Susan Creek Campground

We booked this campground as a stop on our journey eastward from the Oregon Coast and quickly realized this could be a destination!

This reservation only BLM campground has pristinely clean hot showers, potable water, flush toilets, large campsites with grills, tables and fire pits (non electric and no dump station). We truly were impressed with it and our fantastic hosts! A 10 out of 10 for us!!

The river runs behind the campground and there are trails from it around the area and to Susan Creek Falls.

Our 48’ total TT and Truck fit easily in the HUGE site (18) with room to spare. We are not a tall rig so not sure about taller ones…we just wish we’d booked more than one night!

Way behind in posting reviews... we stayed here for 3 nights in June of 2022. Our nightly rate was averaged with our senior discount and any reservation fee. Site #7 was beautiful and large! Our truck is long & our trailer is les than 22' - seems several of the sites would be tight (although we saw a couple of large RVs). Definitely check the sites lengths. Great place to base from to go see some of the beautiful waterfalls along this highway. Including a video on the campground - click the video link https://youtu.be/Bp58EJFJzp0

The other reviews did not oversell this place. Each site is clean and groomed, the cleanest I've seen. Paved driveways and paved camping pads.

Located in an old growth forest, it is very quiet yet not far off the road. We were just passing through but it would make a great base to explore the surrounding mountains. Our site, 18, was easy for us to get our 5th wheel in.

Needed a spot to stay with our big trailer overnight and this lovely little campground had a few spots that we could get our 34 ft 5th wheel into. Reservations are currently only online and we were able to find a spot long enough. Site 18 is one of the easiest to get into with a long rig. Campsite was beautiful and one of the nicest BLM parks we have ever stayed in. Beautiful bathrooms with free clean showers. Sites are nicely separated and nice trails to walk along the river.

This is a great little campground worthy of a several night stay. The paved pads are pretty level and the sites, while fairly close together, are large and shaded. The campground is impeccably groomed.

Bonus points for FREE hot showers in a clean bathhouse!

We stayed in site 23 and loved it as it had a trail down to the river. Neighboring sites 22,24,25 were equally as nice.

Another bonus for us were the ample, well groomed trails for walking our dogs. You can access the day use area, Tioga Bridge, and Susan Creek Falls from the campground. We did come across two trails that were closed as a result of the fire damage, but there were plenty of opportunities to stretch your legs.

While the surrounding area took a fairly big hit from the fire in 2020 (including the falls area), the campground was relative unscathed.

Road noise was minimally evident during the day, but almost non existent at night.

Our only con was the fact that a few somewhat sketchy individuals cruised through the campground repeatedly during the day.

We stayed in site 10 for one night. Class A, 38’, towing Jeep. This is a fantastic BLM campground. Sites were wide, level, well maintained. Camp hosts onsite in summer. Now reservation only. Picnic tables, fire rings at each site. Firewood available for purchase. Water available. Bathhouse with shower available. Heavily shaded (which made our solar recharge a challenge but fine for one night). At 38’, we barely fit in our site (our site fit up to a 40’ so accurately sized on Recreation.gov) so bigger rigs need to be careful. No Verizon or TMobile service. Near trails, river and right off 138. Just a beautiful place and would stay here again.

Stayed two nights in site number 18. The camp hosts were very friendly and keep the site meticulously clean (like a Zen garden). Campground is sandwiched between the highway and the river, but there was no road noise to speak of. Level paved parking pad as well as space for tents, big picnic table, fire pit, separate BBQ. Beautiful river with trails, easy hike to beautiful Susan Creek Falls. Lots of families on the weekends. Bathrooms were open despite COVID, and were kept spotless.

We arrived just after dark when we had no idea where we would land for the night and were pleasantly surprised. Level, paved sites that are very spacious. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring, and bbq. Privacy is due to many mature trees throughout. Exceptionally clean bathrooms with flush toilets, soap and hand sanitizer. Didn’t check out the showers but I would assume they are in the same condition. Firewood available for a reasonable $6 per bundle. Our site (13) didn’t have hookups and maybe I did not see that others did (another reviewer mentioned them) but at $20 ($10 with senior lifetime pass), this place is a good deal. Pretty much non-existent cell service. We fell asleep to the sounds of the rushing North Umpqua River. Small amphitheater and horseshoe pits, along with several trails. Very quiet on a Tuesday the week before Memorial Day but I imagine it would be very different at the height of the summer with rafting and fishing.

Large, private campsites in forest of huge Douglas fir near a creek. Beautifully clean sites raked in a zen-like pattern. Bath house is timber-style with individual tiled shower rooms, each entered from outside with its own door. Very, very clean as well. We had a long back-in site, didn’t notice any pull-throughs. Our 27’ trailer was fine but I would not recommend trying a large motor home, the huge trees are close to the winding roads through the campground.
