The park maintains a welcoming, natural atmosphere that stands out among typical highway-adjacent parks.

Situated in Curtin, Oregon, just off Exit 163, the park is nestled within a scenic forested canyon along the banks of Pass Creek. The immediate area is steeped in local history, featuring the historic Curtin School and the nearby Pass Creek County Park. Its strategic location serves as a perfect midpoint between Eugene and Roseburg, offering easy access to the diverse landscapes of Douglas County. The tall trees and rolling terrain provide a sense of seclusion despite being only moments away from the primary travel route.

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Outdoor enthusiasts can easily reach various trails and waterways that showcase the rugged beauty of the region.
Who This Park Is Best For

I had stayed a few nights here off and on as a quick night away from town. I have always filled out the paperwork with my information and dropped it and the required cash in the drop box. I recently received a call from Angie of the Douglas County parks department. She accused me of not paying them and then informed me I was lying and a thief!!! I became quite upset as I am a senior citizen who always pays fees and such. She was unbelievably rude and threatened me with a lawsuit and then said I wasn't welcome in "their" parks. I will NEVER stay in any of their dirty little parks again! The bathroom was gross and the shower room was taken over by the camp host and their friends. If you ever have to here do not pay cash! They will rip you off. Pay online and avoid the shower facilities.

Railroad tracks on one side. I-5 on the other side. Run your AC or fan to drown out noise. Camp hosts failed to divulge showers. By the time we figured it out and got code there was no lights or electricity to shower 3. Should have pounded on their trailer door at 10 pm. Beautiful grounds but honestly not worth $30 to stay here.
