Cave Creek Campground

About

Cave Creek Campground sits beneath towering old-growth conifers along Cave Creek in Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve. Located 16 miles up Highway 46 from Cave Junction, the campground provides easy access to the cave tours just four miles away. The 17 tent-only sites are designed for a primitive camping experience in the lush forests of the Illinois Valley. Each site includes a fire ring, picnic table, and a small paved parking area. Vault toilets and seasonal potable water are available throughout the campground. There are no hookups, showers, or trash service, so campers must pack out all garbage and store food in vehicles or bear-proof containers. The narrow, winding 8-mile approach road makes this campground unsuitable for RVs or trailers. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. with no generators permitted. Pets must remain on a 6-foot leash and are prohibited on trails. Stays are limited to 14 consecutive nights and 30 days annually per camper.
