In the agency’s own words
Situated along the upper reaches of the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River, Boulder Flat Campground is an enchanting site, lush with greenery from end to end. Popular with whitewater enthusiasts, this campground offers a raft put-in that is the start of many memorable raft trips. Keep reading
Recreation
Boulder Flat Campground is in a prime location for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and whitewater rafting, often times seeing die hard rafters all year long. The concrete raft launch is busy throughout the spring and summer, and changing rooms provide privacy for those needing to prepare for their whitewater adventures. The popular 79-mile North Umpqua Trail, with multiple trailheads in the vicinity, offers hikers and bikers of all abilities the opportunity to gain some serious mileage or to just take a leisurely stroll or ride. Nearby Twin Lakes offers some of the most spectacular and breathtaking views in the area and makes for a great get-away to have a picnic or do some wildlife viewing. Just up the highway is the popular Toketee Falls.
Facilities
This campground has nine campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings. There is one boat ramp and a changing room building with two fairly large stalls that were newly constructed in 2011. There are two accessible vault toilets located on each end of the campground. Day use parking with extra-long spurs to provide for boat trailers is provided as well as short-term parking for unloading/loading at the boat ramp area. All roads and parking spurs within the campground are paved. All but one of the campsites has river access.
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 that provides 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 272 foot Watson Falls on the North Umpqua Highway, offer visitors plenty of pastimes. Diverse ecosystems support a wide range of habitat for wildlife common to the area. From eagles and owls, to salamanders and salmon, these species, along with many others, depend on surrounding undeveloped wilderness, clean streams, and diverse forests to live and thrive.

Nothing on the booking system for the next 30 nightsread 16:38 UTC
Every site here is reservable, and the record lists none held back for anyone who drives up.
Every one of the next thirty nights is in recreation.gov’s record and not one site is being offered on any of them. That’s a campground closed or not yet released for booking, not a sold-out one.

What you actually pay
“$5.00 per additional vehicle per day **MUST BE PAID AT THE CAMPGROUND FEE KIOSK UPON ARRIVAL $10.00 per night for additional camping units” · the U.S. Forest Service’s own fee record
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $16 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.

Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

The price is derived by CAMPANAC, not published per site: the per-night rate this campground publishes for each site’s own site type. 9 of the 9 sites listed carry one, and a site whose type has no published rate sits out of the price rather than being called free.
Measured shade is NLCD Tree Canopy Cover 2024 (USDA Forest Service / MRLC) read at the site’s own coordinate, 27% canopy or more, and only for the sites the agency gave no Shade value. It never changes the agency’s own shaded count beside it.
