About
Butler Bar Campground is a primitive Forest Service campground located along the Wild and Scenic Elk River in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. With seven campsites featuring picnic tables and fire pits, this remote campground serves as a gateway to the Copper-Salmon Wilderness and Grassy Knob Wilderness areas. The location offers opportunities for day hiking, backpacking, swimming in the Elk River, and wildlife viewing. The campground is situated along the Wild Coast Scenic Bikeway, making it a popular stop for cyclists touring the Oregon coast. Access requires a 22-mile drive on Forest Road 5325 from Highway 101 near Port Orford. Campers should come prepared as there is no drinking water, no trash disposal (pack it out), and only vault toilet facilities available. The remote setting provides a true backcountry camping experience while still offering basic amenities like tables and fire pits.
Directions
From Port Orford, travel north on Highway 101 to Forest Road 5325. Turn right onto Forest Road 5325 and proceed for 22 miles to the campground.
