Myrtle Grove Campground offers five primitive sites along the South Fork Coquille River in Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, about 15 miles from Powers. The campground is free, shaded by myrtle trees and old-growth Douglas firs, and maintained during summer months. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilets available.
Myrtle Grove Campground consists of primitive camping sites with a focus on a natural and undeveloped outdoor experience. It is suitable for tent camping and small groups, with no modern RV hookups or glamping options.
Weather and SeasonsSummer brings the best conditions, with daytime temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to mid-80s°F and calm river levels ideal for swimming. The campground sees its heaviest use on summer weekends from late June through August, though five sites means crowds stay manageable. Spring features higher river flows from snowmelt. Winter visits are possible but require checking road conditions beforehand, and garbage service stops outside the summer season.
