Grassy Flats is a Forest Service campground in the Wild Rivers Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southern Oregon. No fees are required to use the site, which makes it an easy base for exploring the surrounding trails and waterways. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sexton Summit show July and August highs around 77°F with only about two wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the low 40s and rain on roughly half the days. The Fish Hook Interpretive hike starts less than a mile away, and West Fork Indigo Creek offers canoeing about 3 miles off. Hardscrabble and Indigo Creek are both within about 4 miles. For another place to camp, Oak Flat Campground/Gravel Bar is about 6.6 miles away.
