Lone Pine Group Campground

PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY. Lone Pine Group Campground is adjacent to Rock Creek, a tributary of the North Umpqua River. Lone Pine is situated at the site of the old Rock Creek sawmill that once operated in the 1930s thru the 1950s. The campground is a short drive from the Umpqua National Forest, which boasts incredible glacier-cut mountain slopes across 984,602 acres of forest. The name, Umpqua, is a surviving term of the Native American Umpqua language, and is believed to mean "thundering waters," "across the waters" or "satisfied." Recreation Hiking picnicking and relaxing are the primary activities at the campground. In summer, swimming in the cool creek is a refreshing treat. In spring and fall, salmon and steelheads come upriver to spawn. To protect valuable native runs of salmon and steelhead, Rock Creek is closed to anglers. Instead, head to the North Umpqua River for abundant fishing opportunities. A drive along the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway yields gorgeous views of mountain peaksforested canyons and alpine lakes.
