Cobble Rock Campground

6 Reviews

Cobble Rock Campground, near Prineville, Oregon, is a serene spot that offers a true escape into nature. This off-grid location is perfect for those who want to disconnect, as there’s no potable water or power, making it a great choice for tent and RV camping.

The campground is right on the river, providing stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors have noted that sites along the river offer a bit of privacy, with some spots being more secluded than others. One camper mentioned, “It’s nice to be out there and be so quiet and around other campers that respect the outdoors.”

With fire rings and picnic tables available, you can enjoy a cozy evening by the water. The campground is first-come, first-served, so arriving early is key to snagging the best spots. Reviewers have highlighted the beauty of the surrounding nature, with trails nearby for those looking to explore.

If you’re up for an adventure, the river access is a bonus, though it may require a bit of effort to navigate. The peaceful environment and respect for nature make Cobble Rock a solid choice for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors.

Quick off road camp spot with views and basic amenities.

Not a bad little campground by the river. Like most sites you'll find they have some spots that are definitely "the spot" and if you are the first to snag them then you're golden! This Leaves other spots not as appealing but still they will do. We had a Great view of chimney rock and a direct trail down to the river from our site. We had a good time while we were there.

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.
