Campers Flat

Overview

Campers Flat is on an open river terrace below Forest Road 21. This small campground is a group site situated in a beautiful setting under Douglas-firs and Ponderosa pines. The dynamic Middle Fork of the Willamette River almost eliminates the sound of traffic passing along the road. 

Popular activities are fishing and hiking, or mountain biking the Young's Rock Trail, which ends on the other side of Road 21 from the camp.

Recreation

This campground is ideally located for hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians. The Middle Fork National Recreation Trail can be accessed just outside of the campground, as well as the Young's Rock trail. Chuckle Springs and Indigo Springs offer other opportunities nearby, and in the right season fishing is available in the Middle Fork as well as the nearby Hills Creek Reservoir.

Facilities

The campground has one small communal bathroom and regular trash services.

Natural Features

This campsite is located in a beautiful grove of Douglas firs, pines, and cedars. The Middle Fork flows along the side of the campground, and Chuckle Springs and Hills Creek Reservoir are short drives away.

We were not able to reach the campsite of Camper's Flat this year because our RV broke down many miles away from the site. We have stayed at Camper's Flat in the past and found it to be lovely located right next to the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. It was shady and cool during the heat of the day. The water pump was so handy to have to make our camping experience easy. Thank you to the Rangers and other Parks staff who keep the campsite clean and well-maintained for campers to enjoy.

The area was perfect for our 4 families and a few single dudes. We enjoyed having the privacy and access to the water. We were worried the water would be too shallow based on the pictures but it was perfect. There we spots we could cool off and put out feet in the water and the teens e joked jumping off the rock into the deeper area. The stars were absolutely beautiful.

Great access to the Middle Fork of the Willamette, as well as hiking/mountain biking trails nearby. It's also not too far to Mecredie Hotsprings! The only drawback being that it's right off of the road, but the road isn't especially busy, and if you sleep closer to the river, the white noise would cover up any road sounds. In all, it's a great location for group car camping.

Best group camp site. I am surprised there isn’t as many reviews as there should be. This campsite is beyond amazing. 5 campsites in total, 3 out of 5 are along the river. There is an area with trees and tons of space. The river has areas for kids, to swim and I’m sure you can fish. Each campsite has its own fire pit. No need to bring water bottles as water is provided. 10/10 and am definitely going to be coming here on a regular basis. Restroom was well kept, though it’s a walk from campsite 5, it’s still worth it.
