About
Happy Camp Campground is a small, primitive Forest Service campground located approximately one hour south of Paisley, Oregon in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Situated at an elevation of 5,289 feet along peaceful Dairy Creek, the campground features nine camping sites in a lightly-used setting. The stream flows through the middle of the campground, offering fishing opportunities for rainbow trout. All campsites include picnic tables and fire rings. The campground features one vault toilet but no drinking water on-site; potable water is available at Clear Springs Forest Camp, approximately 1.5 miles west on Forest Service Road 047. This is a pack-in, pack-out facility with no garbage receptacles. The campground includes historic picnic shelters built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, adding historical character to the site. Recreation opportunities include stream fishing, hiking on nearby trails, and horseshoe pits. The remote location and minimal development make this an ideal spot for campers seeking a quiet, backcountry experience in the national forest.
