For several years our family has camped on the Rogue River in Southern Oregon. We found
Farewell Bend Campground , at Union Creek, when the kids were young and fell in love with it's beauty from the start. The river water is cold but the air is often warm in late June and the fishing is tremendous. There has always been plenty of
Rainbow Trout to fry and sometimes enough to share with fellow campers. Farewell Bend is located on Hwy 62 which is the gateway to Crater Lake. (I will share more on that another day).
Favored Swimming Hole.....where the river splits and a pool was formed.
Douglas Fir and Pine trees grow side by side in abundance.
The water makes a roaring, memorising noise as it spills and flows down the valley. It is a wonderful place to sit, listen and soak in the language of the river.
The Rogue River is left in it's natural state and protected from huge developments. The water is clear and pristine for all campers to appreciate! There are no showers at this campsite but there are flush toilets....a simple luxury for campers! The campground fills up quickly, the crowd tends to be a quiet lot due to no electric hook-ups and it's more natural means of camping.
Waterfalls are present around every corner and the power of the water tears holes in the rocks over time. This river and it's location is a place we will return for years to come. It has been a place where our family has made memories and a place of rest!

That is beautiful. Sometimes I miss the lush green of Oregon. The desert is sure different, but we are enjoying it. Love reading your blog, makes me smile.
Love, Bridget
What a wonderful place to escape to from the hectic pace of reality. I have never been to Oregon - looks like I had better add it to my list of places I must visit!
It really looks wonderful. The last time I was at Crater Lake was in the 50's! The Rogue looks quite powerful.
This looks exactly like the place I want to escape to on Monday. The scenery looks so similiar to Manning Park a provincial campsite.
We'll be taking our grandchild on his second trip camping. I can't wait.
Truly a place to chop food, eat over an open camp fire and hang out.
Can you smell the fire and smoke?
Sorry, I should of introduced myself.
I jumped over from Willow's blog. It's sad to see her gone, so I just snooped around and found you.
Manning Park is east of Vancouver about 3 hours on your way to Penticton. I've grown up with the kids in this campground and now we take our little ones. So much fun.
