Overview

Named after a historic Civilian Conservation Corps Camp that was built in the late 1930s, Three C Rock Campground is situated on the South Umpqua River. This campground, with five campsites, is a great spot for families to relax under a canopy of mixed conifers. If you enjoy fishing, then you are in luck as this is the only spot along the South Umpqua River where fishing is permitted. Be prepared for poison oak in the surrounding vegetation.

Natural Features

Visitors to the Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. High Cascades glaciation, whitewater rapids, and explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the 983,239 acres of forest that provides spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources.

Verdant stands of hemlock, fir and cedar transition to forests of mixed conifers and hardwoods at lower elevations, while alpine ecosystems dominate high peaks.

The translation of the word "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines the area. The Forest's waterways and diversity create desirable habitat for many species of fish and wildlife, in addition to providing outstanding recreational opportunities to our local communities and visitors.
