About
Carberry Group Campground is nestled along Cougar Creek in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, offering creekside camping with nearby access to Applegate Lake.

Site sizes vary, with smaller intimate locations adjacent to Cougar Creek providing a more secluded experience. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. There is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. Garbage disposal is provided during the operating season. The facility features wheelchair-accessible trails and amenities. Dogs are welcome but must remain on leash. The campground is open year-round, though during the off-season it operates as a walk-in site with no services and the gate remains locked.
