About West Eagle Meadow Camping

Seventeen sites are offered, described as tent/small trailer campsites and walk-in tent sites; the adjacent trailhead is a combination horse camp and trailhead.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies the boundary where West Eagle Creek emerges from Eagle Cap Wilderness, one of Oregon's largest roadless areas. Ancient glaciers and volcanic activity shaped the surrounding peaks and valleys. Evergreens shade the sites, and seasonal wildflower meadows spread across the landscape during summer months. The creek runs cold with mountain snowmelt through the warmer months.
