About
Located in the Wallowa Mountains at the edge of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Hurricane Creek Campground provides a rustic camping experience along the scenic Hurricane Creek riparian area. The campground features 11 sites total: 3 that can accommodate small trailers and 8 tent-only sites. Three sites have been designed for accessibility. The campground sits in a cool forest of fir and pine trees at approximately 5,000 feet elevation. While primitive in nature, each site includes a picnic table and fire pit. Vault toilets are provided, but campers must bring their own water as none is available on-site. The access road is rough and challenging, making it unsuitable for low clearance vehicles, large RVs, or trailers. Hurricane Creek Campground is a popular basecamp for hikers exploring the Eagle Cap Wilderness. The nearby Hurricane Creek Trailhead provides access to alpine lakes, mountain peaks, and opportunities to see mountain goats, bighorn sheep, deer, and elk. Heavy usage during peak summer months reflects its desirable location and proximity to exceptional wilderness hiking.
