Butte Creek Falls Campground

UPDATE 8/10/18 You can no longer get here off Crooked Finger Rd thanks to Weyerhauser giant gate right before turnoff. Weyerhauser seriously limited access to the state forest lands with this gate. You can still get to this campground via a lengthy detour, but it's hardly worth the trouble. Dropping another star for crappy access due to Santiam State Forest being warehoser's lil beeotch. Cute, scenic, very small campground. $20/night is steep, but that's the greedy State of Oregon. Your $20/night gets you one smelly vault toilet and a garbage can. You would think there was water and other amenities for the price, but bring a filter or drinking water to stay here. Get yourself a 4x4 and go to Rhody lake and stay for free. This is listed as dispersed camping, but that is incorrect.

Didn’t actually get to go to the campground because a logging company has gated off the road to get there about a mile and a half up the road. The area was beautiful and I would love to go back more prepared to hike a little to the camp site but that’s why the 2 star rating.

Gate was closed for the back way about a mile n half before the campground went Feb 2021 edit 2025 they have opened up this campground for the summer not sure if its accessible all year though

Road closed by gate about 2 miles from campground as of 3/6/22. Can't go around.

Cute and isolated. Although, it's a little spendy. $15-20 a night is a lot for a tent camping
