All Sites are First Come - First Served

Jack Creek is located on USFS 12 about 4 miles off Hwy 20 near the Suttle Lake turn off. In order to have some control of the campground after the fire of 2003, Hoodoo has been asked to manage the campground with fees. The campground is flat and ideal for RVs. It has large sites with plenty of parking. This is our best campground for large groups with many sites able to accommodate up to 20 people and seven vehicles. Large pine trees provide plenty of shade. For those of you who miss the ability to take a shower or use the laundry or even need an RV dump these amenities are available for a fee at Hoodoo's Black Butte RV and Motel (aka. Camp Sherman RV Park). Black Butte RV Park is located next to the school as you enter Camp Sherman. The host will be glad to help with questions about the campgrounds as well. On crowded weekends he may have information about which campgrounds still have sites available. Also an RV dump is available at the Hoodoo Lodge from 9AM to 4PM. There is one vault toilet and no water system. This campground is being improved, but for now has a minimum camp fee.

Normally the Sheep Springs host takes care of Jack Creek from Memorial Day Weekend through at least the Labor Day Weekend otherwise there will be an attendant who will be visiting the campground two to four times per day.

RV use rating is a 4 (out of 5)

Bridge Construction Will Cause Road Detour in July and August - Detour Map

Sisters, Ore – From mid-July until early September, the Deschutes National Forest, Sisters Ranger District, will close a segment of Forest Road 12, which is located just south and east of Suttle Lake off of State Highway 20, and visitors will be detoured.

From July 15 to September 2, 2010 a short segment of Forest Road 12 over Lake Creek will be closed while contractors replace culverts with a bridge to improve fish passage in the creek. The road accesses popular recreation areas near Round Lake, Jack Creek and Camp Sherman; however, only a small portion of the road will be closed and most of Forest Road 12 will remain open. Recreation areas will still be accessible via a signed detour that will be in place throughout the closure. Message boards on State Highway 20 will forewarn visitors of the closure and information will be posted in local communities and businesses and on Forest Service websites.

In discussing the road closure, Sisters District Ranger, Bill Anthony, said, “We know it is a popular road for visitors to the national forest during July and August. Though we regret impacting our visitors, we must do the bridge project on Lake Creek in the summer. During the spring and fall we must avoid impacts to trout and salmon spawning and rearing in the creek. Also during the spring, we need to avoid possible impacts to spotted owls during their nesting season.”

For more information please contact Kirk Flannigan or Don Walker at the Sisters Ranger District, 541-549-7700.
