Situated amongst one of the most stunning landscapes in Oregon, the Slocum Creek Campground of Leslie Gulch sits at the end of a 15-mile dirt road lined by towering rock cliffs, mysterious honeycombed walls and awe-inspiring rock features formed from colorful volcanic ash carved by the powerful and relentless forces of nature. Nearby, the wide Owyhee River flows slowly, giving life to an abundance of flora and fauna, including over 200 bighorn sheep, mule deer, bobcats, coyotes, mountain elk, great horned owls, California quail and bats, as well as seasonal wildflowers like the colorful arrowleaf balsamroot, Indian paintbrush and lupine.

Leslie Gulch is perfect for hikes to dramatic geologic features and impressive vistas, all the while keeping an eye out for wildlife. When the sun goes down, the stars come out, filling the night sky with stars about 45 minutes after sunset. It is a rare sight to see, with no light pollution in this remote area to obscure your view of the heavens.
