About This Location

Discover Dolly Varden, a year-round USFS campground in Oregon offering peaceful creek-side camping and direct access to the Fall Creek National Recreation Trail.

Nestled along the scenic Fall Creek drainage in the Pacific Northwest, Dolly Varden offers a serene escape for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in Oregon's lush forests. Sitting at an elevation of 999 feet, this federal campground serves as the perfect gateway to the 13.7-mile Fall Creek National Recreation Trail, making it an ideal basecamp for hikers and nature lovers who enjoy exploring rugged, forested terrain.

The campground provides a rustic, back-to-basics experience with five tent-only sites. Three of these sites are located directly along the tranquil creek on the north side of Forest Road 18, while the remaining two sites are walk-in only, situated across the road. Because there are no hookups available, it is best suited for tent campers who are comfortable with a more primitive, off-the-grid experience.

Operated by the USFS, Dolly Varden is open year-round, allowing visitors to enjoy the changing seasons of the Oregon wilderness. Whether you are looking for a quiet spot to listen to the water or a jumping-off point for a long day of hiking, this site offers a simple, peaceful retreat into nature.
