This camp is bisected both by The Burnt River and Deer Creek, and is near the Association’s recent acquisition on Cave Creek. The main stream and its tributaries have been the source of millions of dollars in gold. But like the Mother Lode in California, early miners didn’t get all the gold. Gold is still found along the high benches north of Interstate 84, where earlier mining operations reached bedrock. Burnt River Camp is about 11 miles west of Durkee (just south of Baker City). The all-weather access road is suitable for all types of vehicles, even trailers. The camp consists of 2 properties totaling about 167 acres of deeded land which includes a clubhouse, sanitary facilities, dump station and plenty of room for self-contained recreational vehicles. There is a full-time caretaker on the property.
