About North Fork Catherine Creek Campground

The North Fork Catherine Creek Campground is a unique facility since the campsites are spread out for over 1 mile beginning at the Buck Creek road up to the [North Fork Catherine Creek Trailhead](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/wallowa-whitman/recreation/recarea/?recid=52093). Each campsite is set back in the cool evergreen forest and is a popular area in the summer months for those wanting to escape the heat, enjoy the sounds of the stream, view wildlife, or take a short hike along the creek. Also located nearby is the [North Fork Catherine Creek Group Campground](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/wallowa-whitman/recreation/recarea/?recid=52091), that is avalable on Rec.gov for $40/night.
