About
Indigo Springs Campground is a small, primitive tent-only campground tucked among a fine stand of old growth Douglas-fir approximately 31 miles southeast of Oakridge, Oregon. The three sites offer a quiet retreat into the forest, with vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. No potable water is available, so campers must bring an adequate supply. The campground takes its name from the nearby springs, accessible via an easy 500-foot round-trip loop trail. Interpretive signs along the trail explain the historic Oregon Central Military Wagon Road, a portion of which passes near the campground, and the ecological role of Bull trout in the regional watershed. Equestrians, hikers, and mountain bikers can easily access the Middle Fork Trail across Forest Road 21. Nearby attractions include the Diamond Peak Wilderness, Chuckle Springs, the Middle Fork River, and Timpanogas Lake. The campground is popular with those seeking a peaceful base for hiking, fishing, and exploring the surrounding old growth forest.
