Clark Creek Organizational Camp

Clark Creek Organization Camp, located 12 miles northeast of Lowell, Oregon, is a historic group campground constructed during the 1930s by the efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps in coordination with the U.S. Forest Service. Organization camps were created for the purpose of hosting group recreational activities on public lands. Historically, groups that routinely used organization camps were the Boy Scouts of America and local church groups. The camp features five bunkhouses each with eight platform sleeping bunks, plus a large field to pitch tents, play baseball, volleyball or throw a frisbee. There is also an amphitheater and a large cooking/dining shelter. The day-use area and sleeping shelters are separated by Clark Creek. Access is over a foot bridge. The site accommodates up to 80 overnight guests but up to 125 guests can make use of the group area during the day time. Clark Creek is extremely popular for group events and functions, so plan ahead when making reservations. Several hiking and biking trails, swimming areas, and open fields offer fun opportunities for large groups with varied interests. Fall Creek is located across Forest Road 18, and Clark Creek runs adjacent to the sleeping area.
