About
Seven Devils Campground is a small, rustic facility nestled in a cool fir and spruce forest near the Hells Canyon Wilderness in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The campground features 10 tent-only campsites, each with a picnic table and fire pit. At an elevation above 7,000 feet, the campground offers a mountain setting with access to alpine recreation. A short walk from the campground leads to Seven Devils Lake, a scenic subalpine lake that offers fishing, photography opportunities, and wildflower viewing during the peak season. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis and provides basic amenities including vault toilets, but campers must bring their own water as none is available on-site. Access to the campground is via Forest Road 517, which is very steep and narrow. The upper sections of the road are not suitable for RVs, trailers, or low-clearance vehicles, and the road becomes slippery when wet or frozen. The remote location and challenging access contribute to the campground's rustic character and relatively moderate use levels.
