Best Equestrian Camping near Fort Rock, OR

We were headed to Thompson Creek reservoir, but opted for this lovely little FS campground.  We had the place to ourselves the first night and another camper came in for the 2nd.  Easy pull-through site, pretty level and fit both rigs.  Otherwise plenty of room between sites.

It was a bit of a trek down gravel roads to get here.  Took it easy, though, and no problems.

 Lovely walks and hikes to be had.  Beautiful stargazing.  Clean pit toilets and clean overall campground.  There were corrals at one end for horse camping.  No cell service. (in 2020)

4 stars only because of the sometimes-washboard road to get here.

From here we visited Crack in the ground, Cowboy Dinner Tree, The Sand Dunes, Fort Rock and Christmas Valley.

There are several places just off Hwy 31 where camping is available.  There will be highway noise, no facilities of any kind, and patchy cell service.  Camped here one night then moved to another area south of Silver Lake up in the forest.

Cozy place great for large groups Has every thing a campground needs

Extremely remote as you can get and still drive in. Absolutely beautiful

Beautiful, remote and quiet. Large camp sites.

Beautiful and open. Easily accessible, close to town, spread out, and has cell service (Verizon).

An oasis. We stopped to check this place out and ended up staying. A steady stream of locals came and went, running the dogs, fishing, playing guitar, even flying model pontoon planes, but it was quiet after dark. We jumped in the irrigation stream to cool off because the pond, even though good sized, looked a bit pondish. I will so visit again!

On my out of Bend,OR after getting my van modified it came time to find the first spot to break it in. I was not disappointed at all to find a secluded spot such as this for a peaceful overnight stay. Good Verizon service. No trash cans, or bathrooms. Bring a flashlight it gets pitch black.

Camped here for an overnight on the way from Portland down to Nevada. Looks like it would be a great spot to enjoy for a few days, but it was still perfect for an overnight rest with gorgeous mountain sunrise views in the morning

Not bad for a quick night close to Bend. Not crowded, but most established sites had a lot of trash/litter around. Woke up to some locals walking by. Probably wouldn’t stay again unless we needed to.

This campground and small pond is spread out over what must be 20+ acres of scattered sage brush and Juniper trees and it's pretty much boondocking. We were here in mid June 2022 with our 19' camp trailer. And I think there might have been three other campers. No amenities - You carry it in, You carry it out. There is fishing in the pond but no motorized boats.

Multiple pull-offs in the area. Fire rings present, but current fire ban in effect so campfires not allowed.

Friday night rest stop boondocking. All to ourselves. One jeep came out after we set up and 2 trucks went past us in at 20:30. Lovely sunset nice place to let dog run.
