Yellow Pine Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Whitman Ranger District of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in northeastern Oregon. It sits among a cluster of campgrounds, with Wetmore Campground about 0.8 miles away and Oregon Campground about 1.6 miles away, making it an easy 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 83°F with only four or five wet days a month, while winter highs stay in the low to mid 30s. The campground is not reservable, so plan on arriving and securing a spot on site. For more time outdoors, the North Fork Burnt River offers canoeing about 6.8 miles away, and the Antlers Guard Station Cabin is about 7.3 miles off.
