Carberry Group Campground

## Overview

Located in southwest Oregon in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Hart-
Tish Park is surrounded by a variety of landscapes, boasting nearby volcanic
peaks, rivers and old-growth forests.  
  
Hart-Tish Park offers several acres of beautifully groomed lawn sloping down
to the shores of Applegate Lake. Visitors can spot the peaks of the majestic
Red Buttes Wilderness while looking south over the lake.

General Store with lengthy non alcoholic drink selection w/no sugar drinks as
well, large snack selection as well as camping, fishing, outdoor ammenities
sold. Boat Ramp. Fish Cleaning Station. Stand up paddleboard and kayak rental.
Bathrooms. Truck with trailer and car parking.

## Recreation

Hart-Tish Campground sits on the shores of Applegate Lake, a popular
recreation lake located north of the Red Buttes Wilderness Area. Visitors
enjoy swimming, cycling, boating, canoeing, fishing and hiking the various
trails near the lake. There is a trail that goes 18.5 miles around the lake,
with two short sections that are back on the road, as well as various trails
close to the lake that are popular with mountaion bikers.  
  
CollinS Mountain Trail, named for the family of Freeman and Sophia (Lewis)
CollingS, sisters who moved to the area in the mid-1870s from the Forest
Creek/Kanaka Flat area, begins at the Hart-Tish Park picnic area. The trail
crosses Upper Applegate Road and drops down to Grouse Creek, where it passes
an abandoned miners' cabin and several mine adits, as well as an inactive
Bigfoot trap. Leaving Grouse Creek, the trail climbs steeply for one mile to
the ridge top, gaining 1,000 foot elevation, and begins a long traverse of the
western slope of Collins Mountain.  
  
Panoramic views of Applegate Lake and the Siskiyou Crest are seen at several
locations along the trail.  
  
The inactive Bigfoot trap, found at the beginning of the trail, was built in
1974 by the North American Wildlife Research Team. The trap was inspired by a
miner who lived near the Applegate River who claimed to have found 18-inch-
long, human-like tracks in his garden. The organization operated the trap,
keeping it baited with carcasses for six years, but caught only bears.
Currently the Forest Service keeps an eye on the trap, but otherwise does not
maintain it.

## Natural Features

The unique character of the landscapes comprising the area has led to the
designation of over 340,000 acres of the forest as wilderness, and over 200
miles of streams as National Wild and Scenic Rivers.  
  
The forest itself is composed of two distinct geological provinces, the
Cascade Range and the Siskiyou Mountains. The Cascade Range is dominated by
snow-capped volcanic peaks like the 9,495-foot Mt. McLoughlin, located within
the Sky Lakes Wilderness.  
  
The Siskiyou area embodies the most complex and treasured plant communities in
the Pacific Northwest. World-class wild rivers, biological diversity,
remarkable fisheries and complex watersheds all define the Siskiyou.  
  
Diverse landscapes provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife, from spotted
owls and bull elk to salamanders and sandhill cranes.

## Nearby Attractions

The nearby Rogue River National Recreation Trail, stretching 40 miles between
Grave Creek and Big Bend, offers some of southwestern Oregon's most scenic
landscapes and rewarding hiking experiences. This hiking-only trail follows
the north bank of the Rogue River as it winds its way toward the Pacific
Ocean.  
  
Visitors enjoy Crater Lake National Park and learning about its unique natural
and cultural history. At 1,943 feet deep, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in
the United States and one of the ten deepest lakes in the world.

## Overview

The Chinquapin Group Campground is located at the former site of the Camp
Oregon Caves Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp. During the Great
Depression from 1933- 1941 the Camp Oregon Caves Civilian Conservation Corps
(CCC) camp was home to over 200 men who worked on projects in the Siskiyou
National Forest and the Oregon Caves National Monument. Today, the only
structure currently remaining at the site is the historic Grayback Ranger
Station, constructed by CCC crews around 1936 and located immediately adjacent
to the Chinquapin Group Campground. The large Port- Orford cedar tree located
near the back of the parking area was dedicated in 2011 as the 56th Oregon
State Heritage Tree and is a living reminder of the Civilian Conservation
Corps (CCC) and Camp Oregon Caves CCC camp. The large meadow at the Chinquapin
Group Campground makes a great location for group events such as reunions,
church camps, school field trips and scouting events. Water, picnic tables and
fire rings are readily available at three locations in the campground and a
restroom is located at the back of the parking area. Within a short walking
distance there are swimming areas in Grayback Creek and creek side trails with
meadows, marshes, spring wildflowers, wildlife and berry picking. No
