Succor Creek Campground

Succor Creek Campground in Jordan Valley, Oregon, offers a rugged and remote camping experience in the heart of the Succor Creek State Natural Area, renowned for its deep, rocky canyon setting and exceptional geological features. This primitive campground is a haven for rockhounds seeking Oregon's state rock, thundereggs, and for wildlife enthusiasts drawn to its rich bird populations and the chance to spot bighorn sheep and mule deer. The campground's isolation, natural beauty, and proximity to unique attractions like Leslie Gulch and the Honeycombs make it a standout destination for adventurous campers.

The campground features 23 campsites split across the creek, with 15 walk-in tent sites on the east side and eight primitive sites on the west. Amenities are minimal, limited to picnic tables and a single vault toilet, with no potable water available on-site. Visitors should come prepared with all necessary supplies for this off-grid camping experience. The surrounding area offers hiking opportunities, particularly for those exploring the Honeycombs or Painted Canyon, and the seasonal creek adds a touch of greenery to the high desert landscape.

Located approximately 45 minutes from Jordan Valley and accessible via a rough, 15-mile gravel road from Highway 201, Succor Creek Campground feels like a true escape into wilderness. The stunning volcanic rock formations, coupled with its tranquil and remote atmosphere, make it ideal for day trips, weekend adventures, or extended stays for those ready to embrace the raw beauty of Oregon’s high desert.
