About this place
Shellrock Creek Campground is primitive camping at its finest. It is located on the banks of Shellrock Creek which feeds into the Oak Grove Fork and then eventually the Clackamas River. This campground delivers a feeling of really being" "out there."" Each site is separated by dense growth allowing for camper privacy. Shellrock Creek is a small brook in the woods which creates that tranquil sound of running water which can be heard throughout the campground.
