About
Jack Creek Campground is located adjacent to Jack Creek in Oregon's Deschutes National Forest, northwest of Sisters. The campground is part of a cluster of recreation sites dotting the Metolius River corridor, an area known for its clear, spring-fed waters and diverse coniferous forest. The headwaters of the Metolius River originate at Metolius Springs at the base of Black Butte, a 3,076-foot cinder cone. Fly-fishing is a primary draw, with the cold, clear Metolius supporting rainbow trout, whitefish, bull trout, and kokanee salmon. Hiking and backpacking opportunities range from riverside trails to subalpine routes. Nearby attractions include the Camp Sherman Fish Viewing Platform, Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery, and the 100-mile Metolius-Windigo Trail. The campground offers 19 standard nonelectric sites, each with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water. Sites can accommodate tents, trailers, and RVs with a maximum spur length of 40 feet.
