Confirmed by 1 users | Last reported on April 30, 2022I would call this an average county campground. The sites are gravel and mostly level. During our stay the grass was tall in the campground and in the disc golf course. The host campsites were not marked so it was difficult to know who was hosting. The hosts do not sell firewood.
We stayed a couple nights at site 44 in the upper campground which has a view of the river. Most sites in the upper campground do not have a river view. We moved to the opposite end of the campground when a large group of people moved in to the neighboring campsite. The next few days were quiet. Some sites in the upper campground have hookups, the lower campground sites do not have hookups. The lower campgrounds sites are beside the river.
Our Verizon signal varied depending on where we were in the campground. Sometimes we had 3 bars and sometimes no signal.
I added pictures of several sites in the upper campground.

Price reflects Douglas County discount for Vets with service connected disabilities. 10 free nights a year with a $20 booking fee. You must call to make reservations. You can get the pass through Oregon.gov. I don't believe they require you to be an Oregon resident.
This is a quiet County Park that feels remote but is not too far from civilization. (25 minutes to Roseburg Costco). We stayed here in the beginning of March and again at the end of April. Only a few people camping each time.
We stayed in #44 last time and for 2 nights this trip. We then had to move to 42 because 44 was booked (but never occupied). Both are decent sites, but you can only see the North Umpqua river from 44. There are also excellent views from a nearby yurt.
The few campers we saw enjoyed a great fishing spot or the 27 hole disc golf course.
Cell phone coverage is spotty. With Verizon, about .5 Mbps download and .03 upload in the site. Down by the river, 4.47 Mbps down and 1.88 up. If you want better coverage, you only have to go to the overlook near the park entrance.

The lower campground is a beautifully laid out campsite area, dry camping and tents. Upper campsites are a bit cozy with perimeter trees but river view not seen except by pathways. Day use area also separate with very nice arrangement along the pristine North Umpqua River.. Boat ramp available.
Well kept grounds, very clean and restrooms and showers are available. Only draw back, not easy cell service.
