About
Black Canyon Campground rests next to the Middle Fork of the Willamette River in the Willamette National Forest, heavily shaded by towering hemlock, cedar, and Douglas-fir. The 75 campsites are spread through a mature forest offering a cool respite from summer heat, with some sites positioned directly along the river. Each site has a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water from hand pumps are provided throughout the campground. Recreation options are abundant. A 1-mile interpretive nature trail loops through the campground. Lookout Point Lake is less than a mile away with a boat ramp for fishing and boating. The campground sits within the Winberry Trail Area, with Tire Mountain Trail available for mountain biking and horseback riding, and Clover Patch Trail for hiking. The campground is located directly off Oregon State Highway 58, about 8 miles west of Oakridge. Of the 75 sites, 19 are reservable through Recreation.gov with the remainder available first-come, first-served. Large RVs are not recommended due to limited trailer parking and site configurations.
