Natural Features

The Spalding Pond Campground is defined by it's remote mountain setting, dense forest and a freshwater habitat. Spalding Pond is a 3 acre freshwater pond that fills the basin of a historic, 19th century timber mill site.

The campground is mostly shaded by mature mixed conifers and because of it's higher elevation, the pond's microclimate stays significantly cooler than the surrounding, hot Southern Oregon valleys in peak summer.
