Falls is a Forest Service campground on the banks of Emigrant Creek in the Emigrant Creek Ranger District of Malheur National Forest in Oregon. It's a simple, low-key place, with vault toilets as the only facility and no trash service, so visitors are asked to pack out everything they bring in. The site is easy to fish, with trout fishing right next to the campground, and the picnic area makes it a good choice for a family-friendly outing. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 82°F with only three to four wet days a month, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s. Emigrant campground sits about a mile away, and Emigrant Creek offers canoeing roughly 3.4 miles off. Alder Springs Camp is about 5.1 miles away, and Yellowjacket Campground is about 7.1 miles away.
