Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources.
Dispersed camping is generally allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. Camping limitation rules vary per office, please check with your local office for details on camping limitations. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska). Campsite Selection

Not all flat spots are sites. If possible, please use existing sites to avoid creating new disturbances. To further protect your public lands, campers must not dispose of any refuse, hazardous materials, sewage, or in any manner pollute the surrounding area.
States may have additional requirements or restrictions for dispersed camping. Please see Regional Information before planning your trip.

Virgin Valley Campground
Best free campsite ever
Truly had the best time at virgin valley, only stayed one night sometime this past week and I’m so glad we did. ~2mi down a dirt road off of 140, you do not need ORV/4x4 just go slow and even a sedan will be fine. A lot of the sites are wide open but there are a few with tree cover &/or grass. We tented it and the weather was great, cold at night. The hot spring was warm (not hot) as others have said but it was still LOVELY. It’s great to find the warmer vent spots and just relax for a while. There are two running spring fed showers and drinking water by the spring. Also some pit/vault toilets scattered around the camping area- the one by our site was the CLEANEST pit toilet I’ve ever used in my life- dare I say it smelt good ! The only qualms I could see for some is there is zero service for AT&T (a pro for us but a con for some) and if it was seriously hot there isn’t much space/shade to escape the heat.
Will also end this with the only downside to our visit which was that we were woken up at 6am to a family of ~6 with 3 little kids SCREAMING in the hot spring. They had absolutely zero social awareness that there were clearly 8+ groups asleep and were yelling their conversations before sunrise. Unsure if it’s common for others passing by to visit just for a dip (and be as loud as these guys were) or if this was an anomaly but it certainly made for an early morning & a quick move-on.

Hot springs
Loved the sound of the creek by the camp, hot springs wasn’t to hot, no shade so come prepared in the summer
Burshy Point Dispersed Camping
Great bird watching!
We drove our van right up near the water in a quiet nook. Spent one night enjoying the many shore birds, a beautiful sunset and a refreshing cool night. I would not recommend swimming in this active wildlife reservoir! Most camping sites were private, separated by sage brush, and did not have toilets, so best for self-serving vehicles- or if you are ok walking down the road a bit. Will have to come back for stargazing after the wildfires die down.
Burshy Point Dispersed Camping
Nice view
Didn’t camp just checked it out. Not sure you can swim in the water, didn’t have my water shoes on to try. It looked like more like a pond on shore could be mucky. Not a long drive in, didn’t look like a place to swim. Not a place we would camp.
Willow Creek - Willow Creek Hot Springs
Great views
I think a lot of people go there for the hot springs, only a few stayed and camped. It was tidy, be sure to bring your own toilet paper just in case. Quiet and beautiful!
Willow Creek - Willow Creek Hot Springs
Wonderful Place to Relax
First, do not use Apple Maps to get here. It will take you a turnoff two miles away and leave you wondering what to do next. Google maps will take you right to the vault toilet.
Second, if you’re looking for a HOT spring, this one might disappoint. It’s warm for sure but not hot at all.
Contrary to a previous poster, I saw no nudists here. Also disappointing but in this area, maybe I should count myself lucky.
The bathroom had no toilet paper. We left a roll, but it seems this is a continual problem.
That’s all the negatives.
Star gazing here is incredible. You’re 150 miles from any real metro (McDermit doesn’t count).
Nice deep fire rings that are safe with nice grill racks on them. Some sites can get muddy after a rain or melt off and one or two were actually under water when we were there.
We had a blast here though. Lots of walking around room. I would imagine this place gets packed on a weekend or holiday. We had the place to ourselves in a Tuesday night with the exception of an older gentleman in a bus who was very friendly.
Any vehicle can make it in here. It’s 25 miles of dirt road but it’s well maintained and 40mph is perfectly doable until you get to the turnoff to the site. The one mile stretch getting in there from the main road isn’t as well kept but you could still do it in a corolla.
We were also lucky enough to see a herd of antelope on the way in. Photos attached.
Fish Spring Dispersed
Remote, desolate & nearly perfect......
On Thursday (10/12/23) I left home with the plan of driving to the Virgin Valley Hot Springs via 299/8A to see the Annular Solar Eclipse. I arrived at the state line a tad later than expected and followed a beautiful graded 'dyrt' road. The first camp I came across was Fish Spring. I saw some open spaces and figured things were going to get busy with the eclipse, so I grabbed a spot. Beautiful simplicity!!! No real defined spots, but several areas of access. Some pull-throughs were occupied by RVs, other spots had nothing but a car/tent combo. One vault toilet was very clean & well-stocked with paper. I could not find the spring or water spigot. There is a horse corral but looks to be in poor condition. A sign requests "pelletized feed only'. There were only a handful of fire rings and no picnic tables. This was my camp for 2 nights. The following day I drove the rough Mud Spring Canyon Rd to the Royal Peacock Mine & Virgin Valley, and on Saturday, witnessed the Annular Eclipse from here.
Virgin Valley Campground
Wow! This was FREE too
What a stunning campground. We were passing through the area needed a nights rest. We want to come back n stay 2 nights to explore the wildlife area AND enjoy the warm spring. High desert setting was amazing.
Royal Peacock opal mine
Great find!
$10 per person - shower, laundry, water, Wi-Fi and trash included. Nice people. Stay behind the laundry building for more privacy. We looked at the Virgin Valley campsite on the way and it was full of weekend partiers, happy we moved on, I’d stay here again. Long dirt road to get out there but it was smooth.
Alvord Hot Springs
Weekend stay at the playa
The camp ground was great. It has the basic needs for most camper trailers. There are a few sites there with shore power but I didn’t see any water hook ups. There is water there if you need to fill up jugs, tanks or water bottles. There is a single flushing toilet that is available for overnighters as well as small store with food and drinks for sale. The staff was very nice and helpful. Be aware of the wind! Our first night in our teardrop was pretty rocky. Almost lost our awning because the gusts were at or above 60mph. We talked to the staff and they said to orient the trailer front towards the mountains. It seriously helped a lot. If you tent camp, I would recommend some sort of windscreen or just use your vehicle to block it somehow. Overall the scenery is majestic and is worth the drive out there. 10/10
Alvord Desert
DUST! But will do it again!
We camped 3 nights with a group, with our hot air balloons. But a great time! Flew balloons and a drone, road ATV's, watched a plane fly in and flip over on landing (a bunch tipped it back over and off he flew) and, OH, the stars!
Hot in the summer, beware of the mud after a rainstorm, but otherwise an amazing experience!
Willow Creek - Willow Creek Hot Springs
OUTBACK OF OREGON
I love this place, but be warned. It usually has people bathing in the hot springs nude. Some older people treat this location as a nudist colony. Luckily I don't mind and my kids are all adults and don't do adventures with me anymore. If you have kids, tread carefully. Usually there are many locals here and I never get the chance to jump in the hot springs since many monopolies the spring. I do like this area for 4X4 excursions, and off trail hiking. Sometimes Coyotes can be heard howling in the early morning hours of around 4:00 AM. Lots of birds for bird watchers, and a nice little creek. Stargazing is a must and very beautiful. The road is gravel and I suggest a truck or a 4X4 vehicle. It is not a must, but it makes it easier. I would have given this area five stars, but having no real access to the hot spring is a bummer so I give it three stars. Anywhere in Oregon's outback is a good day.
Virgin Valley Campground
Beautiful warm springs and amazing stars
This is a simple campground...spaces laid out across the desert, pit toilets and a water spigot. The warm springs are awesome... a large pool with 90 degree water, and a bathhouse with two continuous flow springwater showers. Remember to take your trash with you.
Willow Creek - Willow Creek Hot Springs
Quiet & Out of The Way
The road here, yes, it’s 25 miles of gravel. The first 3 miles were great! We drove top speed of 55, then for the next 22 miles our top speed was 10mph. With having a camper truck the washboard road was more than it could handle.
We stayed in the spot next to the last spot in the camp, right next to a stream. At night we heard animals walking through it, it was beautiful. The most beautiful sunset also.
We took 2 dips in the pools. One during the day light and one after dark when the air cooled off.
The bathroom was very clean and no TP. We left a roll there and noticed someone else did too. So bring TP because there might not be any. No water resources so pack enough for your stay. We only stayed one night then headed off to Heart Mountain.
It was so beautiful and peaceful here, we would definitely stay again. Not a lot of campers as we stayed on a Tuesday night.
Alvord Desert
Beautiful but beware of sand storms.
Choose tent wisely. A late night sandstorm came through and ripped our rainfly and tent was covered in sand. Had to sleep in car. I should have brought the smaller backpack tent. Beautiful place though. One night was enough.
Virgin Valley Campground
Best hide away with dispersed camping
Our trip was so amazing when we visited this camp site. We went opal mining and this campsites are right there at the entrance. It was so convent and beautiful. My favorite things about this spot.
- the view
- the fact that this is a free site and they still have bathrooms.
- the shower ( it's not temperature controlled and in a creepy spider webbed filled barn thing. But I totally loved that it added to the experience.)
- the little pod! So wonderful after a day in the sun mining.
Things I didn't like
- it's right in the valley the wind was CRAZY! almost blew over the tent. We had to put everything in the tent to keep it down.
It was also INCREDIBLY difficult to get the fire started because of the wind. With all the fire starters we had it took us a long time to get the logs to catch because the wind kept changing and putting it out.
- be aware some people drive ATV, motorcycles and stuff around the camp area.
- the ducks or what ever screaming all night. Normally I love the sound of nature at night but it sounded like people were murdering ducks all night. It was a bit much.
Alvord Desert
Desert dreaming under the stars
To truly feel the awe of this place it is best done driving out onto the lake bed and sleeping in the wild. You need to bring everything you’ll need. And very important: tag or mark your spot with gps if planning time leave playa to come back. The desert plays tricks on your eyes. The stunning steens mountain range and quiet are unmatched. Hot springs and good hikes and milkshakes nearby. Treat yourself
Alvord Desert
A Must See
This place is unbelievable! The pictures and descriptions can not fully explain the feeling of the Alvord Desert Playa. You should know you have to drive very far on dirt roads to get there. They are a little rough but not terrible. You will want to go slow. I recommend entering through the Alvord Hot Springs. They do charge but their entrance is much better than the Frog Spring entrance, which is very rough and not well maintained. The staff at the Alvord Hot Springs is also very knowledgeable on the area. You cannot have fires on the playa and there is no water so plan accordingly. Also the closest gas station is in Fields and the gas is very expensive. If you are thinking about going here just go. We had a camper van so we were not concerned about the elements. Do your research before you go and it will be an experience you will never forget. I can't wait to go back!
Alvord Hot Springs
Perfect Entrance to Alvord Desert
This camp ground and hot springs is the perfect entrance to the Alvord desert. There are sites with and without electricity as well as bunkers if you don't want to camp. We were in a van and opted for a site with electricity. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Even if you don't stay here I would recommend using this paid entrance to the Alvord desert. They also have a small shop with food and camping supplies if needed. There is a rustic hot springs spot, which is very lovely. We used it twice during our one night stay. The second night we camped on the playa. I would highly recommend visiting the Alvord desert and at least stopping by this spot if you want to enter the playa.
Alvord Desert
Bowl of Stars
Probably the coolest place in Oregon to chill with a shortage of people, quietude, endless stars and a hot spring! You can camp virtually anywhere on the playa. The most popular area is near Frog Springs, where there is a pit toilet. Alvord Hot Springs is about two miles north of Frog Springs. It's pay-to-soak, but it's worth it. To the west the Steens loom, welcoming the setting sun. What I have found alluring about Alvord is the night, its stars, its quiet, its relentless darkness. I've never seen stars so clear. Fall is the best time to visit, but anytime is good if you ask me. Be prepared with lots of water, pack your garbage out and do your best to leave little trace so others after you might share a similar experience.

Willow Creek - Willow Creek Hot Springs
Worth the drive
It’s about 25 miles of dirt road either way you come in. It’s a nice little spot though. 1 vault toilet which was pretty gross. No water. So just be prepared before going out there. The water was clean and we were the only ones out there.
Willow Creek - Willow Creek Hot Springs
Most beautiful place I've ever been
I absolutely loved staying a few nights at this campground. The road in was about 25 miles of dirt, but it was super worth it to be able to swim in the hot springs and get to be around all the cows and dragonflies. Make sure you fill up on gas bc the nearest gas station is in Fields about 40 miles from the camp spots. We would have stayed longer but we were running out of supplies. Highly recommend. Beautiful piece of nature.
Virgin Valley Campground

Stayed here one night while travelling through. Nice hot springs pool, and shower facility. Most sites are primitive only, no fee, firepit and picnic table.
Willow Creek - Willow Creek Hot Springs
Wonderful hot spring down a dirt road
We loved camping here! It was hot during the day and there is no shade. Once the sun started to go down though, it was the perfect time to go into the pools. There are two pools: a warm pool and a hot pool. They’re separated by a man-made divider. The warm pool was the perfect temp.
The hot spring/camp site is about 20 miles down a dirt road, coming from highway 95. The road was well maintained and passable in our small AWD SUV. There were 2WD sedans at the camp too.
• Pit toilet (bring your own TP) • No running water - bring your own • No trash collection - pack it out • A few sites have picnic tables but not all • Site are first come, first served • I had cell service on Verizon. No AT&T service. I recommend downloading offline maps before getting off the Highway. • The site was popular for being as remote as it is. So expect having neighbors and chatty folks in the hot spring. • Bring your own shade!
Alvord Hot Springs
Unique Hotspring Adventure
As I saw mentioned earlier, this is not for everyone. The journey to get to Alvord was long. We traveled Hwy 20 from Bend to Burns, 205 to Fields, Fields-Denio Rd to Alvord. It was a long, very remote drive. The road from Fields is gravel, so be aware. Alvord is right off the playa. You do get an access code with your stay to be able to drive out there. We were warned to stay away if it rains. It turns to mud quickly and you will get stuck. The hotspring is pumped direct from the source. It's murky, unfiltered, unregulated bliss. There are two pools, so you have to get cozy with all the other soakers. The wind was cold and fierce when we stayed. I thought the trailer was going to tip over during the night. We met a many nice people and had fun conversations. Expensive for what it is, but certainly a memorable experience.
Willow Creek - Willow Creek Hot Springs
Quiet dispersed camping by a hot springs
We camped here in mid-September 2014. You can approach this BLM campground from either the Fields-Denio Road or from highway 95. Either way, you will be traveling on a graded gravel road for some distance through the immense Whitehorse Ranch.
There were no site numbers so you just pick a spot. We camped further away from the hot springs in case partiers decided to join us. Thankfully, no one did and we enjoyed the quiet and the amazing sunset and night skies.
There was one small vault toilet which was clean but no tp so that is why we bring our own.
There were two hot springs pools which were the perfect temperature.
