Camp Polk, Protected area near Sisters, Oregon, United States.
Camp Polk Meadow Preserve spans across natural grasslands intersected by Whychus Creek, providing habitat for numerous plant and animal species.
Established in 1865 as a military installation, Camp Polk housed Company A soldiers who protected settlers traveling along the Santiam Wagon Road.
The site contains archaeological evidence of Native American settlements and European colonization, documenting the transformation of the Oregon Territory.

The Hindman barn, constructed in 1871, stands as the oldest recorded structure in Deschutes County and remains on the original camp grounds.
