About
Wrangle Campground is a rustic, free campground tucked into the Siskiyou Mountains of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. With just 5 tent sites, it offers a quiet, low-use setting for campers seeking solitude. Each site includes a picnic table and fire pit. The campground features notable historic structures including a shelter built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936, a cabin constructed by the Soil Conservation Service in the 1930s, and a community kitchen available for camper use. This is a true primitive camping experience with vault toilets but no potable water or trash service. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all garbage. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations or fees. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on leash, and quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The location at Wrangle Gap provides convenient access to the Pacific Crest Trail #2000 and Seven Mile Ridge Trail #939. The drive in via Forest Road 20 and Forest Road 2030 is scenic but requires approximately 18 miles of forest road travel from Upper Applegate Road.
