About South Umpqua Falls Campground
Like a little taste of Yosemite tucked away in the Umpqua Valley, South Umpqua Falls Campground is an open meadow campground surrounded by timber. With 20 campsites, 3 vault toilets, and grey water waste sumps so you can easily dispose of dirty water, this campground has the space and amenities needed for family and group camping. Across the road is the picturesque South Umpqua Falls Picnic Area, where you can see the South Umpqua River cascade fifteen feet over a wide slab of bedrock, learn about Chinook salmon, and occasionally spot a bald eagle flying overhead. Campground sits at 1,600 feet of elevation. Campground generally does not have snow cover in Winter. **Latitude:**43.055849 **Longitude: **-122.6884 - 19 campsites with picnic tables and fire pits - No drinking water - 3 vault toilets - Grey water waste sumps - Garbage disposal
