About
Natural Bridge Campground stretches along the Upper Rogue River in Oregon's Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The 17 campsites are set among towering conifers that provide pleasant shade and natural privacy screening. Each site includes a picnic table and fire pit. The campground has vault toilets but no potable water, so campers must bring their own water supply. There is no trash service; pack out all garbage. The campground takes its name from the nearby Natural Bridge, a striking geological feature where the Rogue River disappears into a lava tube and reemerges downstream. A short interpretive trail leads to viewing points with informative signs explaining the volcanic geology. The Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway passes nearby, and other hiking options include the Upper Rogue River Trail and Rogue Gorge Interpretive Trail. Located just 11 miles from the entrance to Crater Lake National Park, Natural Bridge makes an excellent base camp for exploring the park while enjoying a quieter, more affordable forest setting. The Upper Rogue River offers fishing and swimming opportunities directly from the campground.
Directions
From Prospect, OR, travel about 11 miles north on Highway 62 to the campground.
