On River and Super Quiet

we were the only people that stayed here during our 4 day stay. First to note:  This is an off  grid campground NO potable water, NO Power, No Sewage dump, No cell phone service/connection. Yes pit toilet, yes garbage pick up, Yes picnic tables, Yes fire rings.

Sites 1&2 and 8&9 are walk in spots, site 2 is the most private of the walk in's.  None are far to walk, but not for a van or trailer. Sites 3-9 are on river, the rest are off the river itself but have a river view. Site 4 is the only pull through site.

When we stayed it was First come $8 a night.  The Ranger will drive through every day or so (there are several campsites in the near area, some with more ammenities).

I did video tape this campground if you would like see:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXJcw0zXZoI

On the RIver

It is right on the river. Nice parking spots for vans and RV's. Near the road but a little sheltered from the wind.

One of the Many Great Campgrounds in this Area

This is one of the campgrounds in the Lower Crooked River Area and is first come First serve. Most of the sites provide privacy and are not too close to the other sites.  The campground fills up quickly in the summer months, but is fairly open in the fall/winter. Most spots are on the river, but there are still plenty of spots for others to sit/fish at.  Theres a game trail that runs alongside the river.

Ada ok

Great place that’s off the main road. River Ada access is somewhat feasible if your adventurous and have a strong helper. Or if your a bad ass in a chair you can strong arm the technical moves to get up and down. Riverside spots are great, half ass private so hard to beat compared to other camps along the river. A little Dusty front the the gravel road but tolerable. Get early and get the beast spots.
