About
Union Creek Campground occupies a scenic stretch of old-growth forest in the Union Creek Historic District, where its namesake creek intersects the Rogue River. Constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934, the campground retains a classic national forest character with well-spaced sites tucked among large trees. The Upper Rogue River here is fed by snowmelt and springs from the Cascade Range, including Mount Mazama's slopes. The campground offers 73 individual sites, most standard nonelectric, plus 3 full-hookup RV sites located near the day-use parking area along an ATV trail. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Thirteen vault toilets and drinking water spigots are distributed throughout. A campground host sells firewood and gray water sumps are available. Union Creek Resort is within walking distance, providing a convenience store, restaurant, and ice cream shop. The entire length of the Upper Rogue River is paralleled by the hiker-only Upper Rogue River Trail, easily accessed for short segments. The Rogue Gorge Trail System connects Rogue Gorge Day Use through the campground to Natural Bridge Day Use Area. Nearby attractions include Rogue Gorge, Natural Bridge (where the river runs underground through a lava tube), Diamond Lake Resort, and Crater Lake National Park.
