Managed by the Bureau of Land Management's Vale Malheur Field Office, Cow Lakes Campground sits between upper and lower Cow Lakes in the open range country of southeastern Oregon. Access matters here: approach from the south via Danner Loop Road off Highway 95, then north on Lower Cow Creek Road. Coming from the east on Curly Lodge Road does not connect. The site is free, primitive, and allows pets and campfires. Paddlers have used the lakes, and pronghorn antelope move through the surrounding cattle land. The nearby Jordan Craters Area of Environmental Concern adds a worthwhile side trip. Campers should arrive with water, as no hookups or services are available on site.
