Part of Wallowa Whitman National Forest
Dougherty Campground is situated in an open pine forest and grassland near the northern boundary of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. The site offers 4 tent/trailer sites, and 8 tent-only sites. Primary activities include camping, picnicking, berry picking and hunting during the fall season.
Use season is generally June through early October.
Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.
Dougherty Campground has 12 campsites that offer picnic tables, fire rings and parking spaces.
With the continued hot temps and low Relative Humidity’s predicted in the weather on top of all the continued large fires going in the region, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest will move to an IFPL 4 on Saturday morning the 8th of August at 0001.
With tinder dry forest fuels and high daytime temperatures, conditions are prime for potential human-caused forest fires. We ask that you be extremely careful when out on the forest.
