GenieSummary

What others are saying about this campground
Gales Creek Campground is a beautiful spot located just off Highway 6 between Portland and Tillamook in the Tillamook State Forest. Its a great place to escape the city life, with lush greenery, a small creek, and plenty of trails for hiking and mountain biking. The campsites are small but private, and each comes with a fire pit and picnic table. Unfortunately, the campground is usually quite crowded and all sites are first-come/first-served. There are no showers, and the vaulted toilets can be unpleasant. There is a water pump, but it is recommended to filter or boil the water before drinking. The camp fees are $15 per night, and firewood is available for an additional $5. There is no cell service, so come prepared.

From The Campground

Oregon State Forests allow dispersed camping year-round with no fee or permit requirements. However, campers must adhere to ODF regulations regarding placement of campsites, campfires, sanitation, and stay limits. During the Regulated Use portion of fire season, campfires and charcoal barbeques are not allowed in dispersed campsites. There are no maps for dispersed campsites. Disabled Veterans with a valid Veteran's Special Access Pass may camp in the forest up to 10 days per month for free. Active-duty military personnel with a valid military ID may camp for free on Memorial Day and July 4th.
