About JACKSON CAMPGROUND ON THE APPLEGATE RIVER
JACKSON CAMPGROUND ON THE APPLEGATE RIVER is a public campground in Jacksonville, OR. It has 12 campsites. 12 sites can be reserved.
Jackson Campgrounds are located on the beautiful Applegate River in the Applegate Valley near Ruch, Medford, Grants Pass and historic Jacksonville. Jackson Campground sits on the shores of the Applegate River, a popular recreation site located north of the Red Buttes Wilderness Area.
Visitors enjoy swimming, cycling, boating, canoeing, fishing and hiking the various trails near the river. Nearby is the inactive Bigfoot trap, found at the beginning of the trail, built in 1974 by the North American Wildlife Research Team.
The trap was inspired by a miner who lived near the Applegate River who claimed to have found 18-inch-long, human-like tracks in his garden. The organization operated the trap, keeping it baited with carcasses for six years, but caught only bears and a hiker.
The campground has eight tent only campsites, two dry RV sites and one group site. Campsites are located along the Applegate River.
