About

Island Campground is a small, intimate campground situated right off Highway 138 along the scenic North Umpqua River in the Umpqua National Forest. With only seven campsites, this campground offers a quiet, shaded retreat surrounded by the sounds of the river. The location provides easy access to numerous recreational opportunities including hiking, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and fly fishing on the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River. The campground is operated by a concessionaire under permit from the Umpqua National Forest and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Sites are equipped with picnic tables and fire pits, and vault toilets are available. However, potable water is not provided, so campers should bring their own or be prepared to treat water from nearby sources. There are no garbage services, so all trash must be packed out. Located approximately 40 miles east of Roseburg, the campground sits far enough from the highway to minimize traffic noise while remaining easily accessible. The area sees heavy usage during the summer season when visitors enjoy the shade and proximity to the river and trails. Pets are welcome but must be kept on leash, and quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Directions

From Roseburg, turn onto OR-138 East. Continue on OR-138 approximately 40 miles. Island Campground is on the right side of the road, shortly after the turnoff for Steamboat Creek Ball Field.
