Grayback Campground

This campground is located in a beautiful forested setting, with the Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve located approximately 5 miles further up the road. Of the 39 sites, several are located along Sucker Creek, providing cool waters to jump in or just soak your feet in on hot summer days. Revel in the amazing biodiversity that is so unique to the Illinois Valley by venturing out on the 1-mile, family-friendly Grayback Interpretive Trail that leads to Grayback Creek and around the historical Civilian Conservation Corps camp at the Cedar Guard Station.

There is a pleasant day use area with 10 sites, a small amphitheater, and a large picnic area, complete with shelters and a fireplace.
