About
Hobo Camp Campground is a small, four-campsite roadside camp tucked along Forest Service Road 2470 in the Umpqua National Forest. The campground sits on both sides of the road, offering a low-key setting ideal for a relaxing weekend getaway. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit, and there is one group site with two picnic tables and a large fire pit. A short winding trail leads from the campground to the rocky shore of Brice Creek, while nearby Hobo Creek provides opportunities for exploration and photography. Cedar Creek Campground, Lund Park Campground, and Brice Creek Trailhead are just down the road and offer access to Brice Creek Trail #1403. This is a primitive, pack-it-out campground with a vault toilet but no potable water, no trash service, and no hookups. Water can be filtered or treated from nearby creek sources. Dogs are allowed but must be leashed (6 feet max) during the day and confined at night. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and maximum stay is 14 days.
Directions
From Cottage Grove, OR, travel east on Row River Road 2400 for 19 miles to Brice Creek Road 2470. Turn right on County Road 2470 and continue for 7.5 miles. Hobo Camp is located on both sides of the road.
