Lone Pine Group Campground

The name, Umpqua, is a surviving term of the Native American Umpqua language, and is believed to mean "thundering waters," "across the waters" or "satisfied." Recreation Hiking picnicking and relaxing are the primary activities at the campground. In summer, swimming in the cool creek is a refreshing treat. In spring and fall, salmon and steelheads come upriver to spawn. To protect valuable native runs of salmon and steelhead, Rock Creek is closed to anglers. Instead, head to the North Umpqua River for abundant fishing opportunities. A drive along the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway yields gorgeous views of mountain peaksforested canyons and alpine lakes. Facilities The campground is built on a loop with eleven separate sites. The volleyball court and horseshoe pits are currently under construction. Use of a pavilion and ballfield is allowed for campers and day-use recreationists parking in the overflow area across Rock Creek Road. Natural Features Lone Pine is on the western edge of the Cascade Mountains, set along Rock Creek, which eventually flows into the North Umpqua River. Lone Pine Campground was heavily affected by the Archie Creek Fire in 2020, creating significant differences from its previous condition. Nearby Attractions Visitors can get their adventure-fix with whitewater rafting/kayaking and angling in the North Umpqua River just five miles away. A trip to nearby Crater Lake National Park is another "can't miss" destination or visiting several of the waterfalls in the surrounding area.
