About this campground
Nestled along the babbling waters of Rock Creek, Lone Pine Group Campground welcomes gatherings of up to 110 guests seeking an unforgettable outdoor experience. This riverside retreat combines the best of nature and recreation, featuring a spacious pavilion perfect for group meals and celebrations, a central fire pit for evening storytelling, and friendly competition areas with volleyball courts and horseshoe pits. The campground's prime location where Rock Creek meets the North Umpqua River creates a natural playground for swimming in crystal-clear pools, exploring scenic hiking trails, and enjoying leisurely bike rides through towering forests.
Lone Pine Group Campground is exclusively designed for group camping. The facility offers 11 separate sites and accommodates up to 110 campers. The campground does not support individual site reservations, emphasizing its group-use focus.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time at this historic site, where the rhythmic sounds of a bustling sawmill once echoed through the forest from the 1930s through the 1950s. Today, where lumber workers once harvested the mighty trees, families and friends gather to create their own memories. The campground sits within the traditional lands of the Umpqua people, whose name for this region—meaning 'thundering waters' or 'satisfied'—perfectly captures both the powerful presence of the rushing rivers and the deep contentment visitors feel in this sacred landscape.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic seasonal changes of the Cascade foothills, where crisp winter days hover around 49°F and nights dip to a cozy 35°F. Despite the region's reputation for rain, you'll find surprisingly dry conditions perfect for outdoor adventures. Spring awakens the forest with mild temperatures and wildflower blooms, while autumn transforms the landscape into a golden wonderland—both seasons offering prime conditions for witnessing the awe-inspiring salmon runs as these magnificent fish journey upstream through Rock Creek's rushing waters.
ElevationPerched in the heart of the Cascade Mountains' rugged terrain, this campground offers the perfect basecamp for exploring the region's dramatic elevations. While nestled comfortably in the forested valleys, you'll be surrounded by towering peaks and mountain vistas that define this spectacular corner of the Pacific Northwest.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in an ancient forest cathedral where massive Douglas firs, aromatic cedars, and graceful hemlocks create a living canopy overhead. Rock Creek winds through the campground like a liquid ribbon, its clear waters dancing over smooth stones and forming inviting swimming holes. This pristine slice of the western Cascade Mountains showcases nature's artistry at every turn—from moss-draped branches and fern-carpeted forest floors to the dramatic glacier-carved slopes that rise majestically in the distance.
Geological RegionDiscover the raw power of geological forces at this western Cascade Mountains campground, where ancient glaciers carved dramatic slopes and valleys that still inspire wonder today. The landscape tells a story millions of years in the making, with Rock Creek cutting through terrain dominated by towering firs, cedars, and hemlocks. This dynamic ecosystem represents the perfect meeting point between the volcanic legacy of the Cascades and the life-giving waters that have shaped these mountains into one of the Pacific Northwest's most stunning natural playgrounds.
