Timpanogas in OR -- Campground & RV Camping

Timpanogas Shelter is a rustic 15x18-foot dirt-floor cabin built in 1991, modeled after classic 3-sided CCC shelters. Located at 5,300 feet in the Willamette National Forest on the shore of Timpanogas Lake, the shelter sleeps six to eight people with a sleeping loft, benches, table, and wood stove. The grounds include a picnic table, fire ring, pit toilet, and space for up to 20 outdoor campers. Water can be pumped from nearby Timpanogas Campground through late September. Lakes are non-motorized and offer fishing and canoeing, with access to the Pacific Crest Trail nearby.

Getting there: From I-5, take Exit 188A onto Highway 58 and proceed just past MP 37 (east of Oakridge), turning right onto Kitson Springs Road. Proceed 0.5 mile to junction with Forest Service Road (FSR) 21, also signed as Diamond Drive. Turn right onto FSR 21 and continue approximately 32 miles, turning left onto paved FSR 2154. Continue on FSR 2154 approximately 10 miles (pavement ends at the 3.4 MP). At the 2154-6010 junction, stay on the 2154 (right); continue to stay on the 2154. At the next junction of the 2154-372 stay (right). Continue for a short distance. Watch for a gate on the left side of an unmarked spur, just after a switchback. If you reach the road into the Timpanogas campground, you've driven too far.
