Oregon Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Whitman Ranger District of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, set along Highway 26 as part of the Journey Through Time Scenic Byway. The site serves both tent campers and those with small trailers and works well for travelers passing through the state. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 83°F with only about four to five wet days a month. Winter runs much colder, with January highs near 34°F and lows around 15°F. Vault toilets are the campground's only facilities. A fee is charged for stays. The Oregon OHV Trailhead of the Blue Mountain OHV Trail System sits right next door. Yellow Pine Campground is about 1.6 miles away and Wetmore Campground about 2.4 miles. The North Fork Burnt River offers canoeing at roughly 5.9 miles, and the Boulder Loop Trail is about 8.9 miles off.
