Scott Creek

6 Reviews

Scott Creek, near Chiloquin, Oregon, is a secluded campground that offers a simple yet inviting escape into nature. With designated sites nestled next to a charming creek, it’s a perfect spot for those looking to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors.

This campground is known for its peaceful atmosphere, making it a favorite among campers seeking solitude. Visitors have noted the clean and quiet environment, with one camper sharing, “It’s a little ways off the main road and feels a bit secluded.” While there are limited facilities—just a vault toilet—campers appreciate the simplicity and natural beauty surrounding them.

The access road can be a bit rough, so be prepared for a bumpy ride. Some campers have mentioned the road's condition, but those who make the trek are rewarded with a tranquil setting. If you’re a fan of wildlife, be ready for some company from the local mosquito population, as they can be quite abundant during the warmer months.

Scott Creek is a great base for exploring the Fremont-Winema National Forest, where you can hike, fish, or simply soak in the stunning scenery. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, this campground offers a straightforward camping experience that lets you connect with nature without the distractions of modern life.

Fremont-Winema National Forest

Scott Creek Campground is located 50 minutes southwest of Chemult, Oregon. This site lies off the beaten path and is an ideal camping destination if you want to relax in a serene and remote setting. A mix of conifers like lodgepole, ponderosa pines, and white firs shade the six campsites. You’ll find each site with a picnic table and fire ring. There is one vault toilet and an information board. Scott Creek flows peacefully through the north side of the campground and you may see a few small trout swimming in the creek. In the fall, this campground is popular amongst hunters.

Off the grid but easy to access.

It was first come, first served when I was there. What you expect from free USFS campsites. Fire rings.

Google will take you down some crazy roads. Look at the map before getting on the dirt road and choose the roads that are the straightest; those will get you there easiest. Panhandle rd on the north side of the creek will take you most of the way.

Awesome campground!

We had a great time camping at this free campground! Its secluded but pretty close to HWY 97, which is nice! There was a vault toilet there, but no other facilities so make sure to bring enough water, wipes, the whole 9 yards! We came the dat before hunting season opened so we got the last campsite of 6, as this camp seems to be popular for hunters!

Sitethe last site, didnt have #.

Not worth the drive in

We attempted to camp here for the night but after finally making it about a minute away from the mapped location we decided to turn back to find literally anything else. The drive in is a very bumpy road requiring you drive about 5 mph, turning what looks to be a short drive off the highway into about an hour plus excursion. The road never improves once you turn off the highway, it only narrows. If you want to be in the thick of it, or maybe need somewhere to a burry a body this is your place.

Off the beaten path ...

First word of advice - the gravel and dirt road is not well maintained. We had trouble with some sections of the road with large ruts and holes.

This campground is remote so if you are looking to be alone, this is the place.

Be prepared for mosquitoes, LOTS of mosquitos. 🦟🦟🦟🦟

private simple campground

Very nice,quiet, clean, and simple campground. plenty of available spots I’ve been out here twice and still haven’t seen another camper. Pit toilet available but no hookups. There is a neat little creek right by the campsites. It’s a little ways off the main road and feels a bit secluded.
