Located on the shores of Rock Creek, a tributary of the South Fork Coquille River , this small campground is the perfect place to take shelter under the trees and listen to the sounds of the creek. A quick drive and visitors can venture to the Coquille Falls trailhead and other scenic spots along the Coquille River. Keep reading

Nothing to book, just show up

One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and a night costs $6 with nothing added. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.

recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What a stay costs
One night, fromDerived$6
A weekend, Friday and Saturday, fromDerived$12

Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($6), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.

How we know

every fact on this page, and where it came from
Right now: U.S. Forest Service publishes no season and no closure for this campground, and it takes no bookings we can read. That’s a gap in the record and not a locked gate.
Cell signal: the Forest Service’s own campground description, read as text by CAMPANAC. None of this is a measurement. It’s what the land manager published about the place, and phones, carriers and weather all disagree with each other; treat it as a warning, not a promise.
