Two developed campgrounds on the Paulina Ranger District of the Ochoco National Forest will temporarily close individual camp sites, as needed, for hazard tree removal during the month of July.
Wolf Creek Campground, a popular developed camping area in the ponderosa pine forest adjacent to Wolf Creek, has 10 family sites and a limited number of trailer sites (no waste dump), tables, fire pits, campsite spurs, and vault toilets. No potable water is available. The campground is approximately six miles west of Rager Ranger Station. There is a $6.00 fee for the first vehicle and a $3.00 fee for each additional vehicle.
Mud Springs Campground is located in open ponderosa pine forest and offers access to the Black Canyon Wilderness via Trail #821. Facilities include six family sites, a limited number of trailer sites (no waste dump), nine steel horse pens, fire pits, tables, campsite spurs, and a vault toilet. No potable water is available and no fee is charged at this site. This campground is south of the Black Canyon Wilderness off Forest Road 5840.
“We regret any inconvenience these temporary campsite closures may cause. Public safety is a very high priority for the Paulina Ranger District and the trees identified for removal currently pose a threat of falling,” said District Ranger Slater Turner.
Signs will be posted on site to advise the public of tree removal operations in progress.
