Buck Creek Forest Camp and Trailhead

Buck Creek Forest Camp and Trailhead offers a true wilderness experience for those looking to disconnect in the Pacific Northwest. Located on the western edge of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, this site is uniquely positioned to serve as a gateway for hikers and backpackers while providing a quiet spot for overnight tent camping. The journey to the camp is an adventure in itself, featuring a scenic drive across the Buck Creek Bridge and through a landscape defined by isolated forests and towering rock cliffs.

Because this is a primitive federal campground managed by the USFS, there are no hookups available. The site is best suited for tent campers and self-sufficient outdoor enthusiasts who are comfortable with a more rustic experience. The surrounding terrain is particularly popular with locals during the warmer months, serving as a prime location for seasonal mushroom foraging and berry picking.

Whether you are staging for a deep trek into the wilderness or simply looking for a quiet place to pitch a tent under the forest canopy, Buck Creek provides a direct connection to Oregon’s rugged high country. Please plan to arrive prepared for primitive conditions, as this site offers a peaceful retreat for those who appreciate the raw beauty of the forest.
