About Camp Comfort Campground

Nestled beneath towering ancient trees, Camp Comfort Campground stands as a gateway to wilderness adventure in the Umpqua National Forest. While temporarily closed as of 2025 due to hazardous tree conditions, this intimate five-site retreat has long been cherished by outdoor enthusiasts seeking authentic backcountry experiences. Each campsite comes equipped with its own picnic table and fire pit, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. Though rustic in nature without running water or restroom facilities, the campground's prime location at multiple trailheads and proximity to pristine swimming holes has made it a beloved basecamp for hikers and nature lovers exploring the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest.

Camp Comfort Campground caters primarily to tent campers and small RV users. It provides primitive camping sites, making it suitable for those seeking a rustic outdoor experience.

Summer transforms the campground into a sun-dappled paradise, with warm, dry days perfect for swimming in crystal-clear river pools and embarking on epic trail adventures through the surrounding wilderness.

Natural Features and SceneryStep into a cathedral of nature where massive old-growth cedars and firs create a living canopy overhead, their ancient trunks telling stories of centuries past. In spring, wild rhododendrons transform the forest floor into a painter's palette of pink and purple blooms. The campground serves as your personal launching point for two spectacular trails: Camp Comfort Trail #1586 winds through emerald forests to the crystal waters of the South Umpqua River, while Deer Lick Falls Trail #1568 promises cascading waterfalls and breathtaking vistas. This pristine pocket of wilderness offers an authentic Pacific Northwest experience where moss-draped giants shelter fern-carpeted groves and the sound of rushing water provides nature's soundtrack.

Geological RegionDiscover the enchanting Upper South Umpqua River region, where Camp Comfort Campground sits cradled within the vast Umpqua National Forest. This geological wonderland showcases the raw beauty of the Cascade foothills, where centuries-old cedar and fir giants rise from volcanic soils enriched by millennia of forest cycles. The surrounding landscape tells the story of ancient geological forces, with the South Umpqua River carving its path through bedrock while native rhododendron shrubs thrive in the acidic soils beneath the towering canopy. This corner of Oregon represents one of the last remaining sanctuaries of true old-growth forest ecosystem in the Pacific Northwest.
