Camp:
The entire Camper's Flat campground is ours! Unlike Sand Prairie of last year, we really do have waterfront property along the west bank of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River.
The Middle Fork Willamette Trail starts at the South end of the campground and runs along the river for over 30 miles!
Bathrooms: Yes Bike tools: Yes Valet parking: No Maps: Yes
Water: Yes Cell service: No, 35 min away
Directions to Camper's Flat: Click for Goog Map - 22 miles south of Oakridge, about 53 min.
From Oakridge: Exit I-5 heading east on Highway 58 towards Oakridge, OR. On the east side of Oakridge, just past mile marker 37, take a right onto Kitson Springs Road. In approximately half a mile, take a right onto Forest Service Road 21. Continue on the 21 Road to mile post 20 and the locked gate to the campground will be on the right.
Trail:
Camp is at the beginning of the Middle Fork Willamette Trail! There are MANY other trails in the area if we want to drive for hiking or biking.
Watersports:
Some watersports are prohibited. Jumping in the river at the campsite is encouraged. Canoes and Kayaks can put in on Hills Creek Reservoir about 10 miles/30 minutes away at Bingham Boat Launch or CT Beach. **I am bringing 4 folding Oru Kayaks!
