The Best Camping Near Beaver, Oregon

There are many spots right on the creek. A full time camp host sells cheap wood. This is the best of the BLM campgrounds on this stretch. The most coveted site is directly creekside, and would hold 1-4 tents. There's a cute fishing pier attached to an accesible trail. Easy as pie, and fun for the whole family. We had a great time.

Lovely first-come-first-served car camp

Private spot
