Butler Bar is a Forest Service campground in the Copper Salmon Wilderness, within the Powers Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southwest Oregon. It sits inside designated wilderness, and the land is managed by the Forest Service. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Illahe weather station show May highs around 75°F and September highs around 86°F, while July and August average about 90°F. That station sits roughly 370 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at Butler Bar run a little cooler.

Paddlers can reach the Elk River, about 2.5 miles away, and the South Fork Sixes River, about 3.6 miles away.
