Small but lovely

There are only three spots in this cozy little campground, but I ended up being the first and only one here on a Tuesday in July. There are little trails to explore, but I took advantage of the empty campground and took a nap in my hammock in one of the day use areas on the other side of the creek.

There is one vault toilet, no hookups, no water, and it would be a massive struggle to turn around a trailer or RV. No cell service. None of the sites border the creek, and none of them are particularly private, but they were all clean, and the creek is loud and pretty.

Very small camp site with limited RV sites.

3 Campsites , fire ring and tables but NO hookups , small areas, RV up to maybe 15 feet in ONE spot. NO drinkable water on site. One vault toilet. on side of a hill so terrace camping. Running creek by but steep banks and no swimming holes. VERY quiet and out in the Woods. No camp host. Road is dirt and no paved camp sites for RV.

Campsite is along the Middle Fork trail and has some great hiking, biking, walking and fishing along the middle fork of the Willamette River. Fishing is mainly Rainbow and Brook Trout. Please check OR fishing regs as these change from year to year depending on fish count up river. There are some nice swimming areas but also know the water is so cold! it is coming off snow packs out of the sisters. Warning – NO Cell phone service for any carriers. No updates for wild fire danger. Please check notification boards at local larger campsites in the area daily for warnings. Cell services does not start until around Packard campground somewhere around 15 miles away back towards Oakridge.

Warning – Cougar and bear sightings, lockup food, watch your kids at all times.

Open all year but September to March Weather advisor ! can have heavy snow during winter.
