North Fork Catherine Creek Group Campground

Nestled in the heart of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, North Fork Catherine Creek Group Campground offers a serene escape into the southeast Wallowa Mountains. This federal campground is uniquely positioned along the banks of the North Fork Catherine Creek, surrounded by a lush, mixed-conifer forest that teems with local wildlife and native plant species. At an elevation of 4,121 feet, the site provides a refreshing mountain atmosphere for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the Pacific Northwest wilderness.

The campground serves as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly those planning to explore the nearby Eagle Cap Wilderness. With two wilderness trailheads within reach, including one located just a mile away, visitors have direct access to some of the region's most scenic hiking trails. The site is designed for group camping and accommodates both RV and tent campers looking for a rustic experience, featuring essential amenities such as vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables.

Because this is a primitive, dry-camping facility with no utility hookups, it is best suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy a moderate level of outdoor adventure. Whether you are planning a group excursion or a base for your next hiking expedition, this year-round site provides a quiet, natural setting for your mountain getaway.
