There are 14 walk-in sites and a central parking area. There are no reservations and it's first come, first served. Sites are restricted to 8 people and 2 vehicles per site. Amenities: Vault toilets. With respect to the hike, pack everything out. There is water at the campground, but none on the hike ... bring what you need.
From Unity, Oregon travel west in town on Highway 26 to South Fork Burnt River Road (County Road 600); Turn left on the South Fork Burnt River Road an go about 7 miles to Forest Boundary; At the Forest Boundary, the becomes Forest Road 6005; Continue on Forest Road 6005 for about 2 miles to campground (you will go past South Fork and Stevens campgrounds); The campground entrance is on left side of Forest Road 6005.
Nice hike that's not so steep along the river. If you wish for steep, it's there also.
A great little family place in nature, to build a campfire, while listening to the creek waters flow, some quaint little spots that one can picnic at a couple tables, that were grand. Lots of area for easy access, should the small campground be crowded during summer months.
Beautiful large campsites, beautiful forest. There are some cons: you can hear the highway, the camp gets super crowded on weekends, and outhouse TP does not get refilled often it seems. That said, it's worth going, the trees are magnificent
Gorgeous grounds and hiking trails. The creek is crystal clear and you can see all types of trout. No fishing there but still fun to look. Fairly quiet, can hear SOME road noise depending on your camping spot. A lot of fun and it’s only $10 a night. Can’t beat it.
Such a great place to go hiking with little kids. It’s mostly flat except when you decide to go off the path and closer to the river, which is very easy climb down.
Going close to the river and off the path could be dangerous for little kids, they should be aided down and around the rocks.
The sound of the water going down into the rocks is loud, therapeutical, so relaxing and beautiful.
There’s so many trees and green foliage that’s a delight for the senses.
Our red head golden retriever loves to climb in and out of the river and swim in the running cold water. It’s so much fun watching him enjoy the water.
This is one of my most favorite spots to do a little exercise and relax next to the river.
