About Toketee Group Site
Nestled alongside the legendary North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River, Toketee Group Site beckons families and friends seeking the perfect riverside retreat. This peaceful haven seamlessly blends modern amenities with natural beauty, offering spacious graveled parking for RVs alongside intimate tent camping spots beneath towering trees. The centerpiece pavilion and expansive grass meadows create an ideal setting for gatherings, while the gentle murmur of the river provides nature's soundtrack to your outdoor adventures.
Toketee Group Site is designed for group camping and accommodates both tent and RV campers. The site features a mix of open grassy areas for tents and graveled parking areas for RVs. However, it is a dry site with no potable water, making it essential for visitors to bring their own.
Historical SignificanceToketee stands as a testament to the raw power of ancient volcanic forces that shaped this corner of Oregon. The crown jewel, Toketee Falls, showcases nature's artistry through its dramatic basalt column amphitheater - a geological masterpiece formed millions of years ago. These towering hexagonal pillars have drawn visitors for generations, becoming an integral part of the region's natural heritage and inspiring countless photographers, artists, and nature enthusiasts who seek to capture its timeless beauty.

Natural Features and SceneryStep into a riverside paradise where graceful willows dance in the breeze and stately alders create natural cathedral ceilings overhead. The campground's maple trees paint spectacular autumn displays, while a charming footbridge invites explorers to discover hidden viewpoints of both river and reservoir. Morning mists often reveal industrious beavers at work, while lucky visitors might spot sleek otters playing in the current or majestic bald eagles soaring overhead. The interplay of water, forest, and meadow creates an ever-changing canvas of natural beauty.
Geological RegionToketee Group Site rests in the heart of one of Oregon's most geologically fascinating corridors, where the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River has carved its path through ancient volcanic landscapes. The tranquil waters of Toketee Reservoir reflect the surrounding forest of willows, maples, and alders that soften the dramatic geological backdrop. Just a short journey away, the thundering Toketee Falls plunges through a natural amphitheater of columnar basalt - a stunning reminder of the volcanic forces that created this enchanting landscape millions of years ago.
