Linn County Conservation is pleased to offer over two dozen campgrounds, lodges, shelters
and cabins for public use. While many of these facilities may be reserved, some are managed
on a first-come, first-served basis. Following is a brief description of various facility
types.
CABINS - Five overnight cabins are available at Pinicon Ridge Park and the Matsell Bridge
Natural Area. Each cabin has different amenities ranging from the primitive, "hike in only"
Red Oak Cabin at Matsell Bridge to the Pintail Cabin at Pinicon Ridge with two bedrooms,
full kitchen, air conditioning, heat and a bathroom with shower. Reservations are required.
CAMPGROUNDS - Family campgrounds are managed on a first-come, first-served basis and
provide sites for five or fewer people. Sites cannot be reserved. Camping fees are
paid by self-registration in the campgrounds. In general, the camping season is from
April 15th - October 15th. (River and ground conditions permitting.) Campground
amenities vary from primitive to 50 amp electrical service, water hook-up and dump
stations.
GROUP CAMPGROUNDS - These campgrounds are designed for groups of 6 people or
more and must have a minimum of three camping units. Reservations are required.
The group camp at Morgan Creek is managed as a "pack-in" facility only.
LODGES - These are completely enclosed buildings with outdoor patios and grills.
They are usually equipped with the following: kitchen area with stove, refrigerator,
sink and counter tops; indoor restrooms; a fireplace with some wood provided; and
folding tables and chairs. Lodges are heated (except Wakema), but are NOT AIR
CONDITIONED. Reservations are required.
SHELTERS - These are open-air facilities which provide picnic tables on a concrete
floor. Each shelter has the following: electrical outlets (except White Oak) and
pressurized water for drinking; pedestal stoves for grilling; and a nearby pit-vault
restroom. Some shelters have serving counters, nearby horseshoe courts, playgrounds,
and, possibly campgrounds. Reservations are required.
Making a reservation includes payment of both the reservation fee and a refundable
clean-up/damage deposit. Reservations may be made up to one year in advance of the
date of use. You may request a reservation online, or contact our Conservation Headquarters.
