Sand Prairie Campground

What if a campground offered the soothing sound of a flowing river alongside the shade of towering evergreens? Sand Prairie Campground, just 14 miles south of Oakridge, Oregon, presents an idyllic retreat along the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. This 21-site campground, set in a mixed forest of Douglas-fir, Western hemlock, and cedar, offers a harmonious blend of tranquility and natural beauty, making it ideal for car campers and nature enthusiasts seeking a peaceful getaway.

The campground provides picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets, but does not have water or hookups, so visitors should come prepared. With direct access to the 27-mile Middle Fork Willamette Trail, it's a haven for hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians alike. The campground’s setting also allows for easy exploration of nearby attractions such as Hills Creek Lake and the scenic Larison Trail, all within a short drive.

Perfect for a weekend escape or an extended nature retreat, Sand Prairie Campground is a quintessential Willamette National Forest destination. Its proximity to Oakridge offers the chance to combine your wilderness experience with the small-town charm of this outdoor recreation hub.
