Island Camp is a Forest Service campground in the Powers Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southwest Oregon. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the site charges a fee for use. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Illahe weather station show May highs around 75°F and October highs near 69°F, while July and August average about 90°F. That station sits roughly 600 feet lower than the camp, so temperatures at the site run a little cooler. Several other destinations lie within a short drive. Coquille River Falls is about a mile away, and Daphne Grove is about 1.2 miles off. Rock Creek and Sru Lake campgrounds are both within about 2 miles.
