About this campground
Where crystal-clear Brice Creek whispers through ancient forests, Lund Park Campground invites you to experience the timeless beauty of Oregon's wilderness. This peaceful retreat combines modern camping amenities with echoes of the past - each campsite features a picnic table and fire ring with grill, while two well-maintained vault toilets serve the grounds. As you settle in for the evening, you're camping where fortune-seeking miners once rested their weary bones over a century ago, adding a touch of history to your outdoor adventure.
Lund Park Campground is designed primarily for tent camping, featuring basic facilities and a natural setting beside Brice Creek.
Historical SignificanceStep back in time at Lund Park, where the dreams of gold rush miners still linger in the forest shadows. In the early 1900s, this very spot served as a crucial rest stop for prospectors journeying from Cottage Grove to the legendary Bohemia Mines. Today, history buffs can discover tangible connections to this bygone era - near campsite #1, a weathered concrete foundation stands as a silent testament to the miners who once sought their fortunes in these hills.
Weather and SeasonsSummer transforms Lund Park into a natural paradise where warm afternoons beckon visitors to the cool, refreshing waters of Brice Creek for streamside picnics and lazy days by the water. As autumn arrives, the forest erupts in golden hues while temperatures drop to create perfect hiking weather. Winter brings its own magic, with crisp air and peaceful trails offering solitude and stunning scenery for those willing to embrace the cooler months.
ElevationNestled in the foothills where Brice Creek carves its path through the landscape, Lund Park offers a comfortable camping experience at a moderate elevation that provides relief from valley heat while remaining accessible year-round.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in a photographer's dream where towering old-growth giants create a cathedral-like canopy overhead, their ancient trunks draped in emerald moss. Along Brice Creek's banks, smooth granite boulders invite exploration while the water tumbles over rocky ledges, creating an enchanting series of small waterfalls and crystal-clear pools. Moss-covered cliffs rise dramatically from the forest floor, creating intimate grottos and scenic backdrops that transform every campsite into a private wilderness sanctuary.
Geological RegionLund Park Campground sits within a spectacular geological wonderland where millions of years of natural forces have sculpted a dramatic landscape. The campground's setting showcases the region's volcanic heritage through exposed rock formations and creek-carved canyons, all softened by centuries of moss growth and surrounded by magnificent old-growth forest. This unique combination of ancient geology and thriving ecosystem creates the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures along Brice Creek's scenic corridor.
