About
US Forest Service campground. Located near the Triple Ridge area surrounded by The Jones, Huckleberry, and Hogback ridges; Wickiup Campground offers great hiking opportunities (within five miles), hunting, and views. Cold water springs are available 100 yards below the campground and fishing can be found at Ranger Creek (within 5 miles). Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
