Discover this secluded, fully accessible 17-site campground along the forested banks of Rock Creek where visitors can picnic, swim, or nap in the shade. Rock Creek also features a reservable day use pavilion, horseshoe pits, and a volleyball court. Rock Creek is also a great spot to see migrating and spawning salmon. Located about seven miles from the North Umpqua River corridor, this site allows easy access to the fishing, mountain biking, and hiking opportunities found in the corridor.
