Best Time to Camp at Fern Hill Forest Natural Sup Campground

Fern Hill doesn't close its gates when the weather gets interesting—and in Oregon, interesting is pretty much guaranteed. Summer delivers those perfect forest days where dappled sunlight makes everything look like a fantasy novel cover, while spring carpets the trails with wildflowers between rain showers. Fall sets the understory ablaze with color, and winter? Winter is for the bold, offering fog-draped mornings so atmospheric you'll feel like you've stepped into another world entirely. Whatever season calls to you, pack layers and rain gear—the forest keeps its own schedule, and sunshine can turn to drizzle faster than you can say "Douglas fir."

About Fern Hill Forest Natural Sup Campground

Leave the digital world behind at Fern Hill Forest Natural Area, where your only notifications come from woodpeckers and your Wi-Fi is the whisper of wind through towering Douglas firs. This primitive campground strips camping down to its essentials, offering those willing to disconnect a rare chance to remember what silence actually sounds like.

The campground offers 74 drive-up campsites and 12 pull-through RV sites (restricted to RVs/trailers) plus four ADA-accessible sites. A separate Group Camp area is available for qualifying organizations and Group Camp Area 1 can accommodate up to 100 people.

Whatever season calls to you, pack layers and rain gear—the forest keeps its own schedule, and sunshine can turn to drizzle faster than you can say "Douglas fir."

Natural Features and SceneryStep into a living museum of Pacific Northwest forest, where centuries-old Douglas firs stand sentinel above a sea of sword ferns that seem to glow green even on overcast days. Oregon white oaks punctuate the landscape, their gnarled branches creating frames for whatever wildlife decides to make an appearance—deer browsing at dawn, varied thrushes calling from the canopy, or the occasional flash of a pileated woodpecker. The trails here don't just take you through the forest; they reveal it, showing you how everything from the smallest mushroom to the tallest tree plays its part in this thriving ecosystem.
