Located along the Hurricane Creek riparian area, this Hurricane Creek Campground offers 3 tent/small trailer sites and 8 tent-only sites. Three of the campsites are now accessible for people with disabilities. The access road to this campground is rough and not recommended for low clearance RVs and trailers. Please click this link to proceed to the Hurricane Creek Trail #1807 webpage.
From Enterprise, Oregon on Main Street (Highway 82) turn right on Hurricane Creek Road/ South River Street and go about 7.5 miles to campground; Entrance is signed on left side of road just after Forest boundary. From Joseph, Oregon turn west on Wallowa Avenue towards the airport. Turn left on Hurricane Creek road at the Hurricane Creek Grange.

Did a quick drive through on a Saturday morning.
Pro's:
Very pretty setting
Nice creek view at some of the sites
Cons:
Super busy
Steep one lane road to get to the camp
Do not take a trailer/Rv into this area
Very unfriendly campers
Over used
Overall:
At one time this was most likely an amazing place. Many out of the campers appeared from out of state and did not understand the negative impact of spreading out and acting like it was a city.
Got a spot at the last-est of minutes (tho it was shoulder season). Fairly flat, there was a toilet (didn't use), some tables, etc.
You might find the creek loud I guess but that's what happens if ur camping beside a creek 🤷♀️ if you don't like that, go somewhere else. Plenty of people like the white noise so not a detractor, just a thing to be aware of.
