Carla Young

Campground Maintenance

Carla and her family have deep roots in Wallowa County. She was born and raised in Wallowa County and graduated from Enterprise High School in 1973. She is a fourth-generation Wallowa County resident. Her family homesteaded in the Zumwalt area and rode the trail with the Nez Perce to the lower Imnaha for the winter months.

Carla handles the campground maintenance for Wallowa Resources and has been in this position for eight years with us and spent five years with the United States Forest Services (USFS). Carla continuing in this role when WR, in partnership with Wallowa County and Oregon State Parks, took over the campground management from the USFS was a huge asset and made the process seamless. Before giving all her attention to the Campground Maintenance position, she was also an equipment inspector for ground support for the Interagency on numerous fire incidents.

Carla’s love for the great outdoors and Wallowa County’s history makes the campgrounds her perfect office. Carla delights in meeting and greeting campground visitors to share her love of the great outdoors and Wallowa County’s history.
