Off-highway vehicle enthusiasts will find Winom Creek Campground positioned as a staging area for extensive trail networks throughout the Umatilla National Forest. The US Forest Service operates this drive-in facility 22 miles southeast of Ukiah via Forest Road 52, accessible through a winding, narrow route that requires careful navigation.
Three large group sites accommodate RVs, trailers, and multiple vehicles, while a couple of more secluded spots work for tent camping. The campground includes vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, though no drinking water is available on-site. Campers should expect the sound of engines and ongoing OHV activity, as the facility sits at the heart of a designated motorized recreation area with hundreds of miles of connecting trails. The season runs from Memorial Day through November, with reservations accepted for those planning group outings.
