Firewood is currently unavailable for purchase on site.
Cavitt Creek is the Roseburg BLM’s least accessible recreation site because of the three terraced levels the campground is constructed on. Renovations have upgraded access for people who use wheelchairs to parking areas, individual campsites, restrooms, and water spigots. The water play area is not accessible, but the day-use area does have an accessible waterfall viewing spot.
10 campsites on three terraced levels. Four campsites are waterfront

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $14 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.

OpenStreetMap has no toilet mapped within 1 km of this campground, so no site here carries a toilet distance. That’s a gap in the map, not a finding about the campground.
