About
Cover Campground is a small, seven-site campground located along Jackson Creek in the Umpqua National Forest, shaded by a mature stand of Douglas fir. At an elevation of 1,700 feet, the campground offers a mild climate and generally remains snow-free throughout winter months. The campground is known for its quick access to local swimming spots in Jackson Creek and provides beautiful views of the creek throughout the year. Spring visitors can enjoy the sight of butterflies flying along the creek shores, adding to the natural beauty of the area. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with basic amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits at each site. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. Cover Campground is accessed via Forest Road 29 (Jackson Creek Road) and can accommodate vehicles up to 22 feet in length. The remote location along Jackson Creek makes it an ideal spot for campers seeking a quiet, natural setting with opportunities for swimming, hiking, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the Umpqua National Forest.
