South Umpqua Falls Campground, Umpqua National Forest, Oregon
Tent campers who pack in all their water and want easy access to the falls will get their money's worth here. Summer and fall score equally well, the sites are spacious, and at $10 a night with fire rings and vault toilets, it's hard to beat for a low-cost base camp.
No potable water on-site and none closer than Tiller (20 miles) means serious pre-trip hauling. The open meadow layout puts neighbors in plain view, and hot summer weekends bring crowds to the swimming holes that reviewers describe as genuinely rowdy.

Summer brings the warmest and driest conditions, with daytime highs in the mid-70s to low-80s and cool nights in the mid-40s to mid-50s. Late June through August offers the safest water access and fully open trails. July and August see the busiest weekends and possible fire restrictions. Winter temperatures drop into the 30s with occasional snow that melts quickly. Spring brings wildflowers and high water from snowmelt.
Spring brings flowing falls and fewer crowds; trails and pools attractive then.
