About this campground
Escape to your own private wilderness retreat at Carberry Group Campground, where the entire site becomes your group's exclusive basecamp. This recently transformed group-use facility nestles alongside a babbling creek, offering the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience just moments from the sparkling waters of Applegate Lake. Whether you're planning a family reunion, scout adventure, or gathering of friends, Carberry provides an intimate connection with nature without sacrificing accessibility to recreational opportunities.
Carberry Group Campground is exclusively a group camping facility. It is not designed for individual or primitive camping.
Historical SignificanceWhile Carberry's recorded history may be brief, the land tells its own timeless story through ancient trees and weathered rocks that have witnessed countless seasons along this creek. The campground's recent transformation to a group-use facility marks a new chapter in its service to outdoor enthusiasts seeking connection with Oregon's natural heritage.
Weather and SeasonsSummer transforms Carberry into an outdoor paradise, with warm days and cool nights creating ideal camping conditions from May through mid-September. As autumn approaches, crisp mornings give way to golden afternoons perfect for hiking and lake activities. Winter brings a dramatic change, blanketing the area in cold temperatures that transform the landscape into a frosty wonderland - beautiful to behold but challenging for camping, making this truly a fair-weather destination best enjoyed during the warmer months.
ElevationSituated at a comfortable elevation within the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Carberry offers a gentle mountain experience where the air is fresh but breathing remains easy, making it accessible for campers of all ages and fitness levels.
Natural Features and SceneryThe gentle murmur of the creek serves as nature's soundtrack at Carberry, where towering conifers create a living cathedral overhead. Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating moss-covered rocks and fern-lined paths. Just a short journey away, Applegate Lake beckons with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the surrounding peaks, offering endless opportunities for swimming, boating, and shoreline exploration.
Geological RegionNestled within the ancient volcanic landscapes of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Carberry occupies a special niche where mountain streams have carved intimate valleys through millions of years of geological history. The creekside location showcases the region's dynamic interaction between water and stone, while nearby Applegate Lake stands as a testament to both natural forces and human ingenuity in this rugged corner of southern Oregon.
