About
Apple Creek Campground is a small, primitive campground with seven sites situated on the banks of the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River, at the scenic confluence of Apple and Panther Creeks. The riverside setting provides a peaceful atmosphere with the sounds of flowing water and excellent fishing access. This first-come, first-served campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables at each site, and fire rings for campfires when conditions allow. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. The campground is well-suited for tent camping and smaller rigs seeking a quiet riverside experience. Anglers will appreciate the diverse fishing opportunities, with deep pools and steady riffles providing easy access to wade-able areas along the North Umpqua River, known for its steelhead and trout populations.
Directions
From Roseburg, take OR-138 E approximately 16 miles to the town of Glide. From the North Umpqua Ranger Station in Glide, continue east on Highway 138 for 28 miles. Apple Creek Campground is located on the right side of the highway.
