About Lodgepole Guard Station

The guard station at Lodgepole Meadow was built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps to replace the original station built in 1911. Lodgepole Meadow was used as a remote guard station for the early Forest Service crews working in the area. During WWII, Herb and Zella Wright, a husband and wife lookout team, lived throughout the winter high up on the Blue Rock Lookout several miles away watching for enemy aircraft. Lodgepole Guard Station served as their base camp. Today, Lodgepole Guard Station is a perfect destination for horse enthusiasts, families and those looking for a unique camping experience in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.

Beautiful, remote, quiet, and simple. Enjoyed fishing and hiking near. There was a broken window however that only had a trash bag tacked up/vaguely taped around it when I showed up that, according to the log book, had been broken since the previous fall. Given that it was spring time and still rainy/chilly, this left me freezing inside when the sun wasn’t out. I put more plastic on it and drove into town to buy duck tape the first morning, as well as left a message for the ranger regarding maybe putting up some plywood over the hole. A few days later, someone showed up to check in and said the window was “on order”, which is what the log book had said was also the story 6 months prior.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay though. Would recommend for anyone interested in enjoying Oregon’s beauty without the cell service or electric interference that seems almost impossible to avoid these days!

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
