Scaredman Recreation Site

Canopied by the lush forested surroundings of Canton Creek, the Scaredman Recreation Site offers an intimate and tranquil camping experience, defined by riverside camping spots, serene swimming holes, and a minimalistic charm that immerses visitors in the natural world.

This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) campground includes 10 sites, equally suited for tent and small trailer camping, with essential amenities like drinking water spigots, picnic tables, fire rings, bear-proof trash bins, and a clean vault restroom. The creekside location provides easy access to peaceful swimming areas and excellent opportunities for fishing, making it ideal for nature lovers seeking a quiet getaway. While the campground is minimally developed, it exudes a raw beauty enhanced by its proximity to the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River, just a short drive away, known for its hiking trails and stunning vistas.

Located about an hour east of Roseburg, Oregon, the Scaredman Recreation Site is an escape into the rugged tranquility of the Umpqua National Forest. Perfect for day trips, weekend escapes, or longer camping stays, this site caters to those yearning for an authentic connection to pristine wilderness.
