Tyee Campground - Umpqua River

Shady, clean, close to the river. Quite a bit of highway noise but, not as bad at night. RV sites are pretty level. Minimal blocking. Only complaint- camp host is lazy and unfriendly. Really nice camp.

great spot.
a little off the beaten path, but worth it.
as a rv traveler,, would 'love' electric hookup. AND a Dump Station.

We first visited in 2020 in our 22' Class B, but Tyee was closed due to CoViD lock down. Traffic along the 138 was almost non-existent. Not so today with many logging and big rig trucks along 138. City dwellers might not notice, but country folks might.

The parking sites are nowhere near level, so you will need extensive leveling capability in an RV or trailer. The sites are rated for 52 feet, but about 15 feet of that is not parking. We had to park our Chevy Spark sideways to fit behind our 32' Class A. Sites 1-10 are on a loop which is difficult to navigate with anything longer than about 25 feet.

Site is well maintained and the staff are friendly and helpful. No mobile service to speak of. OTOH, it's nice to be unreachable.

A beautiful spot with easy river access. Quite, clean sites with nice spacing and a friendly unobtrusive camp host. We will definitely be back.

The campground smelled like rotting carcass. I am not exaggerating. Truly, we looked for something dead in the nearby bushes. It was AWFUL. Additionally, there was a sign that said the toilets were not being cleaned to OR Health standards. Be aware, “should you CHOOSE to use them.” What choice did we have? What did this even mean? What standards were not held, and how might it affect our health? We had no idea, nor real choice. Additionally, there were rats around our campground in the evening and food/garbage dumped over the fence into the shrubs. Absolutely disgusting overall, and I’m glad we only planned to be there for one night.

The restaurant nearby had beer to go but no ice for sale fyi

River access is quite treacherous in spots due to what appears to be high-water erosion damage from some years ago. Possibly due to the high water as well, there is quite a bit of garbage in the trees between the campsites and the river. Also, our first day there they had no firewood. We had to go into Roseburg to find firewood for sale.

I used to come here all the time when I was a kid. Hadn’t been in 10 years, and it’s still as wonderful as I remember. Spacious camp sites and right on the river, what more could you ask for? :)

We stayed in site 2, have a 30’ trailer, the cement pad is bumpy and it was difficult to level the trailer. There is an over powering smell of feces next too bathrooms (pit toilets), and we could also smell it along the road by our site. Rats are everywhere at night. The stairs are dangerous to walk down to the river. River is full of algae on the banks, so if you want to swim you have to swim out where the current is strong. Camp hosts never came by. I gave it three stars because it is a quiet campground, sites are not too close to each other and other sites looked level compared to site 002.
