About Breitenbush Campground

Overview

Breitenbush Campground is nestled along the banks of its namesake river in the forests of western Oregon. The peaceful flow of the river can be heard throughout the campground, providing a peaceful getaway for campers.

The campground lies in the Willamette National Forest, which stretches for 110 miles along the western slopes of the Cascade Range. The varied landscape of high mountains, narrow canyons, cascading streams and wooded slopes offer varied recreational opportunities for visitors. The Breitenbush River is a tributary of the North Santiam River, and its clean waters flow from snow melt in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness. A variety of plants and foliage separate the spacious campsites and provide privacy from other sites.

Located nearly 10 miles east of Detroit, Oregon, at an elevation of 2,100 feet. Visitors can reach the site from Detroit by traveling north on state highway OR-22 before turning right (northeast) onto Breitenbush Road. After approximately 9.5 miles the turnoff for the campground will be on the right (south) side of the road.

There are 29 campsites, offering both reservable and first come first serve sites, that can accommodate vehicles and trailers up to 24 feet in length. Each site has a picnic table and firepit. There are four vault toilets. Trash receptacles are located in the campground.

Scan and Pay might be offered at this campground; It is recommended that you pay by cash or check for FCFS campsites. There are no refunds, modifications, cancellations, or other fee changes allowed with FCFS payments. This system is the same as putting cash into a fee tube and cannot be refunded.

If no Scan & Pay option is available you must pay via cash or check.

Campfires are allowed until and unless otherwise posted. Common to have fire bans during summer season, please plan accordingly.

Wading and fishing are popular activities in the Breitenbush River, and rainbow trout is the most common catch for anglers.
