About

Bird Track Springs Campground offers a peaceful riverside retreat along the Grande Ronde River in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The campground features 22 campsites set beneath towering ponderosa pines, providing shade and a serene forest atmosphere. Located less than 30 minutes from Interstate 84 via State Highway 244, the campground offers easy access while maintaining a natural setting along river-side farm land. The campground is particularly popular with birders and wildlife enthusiasts. Directly across Highway 244 is the Bird Track Interpretive Site, featuring a 1.2-mile main trail and five smaller spur trails that wind through cottonwood trees along the Grande Ronde River. The area attracts photographers and nature lovers during spring, summer, and fall, while snowshoers enjoy the trails in winter. Each campsite includes a picnic table, fire ring, and parking spur. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Campers should come prepared with their own water supply, as no potable water is available on-site. Vault toilets are provided. Quiet hours are enforced from 10pm to 6am.
