About Falls Campground (Malheur National Forest)

Federal campground in Oregon.

Nestled within the pristine wilderness of Malheur National Forest, Falls Campground offers RV travelers an authentic escape into Oregon's natural beauty. This national forest campground provides an ideal basecamp for those seeking to reconnect with nature while enjoying the comforts of their RV home away from home.

The Malheur National Forest encompasses over 1.4 million acres of diverse landscapes, from high desert terrain to lush forest valleys. Falls Campground's location within this expansive forest puts you in the heart of some of eastern Oregon's most spectacular scenery. The forest transitions beautifully through different elevations and ecosystems, creating varied landscapes that change with the seasons. Spring brings wildflower meadows and rushing water from snowmelt, summer offers cool forest retreats from the heat of lower elevations, fall displays brilliant aspen groves, and winter transforms the area into a quiet, snow-covered wonderland for those equipped for cold-weather camping.

This region of Oregon has a rich history dating back to Native American tribes who utilized these lands for thousands of years, followed by pioneers and miners during the gold rush era. Today, visitors can explore this heritage while enjoying modern outdoor recreation. The Malheur National Forest is renowned for its excellent hiking trails that range from easy day walks to challenging backcountry adventures. Anglers will appreciate the forest's streams and lakes, which offer opportunities to catch trout and other fish species. Wildlife viewing is exceptional throughout the area, with chances to spot deer, elk, and various bird species.

The campground's location makes it convenient for exploring multiple attractions across eastern Oregon. The nearby town of Prairie City serves as the closest community hub, offering essential supplies and services. From Falls Campground, you're positioned to explore scenic drives through the Blue Mountains, visit historic mining towns, and access numerous trailheads that showcase the forest's diverse terrain.

The quieter pace and natural setting attract RV campers who value solitude, outdoor activities, and the therapeutic effects of forest immersion. Whether you're an avid hiker, a fishing enthusiast, a wildlife photographer, or simply someone seeking peaceful days surrounded by towering trees and fresh mountain air, Falls Campground provides the setting for a memorable national forest camping experience.

This is a really nice small campground that I have been to dozens of times. However, be warned that one reviewer stated that there is running water and flush toilets. This is false. The one toilet here is a vault toilet. And bring your own drinking water. The only "running" water is Canyon Creek. One of the pictures on this site for Google's Wickiup Campground shows a lake. That is not at this cam... This is a really nice small campground that I have been to dozens of times. However, be warned that one reviewer stated that there is running water and flush toilets.

One of the pictures on this site for Google's Wickiup Campground shows a lake. That is not at this campground. The picture is of Wickiup Reservoir in the Oregon Cascades, which is about a 230 mile drive away from here. With that said, I do recommend this campground for a beautiful primitive get-away right along Canyon Creek. One more noteworthy point is that the surrounding landscape was altered drastically in 2015 from the Canyon Creek Complex wildfire.

I stayed here for almost two weeks. It was so beautiful and peaceful that I had a hard time leaving. I just went back just over a month later, and the sense of peace instantly returned. One of my favorite Campgrounds in Grant County, Oregon!

Nice little campground next to Canyon Creek. Just off the highway. Also, a cool area for a possible Bigfoot experience. Mountains and trees surround the area.

Decent space between spots, right along side the creek and a bathroom. Quiet and serene for a nice get away.
