Falcon Creek is a Forest Service campground in the Tiller Ranger District of Oregon's Umpqua National Forest. It sits in the backcountry of the district, and the nearest town is Tiller, about 18 miles away. The site is simple, with vault toilets as the only listed amenity. There is no fee to stay here, so it works well for a short stop or a base for exploring the surrounding area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 89°F with only two or three wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the 40s and rain on more than half the days.
