About
Williamson River Campground is conveniently situated just off Highway 97, approximately five minutes north of Chiloquin, Oregon, in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. This popular 19-site campground offers a scenic setting along the crystal-clear Williamson River, framed by ponderosa pines and sagebrush. All campsites include picnic tables and fire grates, with one site designed for ADA accessibility. The campground features three vault toilets and two hand pumps for water. The Williamson River provides excellent fishing opportunities, while miles of Forest Service roads invite mountain biking exploration. A 1.3-mile walking trail connects the campground to Collier State Park, where visitors can explore the Collier State Park Logging Museum featuring historic logging equipment from the late 1800s and a relocated pioneer village. Due to its proximity to the highway and quality amenities, this campground is popular with both tent campers and RV users seeking a relaxing riverside retreat in southern Oregon's high desert forest landscape.
