Hikers and swimmers will find trail access and creek-side recreation at Dolly Varden Campground, a US Forest Service site operating from late April through September in Willamette National Forest. The campground provides water hookups for RVs and allows campfires, with sites ranging from free to $18 per night through the reservation system.
One reviewer highlights multiple swimming holes along the creek and maintained trails leading to waterfalls, describing the paths as easy to moderate difficulty. The no-pets policy sets this campground apart from many forest service locations. For different amenities, Fall Creek sits just a tenth of a mile west.
