About
US Forest Service campground. The Williamson River Campground is conveniently located just off Highway 97 about five minutes north of Chiloquin, Oregon. There are 19 campsites with picnic tables, fire grates, three vault toilets, and two hand pumps round out the amenities at this campground. One campsite is ADA accessible. Ponderosa pines and sagebrush populate the landscape and contrast with the crystal clear Williamson River. Due to its close proximity to the highway, this; is a popular campground. You can mountain bike on miles of Forest Service roads, go fishing, or explore day hikes opportunities. Situated next to the popular Collier State Park, there is a 1.3 mile walking trail that connects the two campgrounds. Discover the Collier State Park Logging Museum which showcases historic logging equipment from the late 1800's, as well as a relocated pioneer village. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
