The best camping near Succor Creek State Natural Area guide

Overview

About

Come here to relish the nearby Owyhee Reservoir's alligator green lake and chromatically vibrant volcanic designs. The 15-mile dirt road through Jordan Valley and Leslie Gulch is a sign. It means you're far away from civilization.

You can't even get cellphone reception in this park. The steep, brown walls of the gorge rise up on either side of you. Imagine millions of years ago when this creek was a huge inland river carving this landscape.

Look for thundereggs, which are Oregon's state rock. These are spherical geodes that have crystalline minerals inside. Crack them open carefully. As you hunt for thundereggs, look out for raptors (the bird kind), bighorn sheep, and mule deer.

Your rustic campsite serves as a great launching point for longer hikes. Check out the Honeycombs area or Painted Canyon.

Notable campgrounds

Four primitive sites on the west side of the creek offer an intimate connection with nature.
Fourteen primitive campsites on the east side provide a serene escape amid the rugged landscape.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Arrive early, as camping is first-come, first-served and spots fill quickly.
Prepare for self-sufficiency, as there are no water or cell services available.
Check road conditions before your trip, as the access road is unpaved and rough.
Explore nearby camping options in case Succor Creek is full upon your arrival.

When to go

Succor Creek State Natural Area is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. Summer can be extremely hot, and winter may bring challenging road conditions.

Know before you go

Prepare for remote conditions; there are no pay phones or cell service, and no staff on-site.
Access is via a 15-mile dirt road; ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain.
Bring all necessary supplies, including water, as none is available in the park.
Respect the natural area; limited souvenir collecting by rock hounds is permitted.
Be aware of wildlife and practice safe viewing from a distance.

Succor Creek Campground

Been here twice now. Beautiful canyon with red rocks shooting from both sides. A great place to camp, hike, and explore. Lots of geodes in the area. I've heard it gets hot here (and you need to watch out for ticks). I have always gone in early spring. They upgraded the bridge at the campground so all of the sites on the other side are now accessible by car as well. I have also backpacked here. You can hike in on the right side maybe 1.5 miles max. But nice if you want to backpack a bit to get away from the parking lot crowd.

My husband and I camped there by the creek in 1966. There wasn't andy camp ground then. We made our own camp fire ring with rocks found there. there was a tunnel across the creek. A big rock near our tent. A couple and their son camped on the other side of the rock. they were form New York. We were from Portland, Or. Our youngest child was 4, our son was 8, and two more girls 10 and 12. We had a wonderful time there. found geodes and thunder eggs up a road . Went back again about 19 or 20 years later and it hadn't changed. Thanks so much for posting these pictures and video's.
