About
Bogus Creek Campground is the westernmost Forest Service campground in Umpqua National Forest, situated in a stand of old-growth Douglas fir, cedars, and deciduous trees among many flowering shrubs and native species. Its location along the Wild & Scenic North Umpqua River makes it an ideal basecamp for outdoor recreation. The campground features 14 sites with picnic tables and fire rings on paved roads and spurs. Flush toilets, drinking water, and trash facilities are available, along with a campground host during peak season. The North Umpqua River is within walking distance, and a raft launch is conveniently located across the highway. The campground balances seclusion with easy access to Roseburg, just 35 miles west. The North Umpqua River is renowned for outstanding salmon and steelhead fishing and exhilarating whitewater rafting. The 79-mile North Umpqua Trail can be accessed from nearby Wright Creek or Mott Trailheads, and the Riverview Trail within the campground offers stunning river views. The campground sits along the Rogue-Umpqua National Scenic Byway, providing access to diverse mountain and river landscapes. Wildlife viewing opportunities include sightings of bald eagles that call the North Umpqua River home.
