OLD MINERS MEADOW GROUP USE

Marion Forks, Oregon

About

Old Miner's Meadow is a two-acre, fenced-in group use area, located in an open meadow surrounded by forests along the Quartzville Creek National Wild and Scenic River and upstream from the Green Peter Reservoir. It is available by reservation only. The area is popular for gold panning, fishing, scenic touring and kayaking. Weekends tend to be busy, so campers should book early. Summer weather is comfortable, but can be cool. Visitors should come prepared for lower temperatures at night. The facility consists of one large group area with no designated campsites. Site amenities include picnic tables, individual campfire rings, a group campfire ring and grill, trash collection, vault toilets and horseshoe pits. The toilets for the site are available to campers on private land just outside the site fence boundary. Groups are required to bring their own drinking water and firewood. The nearby Green Peter Reservoir has emerald-colored waters, mountain views and plenty of space for water activities. Elk frequent the area.
