About this campground

Rujada Campground is located 21 miles east of Cottage Grove (45 minutes from Eugene) on a riverside terrace above Layng Creek. A favorite site for family picnics and camping, visitors will enjoy shaded campsites with privacy, access to swimming on the banks of Layng Creek and a hike through a rich riparian Douglas fir forest on the Swordfern trail. Check out a historic Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) shelter and a kid's playground with obstacles, swing, teeter- totter and monkey bars both located within the campground. This developed campground offers flush toilets, running water, picnic tables, campfire rings, and garbage collection. A campground host is typically onsite during the summer season. There are 15 sites available at this campground. This beautiful and quiet campground located in the Umpqua National Forest sits at approximately 1,200 feet in elevation among Douglas fir, hardwood trees and ferns. Recreational opportunities are plentiful and include hiking, biking, fishing, swimming, and nature viewing. Spirit Falls, Moon Falls, and Pinard Falls Trails are just a few of the local waterfall trails in the area.

What campers say

Rujada Campground offers roomy, mostly flat tent platforms with grass or small-rock pads and decent separation between sites for privacy. The loop includes a large day-use area and a recently refreshed playground with a tire swing, teeter-totter and monkey bars. Short trails follow the creek (Swordfern Trail) and provide wading spots, a pebble beach and a popular jump/swim hole. Sites include fire rings and picnic tables; toilet facilities are available, but water access appears inconsistent - some report flush toilets while spigots can be capped. Trail maintenance and host interactions vary, and noise or crowding can occur at busy times.
