Lower Camp Creek Forest Camp sits within the Malheur National Forest, offering seven sites including several pull-throughs that accommodate RVs up to 37 feet. The campground maintains good spacing between sites and provides standard amenities including fire rings, picnic tables, and well-stocked pit toilets.
Camp Creek runs adjacent to the sites, with water levels typically high during spring from snowmelt runoff. The forested setting provides natural shade, while the drive-in access makes the campground accessible year-round. Campers can find additional campgrounds near Prairie City for extended stays in the region.
