Big Creek/Snowshoe Trailhead

Big Creek/Snowshoe Trailhead serves as a gateway to the rugged beauty of the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness. This federal site is a prime destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the expansive trail networks of the Pacific Northwest. The area is particularly popular for its direct access to Big Creek Trail #377, making it an ideal basecamp for both short day hikes and extended backcountry excursions.

The site is designed for those who enjoy a primitive camping experience, offering no hookups or modern facility amenities. In addition to tent and backcountry camping, the location features dedicated horse facilities, catering to equestrian travelers seeking a jumping-off point for wilderness adventures. The terrain is wild and natural, providing a true escape into the Oregon high country.

This campground is best suited for experienced tent campers, backpackers, and equestrians who are well-prepared for self-sufficient, primitive camping. Because it serves as a primary access point for the surrounding wilderness, it sees increased activity during big game hunting seasons. Whether you are looking to conquer the local trails or simply enjoy a quiet night under the stars, this trailhead offers a foundational experience in the heart of the wilderness.
