Camping near Fremont-Winema National Forest, OR

Accessible by almost any vehicle.  Can be stuck there if it rains, and FS Rd 413 has huge potholes that fill with water and become almost impassable, even with a 4WD.  Firepits and a picnic table at one of the 3 sites.  No services of any kind.  No cell coverage.  Not recommended for winter travel.

It was first come, first served when I was there.  What you expect from free USFS campsites. Fire rings.

Google will take you down some crazy roads. Look at the map before getting on the dirt road and choose the roads that are the straightest; those will get you there easiest. Panhandle rd on the north side of the creek will take you most of the way.

Free. Nice location. Except for generator noise from larger rigs on both sides of our site, this free campground is quiet. Only a few campers here. Sites are not numbered. Picnic areas are mixed in. There are a handful of sites. We were in a pull-thru site along the reservoir. Not level, but okay. Clean picnic table & metal firering on site. Gravel campground road & site driveways. The single vault toilet is stocked & reasonably clean. Several cows were grazing in the area. Some waterfowl on the reservoir. Access to campground from Highway 31 is on a wide & well maintained gravel road. There were a few folks bank fishing. Volcanic rock is everywhere; may make tent camping in some spots hard. Didn't see opportunities for hammock camping. Did not see hiking trails. This was a good campground for an overnight stay. Convenient to Highway 31. T-Mobile LTE service. No AT&T cell service.

One night layover on the way to Crater National Park. Level sites. Well maintained and clean. Right off the river...love the views.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Oregon Outback RV Park! We recently had the pleasure of hosting our family reunion here, and I can’t say enough about how perfect it was. The owners went above and beyond by reserving the entire park exclusively for our family, creating a private and intimate setting that made our reunion truly special. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean and well-maintained the entire site was. The stunning view of Abert Rim added to the charm, and being nestled among the trees made for a picturesque and serene backdrop to our stay. But what truly set Oregon Outback RV Park apart was the warmth and kindness of the owners. They were not only incredibly accommodating but also genuinely wonderful people who made us feel right at home. Their hospitality was a highlight of our stay and added an extra layer of joy to our gathering. If you’re looking for a great family camp experience, look no further. Oregon Outback RV Park is a hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of cleanliness, charm, and heartfelt service. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to create lasting memories with our loved ones. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and delightful camping experience!

Great place to layover. Staff is super. Facilities clean. Has small island where dogs can be off leash and play in the water. Beautiful river. Few folks fly fishing. One star off only for the highway noise - but if you live on or near a busy road or highway you may not even notice it. If the campground was further off the highway, it would be a five. ATT was usable. Didn’t try WiFi.

I had a great experience sleeping overnight in my car at the travel center! Just make sure you ask the cashiers before crashing for the night! Was such a great experience I ended up sleeping there a night on my way into town, and a second on my way back home!

Great quiet camping. Large flat easy to park and hook up. Tent camping also offered. Very clean.

Not the greatest for tent camping but we made it work. We pulled up past the main location where the dirt mounds are. We found refuge for the night off one of the little pullouts and set up camp right by the water. Highway was a little noisy but nothing too bad as it was quiet in the middle of the night. Sunset was perfect. We saw a Coyote on the hill leading to the scarp. 10/10

We loved this spot! We were in Space 2. Right next to the river . No one blocking our view. Very hot. No shade. However,we were right near the bridge to dog island. Once cross the bridge our lab could get off the leash and lose his mind jumping in and out of the river. That was great.
We didn’t have sewer hook ups but that was more than made up for by the pristine bathrooms, showers, and laundry. My wife said that alone makes this a 10.
And you must go to the little dive cafe in Chiloquin for breakfast. I th8nk it was called “Pops”. Right next to the post office. The corned beef was the best I have ever had. And don’t forget the gravy. Give BIG tip. This is a native American town and your tourist dollar goes a long way. I am serious.
Afterwards,go check out the free miniature train ride at Train Mountain. If you have kids it is a must. Really fun And of course, Crater Lake is a must see

This campground is an excellent choice for an overnight stay when visiting Crater Lake National Park. The sites offer flat ground, making it easy to set up a tent. Although it is close to the road, it is secluded enough to provide a peaceful night's sleep. Be aware that during our visit, we encountered many hungry and persistent mosquitoes, so I highly recommend bringing insect repellent and other mosquito-prevention measures.

The tent sites can be found by following an unpaved road downhill from the large parking lot. There are two basic restrooms located at the entrance, but there is no potable water available, so be sure to bring your own. If you don't use the entry restrooms, please practice Leave No Trace principles to keep the area clean and natural. The proximity to Crater Lake allows for convenient early morning starts to explore the park. Overall, it's a great spot for both solo travelers and families looking for a comfortable camping experience.

No frill Forest Service campground in the Fremont-Winemaker National Forest. On a warm June night, it’s a pleasure to have a campground like this entirely to one’s self.

I stayed here on the first night of the Oregon Outback. It is a very small simple designated camping area with a very clean pit toilet and a few picnic tables but nothing else.

A few loggers and Forest service trucks passed on the road, but mostly traffic was cyclists.

Listened to birds and coyotes and enjoyed being under the canopy of stars. Great little spot.

Use to be free for overnight but now costs ten bucks a night with a 5 night max. No hookups as it is a dry camping spot. The casino is smoke-free and pleasant with machines only. No live games. Gas, propane, and diesel are available as is a c-store . Good restaurant with a bar in the casino.
