Ukiah-Dale Forest

How does a tranquil creekside escape sound, where towering old-growth pines and golden larches offer a serene, picturesque canopy? The Ukiah-Dale Forest Campground, located just south of Ukiah, Oregon, along Highway 395, exceeds expectations with its peaceful setting beside Camas Creek and easy access to stunning natural surroundings.

This primitive campground offers 27 spacious sites equipped with picnic tables and fire pits, perfect for tents and RVs (albeit without hookups). Amenities include flush toilets, drinking water, and on-site firewood sales, ensuring a comfortable yet rustic experience. The campground’s clean, well-maintained facilities and the soothing sounds of Camas Creek are ideal for those seeking relaxation. However, its location near the highway means the occasional passing vehicle may be audible.

Situated within the Ukiah-Dale Forest Scenic Corridor, the campground boasts excellent proximity to outdoor activities. Anglers will enjoy fishing for trout, steelhead, and salmon in the creek and nearby John Day River. Foragers and hunters will appreciate the surrounding national forest and the nearby Bridge Creek Elk Wildlife Area. The small town of Ukiah, less than five minutes away, provides convenient access to groceries, fuel, and supplies. With its blend of natural beauty and practical amenities, this campground is perfect for overnight stops, weekend retreats, or extended relaxation.
