For more pictures of the Rising River RV Park I live in, that is a link to a website I made for it. It is a 68-space modern and strictly RV park on the Umpqua River. The under $300 rent includes cable TV, water, sewer, trash, picnic table and lawn maintenance. There is a maintained 800'+ shaded picnic, swimming and fishing area on the river. It has recreation room with a pool table, kitchenette, exchange library and very modern laundry, all shown in the pictures at that website.

It is located 8 miles south of a 20,000 population town with major shopping, a small airport and a large Veterans Admistration Hospital surrounded by both its own golf course and a municipal golf course. Highlights of the area are a July 4th Graffitti Week with over 500 classic cars and summer Tuesday nights "Music On The Half Shell" in a park on the river.

The RV park itself is on the outskirts of the small town of Winston that is on a major route to the Pacific Ocean only 60 miles to the west and 1 mile from a large drive-through zoo called "Wildlife Safari". The area is surrounded by 300'-500' rolling hills that protect it from major weather-related extremes or harm and no known earthquake faults. Summer temperatures average in the high 80's, occasional 90's and 100's and winters in the 40's.
