If you live in Oregon, or you are going to be a visitor, a great place to go
ATVing is at the Tillamook State Forest. This State Forest offers some of the
greatest Off-Highway Vehicle or OHV riding trails located in the Pacific
Northwest. While you are visiting the Tillamook State Forest, four of the
main areas to go to enjoy the trails are called Jordan Creek, Browns Camp,
Trask and Diamond Mill. Trails located within these areas are perfect for
riders of every nature, from the person just starting out to the novice.
Several times throughout the year, the Tillamook State Forest holds a varying
series of events from Poker Runs, Trials, Challenges, Kids Field Day and
much, much more. There is always something going on with their full
schedule of events.
When you are tired at the end of the day from OHV riding, you can rest your
weary head at one of eight (yes, eight!) campgrounds located within the
Tillamook State Forest. You can choose from the quiet Gales Creek
Campground, perfect for family camping, which also includes access to
mountain bike and hiking trails. The slightly smaller Elk Creek Campground
has 15 walk-in campsites and a small swimming hole great for the kids. Or,
maybe you are looking for a site that is a bit more primitive such as the
Diamond Mill Campground. This is an undeveloped piece of land perfect for
the rugged camper, which is open all year long. The ATVing at the Tillamook
State Forest is a great time to be had by all.
