of Roseburg, Oregon. Its location on the Umpqua River caters to avid anglers
and water sport enthusiasts while the grassy field and horseshoe pits offered
onsite, provide more casual recreation options closer to the campground.

**Firewood is currently unavailable for purchase on site.**

## Natural Features

Eagleview is situated along the Umpqua River in southwestern Oregon. It is
only one of two rivers in Oregon with headwaters that begin high up in the
Cascade Mountains and meander on down to the Pacific Ocean. The campground
lies in a broad river canyon surrounded by deeply forested mountainsides.  
  
The name, Umpqua, is a surviving term of the Native American Umpqua language,
and translates to "thundering waters," "satisfied," or "across the waters."

## Nearby Attractions

The Umpqua River Scenic Byway offers travelers the opportunity to drive along
the Umpqua River from Interstate 5 to the coastal communities of Reedsport and
Winchester Bay. Along the byway lies the town of Elkton, well-known for its
wineries. West of Elkton is the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, where spotting
majestic Roosevelt Elk near the roadway is almost guaranteed. The Pacific
Ocean is roughly 45 miles from Eagleview via Highway 138.

Campground

Susan Creek Campground

## Overview

Tyee Campground is situated between the Pacific Coast and the city of
Roseburg, Oregon. Perched on the banks of the Umpqua River, its location
appeals to avid anglers and water sport enthusiasts. The name, Umpqua, is a
surviving term of the Native American Umpqua language, and translates to
"thundering waters," "satisfied," or "across the waters."

For awareness when making reservations: There are two Tyee Campgrounds in
Oregon. This location is on the Umpqua River, and another is located near the
Oregon Dunes.

**Firewood is currently unavailable for purchase on site.**

## Recreation

Fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the chance to catch chinook and coho salmon,
steelhead, or bass depending on the season. A round of horseshoe on the
grounds or a walk down to the river will appeal to those looking for a more
casual day.

## Facilities

There are two areas with campsites. **Both areas are reservation only until
further notice**. You will have access to amenities including multiple spigots
for drinking water, restrooms, horseshoe pits, an emergency phone, and river
access.  
The campground also features the reservable Tyee Pavilion, which includes six
large picnic tables, a long serving counter, sink, electrical outlets and a
large barbecue grill. Search for Tyee Pavilion at recreation.gov for further
information.

## Natural Features

Tyee is located along the Umpqua River in southwestern Oregon. It is only one
of two rivers in Oregon with headwaters that begin high up in the Cascade
Mountains and meanders on down to the Pacific Ocean. The campground lies in a
broad river canyon surrounded by deeply forested mountainsides.

## Nearby Attractions

The Umpqua River Scenic Byway offers breathtaking views and outstanding
scenery. Along the byway lies the town of Elkton, well-known for its wineries
and butterfly pavilion.  
  
West of Elkton is the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, where spotting majestic
Roosevelt Elk near the roadway is almost guaranteed. The Pacific Coast is
roughly 50 miles from Tyee.

China Ditch was a 33-mile project dug by 200 Chinese laborers in the 1890s to
supply water for gold mining operations. The China Ditch is over 100 years
old, but it is still clearly visible on the hillsides. A trip to the ditch can
help to re-live the history of the golden years of western mining. The BLM,
along with the Umpqua National Forest have set aside some 11 miles of the
ditch for preservation. The BLM maintains a 4000 foot section of the ditch as
a trail where the public can experience the history of Oregon's mining days.
The self-guided driving tour is yet another way of getting to know the history
of the China Ditch. Along the tour are informative signs that explain the
history of the ditch. Also, there are areas on the driving tour where
artifacts of the past are clearly visible, such as the hydraulic piping used
to transport water down the steep hillsides. At the end of the loop you reach
the town of Myrtle Creek. There, you can try your luck at panning in the
scenic and gold-laden South Umpqua River. The driving loop is accessible by
most vehicles depending on weather conditions. Be sure to have your camera in
hand, because there may be numerous wildlife photo opportunities.
