Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, typically from May through September or October. Road access varies by location, with some sites requiring navigation along forest service roads.

Train noise appears in several reviews, with tracks running along the opposite side of the river from some campgrounds. Wildlife sightings, including elk, are mentioned in visitor feedback. The proximity to mountain biking trails makes the region particularly popular for outdoor recreation, with Oakridge and Westfir considered the "mountain biking capital of the Northwest" according to visitor reports.

    Contorta Flat Campground

    Surprisingly nice

    Just passing through and found this campground. Didn’t expect much, but was pleasantly surprised. Clean pit toilets. Right on Crescent Lake. Had the whole area to ourselves. Very quiet and beautiful.

    Swampy Lakes Sno-Park/Trailhead

    This is a dispersed camping site at a trailhead with a pit toilet

    Swampy Lakes Sno-Park is a winter trailhead for cross-country skiing and is used as a mountain bike trailhead in the summer. It is a paved parking area with a pit toilet. There is no water and it is fairly close to the highway. In winter it’s not advisable to camp here since campers interfere with plowing. Nearby are two Sno-Parks ( Wanoga and Kapka) which are used by snowmobilers and are better set up for winter use since the parking is in the middle of the lot and snowplows can get around overnighters.

    Timpanogas Lake Campground

    Be respectful

    There are homes being built nearby, a few trucks with campers come through, but nobody puts up tents. I didnt realize this was an actual campground until I checked this app after I was here. Very beautiful if you don't mind bird poop

    Doolittle Butte

    Great stars

    Nice big lot. Beautiful views of stars on a clear night. Very remote. Climb an easy dirt road back a few miles. A few deep potholes but nothing too technical.

    Princess Creek Campground

    Many Lakeside sites

    This is a decently well maintained campground, the road in and through is severely potholed and I wouldn’t recommend a big rig, but I did see one guy park at least 35’ class A.

    Vault toilets, no water or electricity. Sites are not all level, some are not RV friendly, but most are. Host is doing a fab job keeping the grounds clean and tidy.

    Many sites back right up to the lake. Many back up to the road others is a bit of traffic noise.

    Salt Creek Backwoods

    Salt Creek backwoods

    This spot was actually an accidental find but worked out great because we were not able to turn around on the tight road we found ourselves on. It opened up tremendously and gave us great grounds to camp on for a few nights. Close enough to a river that requires hiking if you’re up for that kind of adventure. There was little to no traffic noise from the hwy and no other campers around for days. Clear starts for start gazing at night.

    Salt Creek Backwoods

    Just Forest

    We actually pulled in this part of the forest wanting to park at the “hideaway” spot but someone was already posted up there. That would have been a really cute place to camp BUT we drove farther. I really don’t recommend this spot for bigger rigs but we were able to get ours back here (40 ft total) Kind of no turn around options and driving forward was all our only choice at that point…to be honest the drive made me nervous. It was a tight dirt road but once we found a spot it was cleared pretty good. Had plenty of room and someone was back here not too long ago…they had a little campfire setup with log stumps. Probably wouldn’t come back unless I had to but we did stay tucked away back here for a few days.

    Black Canyon Campground - Willamette NF

    Pleasant Stay

    We needed a spot to stay for the night and after driving to a few others that were (reserve online only) closed we rolled the dice and headed towards this one. It was late and dark but we pulled in in hopes that they had some openings. THEY DID!! We didn’t do much driving around before pulling into a spot but I with we had. We pulled into #4, one of the first available and I DONT recommend any of the first few slots because they sit right next to the highway and that was annoying but our own fault. If I had to redo I’d stay in the 20’s or 30’s because they are closer in where it’s much quieter and those spots back up to a river…super cute! The restrooms were very clean and I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to public restrooms…it was good. All in all the park is very maintained, clean and the staff is great!! Would definitely stay again!

    Crane Prairie Campground

    Nice campground with bad pit toilets

    Family-friendly campground on a reservoir with boat and fishing access. It is pretty, but can be really loud with lots of kids and people. Sites are a decent size. Pit toilets are extremely stinky in fall (when we're usually passing through), bad even for pit toilets. Despite the downsides, we have stayed here for 2-3 days in fall for many years.
