Discover Applegate Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips

Applegate Lake lies in southern Oregon, close to the state border with California. Surrounded by the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Applegate Lake is an oasis within picturesque woodland. This being said, it is not too far from the Oregon towns of Medford and Ashland, with the Californian town of Happy Camp also a short drive away. This man-made lake was created in 1980 by the damming of the Applegate River, it was originally built for irrigation and flood defenses but today offers exceptional recreational opportunities. These opportunities, combined with its closeness to many of Oregon's towns, create the perfect place to take an RV rental. Access to the woods and lake with a rental RV is made even easier with Interstate 5 joining the Applegate Road.

Getting Outdoors

For those who seek to find the best fishing spots on their camp trips, look no further. The keen anglers among you will be pleased to hear that Applegate Lake is somewhat of a fisherman's paradise. The lake is home to a wide range of fish species, each with its very own sporting characteristics. Applegate Lake includes many cold-water species such as rainbow trout, steelhead trout, chinook salmon, and coho salmon. Alongside these, there is also an abundance of warm-water species such as largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, and sunfish. Whether Applegate Lake campers choose to fish from the 18 miles of shoreline or a boat out on the water, they will rarely be unsuccessful.

Camping at Applegate Lake

For those RV camping at Applegate Lake, there is a number of choices, and this all depends on the camper's preferences. Campsites such as ‘Tipsu Tyee,' ‘Harr Point,' and ‘Hart-Tish Park’ offer great locations on the shores of Applegate Lake, yet only offer dry-camping with occasional facilities such as a toilet block.

Exploring The Area

A few miles drive north of Applegate Lake is the city of Medford, Oregon, a perfect destination for escaping the lakeside activities and enjoying a day-trip in town. Campers with young children should take a visit to Medford's ‘Kid Time Children’s Museum.' This museum has a wide range of exhibitions and interactive displays that encourage children to learn through creative play. One such installation is the Art Room, a room where the children are free to express their artistic sides through painting and crafting. This is a perfect family fun day out in Medford that both parents and children can enjoy.

Ryan was a wonderful host! He and his wife were extremely accommodating and responsive. The RV was perfect for myself and my husband, but we could have fit our whole family. It had all the essentials and was an overall great camping experience.
