About this campground
Discover the serene beauty of Boundary Campground, where eight intimate tent-only sites await beneath towering evergreens along the babbling waters of Bear Creek. This hidden gem on the northern edge of the majestic Eagle Cap Wilderness offers an authentic backcountry experience without sacrificing accessibility—two sites are thoughtfully designed for all visitors. Whether you're casting a line into the crystal-clear creek, spreading out a picnic blanket on the grassy banks, or setting off on an adventure from the nearby Bear Creek Trailhead, this rustic retreat promises unforgettable memories for families and solo adventurers alike.
Boundary Campground is specifically a tent-only campground with 8 sites. It also offers two accessible sites for individuals with disabilities.
Natural Features and SceneryImmerse yourself in the enchanting Bear Creek riparian corridor, where ancient cottonwoods and willows create a natural cathedral above your campsite. The melodic rush of Bear Creek provides a constant soundtrack to your stay, while the diverse ecosystem attracts an array of wildlife—from curious deer at dawn to soaring eagles overhead. As the gateway to the Eagle Cap Wilderness, the campground offers front-row seats to one of Oregon's most pristine and untouched landscapes, where wildflower meadows give way to rugged peaks and endless adventure.
Geological RegionNestled in the dramatic landscape where Bear Creek carves its path through the northern reaches of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Boundary Campground sits at the intersection of geological wonder and ecological diversity. This riparian sanctuary showcases the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest's wilderness heritage, where millennia of flowing water has sculpted a perfect haven amid towering peaks and virgin forests. The surrounding terrain tells the story of ancient volcanic activity and glacial carving that created this pristine wilderness playground.
