About

Flumet Flat Group Campground sits in a large meadow along the Applegate River corridor in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The site is designed for group events such as family reunions, church camps, school field trips, and scouting activities. The entire campground must be reserved as a single unit and features individual spurs for tents and trailers on a paved surface, along with picnic tables and Forest Service-approved campfire rings. The campground has a vault toilet and garbage collection but no potable water or electricity. Campers must bring all drinking water. The gate is locked; a combination is provided in the reservation confirmation. Nearby recreation includes swimming and fishing on the Applegate River, and the Gin Lin National Recreation Trail offers a 3/4-mile self-guided loop exploring 19th century mining history. The area is known for spring wildflowers but also rattlesnakes, ticks, and poison oak. Applegate Lake lies north of the campground and offers boating, swimming, and year-round fishing. The Red Buttes Wilderness is accessible to the south. The Mule Mountain Trail provides long-distance hiking through the Oregon Siskiyous with views of Applegate Valley.
