About this campground
Nestled along the scenic byway that winds between Tiller and Trail, Threehorn Campground offers an intimate escape into the heart of the Rogue-Umpqua Divide. This peaceful retreat features five thoughtfully spaced sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, creating the perfect basecamp for your wilderness adventure at 2,600 feet elevation. The journey to reach this hidden gem is as memorable as the destination itself, following a breathtaking route that showcases the raw beauty of Oregon's backcountry.
Threehorn Campground is a primitive camping site with no fees required for use. It offers five campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire pits. The campground is ideal for RVs and tent camping but does not offer group sites, cabins, or luxury camping options.
Historical SignificanceWhile the recorded history of this specific site remains unwritten, the surrounding landscape tells countless stories through its ancient forests and weathered peaks, inviting visitors to create their own chapters in this timeless wilderness.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the dramatic seasonal transformations that define this mountain sanctuary. Winter arrives with authority, blanketing the landscape in pristine snow from late fall through mid-spring, creating a wonderland for those brave enough to venture into the cold. As summer emerges, the campground transforms into a cool refuge from valley heat, with moderate temperatures that invite long days of exploration. The significant temperature swings between seasons mean every visit offers a completely different experience, from crisp autumn mornings to sun-dappled summer afternoons.
ElevationPerched at 2,600 feet above sea level, Threehorn occupies that sweet spot where mountain air carries a refreshing coolness even in summer. This elevation brings magical winter transformations when snow creates a pristine wilderness playground, while offering relief from summer heat during warmer months. The altitude provides just enough mountain character to make every breath feel cleaner and every sunrise more spectacular.
Natural Features and SceneryTowering pine and fir sentinels stand guard over this tranquil forest sanctuary, their massive trunks creating natural cathedral columns that filter sunlight into dancing patterns on the forest floor. The dense canopy provides welcome shade on warm days and shelter during light rain, while the aromatic blend of pine needles and mountain air creates an instantly calming atmosphere. This is where the forest feels most alive, with whispered conversations between ancient trees and the gentle rustling that speaks of untold wilderness secrets.
Geological RegionThreehorn claims its place within the majestic Umpqua National Forest, straddling the legendary Rogue-Umpqua Divide where two great river systems part ways. This geological crossroads has shaped the landscape over millennia, creating the dramatic ridgelines and deep valleys that make this region a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The divide itself serves as a natural boundary between watersheds, offering visitors a chance to stand literally at the top of the world where waters flow in opposite directions toward distant seas.
