The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has announced campground opening dates for its Roseburg District.
According to a report, the public lands of Oregon and Washington provide a variety of outdoor recreation activities.
Visitors can picnic in lush forests of the western part of Oregon one weekend and explore the wildlands east of the Cascades the next.
Recreation settings include evergreen forests with high desert vistas, exotic lava flows, rugged river canyons, coastal headlands, and whitewater rapids.
BLM has announced an extension of the 2022 season at its Roseburg District campgrounds:
- Susan Creek: April 15 to November 20, 2022
- Eagleview Group: May 6 to October 23, 2022
- Cavitt Creek: May 20 to November 20, 2022
- Scaredman: May 20 to November 20, 2022
- Tyee: Open year-round
Campsites at the Eagleview Group, Susan Creek, Cavitt Creek, and Scaredman campgrounds, and the pavilion at the Tyee Campground must be reserved at least three days before the time of stay. You can book a campsite by visiting www.recreation.gov.
Campers wanting to stay in an unreserved campsite during the three-day non-reservable time frame can pay at the campground.
Campers can only pay for nights on a first-come, first-served basis up to the following reservation date. Campers will be responsible for vacating the site before the next reservation holder’s arrival.
Due to the Archie Creek Fire in 2020, the Lone Pine Group, Rock Creek, and Millpond campgrounds will remain closed this year.
The BLM is working on removing hazard trees and repairing the infrastructure of the sites affected by the fire.
