Whiskey Springs Campground
Whiskey Springs Campground is a short distance from Willow Lake and 42 miles east of Medford. The campground is within the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest and is operated by a concessionaire, Rogue Recreation. Whiskey Springs Pond, home to beavers, is adjacent to the campground. Visitors to nearby 927-acre Willow Lake enjoy wonderful fishing from shore and boat. A number of good hiking trails area nearby, including the Mt. McLoughlin Trail #3716, a 5-mile hike to the summit of the peak.
Whiskey Springs Campground offers 34 campsites in a conifer forest. Seven of the sites are designated for tents only. The rest can accommodate RVs, trailers and tents. Five of the sites are pull-throughs. Foliage provides good privacy between the campsites.

Then turn on the Butte Falls - Willow Lake Road, going another 16 miles through Butte Falls onto the Butte Falls - Fish Lake Rd. Watch for campground signs and turn onto Parker Meadows Road.
