Campground details
Setting
Built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, Farewell Bend Campground is a 60-site loop set in an old-growth forest along the Upper Rogue River, 18 miles west of Crater Lake National Park. The facility accommodates tents, trailers, and RVs, offering picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water, flush toilets, and firewood for sale. Hikers can access the Upper Rogue River Trail and the Rogue Gorge Trail System directly from the grounds. The river provides on-site fishing and swimming, while the historic Union Creek Resort lies less than a mile away for basic services.
