Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights20 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups.
Recreation at Scaredman centers on low-key, waterside activities: the immediate area is best for picnicking, relaxing, and accessing several undeveloped swimming holes on Canton and nearby Steamboat Creek. Note that both Canton and Steamboat creeks are closed to angling, but excellent river recreation is only three miles downstream where the North Umpqua opens up that stretch is known for class III whitewater boating and world-class fly-fishing (angling on that river corridor is restricted to fly-fishing only).











Length limits vary by campsite.
Not listed — confirm before booking: Max RV length isn't listed.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (938 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
10 individual reservable campsites from Recreation.gov, checked Nov 7. Rates are the listed nightly rates.
