pits. Later, upgrades make this a comfortable but rustic, pack

thimbleberry, wild rose bushes and other plants provide nice
privacy while young maples dominate the middle story. The river
can be heard throughout campground. Excellent privacy between
some sites.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 4,800 ft.
The campground stretches along the banks of Eagle Creek in the
Boulder Park Recreation Area. Engelmann spruce and other
conifers provide ample shade to most sites. A large grassy
meadow at one end of the campground suggests the possibility of
good wildlife viewing. Parking is informal and haphazard - great
for tent campers. The creek can be heard throughout this pack it
in, pack it out campground.

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation
DIRECTIONS:
From Baker City, OR, take State Rt 7 south 16.7 miles to
campground on left.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 4,100 ft.
The campground, on the north side of Phillips Reservoir in a
stand of Ponderosa pine, has three loops (A, B & C) and a walk-in
tent area. The walk-in tent area is closest to the reservoir and
a few campsites in the Loops have a limited view of the water but
there are no sites adjacent to the water. Loop B and C have
electric and water hook-ups while Loop A has full-hook-ups. A
grass understory and no middlestory in the Loops means there
is little privacy. The tent area does have sites tucked into the
riparian environment along a small stream providing some seclusion
and privacy.
Possible day trips are the ghost town of Granite, historic
Sumpter with the Sumpter Dredge, Sumpter Valley [narrow-gauge
steam] Railroad, and a limited selection of stores and cafes for
a cook's night out.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

The campground, pack it in, pack it out, has a lower loop and an
upper section. The upper section runs parallel to US Rt. 26
where traffic noise should be expected. Campsites in this
section are well suited for tent and car campers. The lower loop
has a quiet, tranquil undiscovered feel. Both areas have ample
shade from Douglas fir, Ponderosa pine and White fir. The
campground is not adjacent but close to South Fork Burnt River.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 4,700 ft.
This campground, a large single loop close to but not on South
Fork Burnt River, is well named since it is in a stand of grand
old Ponderosa pine, also called Yellow pine. The Ponderosa
pines, widely spaced and towering, allow enough sunlight for a
pleasant grass and wildflower carpet-like understory. However,
with no middlestory, privacy is minimum. This is a nice RV-
friendly campground convenient to US26 but far enough away to
experience very little traffic noise. The campground is pack it
in, pack it out.
