The Macks Canyon archaeological site is a large, prehistoric village locale overlooking the Deschutes River in north-central Oregon. The site is characterized by shallow, circular, semi-subterranean house depressions, surface artifacts, and riverine shell deposits. Limited excavations conducted in the late 1960's indicate that the site was the location of a winter village occupied by Sahaptin-speaking people of the Columbia Plateau. Although the main period of occupation appears to have occurred within the last 2,000 years, the site may have been occupied as early as 5,000 BC. A campground and boat ramp are situated at the end of the Access Road along the east bank of the Lower Deschutes River. The area is popular with boaters and fishermen. The route to Macks Canyon is also a National Back Country Byway. ADA Access: The archaeological site itself does not have accessible facilities. However, the nearby campground has an accessible campsite, vault toilets and parking.

Pebble Ford is located along a creek and shaded by large, old trees. This small campground is well designed and near the popular biking trails off of Forest Road 44. Located between Eightmile Creek and Ramsey Creek.

We were only there one night. We had a pull through which was nice. Sites were gravel and there was grass in the park, also nice trees. Sites were fairly close together. Nicely stocked shop available. Pool looked nice but we didn't use it. We could smell cigarette smoke which was unpleasant so the park must not be smoke free. Part of why we only give it 3 stars. We felt like it was on the spendy side but park was easy to get to and camp staff seemed pleasant.

Stayed 3 nights and had a great time rafting on the river. Lots of options for RV and tent camping. Group sites are available (3). Restrooms could use an update but functional. All camp staff hosts are helpful and friendly. Will come back again. This campground is popular and books up quickly.
ScoutOverall experience was great…. with a caveat. It’s a small camping park, sites are small and close to each other. However the park is clean and well maintained. Our only issue is that our first night, at about 2am, I was woken up by footsteps outside our trailer window. I looked out to see we hat appeared to be a younger adult male dressed in all black who pulled the coolers and chairs out from under our trailer and pulled two booze bottles out of the cooler and had them on the picnic table getting ready to take them. I opened the door and scared him into running by yelling at him. This is my first time, in 40+ years camping that I’ve had anything like this happen. So at 2:15 this morning, I was outside hauling all of our gear into the trailer. Joke was on him though, the bottles were filled with water to freeze and use as ice. Just beware, this is a nice little park, but don’t leave your valuables out overnight.
We reported it to the office, who told us they’ve been having the issue recently, that they think it’s local teens, but their hands were being tied by local police on how to catch the thieves. I called local non emergency and reported the incident to them in hopes they might step up patrols or something.

Loved this spot. Across the river we watched wild horses. In the river there were birds. During the day rafters come down.
No water available unless you boil river water.
The road down was STEEP! I really overheated my motorhome breaks. Plus a scary, low and narrow tunnel at the bottom.
Guide
The park as a whole is great. beautiful area, deep in the canyon. Great spot for water sports and activities. I'm pretty sure I was the only one camping there that didn't also have boat.
We stayed in Loop B, and campsites were good sized, but limited privacy. But some spots are better than others. We had spot 10, and that one only had neighbors on one side, and behind us was a hill side that led up to the upper loop, so couldn't see/hear anyone up there.
Campground was loud, with a one large group with lots of kids playing a game where everyone was screaming and cheering. But to everyone's credit, when quite time started at 10pm, it was quite. I was pleasantly surprised.
Guide
Cute small campground on a little hill overlooking a lake. Tent sites by the lake's edge.
Very Clean bathrooms with code for campers. Pits for public areas.
Since there are no RV services be prepared to hear some generators running occasionally. Quiet hours 10PM-7AM. Water is available but may not be close enough for a hose to your RV. Most sites have good Starlink view of skies.
Guide
The actual campground was snowed in a bit though high clearance vehicles were able to go all the way in. We ended up in a nice spot just off the road with access to the creek. It’s absolutely beautiful here!
Traveler
Really good spot to get off the grid while still having most amenities. Stayed here for a few days and loved it. About 20 miles of gravel road will take you here and some small Rockwall to semi-worry about. Other than that most people you'll bump into are fisherman or overlanding.
GuideWe stopped here for one night. It was a week day and rainy so not much going on. A lot of pull through spots. Said they would deliver pizzas they make to your site which is nice but we skipped. It wasn’t terrible and we would stay again if in that area.
Traveler
Pretty amazing State Park, lucked on weather. Trails on either side are both nice cruisers on bikes - green runs, but can make them more work, and the views are sublime.  The park amenities were top-notch, including a nice windbreak. Stars at night were spectacular.
ScoutEvery Clean bathrooms staff there is amazing and every helpful too you very quite there it was so nice there
LegendOne of my favorite campgrounds! Stayed here for a rock climbing week at Smith Rock
Guidenot really any privacy between sites; large rigs were playing music most of the night. but the surrounding area and drive into the park is SO stunning. would try staying here again though but maybe in a site on the outside of the loops
LegendNice pool, great staff, quick check in, good sites w/two water spigots, convenient store, food truck and ice cream social tonight! clean showers & bathrooms, good park and good options for pups. I know this isn’t in the KOA’s control but 20,000+ miles on the road and these are the best camping neighbors we’ve ever had - and they’re from all over the Western US.
RangerWe were here in 2021 and thought we’d try again. The campground is clean, and hardly anyone here. Lots of space for established camping. One other site occupied out of 18. Here’s the but. I go off-road a lot. I have never experienced a washboard road as bad as this was for 6-7 miles. I thought the doors were going to blow off the truck. Not an exaggeration. Usually you can adjust speed to plane the wash. Not this time. If they grade the road would have been 4+ stars.
As before the wind kicks up (strong) around 7:30p to 8:30p.
No cell service👎 Starlink 👍
GuideWe were only here for one night and it was raining but the spots were easy and mostly level. Friendly staff and there were horses on beyond the fence my daughter loved watching
LegendDecent campground, nicely kept, clean, very friendly rangers. Really nice and big dog park. Nice hikes right from the campground. We couldn't go to the water, since we only have an RV and no tow car, and it seems that the water is the main draw to this campground. Lots of jet skis and boats and screaming kids.
Cell reception was ok.
We went up to the upper campground on our way out to dump, and there is no water spigot there. Heads up. We flagged down a nice ranger who hooked us up but you may not be able to fill your tanks here.
Sites in this campground vary in size. We fit into one of the tent sites in our 26ft class c. You'll probably have to drive through the loop first before picking a site if you're trying to stay here in an RV.

I’ve camped here for many years, the campground is my absolute favorite. The friendly staff does an amazing job keeping the restrooms, showers and grounds clean. They offer Tent sites, Yurts, cabins, large RV spaces with full or partial hookups, boat rental, store, cafe, fish cleaning station, group shelter with electricity and electric cooking stoves.
ScoutThe park is extremely well maintained. We used what was labeled a “primitive” campsite. Each site is huge and well maintained. There are provided wind breaks and covered picnic tables as well as dedicated fire pits and firewood ready for sale. Be aware of fire season as there are no open flames allowed during certain times of the year. The river was beautiful and flush full of fish and crayfish! We will be making this a regular visit for our outings!

TravelerA shady spot to put up our tent was most welcome. This campground is well-maintained. The bathrooms are clean. The showers are hot and the host was friendly and helpful. A downside is the proximity to the highway and the resulting noise.
LegendStarted our recent road trip with 3 nights at Cottonwood Canyon State Park in the Lone Tree Campground. Best time to be here! So much green and great weather. A bit of rain but plenty of pleasant sunshine! Large sites, generously spaced. Would perhaps prefer the sites around the perimeter but all we’re fine. No hookups. They have cabins as well. There were several possible walks and hikes at varying levels of difficulty. Lots of stars at night. Great area and reservable!
ScoutThe camp ground has 2 sides. One heavy with RVs and Trailers and the other more for tents.
Prices are reasonable but it is popular so often very busy and lots of campers.
Our dog doesn’t like slow moving cars, bikes or other “weird” things…. So this park is a last resort if we can find open BLM.
This is close to the train. I personally love it. I camp in the area often. The train runs once or twice a night. Sometimes it wakes me, most of the time I sleep through it.
The folks that run the camp ground are nice and the place is clean. They have great hot showers if you are staying for an extended time.
TravelerThis State Park is absolutely a beautiful part of the country. The canyon is steep and unique with the John Day river running right through it. The campground is nestled right near the water and has gorgeous 360 views. The campsites are well kept and have all the amenities for a nice pull in site to camp with either a trailer, van, or tent. The only downside is how windy this canyon can get. The state park definitely took this into consideration and provided each campsite with a wooden wind break for tents. So they make it manageable but be prepared! Heads up, there's no cell service at this campground.
ScoutThis is an excellent string of campsites that run right along the beautiful Deschutes River.
It is far enough down the canyon that car traffic is infrequent, but when the Salmon Fly hatch is happening in May the adjacent road is rocking and rolling with anglers driving looking for trout water. The road is washboard dirt, so all the traffic (and typically wind) makes this campsite a bit dusty during the high season. (May-August)
Scout3rd generation in my family to grow up camping there. Cows are free to do their thing in the campground and the entire area. Allowing ranchers to move their cows into the area has greatly destroyed camping and hiking. We stopped camping there 20 years ago. There are some dispersed camp sites in the area though that are better than the campground.

Pebble Ford is a small and sweet campground on the East side of Mt Hood. Not too far from Meadows and Parkdale ... and even not to far for an overnight or weekend away from Portland.
The first come sites are just off of Forest Road 44 >> Dufur Valley Road. There is a main circle of sites (about 3-4 in the main area) and another site on the creek with a separate entrance.
All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. There is a toilet/outhouse, but no running water. There are also a few dispersed sites around the area which are lacking the amenities, but have the bonus of being free!
