Public land it sits in

On Wilderness Atlas →

This campground sits inside Umpqua National Forest.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.

Natural features

Visitors to the Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. Explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the nearly 1 million-acre forest, and provide spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. The translation of the word "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines the area. High mountain lakes, heart stopping rapids, peaceful ponds and thundering waterfalls, including the beautiful Toketee Falls, offer visitors plenty to see and do.

Recreation

Bogus Creek Campground is located in a prime location to participate in many outdoor endeavors such as hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, and whitewater rafting to name a few. The North Umpqua River, just across the highway from this campground, offers many recreational pursuits and river access is made easy with a raft launch located across from the campground as well. Renowned for outstanding salmon and steelhead fishing and exhilarating whitewater challenges, the North Umpqua River offers an ideal setting for many recreational pursuits.
