"We've driven by this park SO many times driving from the Willamette Valley to Central Oregon. Being right next to the highway we've never really considered it as a "get-away" place. "
"Some really beautiful sites next to the lake. Easy access to the lake from pretty much all of the campground. Great boat launch. The lake was warm and had a nice shallow edge for the kids."
$21 - $40 / night

The site is tucked away and quiet."

"The weather did not cooperate on this trip...which is Oregon. There is a big slope from the parking pad to the table/fire pit."

"Probably one of my favorite places in Oregon.
Maybe it is the lack of visits that keeps me longing to go back here, but the water was more blue than the Carribean, just 30 degree colder."
$25 / night
"This is a decent campground right off the highway. You will incur noise from the cars on the highway, even on the sites closer to the river."
"Some have full parking pads for two vehicles, but mostly parking is dirt next to the drive lane. Spacious sites for the size of the campground."
$22 - $68 / night

ScoutThis was a last minute choice since I didn’t realize Shellburg Falls Rec area was closed still. I got a spot right on the Santiam River. Half hour drive to Silver Falls state park. Grabbed a shower and kicked back watching the river. Great spot!
GuideQuiet dispersed camping with a few options along NF-2610. Had 4 cars pass by camp in 3 days. Lots of old logging trails to explore on foot. A little buggy but more flies than ‘squitos. Did not need bug spray.
RangerThis spot is just off the main road and is easy to get to. The GPS coordinates listed here put you under the power line, which isn't ideal. If you continue to follow the road down, it will go down the hill via a small switchback where you will find a better spot with a single tree across from a farm. I camped here for 2 nights, and it was quiet with the occasional passing farm truck. This area is all BLM grasslands. There were a few more spots down further, but had a lot of trash at the site. Overall, I would camp there again. Temps were 50s at night and 70s during the day. Wind at our site was not bad, but I think on top of the hill it was bad at times.
ScoutThe campground is relaxed and quiet. I was in site #2 . The hike to the hot springs is about 30 minutes and if you stay overnight there you only have a couple people up at the springs in the morning.
GuideAll of the campsites on the rt hand side of the road (all the good ones) are permanently blocked off. If you have any expectations of camping Along the river as some of the pictures suggest then you'll be sorely disappointed. Even if you walk to the river it’s about a 100ft drop down to it.
TravelerCamp Creek, built in 1936, is one of the first CCC campgrounds in Oregon. Although not preserved, you can still see and use some of the original stone fireplaces. Our 25' Class C is bit tight for some of the campsites, but over-all there are many fine creek-side sites. We stop here a couple of times a year for an overnight rest, finding it more pleasant and quieter than some of the better known lakeside campgrounds nearby. Be aware that this campgrounds charm lies in its age, so many of the sites are not particularly level.
Still it is well kept and we will continue to go back.
TravelerEverything felt very small and close together. Just not for us but doesn't mean it wouldn't work for someone else. Did have trash bins fire rings,restrooms on site basic essentials.
TravelerGreat spot to explore small little camp sites but provide enough privacy. The last two times we have been out there the campground has been open but it says it's closed on here. Not sure if it just needs to be updated or if it's not supposed to be open? We stayed somewhere else last visit because all the sites were full. Bathrooms have not been unlocked each time and no phone service available.
TravelerWe loved this location! We pulled our car up right next to our tent. It was located right by the creek(river) with easy access to the water. Plenty of little trails to explore throughout. There was a bathroom on site that was actually really clean considering (bring your own toilet paper) this would be a great site for a family camping trip or multiple families as there are several sites that kinda intertwine but still are very separate and have some degree of privacy. We plan to return here in the future we really enjoyed it here. Be prepared for zero phone service just fyi. We have T-Mobile.
