Drive-in access makes Blue Pool Campground accessible to most RVs and trailers, though the forested setting requires navigating forest roads. The Middle Fork Ranger District manages this established campground within Willamette National Forest, operating from mid-May through September. Basic amenities include drinking water, restrooms, and trash service, with alcohol permitted on-site.

The no-pets policy sets this campground apart from many forest service locations. Creek proximity provides water access, while the forested terrain offers natural shade. Walk-in and hike-in options accommodate tent campers seeking sites away from vehicle traffic. Campers can find [places to camp around Oakridge](https://thedyrt.com/camping/oregon/near/oakridge) for additional forest service options in the area. Book early for summer weekends when forest service campgrounds fill quickly.

This 24-site campground is conveniently located adjacent to Oregon State Highway 58 in an old growth forest alongside Salt Creek.Fishing and swimming are popular activities. A large picnic area along the creek offers picnic tables, a large grassy area for both passive and active recreation. One-half mile east of the campground on Highway 58 is the [McCredie Day Use Area &amp; Hot Springs][1]. The site was formally developed as a hot springs resort historically; currently the hot springs area is unimproved. Caution should be exercised when using the hot springs, water temperature is very high in the pools.
