. MEDFORD MAM. TRIBUNE, MAY 3, 1961
Abundant Supply of Camp Sites Available
camping is becoming a
more popular activity for
week ends and vacations, and
southern Oregon and northern
California provide area resi
dents with an abundant sup
ply of locations and facilities.
From the coast to the top of
the Cascades, and beyond,
camp areas and picnic facili
ties are being improved and
developed by county, state
and federal agencies to meet
the increased demand for va
cationists and outdoor en
. thusiasts.
State parks, some of them
with camping facilities, others
with just picnic facilities, are
located along the coast, state
and federal highways and
along rivers in both Oregon
and California. ' .
Along the coast, perhaps
the most popular park is Har
ris Beach State park, where
there are overnight camping
facilities throughout the year,
picnic facilities, and several
miles of beach for hikers, surf
fishing, and for a few daring
swimmers.
Recently Developed
Another camp site which
recently was developed in the
immediate area is Laurelhurst
off Crater Lake highway 40
miles northeast of . Medford.
Overnight camping at Laurel
hurst will open May 24.
There are many state parks
where overnight camping is
not permitted, and among the
more popular ones are Tou
Velle State park along the
Rogue river a few miles .
northeast of Medford, and
Casey State park on Highway
62.
The greatest number of
camp sites available, how
ever, are- within federal juris
diction areas the national
forests, land administered by
the bureau of land manage
ment, and the national park
service.
. There are 46 camping and
picnic areas in Rogue River
National forest. Some of them
are in areas where there are
no roads for- those who like
to hike (and carry packs).
Tables, stoves and toilets" are
located at the majority of
sites.

DEPUTY AND BOAT This is the boat
which the sheriff's boat patrol uses on Jack
son county waters to enforce the state boat
ing regulations which became effective last
year. Posing beside the boat and trailer in
the courthouse parking lot is Sgt. Veryl
Vanoose, in charge of the patrol. Deputies
are already finding the one boat inadequate
for patrol of the Rogue river, Howard
Prairie, Emigrant and Hiatt lakes..
