Beaver Dam Group Campground

About

Beaver Dam Group Campground offers a secluded camping experience along Beaver Dam Creek in the High Cascades area of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Located 22 miles east of Ashland via Dead Indian Memorial Highway, this semi-primitive group site sits within an old growth forest and accommodates up to 40 people across 4 campsites. The campground provides access to Beaver Dam Trail #1001, which explores both riparian habitat and old growth forest ecosystems. Nearby recreation includes the Pacific Crest Trail, Brown Mountain Trail, and Fish Lake Trail for hiking, while road cyclists can loop Forest Road 37 and Dead Indian Memorial Highway. Howard Prairie Lake is 10 miles away, offering boating, fishing, and swimming. The Howard Prairie Resort has a store, restaurant, and boat ramp. Bears frequent the area, so campers should maintain clean camps and store food in closed containers. Firewood should be obtained locally to prevent invasive species spread.
