From Prospect, OR, travel north along Highway 62 about 6 miles and turn right onto Forest Road 60. Continue along Forest Road 60 about 12 miles to Huckleberry Campground.
No services, this is essentially dispursed camping. There are 5-6 "spots" there is no cell service, water, tolet or trash. Fire pits have also been removed. Expect to encounter bear in this area. Gravel access road is single lane. Plan on backing up to a wide spot if you come across another car. Direction signs are not the best, recommend self contained nav (map or offline GPS) no commercial picking and personal picking of berrys has strict rules. Exprect visitors if berrys are in season. ATVs are allowed here on the gravel roads. That said...there is no substitute for fresh picked Huckleberry's mixed in icecream or in your morning oatmeal.
The picnik tables are gone from years past. It's not really a campground anymore. The huckleberries werent as plentiful this year but still a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the valley. There is an Abundance of wildlife. Deer, Elk, and Black bear
They removed all the bathrooms, water pump,all the picnic tables and most of the fire pits.....they took the Huckleberry Campground sign down off the highway...its heartbreaking because our tribal people have been coming to this campground every year for well over 70 years. It has always been considered one of our Traditional gathering sites. I will continue to come to this place for the rest of my life to gather the berries because it's our Traditional gathering place, to me ,it is, and will continue to be "my home". I've been going there for almost 70 years.
Excellent place for huckleberries, there are no utilities and is not the most suitable place for camping. Aside from that it’s a beautiful area with huckleberries as far as the eye can see. There is also a small creek if you really need water(a filter would be recommended) or need to cool down.
