Tyee Recreation Site

Overview:

Take a deep breath and get ready to relax on the shores of one of the best rivers in Oregon. Tyee Recreation Site has 15 non-reservable campsites and is located on the main stem of the Umpqua River. Many of the campsites are located right on the bank of the river. A day-use picnic area and 50 person pavilion offer an exceptional setting for small group activities. Easy access to the river allows for fishing and water play opportunities. Keep an eye towards the sky for a chance to see the resident Osprey in the day-use area.
