Beaver Dam Group Campground

Embrace the serenity of Beaver Dam Campground, where pristine wilderness meets rustic charm along the banks of Beaver Dam Creek. This small, semi-primitive camping area offers an intimate connection with nature, featuring just four individual campsites nestled among towering trees.

Each site comes equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, perfect for savoring meals under the starry night sky. The campground's minimalist approach extends to its facilities, with a vault toilet available but no drinking water on-site. Campers should come prepared with their own water supply and be ready to pack out all waste, embodying the true spirit of Leave No Trace principles.

Located in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Beaver Dam Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the diverse ecosystems of Southern Oregon. The campground is situated approximately 22 miles east of Ashland, offering a quick escape from urban life into the heart of nature. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Beaver Dam Trail #1001, which showcases both riparian areas and old-growth forest, providing ample opportunities for hiking and wildlife observation.

For those seeking aquatic adventures, Howard Prairie Lake is just a short 10-mile drive away, offering boating, fishing, and swimming opportunities. The lake's resort area features additional amenities such as a store, restaurant, and boat ramp, complementing the primitive experience at Beaver Dam Campground.
