About
Sugar Creek Campground and Day Use Area are among the most highly developed recreational sites on the Ochoco National Forest. The campground features three moderately accessible campsites with all pathways ADA compliant. Set in a young ponderosa pine forest straddling Sugar Creek, the facility offers easy access via a paved Forest Service Road. The Day Use Area accommodates large groups for picnicking, while the Sugar Creek Trail provides opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing throughout the facility. The campground's remote location near the defunct Rager Ranger Station makes it one of the Paulina Ranger District's most desirable destinations for those seeking a break from civilization in the fresh pine-scented air. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire ring. The facility offers vault toilets and drinking water from a hand pump. First-come, first-served camping is available at $8 per night for the first vehicle, with $3 for each additional vehicle. A 14-day stay limit applies to all National Forest and Grassland campgrounds.
