Beautiful campground. Spacious sites, many on the Rogue River. Some sites are doubles. Friendly hosts. Highly recommend.
This is such a beautiful spot! The scenery was breathtaking. A stream running through the campgrounds and tons of trees. Mel was the host and was super helpful. I am so glad we decided to pop into. After a long day of driving, Mel helped us find our spot and settle in. She had recommendations of where to eat in town and what to do. Couldn’t have been more happy to meet the folks at Farewell Bend. I cannot say enough nice things about how warm and welcome we felt. Bathrooms were spotless and the campground was clean, we saw Mel picking up trash while walking. Had the best time! I plan to come back soon!
Honestly one of the cutest campgrounds I’ve been to in a while! Super picturesque and secluded near a rushing stream. No cell service as an FYI. The bathrooms were clean and there were nice picnic tables at each site.
Campground Host Mel Smith was Amazing! We rolled in on a Friday afternoon with no reservations and she went above and beyond to find us a great spot on the water. Very friendly and welcoming, we will be back!
This place is fantastic. The spots on the water are top notch and the host, Mel, is seriously the best. We found a first come, first served site closer to the road initially, but Mel hooked us up with a site right on the water that came available due to an early departure. She really cares about the place and it shows!
