Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this as a developed campground. Expect marked sites, a fee station or a reservation, and the usual campground rules. The dispersed-camping freedom of the surrounding forest does not apply inside it. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

How it was placed
Developed FEE campground (not free) - review | auto:usfs-fee 2026-08-20: US Forest Service developed campground, agency coordinates, agency states a fee. No dollar amount in the agency record -- expect a charge and confirm the current rate before you go. Not field-verified. | Fee 2026-08-31: $22 per night, single site; $44 double site; $10 per additional vehicle per night; $10 per vehicle per day for day use. The Willamette NF page states the rate twice and the two differ slightly -- $22/$44 in the fee box, $23 single / $46 multiple in the narrative below -- but recreation.gov listing 233339 (0.081 mi from our pin) charges $22 standard / $44 double for the 2026 season, Apr 16 - Sep 6, matching the fee box. Budget $22. Source: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/willamette/recreation/slide-creek-campground.
