Camping Information


The Hootenanny itself will be held at the Clark Creek CCC Organization Camp, a large reservable primitive group campground with a covered picnic area, playing field, two brand new wheelchair-accessible pit toilets, 5 Adirondack-style open-air bunkhouses, and running water. (**Note: The photo posted here is not in fact Clark Creek... just a good picture of Poncho and Dan campin' in the desert this Spring.) Use this link to a website offering a little more information about the group site:

The group campsite, “Clark Creek,” we have reserved is along Fall Creek, a popular camping destination just outside of Eugene, and there are several more first-come-first-serve campgrounds very nearby, just downstream/down the road. Our hope is that many of the folks that intend to spend the night after the wedding will stay at these campgrounds for their convenience (this way one can set-up camp in close proximity to their vehicle, and also so as to not over-crowd the Clark Creek group site). The other campgrounds are as follows, and all offer nice sites right on the water of beautiful Fall Creek. A few campsites will fit an RV, but none of the sites have hookups, and are classified as “primitive,” although they all have bathrooms, fire rings, and picnic tables. Please let us know if you are interested in staying in one of these sights (with your RV/trailer/camper/tent etc.) and we will do our best to pay for & occupy them beginning Thursday night, until you arrive with your vehicle on Friday or Saturday.



Fall Creek Campgrounds— listed from Downstream-Upstream:


  • Dolly Varden Campground— (3 sites total, one good spot for a large RV to back in)

  • Private / Unofficial Spot by Big Pull-Out— (one tent site, or room for one RV to park along road)

  • Broken Bowl Campground— (several good creek-side tent sites, walk-in, prettiest, good tenting spot for families/non-all-night-partiers)

  • Big Pool Campground—(5 tent sites, one site possible for a small RV to back-in, kinda close to the road)

  • (Clark Creek Group Camp is located here in relation to the other sites.)

  • Bedrock Campground—(some pretty good spots for RVs here, although it is within the recent Fall Creek Burn, so not quite as scenic but still pretty. One bonus is that there is a possible pull-through RV site here.)


Please let us know if you are interested in any of these sites—remember they are all first come first serve!
