*CAPITALS : popular site/bottleneck/congested areas
Factors to consider when choosing a campsite:
 This is a partial list and many other campsites are
available.
 Large sites are limited and therefore large groups have
fewer choices than small and medium sized groups.
 Extended stays at popular group sites displaces others for
multiple days in a row.
 Some sections of the river do not offer as many campsites,
especially for larger groups.
 Take advantage of sites that do not have an outhouse.
These include many sand and gravel bars and low
elevation benches just above the river.
 Be courteous and accommodating to groups that may
have to share your site. If you are a small group using a
large site – use one side of the site so you are prepared to
share if necessary.
 Remain flexible in your choice of sites.
 Don’t unnecessarily impose your group on a site already
occupied when other sites may be available.

Wild Rogue Campsites
The Rogue River is unique in that the management plan calls
for maximizing use on a per person basis, up to 120 people
per day. This means the number of groups launching each
day widely varies.
In addition, the length of time spent on individual trips
typically varies between 3 and 7 days. With this
unpredictable combination of trip length and number of
trips, your river experience may feel either crowded or
remote. During those times when both length of trip and
number of launches is high, the competition for campsites is
increased.
If your group has 9 people or less, please consider using
a small site and leave large sites for large groups. If your
group is smaller than the estimated size of the site, be
prepared to share that site.
Small sites accommodate 9 people or less. Large sites
accommodate 10 and over.
Campsite size, number of tent sites, and the description
of sites can vary due to water levels; differing opinions on
closeness of tents to one another; and changes in the
amount of sand, vegetation and flat area. Numbers in table
are for 1,000 - 2,000 cfs. Keep in mind when the river is
running above 2,000 cfs, fewer campsites will be available.
Permits are required for float trips below Grave Creek from
May 15th thru October 15th. Contact the Smullin Visitor
Center for more information.
