This 14 site campground is located in a beautiful, lush, old growth forest along Salmon Creek. The rocky gorge-like area creates two small beautiful waterfalls and several deep pools which reflect the clear blue-green waters. Wild thimbleberries and hazelnuts abound in the summer. This camp is a favorite recreation spot for local residents as well as some more distant travelers.
Five miles east of Oakridge, Oregon, along Salmon Creek. From the corner of Crestview Street and Oregon State Highway 58 (at the only traffic light along Highway 58 in Oakridge), travel north on Crestview Street over the railroad tracks for 0.2 miles. Bear right at the four-way intersection onto East 1st Street, through the center of Oakridge. Follow East 1st Street for approximately 1.1 miles out of town to the junction of Fish Hatchery Road (on your right). Here, East 1st becomes Forest Road 24, otherwise known as the Salmon Creek Road. Stay straight on Salmon Creek Road, and travel approximately 3.7 miles and the destination will be on your right.
