Gales Creek Campground
Camping fun for
the whole family
Tillamook State Forest campgrounds oer
moderately-sized, rustic sites shaded by Douglas-r
forest. Individual campsites are well-screened and
include a parking area, a re grate with cooking grill,
and a tent pad. While there are no RV hook-ups, many
sites are suitable for travel trailers or small RVs. Some
campgrounds have walk-in tent sites a bit farther from
the road. Jones Creek, Keenig Creek, Elk Creek, and
Gales Creek campgrounds are popular with families and
are easily reached from Highway 6.
Browns Camp, Diamond Mill, and Jordan Creek
campgrounds are specically for o-highway vehicle
camping. Reehers Camp is primarily for horse campers,
with a non-horse campsite loop.
Outside of developed campgrounds, designated
campsites can be found along forest roads near major
rivers and streams. While these sites lack amenities,
such as restrooms and drinking water, each site
contains a metal re grate in which campres are
permitted during most periods of re restrictions.
Explore trails on foot, by bike, or by horse
Enjoy a variety of more than 80 miles of non-motorized trails on the
Tillamook State Forest. Whether you prefer hiking, mountain biking,
or horseback riding, there is a trail for you. Enjoy a spring wildower
show while hiking the Peninsula Trail. Pedal your mountain bike
on the Historic Hiking Loop Trail for a rocking good ride. If you’re
looking for a steep hike to a mountain-top with inspiring views, tackle
the Kings Mountain Trail. Some trails may be closed seasonally to
protect them from damage. Please remember to share the trail and
abide by regulations on posted signs. A series of detailed trail guides
are available at district oces, the Tillamook Forest Center, and on our
websites.
Stop in at the Tillamook Forest Center
Discover the forest in this award-winning visitor center
through hands-on exhibits and family-friendly activities.
Watch the dynamic Wilson River from a spectacular
suspension bridge. Climb the re lookout tower for a birds’-
eye view of the forest. Walk lush trails and watch the lm,
Legacy of Fire. Admission and parking are free.
Weather and re safety | Be prepared
Weather on the forest is highly variable. Late fall through
early spring usually brings over 100 inches of rainfall.
Snowfall occurs irregularly and can accumulate in the
higher elevations into May. Summer through early fall
brings dry weather; however, don’t be surprised by an
occasional shower.
Fire season is declared when forest conditions
and weather raise the risk of wildre.
Restrictions on building campres and
o-road riding may be required. Always
check and follow re restrictions.
Carry a shovel and a gallon of water
or re extinguisher when driving
in the forest. Ensure your
campre is dead out (cold)
before leaving the site.
Driving forest roads
Explore hundreds of miles of gravel forest roads, but be aware that
single-lane roads require caution, slower speeds, and higher clearance.
Carry a forest map, water, and a spare tire. Be alert for log trucks and
other vehicles. Stay to the right and expect a vehicle around every
corner. CB channels for truck trac are posted. Cell phone coverage is
extremely limited in the forest. GPS data or online maps may contain
outdated information and include roads that are no longer in service.
Gales Creek Trail
Ride the region’s premier motorized trails
O-highway vehicle (OHV) riders can reach motorcycle, quad, side-
by-side, and four-wheel drive trails from ve staging areas on the forest.
Over 250 miles of well-marked trails, ranging from easy to dicult,
provide many options for OHV enthusiasts. Browns Camp is a good
place for beginning riders and even oers a kids riding area. If you like a
more challenging ride,
try Jordan Creek
Staging Area. e
Diamond Mill area
also oers a kids
riding area and
dicult single-track
motorcycle trails. Pick
up a Tillamook State
Forest OHV Guide
for regulations and a
map of the designated
OHV trail system.
Relax at day-use areas
Day-use areas, highway waysides, and scenic overlooks are located
throughout the forest.
Most picnic sites oer a
shady oasis near streams
and easy trails. e Smith
Homestead, Jones Creek
Day-use Area, and Keening
Creek Campground are
popular places located
near the Wilson River o
Highway 6. e rustic Forest
Learning Shelter at the Smith
Homestead can be rented for
private events by contacting
the Tillamook Forest Center.

Maps of roads, OHV trails, non-motorized

STATE FOREST
Recreation
Guide
Welcome to the
Tillamook State Forest
Explore a unique Coast Range forest, get closer to
nature, or discover the history of the legendary
Tillamook Burn. Grab your gear and bring
your family and friends to the Tillamook State
Forest. e forest is less than an hour drive from
Portland or from Highway 101 on the coast.
Here you will nd rugged mountains
rising above clear rivers where salmon and
steelhead return to spawn. Abundant rainfall
nourishes a green world of mosses, ferns,
and trees. Majestic elk roam the lush forest
while busy birds dart through shrubs
and treetops. Delicate spring wildowers
emerge across the hillsides and valleys only
to surrender to brilliant colors of broadleaf
trees in the autumn.
Your forest visit
Whether you’re looking for a scenic drive,
a quiet picnic spot with a cool creek
rippling over smooth stones, a family
campsite, or a trail through the woods,
you’ll nd something special in the
Tillamook State Forest. Many visitors also
enjoy the rivers and streams for shing,
hunting, kayaking, swimming, and
wildlife viewing.
e Oregon Department of Forestry
invites you to visit the Tillamook Forest
Center to learn about the forest through
programs, exhibits, and friendly sta.
It is a great place to start or end your
Tillamook State Forest adventure.
