Public land it sits in

On Wilderness Atlas →

This campground sits inside Umpqua National Forest.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.

Natural features

Visitors to Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique landscapes of southwestern Oregon. Explosive geologic events have shaped the distinctive landscape on the nearly 1 million-acre forest, and provide spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources. Flowing adjacent to this campground is the North Umpqua River, a tributary of the Umpqua River, and a designated National Wild and Scenic River. Possessing remarkable values related to fisheries, culture, recreation and scenery, the North Umpqua River is renowned for its emerald green waters and fly fishing. Several designated wilderness areas provide undisturbed solitude for visitors. Encompassing 19,100 acres, Boulder Creek Wilderness offers dense old-growth forests and steep terrain that tower above Boulder Creek, which runs through the heart of the wilderness. Diverse ecosystems support a wide range of habitat for wildlife common to the area. From eagles and owls, to salamanders and salmon, these species, along with many others, depend on surrounding undeveloped wilderness, clean streams, and diverse forests to live.

Recreation

Fishing, hiking and swimming top the list of activities at this site. With wide open spaces, along with a ball field and horseshoe pits, this campground offers visitors plenty of recreational opportunities. A forested bank and mountainous backdrop to the North Umpqua River is a perfect setting for both swimmers braving its cold, refreshing waters, and for anglers fishing for rainbow, steelhead and cutthroat trout. A picnic shelter and large grill provide the perfect setting for gathering after a day of activity or relaxation.
