Susan Creek Campground

I planned on doing the Highway of Waterfalls. Unfortunately, my travels coincided with the government shutdown and it was impossible to make reservations. This was my first stop and there was a camp host who instructed me to pick any unoccupied site and pay at the Iron Ranger. It's a beautiful campground, the restroom and individual showers were spotless. I used Susan Creek CG as a base to hike Emerald Trail from the CG to Susan Creek Falls and drive to Fall Creek Falls.

The camp sites were above average, being exceptionally clean. Sites were private with trees between each site. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Many campsites had trails leading to the river. Even if your site did not have a personal trail there were other trails available to all. Market right down the road. Lots of close hiking and scenic trails. Fishing....fly fishing only at camp site trails. Regular fishing nearby. Birdwatching, swimming, biking. And again a very good host. Firewood on site only $5 a bundle. Will go again.

Wonderfully clean and quiet campground. Site 6 was fantastic. Clean showers and bathrooms though no hand soap the week we stayed. The Umpqua River below is accessible with hardly anyone around even in the middle of summer. Nearby trail to Susan falls was great and u can walk from campground. Tons of poison oak on that path so be careful.

This weekend was the second time I've been to Susan Creek and it is always a lovely stay. The bathrooms and showers are well maintained, and clean. This time, they did not have much fire wood available, but the camp host stated that he could split some of they ran out.

Great campground. Sites are reasonably private. I’ve seen worse and I’ve seen better. There are paths to the N Umpqua River (a 3 minute walk). Be aware of poison oak in some places. Clean flush toilets and showers, and water and wastewater facilities are available.
