Packard Creek

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

Packard Creek is a popular campground on the western side of Hills Creek Reservoir. The family-friendly destination offers a picturesque setting among tall trees, with views of the lake beyond. Most of the campground is accessible. Larison Creek Trail is excellent for mountain biking, horseback riding and hiking. It meanders along Larison Cove and Larison Creek, through lush vegetation of hemlock, Douglas fir and red cedar. Visitors also enjoy boating, swimming and fishing — anglers often catch catfish, blue gill, crappie and coho salmon. A fishing dock, swimming area and boat ramp can be found in the day use area. There are 36 standard campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and a campfire ring. There is also a group campground, which accommodates up to 80 people, with a large picnic shelter and open space for tents. Some sites have individual boat docks as well. The campground is situated on a large flat beside Hills Creek Reservoir. The lake, hugged by a diverse mix of vegetation, covers 2,735 acres with 44 miles of shoreline in Willamette National Forest. The campground is near Oakridge, Oregon, once a railroad boomtown at the turn of the 20th century; other noteworthy places include many hot springs found within the forest.
