Myrtle Grove is a Forest Service primitive campground in the Powers Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southwest Oregon. It sits along the South Fork of the Coquille River, about 7.5 miles from the town of Powers. The site has five campsites, each with a picnic table and fire pit. There is no drinking water, and a vault toilet serves the area. Garbage disposal is available from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Powers weather station show July and August highs around 79 to 80°F with only two or three wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 50s and rain on 15 to 18 days. The South Fork Coquille River paddling route is about 1.7 miles away, and the Big Tree and Elk Creek Falls hikes are both within about 2 miles. Buck Creek campground is roughly 3.7 miles off.
