Description
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) had a camp at Steamboat Creek from 1933 to 1941. The enrollees made many improvements around area in Umpqua National Forest, working under the US Forest Service, including campgrounds, trails and bridges.
One of the campgrounds developed by the CCC was Island Campground along the North Umpqua River and Highway 138. It is a small, plain campground without special features.
