Big Sheep Camp Offers Remote Backcountry Skiing Base in Wallowa Mountains


Big Sheep Camp is serving as a remote backcountry base for skiers and outdoor enthusiasts in the Wallowa Mountains, offering access through Salt Creek Summit, the highest SnoPark in the region at 6,200 feet. The location provides a strategic starting point for exploring Wing Ridge and surrounding alpine terrain, attracting small groups seeking a wilderness experience.


Access to the camp typically involves a three-mile approach over a 7,500-foot saddle along Wing Ridge Trail 1828, allowing visitors to travel with light day packs while enjoying the surrounding landscape. An alternative four-mile route via Wagon Road Trail offers a flatter and less demanding approach. For added convenience, a porter service is available for guests who prefer assistance with transporting gear.


Situated at approximately 6,400 feet on the 100 Road, the camp offers scenic views and direct access to backcountry skiing opportunities. The setting allows guests to combine travel with recreation, making it possible to ski or explore terrain along the way to and from the base.


The camp features two sleep cabins accommodating up to five guests each, along with shared amenities including a 20-foot kitchen yurt and a sauna. Groups of up to 12 can book the entire site for exclusive use, making Big Sheep Camp a flexible and functional base that blends rustic wilderness living with essential comfort and social spaces.

Absolutely superb place. Brilliant attractions and the animals are great. Ideal for families. The food and facilities are great. WiFi available. Free parking. One real g is the staff. Everyone we spoke to was enthusiastic and helpful. We really felt like they enjoyed it as much as we did. Recommended!

We’d always come up to Devon from East Sussex to visit my great grandparents who’d always take us to the big sheep. One of my best childhood memories is visiting this place. Unfortunately my grandparents passed in 2019&2020, so I hadn’t visited this place in years, the last time I visited was when I was around 14? I’m now 22 and have come up to Devon with my partner and son and we re visited the big sheep yesterday ( October 18th ). We had the best time! It was nice to see that not much has changed, it made me feel like a kid again! This place is just amazing, there’s so much to do and there’s always entertainment on! The animals are just so sweet and we really enjoyed feeding them in the barn! The staff are always so lovely and welcoming too. We fed some lambs which was an amazing experience & the man who hosted the lamb feeding was the same man I had a picture with back in 2013 when I was little! I’m unsure of his name but he had a great sense of humour and was overall really lovely! I’m looking forward to bringing my son here every year so Devon & the big sheep can be a big part of his childhood too❤️

Our family had the most enjoyable and hilarious time here today. This represents, in my opinion, one of the best value days out around. John was incredibly entertaining during Rams on Parade, the Duck Trials and the sheep race, and we also really enjoyed feeding the lambs. The rides are all free, which we did not expect, and we went on the rollercoaster 3 times. The cafe is lovely and the play equipment was really fun for our daughter too. There were also some lovely things which we bought in the shop. Could not recommend this more!
