Planning Tips

    About Irondyke Forest Camp

    Wild River Campground invites you to experience the untamed beauty of Oregon's backcountry, where the rushing waters of the Lostine River create a natural soundtrack for your wilderness adventure. This secluded retreat offers the perfect basecamp for exploring two of the Pacific Northwest's most spectacular wilderness areas while enjoying the simple pleasures of riverside camping.
    The Irondyke Forest Camp offers camping facilities for visitors who enjoy rustic, outdoor environments.
    Historical SignificanceThe Lostine River valley has served as a corridor between mountains and plains for thousands of years, with the Nez Perce people traditionally using these waterways as travel routes and seasonal hunting grounds. The area's designation as Wild and Scenic preserves not only its natural beauty but also its cultural heritage, protecting the landscape that has sustained both wildlife and human communities throughout history.
    Weather and SeasonsSpring arrives with wildflower blooms and snowmelt that energizes the river's flow, while summer brings warm days perfect for water play and cool, star-filled nights. Fall transforms the surrounding forest into a tapestry of gold and amber, offering crisp air and fewer crowds. Winter typically limits access, blanketing the area in peaceful snow and creating a wonderland for those prepared for cold-weather camping.
    ElevationNestled in the transitional zone between valley floor and high country, the campground sits at an elevation that offers the best of both worlds - accessible enough for comfortable camping while high enough to escape summer's most intense heat. This sweet spot provides stunning views of surrounding peaks while maintaining a gentler climate than the alpine zones above.
    Natural Features and SceneryTowering pines and firs create a natural cathedral above your campsite, their branches filtering sunlight into dancing patterns on the forest floor. The crystalline Lostine River winds through the campground, its pools and riffles supporting native trout and providing endless entertainment for those who love the sound of moving water. Wildlife abounds, from curious chipmunks to majestic elk, while overhead, eagles soar between the canyon walls.
    Geological RegionPerched at the gateway to two of Oregon's crown jewels - the dramatic Hells Canyon and the alpine splendor of Eagle Cap Wilderness - Wild River Campground occupies a unique geological crossroads. The ancient volcanic and sedimentary formations tell the story of millions of years of Earth's history, from ocean floors thrust skyward to valleys carved by glaciers and the persistent flow of the Wild and Scenic Lostine River.
