About

This campground offers excellent scenery. Although Steamboat Creek is closed to all fishing, summer visitors often see large steelhead trout attempting to jump the falls during their spawning runs. The campground is located on the opposite side of Steamboat Creek from Steamboat Creek Road. Towering fir trees shade the nine campsites, and in the summer months many enjoy swimming at the falls. The trailhead for the 5.5-mile Mott segment of the North Umpqua Trail is about 6 miles southwest of the campground.Visitors to the Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. High Cascades glaciation, whitewater rapids, and explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the 983,239 acres of forest that provides spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. Verdant stands of hemlock, fir and cedar transition to forests of mixed conifers and hardwoods at lower elevations, while alpine ecosystems dominate high peaks. The translation of the word "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines the area. The Forest's waterways and diversity create desirable habitat for many species of fish and wildlife, in addition to providing outstanding recreational opportunities to our local communities and visitorsNorth Umpqua Trail #1414 Steamboat Falls Steamboat Fish Viewing Site Wild & Scenic North Umpqua RiverHiking Non-Motorized Boating Swimming Scenic Views Fly Fishing on the North Umpqua RiverFor facility specific information, please call (541) 440-4930.Vault Toilets Day Use Area Each site has a picnic table and fire ring Open year-round; first come, first serve
