Buck Creek Forest Camp And Trailhead

Buck Creek Forest Camp And Trailhead in Oregon. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 790 public campsites we map in Oregon.

Located on the western side of the Eagle Cap Wilderness and very close to the wilderness boundary, the Buck Creek Campground/Trailhead was built to meet the needs of both wilderness trail users and overnight campers. After crossing the Buck Creek Bridge off the North Fork Catherine Creek Road, the narrow dirt road travels through isolated forest and towering rock cliffs to the combination campground and trailhead.
