Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Advisory...in effect until noon PDT Monday for eastern Douglas County...mainly for areas in the south Umpqua River valley near Tiller and the Umpqua National Forest east of Steamboat.

About
Tyee Campground is perched on the banks of the Umpqua River in southwestern Oregon, managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Roseburg District. The name Umpqua comes from Native American language, translating to "thundering waters." The campground lies in a broad river canyon surrounded by deeply forested mountainsides, with the Umpqua being one of only two Oregon rivers with headwaters beginning high in the Cascade Mountains that flow all the way to the Pacific Ocean. The campground features 15 individual sites, including 14 standard nonelectric sites and one tent-only site. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. Facilities include two accessible vault toilets, multiple drinking water spigots, horseshoe pits, an emergency phone, and direct river access. The reservable Tyee Pavilion offers six large picnic tables, a serving counter, sink, electrical outlets, and a barbecue grill for group gatherings. Fishing is the main draw, with opportunities to catch chinook and coho salmon, steelhead, or bass depending on the season. The nearby Umpqua River Scenic Byway offers breathtaking views, and the town of Elkton with its wineries and butterfly pavilion lies along the route. The Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area is west of Elkton, and the Pacific Coast is roughly 50 miles away.
Directions
