National Forest
Willamette National Forest
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 & Hot Springs. 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.

TravelerNot crowded; no running water
We had our choice of first come first serve campsites. A beautiful place with spacious campsites.
There is no running water as the campground water system has been permanently dismantled. You can get water from the creek, though.
GuideRelaxing
Great place to relax, enjoy hiking trails, nap to the sound of the river and enjoy a roomy site.
TravelerBeautiful and relaxing
We stayed at site 19 and loved it! I think it’s the best spot in the campground. Decent privacy and good proximity to bathroom and water.
The campground water is potable but very salty, mineral-y, and overall weird tasting. Fine for showering, but I’d recommend picking up water elsewhere for drinking and cooking.
You can hear the highway and train at night, but it’s not too loud for a heavy sleeper. The swimming hole is very close and pretty nice! Tons of water moving in early August. We saw some people floating down the river, but we stayed close to shore.
No cell service (Verizon), so bring cash to pay for your spot. $19 per night when we stayed
