About
Overview
Foster Bar Campground is located on edge of large meadow next to the mighty Wild and Scenic Rogue River. Just downstream is the "take-out" boat ramp for rafters and fishermen; this portion of the river is world-renowned for its fishing opportunities! This is also a very important historic area, as it's the location of the last battle fought during the Rogue River Indian Wars.
