THE OAKRIDGE AREA starts at the upper end of Lookout Reservoir at Hampton Campground. This is a small area that is mostly meant to be for RVs, but it has a boat ramp to the reservoir. Oakridge is about a 45 minute drive from Eugene on Hwy 58 heading toward Klamath Falls and Eastern Oregon. The lower campgrounds are between Oakridge and Eugene and the upper campgrounds are between Oakridge and the summit area where Waldo Lake is located.
Past Hampton Campground is Black Canyon Campground. This area
is a large mostly first come, first serve campground (as are most of the USFS
campsites in this area). You can almost always find a nice site here
nearby or on the Willamette River. You will find our hosts friendly
and helpful. Further along just past Oakridge is the very popular
Hills Creek Reservoir Area. The reservoir is great for swimming,
boating, fishing, and water skiing or wakeboarding. There are three
boat landings available. The best is in Packard Creek Campground.
Another is easily reachable toward the top of the reservoir at Bingham
Boat Ramp. This ramp is located near the Sand Prairie Campground. As
you go further up the Middle Fork of the Willamette past the reservoir
you will find additional enjoyable sunny camping with fewer neighbors
and quieter surroundings.
