Historic Aspen Cabin is nestled in a forest of fir, pine, and aspen, and provides an ideal setting for guests seeking relaxation and recreation in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. It was built in 1930 and originally used as an administrative cabin and fire guard station by U.S. Forest Service employees. It also served as a warming shelter for snowmobilers and cross-country skiers during the 1990s. Today, the cabin offers guests a secluded getaway in a landscape abundant with wildlife and nature. Although the cabin provides some amenities to those seeking a comfortable lodging experience, guests must bring several of their own amenities.

Located on the crest of the Warner Mountain Range at an elevation of 8,222 feet, Drake Peak Lookout hugs the wind-swept land surrounding it, offering unparalleled views into Oregon, California and Nevada. The lookout was built in 1948 and has served as a fire detection site for the surrounding area. Historically, Forest Service personnel lived long seasons in the cabin, scanning the region for lightning, flames, curls of smoke or any other indicator of possible forest fires. At one time, hundreds of these types of lookouts were in service throughout the Pacific Northwest. Today the lookout provides a unique lodging experience for guests seeking recreation and relaxation in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Although the lookout offers some basic amenities, for guests to enjoy their experience completely, they must bring several of their own supplies.
Hiking, stargazing and wildlife viewing are popular activities. The Drake-McDowell area provides solitude for backpackers and horseback riders with spectacular views of the Warner Mountains, Hart Mountain, Warner Valley and Abert Rim. A hike to the summit of Drake Peak is a popular excursion from the lookout. At night the lookout is an ideal setting for stargazing, as constellations and planets put on a dazzling display.
Drake Peak Lookout sits beneath a vast sky, overlooking distant peaks, volcanic landscapes and wide-open sage basins. From its scenic perch, the lookout offers panoramic vistas and glimpses into wild places where visitors can still find solitude. Although the lookout does not sit on Drake Peak, the nearby mountain is one of several high peaks in the immediate vicinity, including Twelvemile Peak, Light Peak and Crook Peak. Composed of uplifted and eroded basalt, and sparse vegetation, views from this mountain offer unobstructed views of unique geological landforms. Diverse habitats support a variety of species. Deer, Rocky Mountain elk and pronghorn find homes in nearby forests, while several varieties of trout inhabit the lakes and streams. In the spring and fall, migrating geese, ducks and swans frame the Oregon sky. Black bears, mountain lions and bobcats, also find homes in the surrounding area.

Bald Butte Lookout is perched atop the windy summit of Bald Butte in the Fremont-Winema National Forest in south-central Oregon. It is surrounded by forested hillsides and expansive views. The lookout was built in 1931 and served as a Forest Service fire detection site for over 50 years. It was constructed from an Aladdin L4 ground-mounted lookout kit in which all of the pieces were pre-cut in six-foot lengths or less so the entire kit could be packed by horses into the remote site. The total cost of the structure at the time was $668.49 and only took a few days to assemble. At one time, hundreds of these types of lookouts were in service throughout the Pacific Northwest. Today only two such structures remain in Oregon, providing a unique lodging experience for guests seeking recreation and relaxation. The lookout offers basic amenities, though for guests to enjoy their experience completely, they must bring several of their own supplies.
Hiking, birding, stargazing and wildlife viewing are popular activities. Bald Butte Trail is a quiet all-season trail that offers a variety of terrain and wildlife viewing opportunities. Hikers traverse large open meadows filled with summer wildflowers, heavily wooded forests and ridgetop scrambles along Oak Ridge Trail and Surveyor's Ridge Trail, overlooking the Hood River Valley. Trails in the Gearhart Mountain Wilderness are also nearby. At night the lookout provides an ideal setting for stargazing, as constellations and planets put on a dazzling display.

Historic Currier Guard Station is nestled in a scattering of fir, pine and aspen, providing an ideal setting for guests seeking relaxation and recreation in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The guard station was named after a local ranch owner, and was constructed in 1933 as an out station for the Paisley Ranger District to house forest fire prevention and suppression crews in the field. Fire crews occupied the station seasonally until the early 1990s. Today, the cabin offers guests a secluded getaway in a landscape abundant with wildlife and nature. Although the cabin provides some amenities for those seeking a comfortable lodging experience, guests must bring several of their own supplies.
Currier Guard Station is a wonderful location for hiking, fishing, horseback riding and biking in summer and early fall. The cabin is located one mile north of the Sycan Wild and Scenic River, a scenic spot for fly fishing. The river corridor winds from a steep canyon to broad meadows, containing a diversity of landforms, rocks and vegetation. Coniferous forests intermingle with riparian vegetation, and expanses of sage and bitterbrush grow in the drier areas. The river supports rainbow, brook, brown and bull trout. Hikers and equestrians will enjoy numerous trails threading through the forest.

We are traveling in a 20’ van. We are at lake view. Big rigs around us, but we dont feel crowded. Trails around. Fishing and just relaxing
Bathrooms (showers and toilet) are close. Need some update but I have seen worst
Has a cafe. Havent been there for food but at check in looked pretty good
Guide
Strongly advise 4x4 to get up there, stayed outside the hut and surprisingly a lot of flys. Perfect star gazing spot.
TravelerCheck in was very slow. The person checking everyone in also had to make coffee drinks and ring in diner sales. I was skipped over for someone else who rushed the line to check in. The store is not well stocked but has some useful items. The boats could use some attention and a fire extinguisher would be a good idea. The gentleman who helped us get the boat out and dock it was very nice! Campfires not allowed right now which is understandable with the fire risks. They have a shower for quarters and a two stall bathroom which are very small. The lake is beautiful!
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt. We're happy to have this property on our platform. Check them out and come back here to leave them some love.

Beautiful spot in the desert the pool and soaking pools are amazing camping was clean everyone super chill incredible views they are fixing and adding new changing areas in the pool area
LegendThis funky little private resort and campground, on the way from nowhere to anywhere, has more than you might expect from first glance. The large, dry camping area offers a large field for folks to spread out without being on top of each other. While there are a handful of hookups sites for RV’s, we preferred the less expensive field option. They have a couple of pit toilets near the field, as well as a full bathroom and shower area. With our solar powered system, we were able to keep our battery topped off while taking advantage of all that the springs have to offer, which is just a short walk away.
They also offer some tiny cabins for rent, each with its own unique rustic charm. The public bath house has a large indoor swimming pool, clean changing rooms, sparkling bathrooms and showers. The outdoor, natural pools are what make this place so unique. Three pools, three differing temperatures helps folks find their own “just right.” The springs have a decidedly rustic charm, with lots of converted farm buildings and antique features, so you might want to adjust your city expectations to a more rural and rougher edged setting. But hot water on a very cold night with views of the starry sky above are just the right about the right cure for whatever ails you.
The springs are located about midway between the larger towns of La Pine and Lakeview, around 70ish miles from each, where you can find large grocery stores and services. A few convenience stores, gas, and post offices can be found in the tiny hamlets along the highway. It is a remote, lovely and quiet spot on the edge of this large lake.
GuideCamping for 4 nights. Pay is per person and $10 extra for full RV hookups. It’s open, and hot. It would uncomfortable without air conditioning. The hot pool and outdoor smaller pools are hot but not super hot. It’s mineral water and lovely to float in the indoor pool. No picnic table or shade. There are cabins.
GuideIn other places I've seen this place reviewed as dingy. What someone expected from a privately run campground on the edge of a massive salt pan expected...I don't know. If you're not into the perfectly imperfect it ain't for you, then again very little in the Oregon Outback will be. There are a few rusted cars hanging around, but the cabins are clean and well kitted, the spring pools are absolutely pleasant, and the scenery outstanding.
ScoutGreat hot springs included in your stay! Really beautiful here
LegendThis is for the camping portion of the campground, I did not stay or see the inside of the various cabins available. The camping area is just a large open field area where people can park/camp where they would like. This would work well if you had a large group and several RVs wanting to be next to each other. There are also no tables, which camping in your car during the winter not having a table to put my stove on made it a little bit more difficult to heat up water/food. If I remember correctly I didn't really pay anything to camp, mainly just to access the pools. The main pool area was a large pool like area with a barn like covering. This pool was not hot at all and the amount of children splashing and playing did not make it very relaxing. The pools outside were a bit more quite and a bit warmer but filled up fast and only comfortably held maybe 20 people and wasn't scolding hot if you like that sort of hot springs. Also the changing rooms had no glass window panes in them so the large "window" let in all the wind. Which I was there during a high wind storm with freezing temps. This means it was miserable changing into/out of my wet bathing suit. The owners were nice and the view was also pleasant, but I would maybe travel to another hot springs before going back.
RangerBack in July 2019, my buddy and I rode our motorcycles to this camp/hot spring. I had heard of this place from another friend on Facebook & this was our destination. A wonderful ride to this easy-to-find site. Everything from full-service cabins to rent and RVs, down to what we used, tent camping. Beautiful but spartan tent camping area, portable toilets (clean), and cable spools used as tables. The hot springs were WONDERFUL, with both indoor (bathhouse) and outdoor pools. If I recall. clothing optional after 9pm. The operators of this facility are extremely "green" in thinking, with the re-use of most building materials, etc. Their website is excellent and gives more details. Highly recommend!!
