About
Nestled on a river terrace beneath a canopy of old-growth Douglas fir and western red cedar, Cedar Creek Campground offers an intimate forest camping experience in the heart of Umpqua National Forest. The campground consists of 9 single sites and 1 double site, each equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and tent pad. The setting along Brice Creek provides excellent opportunities for swimming in the creek's pools, fishing, and photography. The surrounding area features diverse recreation options including the popular Brice Creek Trail, which winds 5.7 miles through a scenic rocky canyon with small waterfalls and old-growth forest. Berry picking is productive in late summer, and the area sees moderate use, making it easier to find a site than busier campgrounds. Mountain biking trails are also accessible nearby. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets but no potable water. Campers must filter or treat water from Brice Creek or bring their own supply. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. As of 2026, payment is cashless only via the Forest Service's Scan & Pay system.
Directions
From Cottage Grove, OR, travel east on Row River Road 2400 for 19 miles to Forest Road 2470. Turn right on County Road 2470 and continue for 4 miles along Brice Creek to Cedar Creek Campground on the left.
