Great last minute spot

This spot was large and flat, perfect for a night camping in our van. It's fairly close to the road so expect some road noise. After making coffee in the morning, we took a short walk to enjoy the view. We'll definitely remember this spot if we're passing through again.

Secluded and beautiful

Nice couple spots around a couple big piles of dirt. Some fire rings and no one around. Very windy in the tent.

Handy Stopping Point

We kind of stumbled into this free spot while heading to a more formal campground near Pelton Dam. As the daylight faded I spotted a pullout/turnaround area which then led to a rather private loop with a great view of the Deschutes River and Lake Simtustus. I had to confirm with the Dyrt BLM map…
