Part of Wallowa Whitman National Forest
Tamarack Campground is located along the Wild and Scenic Eagle Creek in the southern Wallowa Mountains. This open and sunny site has 12 tent/trailer sites of which 3 are fully accessible. A short accessible path leads down to the creek and ends at two fishing platforms. Popular activities include fishing, hiking, and bird watching. With easy access, this campground can fill-up and particularly during holiday week-ends.
Primary use season is May to September.
Quiet hours are from 10pm to 6am.
Tamarack Campground has 12 sites, each with picnic table, fire ring and parking spot.
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.
