Eagleview Group Campground is situated between the Pacific Coast and the city of Roseburg, Oregon. Its location on the Umpqua River caters to avid anglers and water sport enthusiasts while the grassy field and horseshoe pits offered onsite, provide more casual recreation options closer to the campground.
Fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the chance to catch chinook salmon, coho, steelhead or smallmouth bass depending on the season. Float the river on a kayak or canoe or just swim in the cool Umpqua waters on a hot summer's day. These are just a few of the many things to do at Eagleview.
The campground has 10 campsites that will accommodate up to 100 campers. There is also a group picnic area, covered pavilion and a large fire pit for group gatherings. The grassy field is ideal for bocce ball, croquet or throwing around a Frisbee and a small frisbee golf course. Horseshoe pits are also on-site.
Eagleview is situated along the Umpqua River in southwestern Oregon. It is only one of two rivers in Oregon with headwaters that begin high up in the Cascade Mountains and meander on down to the Pacific Ocean. The campground lies in a broad river canyon surrounded by deeply forested mountainsides.
The name, Umpqua, is a surviving term of the Native American Umpqua language, and translates to "thundering waters," "satisfied," or "across the waters."
The Umpqua River Scenic Byway offers travelers the opportunity to drive along the Umpqua River from Interstate 5 to the coastal communities of Reedsport and Winchester Bay. Along the byway lies the town of Elkton, well-known for its wineries. West of Elkton is the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, where spotting majestic Roosevelt Elk near the roadway is almost guaranteed. The Pacific Ocean is roughly 45 miles from Eagleview via Highway 138.
From Sutherlin, travel west on Highway 138 for 12 miles. Turn left at the Bullock Bridge, cross over the bridge and immediately turn right onto County Road 57 (Bullock Road). Travel one mile to Eagleview. Campground is on the right.
Went to an awesome N/A campout here! Very nice campground and the water was BEAUTIFUL!! Great spot for group camping!!
This is an awesome Campground with a beautiful river right there. Great fishing spots and if you're into rockhounding there are some prime spots for getting Agate, Jasper etc. right across the river at the boat ramp. This would be an ideal campground for a wedding. You could set up on the river. The rocks are flat for chairs. You could make a driftwood arch and then after the wedding, there is a large pavilion with BBQ for the reception. Since people are camping you don't have to worry about drinking and driving if you serve alcohol. It truly is a perfect spot on the Umpqua River.
Me and my sister go swimming here all the time. Its a pretty good spot to swim. Theres just a little current so i do recommend bringing a float. It gets pretty hot there too! You kinda just have to find a flat rock to lay on.
Great smaller campground, reserved spots 13 & 14 at the end. Nice quiet cul-de-sac where the kids played and rode bikes. It's not on the waters edge like it appears on the map but the walk to the river isnt bad. There are no sandy shore lines at the campground and there is a lot of algea growth but not bad for fishing or rafting.
We really had a great time! The ONLY thing was how loud the trucks are in the morning. This place has a lot to offer. We loved the horse shoes and a walk to the Umpqua River so the dog(Boodgie) could rest her feet, in the water. And later by the fire, I was roasting marshmallows resting OUR feet. Lol. Next to our famy all around us. It was very nice to be there with all of them!
