A Drive-In Movie Experience Like No Other

At Sutherlin / Umpqua Valley KOA, we stepped back in time and enjoyed the charm of an old-fashioned drive-in movie. Built on the historic Cloverleaf Drive-In site, this unique campground offers nightly big-screen movies that can be enjoyed from community fire pits or from the comfort of a Premium Movie Site. It’s a nostalgic and memorable experience for all ages. For movie listings (and other events) visit https://koa.com/campgrounds/sutherlin/events/.

The movie screen has an adjacent playground for the kids and a little further right are two off-leash dog parks.

Whether traveling in a large RV, a sprinter van, or with a tent, Sutherlin / Umpqua Valley KOA has a site to match:

RV Sites: Pull-thru options with full hookups (30/50-amp) are available, including premium sites with movie views. Standard sites offer a quieter atmosphere for those seeking a peaceful night’s rest.
Tent Sites: Traditional campers can enjoy tent sites equipped with water and electric hookups, a concrete patio, outdoor furniture, and a privacy fence.
Unique Lodging: For those without camping gear, the campground offers two themed accommodations—The Griswold, a vacation movie-themed RV that sleeps six, and the Tiny House, a Looney Tunes-inspired retreat with a full kitchen and space for six guests.
