Part of the Bureau of Land Management's Lower Deschutes Wild and Scenic River system, this established campground operates year-round along the flowing water.

Campers experience warm days and cool nights with the river running directly outside their rigs. Wind conditions can intensify at times, making secure tie-downs essential for tents and awnings. The Devil's Canyon Campground — Lower Deschutes Wild And Scenic River sits nearby for additional river access options. Bring your own water supply for drinking and cooking needs.
