This is the eastern most OHV campground in the Tillamook State Forest and is the recommended staging area for novice and amateur OHV riders. The area provides many types of fun trails, secluded campsites right on the banks of the creek and plenty of shade. The creek that flows through the campground is a little muddy/cloudy, and the sharp rocks don't make it very suitable for swimming, but it's deep enough do a little wading to cool off. Most trails are looped, and all trails are marked and rated for difficulty. Most of the runs are twisty and narrow, but plenty wide enough for ATVs. The trails often offer an easy way around the deep rutted or technical spots. Our only complaint might be that the turns are not well banked, so trails don't have very good flow for faster riding, but overall, Browns camp is a very good choice if you like the woods.
