  • Collier Memorial State Park Wildfire Recovery Improvements (Chiloquin, OR)

    Collier Memorial State Park features a campground, outdoor museum of historic logging equipment, relocated pioneer village and a four-corral, primitive horse camp and trailhead. The logging museum features rare and antique logging equipment dating to the 1880s, as well as more recent pieces.

    In 2020, the park was devastated by the 242 Fire that ravaged the area in 2020, burning nearly 400 acres within the park. Multiple campgrounds and facilities were damage and/or completely destroyed. The damage included parts of the historic museum and some of the equipment within the museum, a historic cabin, a woodshed, and a host trailer.

    Civil West was contracted by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to help restore the park to pre-fire conditions as well as additional improvements. In order to do this we are currently working on the following projects: Topographic survey of the campground and museum, new civil designs for 20x35’ maintenance building, designs for new roadways and parking lots, civil design for new RV dump station, As-Built drawings, and construction management services.
