Tyee Campground - Umpqua River

Beautiful campground. We were in site 11 and could smell the vault toilets in the evening, however the toilets were clean and did not smell when you were using them. Camp host was very friendly and informative. Highway 138 was a bit noisy.

Our stay in Tye was very pleasant .

It was one of the very hot days and being so close to the outhouse came with a very strong unpleasant smell. We could not stay the second night. Other than that the place is okay.

This turned out to be a great little campground even though when I arrived I was upset by the constant sound of the highway noise across the river. It was all I could hear when I first arrived but barely noticed it after a couple days. That crazy bird noise that Merlin won’t identify is a peacock by the way!😉

The campground is nice with walking paths and river access. However, if you want a PEACEFUL campground, this is not it. The traffic noise is so bad we barely got a good night's sleep. There is a road alongside the campground where logging trucks run up and down as early as 2 am. I was literally scared out of a deep sleep by one driving by and roaring its engines. Then across the river on the freeway trucks run up and down almost every 5 minutes, again late at night, early morning, and into the day. Then you have the campers in trailers that run their generators as early as 6:30 am and as late as 11 pm. When leaving we asked the host what the rules were for generators. He replied "I don't know. I have to look into that." So obviously they don't care nor do they enforce any Quite Hours rules.

We were camped about 4 spots down from the commode but by the second day the lovely odors were permeating our campground. They were clean as can be expected and they have fans but I assume because they were getting full the odor was bad.

We have camped there a couple times but will not return. We go to this spot to enjoy the river activities. In the future we will just go to the river for the day and for overnight camping we will go to one East of Roseburg on 138 where it is much quieter.

Pros: A nice heavily treed and small campground.
Con’s: Never saw a host. No enforcement of noise restrictions. Neighbors ran generator very early and for a long time. A few spots down someone played rap music loud and around 5 blasted the star spangled banner. Stairs to the river looked like they will fall apart soon and the concrete landing is falling to the side making it difficult to get to the ground or back up onto it. An accident waiting to happen. Fire ring had several holes….one big enough to put a baseball through. Seems like a fire hazard or injury for someone.

This has been one of my favorite places to camp. The camp hosts do SUCH a great job and the River is magical.

Always a pleasent visit. Quiet and love the river right down the hill.

Really enjoy this campground and will be back.

Perfect site ... but for the road noise. Really distracts from the get-away experience.
