For over four decades, Galice Resort has stood as a cornerstone of recreation and hospitality along the wild and scenic Rogue River. Owned and operated by the Thomason Family since 1983, the resort reflects a deep-rooted passion for the outdoors and a commitment to preserving the spirit of Southern Oregon’s river culture. What began as a modest river outpost has grown into a beloved destination for rafters, anglers, and adventurers from all over the world.

Located just 20 minutes west of Grants Pass, the resort is tucked beneath towering old-growth forests where the fresh scent of pine, Douglas fir, spruce, and cedar signals the beginning of a slower, simpler pace of life. Over the years, the Thomason Family has poured their hearts into building a place where visitors can connect with nature, celebrate milestones, and make lifelong memories. Whether it’s launching a rafting trip, enjoying a riverside meal, or staying overnight in a cabin, guests find themselves returning year after year—drawn by the unique mix of wilderness charm and warm hospitality.

Galice Resort has also served as a gateway to the Rogue River’s legendary whitewater runs and historic trail systems. It’s a place where generations of outfitters have launched multi-day adventures and where countless visitors have experienced the power and peace of the river.

The resort offers year-round accommodations with three spacious lodges and a selection of cabins available throughout all seasons. From May through September, the resort comes alive with seasonal offerings that include a riverside store, a vibrant food truck court, and live music events that create a festive yet relaxed ambiance.

The resort serves as a base camp for visitors looking to enjoy the many recreational opportunities the Rogue River corridor provides. The area is renowned for world-class whitewater rafting, salmon and steelhead fishing, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing, making it a natural draw for adventurers and families alike.

The resort is perfectly positioned as the gateway to one of Oregon’s most iconic wilderness experiences. Just upstream from Grave Creek, Galice is the last stop for many rafters, hikers, and outfitters before they enter the Wild and Scenic section, and often the first place they return to after a multi-day river trip. During the summer months, the resort becomes a central hub for tourism traffic, offering comfortable lodging, food, entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere just minutes from key trailheads and boat launches. Its riverside location makes it an ideal basecamp for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.

Offering Includes:
- 12.8 acres/10 parcels, 3 lodges, 7 cabins, general store, shop, and supporting infrastructure.
- All FF&E to support the store and lodging business + Intellectual property, including website, social media, branding, and customer lists

Galice Resort holds a grandfathered permit to rebuild its restaurant, which was lost to a fire in June 2021. This permit is particularly significant given the resort's location within the Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River, an area subject to strict federal and local development regulations. Additionally prior to the fire in 2021, the restaurant showed a consistent ability to generate income (see financials section).
Under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, new commercial developments or expansions within designated "wild" river corridors are generally prohibited to preserve the natural character of these areas.
The grandfathered permit for Galice Resort's restaurant allows for the reconstruction of the facility on its original footprint, maintaining its historical use and significance. Securing such a permit today would be highly challenging, if not impossible, due to the stringent restrictions on new developments in the Wild and Scenic corridor. Therefore, this permit represents a unique and valuable asset, offering a rare opportunity to reestablish a commercial presence.
