About
Jim Creek Group Campground is a secluded tent-only group site set within an old-growth Douglas-fir forest adjacent to Abbott Creek in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The campground accommodates up to 40 people and features picnic tables and fire pits. A vault toilet is located a short hike from the camp area. There is no potable water or garbage service, so campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash. The site is accessed via a locked gate behind Forest Road 6470, with a combination provided in your reservation confirmation. Parking is limited, with space for approximately 5 vehicles at the lower lot and additional overflow parking about 1/8 mile away. This is strictly a tent-only site; RVs, trailers, and pop-ups are not permitted. Nearby attractions include the Woodruff Bridge picnic area, which provides access to the 47-mile Upper Rogue River Trail connecting Crater Lake National Park to Prospect. A managed OHV trail system with play areas is just minutes away. Crater Lake National Park and the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway offer additional day-trip opportunities.
