nice. There are no power or water hookups for trailers, but we are able to go three nights on battery power. The sites are very clean and nicely raked in between campers. We love the sound of the Umpqua River and the beauty of river. It is great for supervised wading, swimming, and water play for children. Within close proximity (8 mi west, approximately) is Idleyld, where there is a grocery store with deli, a gas station, and liquor store. Also, about the same distance east is Steamboat Inn, that has a fine restaurant. Day trips to numerous waterfalls, lakes, and trails abound. We love to explore other campgrounds as well, and also agree that Susan Creek is the finest.

Situated along a beautiful stretch of the North Umpqua, Susan Creek is a gem. There is a swimming hole large enough to fit several olympic sized pools, a nice trail to Susan Creek Falls and the Day Use Area, and nice level camp spots. The only down side is a portion of the campground shows signs of a recent fire, so live trees generally started around site 19 or 20. This will improve quickly.

The camp ground was clean and well cared for.
The only complaint was the camp host was like a army Sargent in the way he approached people. A little people skill would go a long way.

A once beautiful area, now struggling, as it digs its roots even deeper to recover from the Wildfire that devastated most of the surrounding acres. The park is still in pretty fair condition all things considered. There is a park host who was less than friendly and was very much a stickler about some very particular rules. God forbid, do NOT get even a tire off of the blacktop and onto the gravel, he will write you a warning! Not that he can enforce it in any way, but geez louise!
