About

Steamboat Falls Campground is a small, intimate campground with seven sites nestled along Steamboat Creek in the Umpqua National Forest. Towering fir trees provide shade and create a sense of seclusion despite the campground's proximity to the North Umpqua Highway. The campground is accessed by crossing Steamboat Creek from Steamboat Road. The main attraction is the excellent scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. Although Steamboat Creek is closed to all fishing, summer visitors often witness large steelhead trout attempting to jump the falls during their spawning runs, making this a popular spot for nature observation. The surrounding area offers additional recreation, with the Mott segment trailhead of the North Umpqua Trail located approximately 6 miles southwest of the campground. This is a rustic campground with basic amenities. Each site includes a picnic table and fire pit. Vault toilets are available, but campers must bring their own water as none is available on-site. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Maximum vehicle length is 20 feet, and the campground has light usage levels.
