Corp Camp is a moderate out-and-back hike of about 1.9 miles in the Siskiyou Mountains Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southern Oregon. The trail is managed by the Forest Service and sits at roughly 5,660 feet, with a high point of 5,666 feet and a total round-trip elevation gain of about 900 feet. The climb is back-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.24 miles from the start, where the grade reaches 12%. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows both horses and bikes, so it works for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Howard Prairie Dam show July and August highs around 79°F with only two or three wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days. The trail is open from June 1 through October 31, and the trip takes about an hour. Bull Gap and Upper Missing Link are both about 0.4 miles away, and Upper Eastview is about 0.6 miles off. Mt. Ashland campground is about 3.4 miles away.
