We stayed at one of the RV sites with our family which would have had enough room for our tent as well! Beautiful location right beside the river. Perfect launching pad for our boating excursion where we hired a fishing guide. We caught a 25lb salmon!!! As well as 3 medium sized salmon and a steelhead. Also hooked an 8ft sturgeon!! Got him on video breeching twice!! It was incredible!! We cut him loose but it was insane to see such a monster leap from the river! The water was great to swim in too. Major highlight was the family and community vibe. There was an event to help support the fire fighters. Cotton candy, bbq, and a fiddle player!! Kids were riding bikes and power wheels around the camps. I don't have kids myself but my heart melted seeing all these families making memories together. Hot showers which were surprisingly free! Clean bathrooms. On site mini mart. And although we didn't stay in the cabins, they looked perfect for warm nights playing cards on the porch. We're going back in two months, we loved it so much!Nearby activities: We caught monster salmon and even hooked an 8ft sturgeon but cut him loose.Safety: Kids were able to play freely. Cars drove very slow around the grounds.Walkability: River was a short walk away. Bathrooms were central and showers were at the entrance

A lot of people smile and are polite. But today I experienced the best service and assistance that I received in more than the five past years. Thank you Cougar Lane manager and staff.Nearby activities: Beautiful facilities and outdoor walking, hiking, fishing and calm.

This restaurant was amazing, the service was fabulous and everyone was nice and welcoming. The food got there in less than 5 minutes, it was nice and hot and well put together. The taste of it all was exemplary and tasty. The vibe of the place was amazing with a nice view and cool cabin vibes. With decent pricing, I would recommend this establishment to everyone to give a try.

Refused service because I was early , manager was very rude with no one around,turned nice guy when people entered the office. Was willing to break policy , felt like extortion. People be careful with this place . This may be headed to the courts. That's how bad it was . Very rude and unprofessional staff.

GREAT BBQ I feel the Best deal on the menu is the Rogue River Sampler (large portions enough for 2 people). A bit spicy but very good. The Brisket was outstanding and the sides very good as well. The restaurant sits on the banks and overlooks the Rogue River. Nice view. A beautiful drive following the Rogue River from highway 101 Gold Beach Oregon up to Agness Oregon. DO NOT drive to Agness from I-5 in the late fall, winter or early spring.

We stopped here for lunch as part of the Jerry's Jeb boat ride. Both the Jebel ride and the stop at cougar Lane laws were amazing... For sure make sure you don't pass up on the cobbler.

Super clean and neat rest stop. Easy to access bathrooms. Food was excellent. Nice people, very helpful with directions and tourist ideas. Gas expensive as to be expected is such a remote location but nice to have it available if you are running low. Beautiful views from deck while you eat; a few annoying yellow jackets.

We had lunch at Cougar as part of a Jet Boat trip. The food and service were top notch, organized, and brought right to our table on the patio. If you are coming on the on Jet Boat, be prepared for good food and service.I had the BBQ plate that included ribs, pulled pork, and brisket, along with slaw, beans, corn bread, and watermelon. The meat was lightly smoked and served with sauces on the side which is a nice way to go. The sauces included spicy and sweet, both were good with my preference being the spicy, though I ate about half the meat sans the sauce. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, and the pork and brisket were done just right.The kids went for the quesadilla and fries and both looked good.

Let's talk BBQ - this is it. This is THE spot in Oregon for BBQ. Get their BBQ tray with a side of "spicy" sauce (not spicy, just extra flavorful), and enjoy all the little sides that come along on the tray. (HOW was the cole slaw so good??) If after a perfect meal (seriously, open a location in PDX pls) you want a lil sweet treat, split their pie with two scoops of ice cream with a special someone and taste that brown sugar and berry pie goodness. I'm dead.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the deck where the restaurant is.

What a hidden gem. From the store to the food, this is a fantastic establishment. The staff are always so friendly and willing to go above and beyond. The BBQ is worth the drive.

This place exceeded my expectations. The room and building photography made it look sort of dated, but that's not the case. It feels very new, it's clean, the staff is nice, the food was great, and the location was beautiful. I was with a group of five motorcyclist.

We were a group of 5 motorcyclists. It was great. Clean, quiet, convenient and idyllic. One negative: our 6th guy got COVID-19 and couldn't come. He called 3 days in advance to cancel his reservation but Cougar Lane management requires 7 days advance notice for a cancelation. The restaurant and drinks were very good

Ok so we've made this part of an annual road trip. I used to come here with my grandparents as a child and it's just as amazing as it was years ago. I highly recommend camping here. The food has gone down a little but tonight I had the nachos and they were very good. The kids said the chicken nuggets were really good too. The family atmosphere for camping is hard to beat!

First time here with my family and it was great. There was a wedding party ahead of us so we thought it would be quite a wait for our food, but it came within 10 minutes and it was SO good.!! The service was excellent, his name was Noah and he went above and beyond to meet our special needs, (my mother is 97 ).The drive is well worth it.
