About Whisky Camp Guard Station
Whisky Camp, built in the 1940s, was the summer home of a fireguard whose primary duties were to fight and prevent fires, serve as a relief lookout, and perform maintenance on phone lines and trails.
Located in the Tiller Ranger District in southwestern Oregon, the cabin now offers relaxation and recreation for visitors throughout the year. Four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended for travel to this site, and guests must bring several of their own supplies. Please be aware that in winter months guests may need to snowmobile, ski or snowshoe up to five miles one-way to reach the cabin. Consider this winter travel advisory when making your reservations.

If you want a place out of the way, rustic and reliant on what you bring, this is the place for you. Well kept and near a lot of trails, one could easily get lost in this area and enjoy the isolation from highways and mall parking lots. We saw one car drive by the entire time.

Whisky is the best. We did some work on the fence to make it look a bit better, cleaned up the outhouse, tidied up in general. I love whisky.

Lovely historic cabin in a gorgeous setting. Map several ways in, as the roads to it are through a burn and our initial route was blocked due downed trees. Oddly no wildlife was apparent, which made for a bit of a spooky silence, but overall very relaxing. Refrigerator was not functional, so bring a cooler and ice.

Rustic no one else around. Need to find the spring next time. With no water for a shower, two nights was enough.

Mice...Mice...Mice. Kept me up till 3am as they like to party at night. Caught one but it sounded like several more in the walls. They are not accessing the inside of the cabin though. Feels like it needs a solid cleaning and a fresh coat of paint inside to make it feel like a solid cabin vs a little homeless camp. Overall still a great trip.
