From BLM website; Centered around a single, sentinel Ponderosa Pine tree, this small campground features six campsites and a group use area. Across the Crooked River, the photogenic Rocky Canyon and it’s vertical rimrock cliffs offer photographers a variety of ever-changing light and depth perspectives.

The three nights I spent here in late July changed my life. The solitude and gurgling of Crooked River stayed constant as the hot sun slowly turned into the Milky Way. Bring water for drinking and plenty of bug spray
