Campground details
Setting
Chinquapin Group Campground occupies the former site of a 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps camp in Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Located adjacent to the historic 1936 Grayback Ranger Station and a designated Oregon State Heritage Port Orford cedar, the facility centers around a large open meadow suitable for group gatherings. Amenities include picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water, and a restroom near the parking area, though there is no electricity. Grayback Creek sits nearby for swimming, and Oregon Caves National Monument is 10 miles east.
Getting there: From the Redwood Hwy (Hwy 199) in Cave Junction, turn east on Hwy 46 towards Oregon Caves National Monument. Continue on Hwy 46 for approximately 10.5 miles and just a quarter mile past the Grayback Campground on the left is Cedar Guard Station. Chinquapin Group Campground is located behind Cedar Guard Station and is accessed through the gate immediately to the right (east) of Cedar Guard Station.
