About

Boulder Flat Campground is perched beside the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River in the Umpqua National Forest, offering nine intimate campsites in a lush, forested setting. The campground features paved roads and parking spurs, with all but one campsite having direct river access. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, and vault toilets are located at both ends of the campground. Popular with whitewater rafting enthusiasts, the campground includes a concrete raft launch at the east end with changing rooms constructed in 2011. The North Umpqua River provides world-class trout fishing opportunities, while nearby trailheads offer access to the 79-mile North Umpqua Trail and Boulder Creek Trail #1552, which explores the Boulder Creek Wilderness. Day-use parking accommodates boat trailers up to 24 feet, and overflow parking is available via a highway turnout. The campground sits within the diverse ecosystems of southwestern Oregon's volcanic landscape, where explosive geologic events have created spectacular scenery. From thundering waterfalls like nearby Watson Falls and Toketee Falls to high mountain lakes such as Twin Lakes, the area offers exceptional hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife viewing. The Rogue-Umpqua National Scenic Byway provides access to this remarkable region.
