About
Williamson Campground is one of the larger developed campgrounds in the scenic Lostine River Canyon, located along the Wild and Scenic Lostine River within the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The campground features 13 total sites including 8 tent/trailer sites and 5 tent-only sites, all situated below the campground road among shady pine and fir trees. The most popular sites are located next to the river and tend to fill up quickly during summer weekends and holidays. The campground serves as a popular base camp for exploring the nearby Eagle Cap Wilderness, with trailhead access available in the canyon. All wilderness visitors must obtain a free self-issued Wilderness Visitor Permit at the trailhead before entering. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with some sites also available for reservation through Recreation.gov. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and parking space. The facility provides vault toilets but does not have potable water, so visitors should bring their own water supply. The Lostine River Canyon setting offers excellent opportunities for fishing, hiking, photography, and enjoying the surrounding wilderness. Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. The campground is not maintained during the off-season and typically operates from June through October.
