Griz Flat (Grizzly Flats) - Wenaha Wildlife Area
Free camping at Griz Flat, the second of the two designated camping areas named in the Wenaha Wildlife Area rule (OAR 635-008-0170), about a mile down the Grande Ronde road from the wildlife area headquarters near Troy. Like the headquarters it is open YEAR-ROUND, while the rest of the wildlife area closes to the public January 1 through March 31. No fee and no parking permit -- Wenaha is not one of the fifteen ODFW areas where the $8/day parking permit applies. THE RULES, PLAINLY: camping is only allowed in designated campsites, 14 days maximum in any 30-day period. Drive only on open roads and parking areas, with up to 300 feet off an open road allowed to reach a campsite. Campfires only at campsites; no open fires during designated fire closures. Domestic sheep and goats are prohibited. Note there is a muzzleloader shooting range at Griz Flat operated under posted rules, so expect gunfire nearby -- firearms discharge is otherwise only allowed here during authorized game bird and game mammal seasons. HONEST CAVEATS: the coordinate comes from OpenStreetMap, which maps this as 'Grizzly Flats Campground'; the wildlife area rule calls it 'Griz Flat'. We could find no visitor-facing description of the actual sites, so treat it as primitive -- bring water, expect no hookups. Confirm current conditions with the wildlife area office, 541-828-7721, especially in fire season and in winter.
