About Jim Creek Group Campground

Overview

Jim Creek Group Campground provides your group with a peaceful camping experience on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.

Recreation

A popular day use area with access to the Upper Rogue River Trail is just a few minutes away. This trail traverses the scenic section of the upper Rogue River and provides fishing access in many places. A managed off-highway vehicle (OHV) trail system with two play areas and an OHV friendly campground are within a few minutes drive of this group campground.

Facilities

Jim Creek Group Campground is a rustic site with limited amenities. The campground accommodates tents only and up to 40 people. Picnic tables and campfire rings are available as well as a vault toilet just a short hike down the trail set away from the camp area. No water or garbage service is available.

Natural Features

This campground is very secluded and is set in an old growth grove of Douglas-fir trees adjacent to Abbott Creek. Abbott Creek, a tributary of the Rogue River, offers a sandy beach and swimming and wading during hot summer days.

Hike to Mill Creek & Barr Creek Falls

Prospect, Oregon

5.0

0.5 mi / 50 ft gain

Mill Creek Falls is a lesser-known gem in Southern Oregon. At 173 ft it is one of the tallest in the area, and Barr Creek Falls, plunging 240 ft, is less than a quarter mile further down the trail. The viewpoints can be accessed year-round though flows often fluctuate and spring/winter may best for greater flows. If conditions are right, the falls will freeze/partially freeze offering great pho...

Prospect, Oregon

0.5 mi

Pearsony falls, located in the Oregon State Park known as Prospect State Scenic Viewpoint, is about 15 feet tall and cascades picturesquely in two sections underneath a green canopy and between mossy rocks. The falls flow year round, though water levels vary with the season. A trip to Pearsony Falls can easily be combined with other destinations in the area, such as Mill and Barr Creek Falls, t...

Explore the Rogue River Gorge

Prospect, Oregon

5.0

This 500 ft. long gorge carved out of an old lava tube sits right along highway 62 near Crater Lake.

The area isn't large but has a nice parking area and 500 ft. long paved trail that follows right along the edge. At the head of the gorge sits...

South Umpqua Falls

Tiller, Oregon

If you are early enough, you can park at the designated day use parking area, which is where the bathroom is. There are picnic benches there along with a path to the top of the falls. If you want to be where the real action is, take the dirt trail down to the bottom of the falls which is less than 1/4 mile hike. There is a slight incline but nothing too worrisome for even the novice hiker. Yo...

Backpack to Devil's Peak and the Seven Lakes Basin

Jackson County, Oregon

3.0

13.7 mi / 3050 ft gain

Starting at at elevation of 5250 feet, the trail climbs steadily from the trailhead for approximately 3.3 miles to pass at 6900 feet. From here you will come to a junction where going right will lead to Devils Peak and the PCT and going left (straight) will take down into the basin. If you started early I would choose heading down to Cliff Lake first and setting up camp at one of the beautiful ...
