## Overview

 Want to camp? Camping season is generally May-September, with Alder Glen and Elk Bend remaining open through the weekend following General Western Oregon Coast 2nd Season for elk. During months with reduced sunlight, potable water may be turned off. Be prepared to bring your own wash and drinking water. Reserve a site at one of our four campgrounds on [recreation.gov][1] or pay when you arrive for non-reserved campsites using the [Recreation.gov Mobile App][2]. You must download before you reach the site since there is no cell reception in the drainage. A place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the electronic age. Fan Creek is one of the Bureau of Land Managements middle campgrounds within the Nestucca River Recreation Area. The campground sits along the Nestucca River National Back Country Byway and newly designated [Nestucca Wild and Scenic River][3] .

The Best Camping Near Willamina, Oregon

There is a long-term campground host who lives in this camp. Since it's first-come first-served it may be hard to get a spot on weekends, but it's nice, generally quiet.

It's a small camp, which helps keep it quiet. There's water at the entrance of camp, and a clean vault toilet near the middle. The river runs along the camp too.

Near water, no hookups, great for camping

Great camp sites, spaced out pretty decently. Fire pits, picnic tables, a paved loop, pit toilet, and potable water all on site. The noise from the river helps cover up most of the sound from the neighbors, but the closeness to the road means engine noise and headlights flashing your camp at 2am. The river access is a bit hard unless you get one of the few camp sites on the bank.

Highly recommend this as a quick camping trip for a few days or a night. Don't expect the isolation of the great outdoors, but lots of tall trees and river sounds make for a peaceful place to kick back.

Lovely stay, simple and easy
