Cal Pines
McArthur, California1 Review1 PhotoGreat getaway property on top of California Pines. Just up the hill from Brown’s Pond and around the corner from Rainbow Pond. You can enjoy a nice camping area in the mountains during the summer. As a forester, I personally love being among the trees, especially the incense cedar and ponderosa pine as the afternoon breeze comes in 🍃🌲

Fremont National Forest Holbrook Reservoir Forest Camp
Fremont-Winema National Forest, Oregon2 Reviews5 Photos30 SavesHolbrook Reservoir, 35 minutes southeast of Bly, Oregon, is an ideal destination if you’re seeking a quiet, forested setting for fishing and leisure. Holbrook Reservoir is one of three major points of interest in the Lofton Recreation Area. The reservoir is stocked on a rotational basis. There is a boat ramp and dock, and boats with electric motors are permitted. Ponderosa pines dominate the landscape and make for a cool and shady campground. Holbrook Reservoir features four designated campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, grates and two vault toilets. There are about eight dispersed sites throughout the campground that have no amenities. This is a popular campground during hunting season in the fall. In the winter, snowmobilers often ride their snowmobiles from Quartz Mountain Sno-Park to Holbrook Reservoir. There is no potable water. Visitors need to pack plenty of water.

Be the first to review!Lakeview, OregonCamas Sno-Park, which is at an elevation of 5,680 feet, is located about 20 minutes from northeast of Lakeview, Oregon, off of Oregon Highway 140.

Wild Goose Meadows RV Park
Convenient overnighter
This place is under new ownership and they claim to be sprucing up the place. This may be so, but the restrooms are in need of repair, no electric outlets in bathrooms and one small sink, primitive mirror and a board shelf, no vanity, two out of three toilets in the ladies room are out of service and my wife said it smells awful. She spoke to another camper about it and they said they reported it earlier and nothing has been done yet. A little road noise but not too bad at night. Some shaded areas and all gravel. No fire rings or picnic tables. I’m assuming gas fire pit only as there are no fire rings
Oregon Outback RV Park
FANTASTIC place to camp with Family in RV or tent
Absolutely fantastic experience at Oregon Outback RV Park! We recently had the pleasure of hosting our family reunion here, and I can’t say enough about how perfect it was. The owners went above and beyond by reserving the entire park exclusively for our family, creating a private and intimate setting that made our reunion truly special. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean and well-maintained the entire site was. The stunning view of Abert Rim added to the charm, and being nestled among the trees made for a picturesque and serene backdrop to our stay. But what truly set Oregon Outback RV Park apart was the warmth and kindness of the owners. They were not only incredibly accommodating but also genuinely wonderful people who made us feel right at home. Their hospitality was a highlight of our stay and added an extra layer of joy to our gathering. If you’re looking for a great family camp experience, look no further. Oregon Outback RV Park is a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of cleanliness, charm, and heartfelt service. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to create lasting memories with our loved ones. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and delightful camping experience!
Sully's RV Park
Great spot when passing thru
Needed a place while heading north. Easy to find. Inexpensive free shower and had access to do laundry. Worked well for our camper van.
Close to the wild refuge. Walked the 3 mile loop before heading out of town. Super close
Casino is also within a few miles. Penny slots
Howards Gulch Campground
Small wooded FS camp
If you need a spot dont moss this one! Easy access from highway though only a 1/4 mile to CG sign . Did not see a Howard's Gulch sign. Clean, quiet, some road noise IF a vehicle goes by. Lots of trees, a short hiking trail, good tasting water. Probably won't accommodate big rigs 35' max????
Mud Creek Campground
Nice spot just unbearable with mosquitoes
It’s a nice spot for a night but plan to stay inside the entire time. When I pulled up people were leaving and told me it’s infested with mosquitoes to the point they’d rather go into town and get a hotel for the night. If you dare to go outside you’ll be eaten alive spray or not I tried. I’m from a rural farm town in Alabama. We get a good amount of mosquitoes down south but this is out of this world. Oregon should look into spraying the area truly.
I’d also like to add I’m towing a 30 foot TT and my roof was touching The tree branches on the way in. I would not recommend a 5th wheel or anything longer. It’s tight.
Edit: after I got to my next spot I noticed tears on my rubber roof. Highly recommend no 5th wheels and tts be extra careful if you decide to try and boondock here.
Plum Valley Campground
Plum Valley
We pulled in a 16ft camp trailer with no problem. Plenty of camp sites to choose from. There are a lot of trees to navigate with larger trailers. 19 ft trailer may be the max. Very peaceful
Lava Beds National Monument Road
Beautifully Park, great camping
First time I stayed in a campground with heated bathrooms which was great because we pulled into camp during a storm. I do not snow camp so that was a blessing. Next day was beautiful. Even though it is a National Park the rangers allowed us to collect dead and down wood for the fire. They do not sell firewood in the park. Views were spectacular and so much to do and see. Definitely coming back to finish exploring the park.
Drews Creek
Quiet and small
A small quiet campground near, but not on Drews creek. Only space for about 4 maybe 5 RVs. All sites great for tents. There are no services - no water, no electric, no dump. It does have two very nice and clean modern pit toilets. We had no cell service.
Plum Valley Campground
Ideal campground
Came here for the eclipse and had no trouble on the roads. Free campsites with vault toilets, tables, and fire pits. Enjoyed the sound of the river while camping.
Oregon Outback RV Park
Excellent! Beautiful views, friendly owners.
We stayed here when we were sunstone hunting. It was a last-minute reservation and when we first called they didn't have a spot for us. Emily called back quickly and let us know she managed to make it work for us. They are the sweetest people ever!
The perfect spot to come home to after a long day of rockhounding.
We are going back again in two weeks for a five day stay!
Fremont National Forest Holbrook Reservoir Forest Camp
Really Nice - Waterfront Sites
Lots of mosquitoes but worth it. Sites were large and toilets were clean. Don’t just stop at the first section like we did, there are sites along the back of the lake too, go past the 1st lot with the bathrooms (don’t take the sand road, take the next right after that) and follow until you find a site you like.
Junipers Reservoir RV Resort
Tranquil, beautiful spot
Beautiful spot, quiet, west of Lakeview approximately 11 miles. Easy to access, sites close together, bathrooms with showers very clean. Friendly accommodating staff.
Stough Reservoir Campground
Roads not cleared at this time! (early May 2023)
Not much to report here, other than be aware of snow in May. We tried to get to this campground but were blocked by too much snow in the road. Other than the snow the road was in good condition and easy to drive in our class c. The website lists the status for this campground as “area not cleared,” so presumably if you have a vehicle that can get through the snow, then you’re ok to go camp here.
Also as of Spring 2023 there will be a $15/night fee, so no longer free. Zero cell service here.
Cedar Pass Campground
Great and Free
Sweet little free USFS campground that is open (previous review and Google maps list this as permanently closed). Campground is free and first come first serve. It’s very basic- there are picnic benches and fire pits at each site, as well as several pit toilets throughout the campground, but otherwise there are no services. There’s no host and no trash service and the sites aren’t even marked or numbered.
The Verizon phone had basically no service, just some sporadic in and out, but practically unusable. The cell booster didn’t help. The ATT phone has some service, not great, but usable for texting and light browsing.
The creek runs right through the campground and some of the sites are just right on the water. The sound of the creek drowns out most of the noise from the road (except for the big trucks), so you have the perfect scenario of easy access from the road but not much road noise. There were no other campers when we stayed here on a Saturday in mid May. One person was here to walk her dogs for a bit but otherwise we had the whole place to ourselves. There was still some snow on the ground and it looks like there’s a second entrance to the east but that road was blocked by snow. The website says that the vehicle limit is 17ft, but I’m not sure why. We had plenty of room for our 26ft class c. I could see large class As or 5th wheels having trouble navigating the narrow forest roads.
Mile High Trailer and RV Park
Easy stop
We were driving through and didn't make it to our next destination due to weather. Making a reservation on the road was easy online. Got our spot number and just pulled in and plugged into the power. Not much here but you get power, water, sewer and trash. Great little RV spot. You need to back in though. Only 6 spots here.
Lower Rush Creek Campground
Great USFS campground right of hwy
Free usfs camping! Secluded little campground right off 299. Follow directions on Dyrt app as coordinates don’t quite take you to the actual campground. There is signage as you turn off 299 but mileage is off. Pit toilets, trash and seasonal? water (was off when we were here in late October). Sites may be small for a big rig but fit our van with plenty of room.
Lake County Fairgrounds
For us, this was a nice overnight stop to beat the heat!
Although we had new solar, it was too hot to depend on that alone for the night, so my wife found this location. It was not a bad night's stay.
There are a few sites, all on dirt/gravel slots, no trees in the parking area. Nearest to the shower-bath house are double sites, a plug, 30-amp power and water for each side of the power box, and out towards the street are more like single sites, my wife was told those sites are for bigger rigs. The RV parking all looked like relatively new installations for the water and power.
Full hook up is water and electric with a dump station on site, no at site dumping available, for $25.00.
There is a pay station located at the shower-bath building with pay envelopes to fill out and drop in a lock box.
Bathrooms were actually very nice and clean. One side is the two bathrooms the other side two shower rooms.
The showers cost $3 or 5 dollars IN QUARTERS ONLY, and there is a change machine by the bathrooms if needed. As we were in our small Micro-Minnie Winnebago we opted to try the shower room. My wife and I paid the $3 for both of us and used the shower at the same time. Good water pressure, clean room, warm water.
We didn't need to dump, but it wasn't said well on any signage we saw, and we believed paying for full hook up was also to mean dumping was paid for. It costs $5.00 to dump if you don't pay for full or just need to stop and dump.
As there were no directions we were unsure how exactly you were supposed to park to be in "your site" so we just kinda went with it and parked to be able to stay connected to our truck without the truck sticking out too far in the driving lanes in case others came in to stay. There were only three RVs at the location that night, including ours, so it wasn't crowded.
It seemed like the back of the RV was supposed to be at the power water connection, but we never did find out for sure.
Since this visit was during the heatwave of July 2022, it was VERY nice to have power for the night, and we had our rig A/C on all night long.
It was a very quiet night, and if we were in in the region again, as long as the fair isn't going, we wouldn't have any problem staying there again. Overall a nice place, and we saved a lot of money from staying at a regular RV park. Nothing fancy but not bad either in our opinion.
Oregon Outback RV Park
Safe, clean and friendly
Owners were friendly and willing to help us with whatever needed, including giving good directions to some of the beautiful local scenic sites. We loved the big shade trees and green grass at our group’s 3 sites. Plenty of room for our big RV’s in the easy pull-through sites. We stayed 2 nights on our way through the Oregon outback and would definitely come back.
Abert Rim Oasis RV Park -PERMANENTLY CLOSED
Essentially a year round RV park
Private “campground” near Lakeview, Oregon (right along the Northern California border) functions more like a year round RV park; most of the residents are permanent although there are spots for travelers passing through. Call ahead for availability to make sure there’s space and they can accommodate your rig.
In total, the owner told me that they have 18 versatile sites they keep for travelers that can accommodate tents. Six of them are pull thrus with electric hookups, and five of those have water hookups. Dump station is not available on site. Friendly folks in the off chance you ever find yourself in this neck of the woods!
Jane's Reservoir campground
Proximity to Alturas at least
This is a middle of the road, nothing particularly special about it campground. There’s a small lake/pond nearby with fishing but that’s the primary draw; you can hike or drive to additional decent fishing throughout the Sierras but don’t expect a major nearby body of water to give the place a nice ambiance. Mosquitoes are aggressive despite the altitude. It’s first come first served (and almost always has space available because it’s a bit off the beaten track). Two vault toilets in a degrading state of cleanliness.
Note that there are no services here, including no potable water. No trash service so please pack everything in and everything out.
Fee Reservoir Campground
Beautiful and little trafficked spot near Fort Bidwell
This campground is HIGH up in the mountains (over 5,000 feet) so remember sunscreen, water, and the fact that it’s going to get plenty cold at night regardless of the season. There is a lot of BLM boondocking activity in this area so it’s nice to have an actual campground.
There are seven sites in total and according to signage you can stay for a maximum of 14 days. This is plenty even when you take into consideration the vast number of hiking trails and off circuit lakes to explore. It’s a beautiful corner of California and highly underrated.
RVs can fit in these spots but the maximum length is about 24 feet. Vault toilets. No camp host and no cell service.
Wild Goose Meadows RV Park
Now named Wild Goose
A really fun RV park with good shade. The owners were extremely nice and helpful. We could see Oregon’s only geyser erupt from our site!
Willow Creek Campground
Tranquil campground within forest
Very peaceful campground nestled in the forest. Sites were clearly defined with fire rings and picnic tables. Pit toilets were surprisingly clean given the remoteness of this campground. There are several dirt road trails from campground offering various hiking options.
Road to campground was easily accessible by 2WD.
Only concern we had were the abundance of mosquitoes. Would go again.
No cell coverage.
No cost; FF campground.
Oregon Outback RV Park
Amazing night sky
Small little rv park. Owner is very friendly and accommodating. Site was huge and spaced out. Bathrooms were clean. Quiet. It was amazing. Scenery was awesome.
Fremont National Forest Holbrook Reservoir Forest Camp
Pretty campsites on a pretty lake/reservoir
This campground appears to be the same campground as another Dyrt Campground listing for "Holbrook Reservoir." There appear to be about ten campsites dispersed around the reservoir in at least three different locations. The main campsite sits at the south end of the reservoir near the small dam. It has a boat ramp, a picnic table and a toilet. On the west side of the reservoir there are two different areas with at least one of them having a pit toilet. Each area appears to have three campsites, but not all have a picnic table. Most sites have a beautiful view of the reservoir.
When we were there in early June, the reservoir had been stocked. Although we are not fisher folks, we enjoyed the birds that were enjoying the fish: white pelicans, ospreys, Buffleheads, Double-crested Cormorants, and a Bald Eagle.
It is fairly remote with no cell phone coverage.
We were able to park our 20 foot trailer near the lake. The roads coming in are pretty typical forest service type roads requiring you to go fairly slowly and watch out for potholes.
Willow Creek Campground
Nice little park right outside Heppner
Enjoyed the tent site and it had a nice shower.
Mud Creek Campground
A great spot with very nice camping spots
We had the place to ourselves till our friends showed up for the weekend.
