About This Access Site
Located near Glide in Douglas County, Lone Rock is a drift boat access point on the North Umpqua River, situated off Rock Creek Road about 5.25 miles north of Highway 138 (approximately 22 miles east of Roseburg). This ramp provides convenient put-in access for kayakers, canoeists, and drift boaters exploring this scenic section of the river. The nearby Lone Pine Group Campground offers reservable camping nearby, though note that water is currently unavailable at the campground.

Lone Rock works well as a put-in for multi-day trips or shuttle runs on the North Umpqua Wild & Scenic River. Popular shuttle combinations include launching at Lone Rock and taking out at Colliding Rivers Boat Ramp (requiring two vehicles). The area also provides access to excellent steelhead fishing, particularly at nearby Swiftwater Day-Use Area just downstream. Before planning your trip, contact Douglas County Parks or the Lone Pine Group Campground at 541-440-4930 to confirm current conditions and any facility updates.

THIS LOCATION IS AVAILABLE FOR INDIVIDUAL SITE RENTALS FOR THE SUMMER AND FALL OF THE 2025 SEASON.WATER IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE AT THIS SITE. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY.Lone Pine Group Campground is adjacent to Rock Creek, a tributary of the North Umpqua River. Lone Pine is situated at the site of the old Rock Creek sawmill that once operated in the 1930s thru the 1950s. The campground is a short drive from the Umpqua National Forest, which boasts incredible glacier-cut mountain slopes across 984,602 acres of forest. The name, Umpqua, is a surviving term of the Native American Umpqua language, and is believed to mean "thundering waters," "across the waters" or "satisfied."Recreation
Hiking picnicking and relaxing are the primary activities at the campground. In summer, swimming in the cool creek is a refreshing treat. In spring and fall, salmon and steelheads come upriver to spawn.
To protect valuable native runs of salmon and steelhead, Rock Creek is closed to anglers. Instead, head to the North Umpqua River for abundant fishing opportunities.
A drive along the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway yields gorgeous views of mountain peaksforested canyons and alpine lakes.Facilities
The campground is built on a loop with eleven separate sites. The volleyball court and horseshoe pits are currently under construction. Use of a pavilion and ballfield is allowed for campers and day-use recreationists parking in the overflow area across Rock Creek Road.Natural Features
Lone Pine is on the western edge of the Cascade Mountains, set along Rock Creek, which eventually flows into the North Umpqua River. Lone Pine Campground was heavily affected by the Archie Creek Fire in 2020, creating significant differences from its previous condition.
Nearby Attractions
