Tyee Campground - Umpqua River

Fairly small CG, so not too crowded or noisy. Many tent sites are right by the river (at a higher ground) with easy access to the river, although some parts of the hiking trail along the river are not well maintained. Nice, shallow, pretty river to get in and play; evidently good for fishing. Tent sites are spacious/clean/flat and mostly surrounded by bushes for privacy. But, for large/long RVs, limited space to maneuver backing in. Lots of water spigots, clean vault toilets.

I have been visiting Tyee campground for the past 8 years. I have always found the campground a safe, clean and well maintained. The bathrooms deserve recognition for being the best smelling vault toilets I have ever experienced. Clean bathrooms every single visit.

I valued previous camp hosts and find the new camp host Erich to be engaging, helpful and informative. Erich was busy the entire four days I was camping. It is obvious he takes pride in his work.

Sites are very large and many would accommodate a large motorhome or RV. Fire pits are my favorite as they are great for cooking. I appreciate the way the sites have an area for setting up a tent. Most sites are level with the exception of #2. I would suggest #2 only suitable for tent camping.

There is wi-fi available at the host site. They are user friendly for you to use the internet to reserve sites or extend your stay.
Water is conveniently located as are garbage bins.

Several trails to the river make for a great picture taking opportunity.

Site numbers in the teens are crammed together in an odd cul-de-sac style. It's fine if you are camping with other groups, but a little tight for strangers.

Poison Oak grows rampant. It's everywhere. If you're sensitive to it, walk carefully in the center of all paved paths and keep dogs on a very short leash.

The river has a permanent advisory for toxic blue-green algae. So while everything looks lovely, the hazards kind of hamper your enjoyment of it all.

The campsites were clean and well cared for. The restrooms were clean and odor free. The camp host was very knowledgeable and helpful. The only downside to camping there was the highway traffic during the day.

We loved this campground. It's beautiful with lots of wildlife to view along the river. It's also clean and well maintained and the host is friendly and helpful. The only downside for me is that it is located between two busy roads so there's truck and traffic noise.

Nice campground. It was well maintained and right on the river. Sites are good, and have a place to set up your tent. The spots are very close one another and I felt I had to whisper after 8pm. No boat launch here, but the river was pretty. The mosquitoes were out in force in the evening. I won't be back and just stick to back country camping....

Peaceful place, would visit again. Lots of trails down to river.

In the forest by the river. Nice hiking trail to stretch your legs.

Tyee is a nice little campground right next to the Umpqua River. It is best to time your visit around the pumping of the septic tanks which is hard to do since you won't know they are past due until you get there which was the case on our recent trip. Sites 8 & 9 are the closest to the pit toilet. Spot #1 is for 1 car or van and has a tent area. There is 1 restaurant about 1/2 mile away called Tyee Landing, nice hamburgers and outside seating. They also have ice. There hasn't been any firewood available in the park for several months. The camp hosts are very nice. spots 11 - 15 are closed during the winter, check the website. spot 11 can be a little stinky. There is a nice group shelter that has a sink for dish washing. There are several trails that end right on the river. There is a wifi hotspot right near the host's rig. Day use has been free .

Host and grounds were amazing. View of the river was nice also.
