Surveyor Recreation Site

Surveyor Recreation Site offers a true escape into the heart of Oregon’s wilderness. This primitive BLM campground is defined by its profound isolation, providing a tranquil retreat for those looking to unplug. Set at an elevation of 5,159 feet, the site is surrounded by a majestic old-growth Douglas fir forest, creating a serene atmosphere that feels miles away from the modern world.

The campground is compact, featuring just five campsites, which ensures a quiet and intimate experience for visitors. Facilities are basic to maintain the natural integrity of the area, though the site does include an ADA-accessible restroom and a seasonal spring. As part of the Klamath Basin Birding Trail, the location is a premier destination for bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts hoping to catch a glimpse of the region's diverse fauna.

This site is best suited for tent campers and those who enjoy a rugged, off-the-grid experience. Because it offers no hookups and is classified as primitive, it is ideal for individuals or small groups who are well-prepared for self-sufficient camping. Whether you are hitting the local hiking trails or spending your morning birding, Surveyor Recreation Site is a perfect base for authentic outdoor exploration.
