Sharps Creek Recreation Site

Tucked away in the scenic foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Sharps Creek Recreation Site offers a true escape into the heart of the Pacific Northwest. This primitive BLM campground is steeped in the history of the Bohemia Mining District, providing a rugged and quiet atmosphere for those looking to disconnect from the modern world. Surrounded by dense forests and the winding creek, the site serves as a peaceful basecamp for explorers interested in the region's rich mining heritage.

While the site provides a back-to-basics experience, it is equipped with vault toilets to support your stay. The area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, featuring dedicated hiking and biking trails that traverse the lush, mountainous terrain. Because the campground is primitive and lacks hookups, it is best suited for self-sufficient tent campers and RV travelers who enjoy dry camping and do not require modern utility connections.

Visitors should plan ahead as cell reception is unavailable in the drainage, making it essential to download any necessary information before arrival. Whether you are seeking a quiet spot to pitch a tent or a secluded place to park your rig, Sharps Creek offers a year-round opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Oregon's wilderness.
