About
Falcon Creek Campground is a single-site primitive campground located in a secluded stand of old growth Douglas fir trees above Falcon Creek, a tributary of upper Jackson Creek in Oregon's Umpqua National Forest. The site offers a rare opportunity for solitude seekers wanting to escape more crowded developed campgrounds. This free, first-come first-served campground has minimal amenities: a vault toilet is provided, but there is no potable water and no garbage services. Campers must bring all water and pack out all trash. The maximum vehicle length is 22 feet, making this unsuitable for larger RVs. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed (6 feet max) during the day and confined at night. The campground is accessed via a network of forest roads starting from the town of Tiller. From Forest Road 28 (South Umpqua Road), take Road 29 along Jackson Creek for approximately 17 miles, then turn onto FS Road 2947 and continue about 2 miles to FS Road 2947-300. The campsite is on the right side of the 300 spur road.
Directions
From Canyonville, OR (exit 98), take NW 1st Street, turn right onto Main St, then left onto SE 3rd St/OR-227 (Tiller Trail Hwy). Follow OR-227 approximately 23 miles to Tiller. Before crossing the bridge, turn left onto Douglas County Road #46, which becomes South Umpqua Road/FS Road 28. Travel approximately 5 miles to Road 29 (Jackson Creek) and continue for approximately 17 miles to FS Road 2947. Stay on 2947 for approximately 2 miles to FS Road 2947-300. Turn right on the 300 spur; the campsite is on the right.
