🗺️ 2026 Camp Locations

Experience Oregon’s most beautiful backcountry landscapes, stage by stage:

(Camp locations are subject to change as permits are finalized.)

Night 1 — McKenzie Community Track

Start strong beneath the towering Douglas-firs of the Willamette National Forest. Celebrate the final stage with your new gravel family.

We are excited to once again partner with the McKenzie Community Track located in McKenzie, Oregon. The beautiful track facilities look like something straight of the movie Field of Dreams as it is tucked amongst the Cascade Mountains and dense Willamette National Forest. Plenty of shade, lawn, and space to spread out. Located just a stone’s throw from the crystal-clear waters of the McKenzie River (perfect for soaking those sore tired legs), it is the perfect spot for the last night of camping.

Night 4 — Gilchrist Resort, Little Deschutes River

Dip your toes in the river, stretch out under the pines, and enjoy your final night of gravel camaraderie.

We are excited to announce that we'll be back at Historic Gilchrist Resort in Gilchrist, Oregon, to host our event on the final night. The resort has miles of beautiful lawn for pitching tents and will help us to condense all of our camp activities and resources into a highly organized and easy-to-navigate footprint. The resort sits on the banks of the Little Deschutes River and boasts amazing sunsets in the evening.

Nights 2 & 3 — Oakridge, Middle Fork Willamette

A rider favorite! Two nights in one spot means extra recovery time — plus epic trails, river swims, and live music in camp.

The perennial favorite of past Oregon Trail participants, Camp Oakridge has EVERYTHING! Located on the banks of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River in Greenwaters Park, the camp location has a beach, swimming in the sparkling waters of the Willamette River, miles of lawn to pitch your tent, large Douglas fir trees to provide afternoon shade, an a cool spot to relax. We will once again be staying two nights at this amazing location. The park is located just a mile from downtown Oakridge, in case you forgot your toothbrush or that ice-cream sandwich is calling your name.
