We had a great experience camping at Rogue Trout despite some rain showers. The creek was great for our kids to play in and we loved the privacy. We hope to stay here again soon! 10/10!
Enjoyed my stay at Rogue Trout. Although it was only for one night it was still a great trip. Campsite was on the water and liked I could hear the water. I’m new to fly fishing but was a great spot to fish. Nice flat land and was easy set up. Liked they had a clean port-a-potty on site. Will definitely visit again.
Easy to find and close to stores and food. People would sometimes honk and wave when they drove past the site, which was really sweet! Easy access to the water and we kayaked up and down the creek several times. My husband had a blast fishing on the site. Porta potty was clean as well. Not a ton of shade but wasn't a problem for us, we loved it. Field was beautiful and had a lot of room to spread out.
Communication with the host was great
