About this campground
What was once a seed orchard is now a unique place to discover Oregon’s heritage! Whether hiking, biking or horseback riding along the trails that crisscross the landscape, or paddling along the Applegate River, the Douglas-fir stands, whose seeds were once used for reforestation, tell the unique story of Oregon’s timber history.
