About
Irondyke Forest Camp is a primitive, 5-site campground nestled along the Wild and Scenic Lostine River in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. At 5,170 feet elevation, the campground sits in a forest of pine and fir trees, offering a cool retreat for summer and fall camping. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. The campground serves as a convenient base camp for exploring the adjacent Eagle Cap Wilderness, Oregon's largest wilderness area, or the dramatic landscapes of nearby Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. Activities in the area include backpacking, fishing in the Lostine River, hiking, photography, and wilderness exploration. The campground sees heavy use during its operating season. This is a primitive facility with vault toilets but no potable water. Campers must bring their own drinking water. The 14-mile drive from Lostine on Forest Road 8210 is paved initially but becomes gravel, so be prepared for varying road conditions.
Directions
From Enterprise, Oregon travel west on Highway 82 for 10 miles to Lostine. In Lostine turn left at Lostine River Road and go 7 miles. The Lostine River Road turns into Forest Road 8210 at the Forest Boundary. Continue 7.5 miles on Forest Road 8210 to the campground entrance on the right side of the road.
