About House Rock Campground
House Rock Campground is perched on the confluence of Sheep Creek and the South Santiam River in an old growth forest grove. The campground road and parking spurs are composed of packed dirt and rock. The double-loop area comes with accessible vault toilets and drinking water from hand pumps. Picnic tables, campfire rings and grills are at each site. Campers enjoy hiking the [House Rock Trail](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/willamette/recreation/recarea/?recid=4325), which starts at the day-use area. Part of the trail shares paths with the historic [Santiam Wagon Road](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/willamette/recreation/recarea/?recid=4321), a trail used to transport livestock east across the Cascade Mountains to central Oregon's grasslands. In addition to the House Rock Trail, hikers have access to a variety of other trails in the Tombstone Pass Area, like the Iron Mountain Trail.…
