RangerCamped here in June 2020 and got the single prime spot across the little pond with its own pit toilet. Snowed when we were there in June. No hookups but there’s water around the campsites and picnic tables and fire pits. Excellent little campground with maybe a dozen or so sites. Clean & well maintained. Beautiful Warner Mountains all around.
If you keep going up the forest road there are dispersed camping spots at higher elevation with great views but roads only suitable for small rigs. There’s both a BLM and USFS office in nearby Cedarville for info plus hot springs in Surprise Valley and lots of good rockhounding in nearby Warner mountains on the west side towards Lakeview. Would camp here again.
TravelerIt’s a nice spot for a night but plan to stay inside the entire time. When I pulled up people were leaving and told me it’s infested with mosquitoes to the point they’d rather go into town and get a hotel for the night. If you dare to go outside you’ll be eaten alive spray or not I tried. I’m from a rural farm town in Alabama. We get a good amount of mosquitoes down south but this is out of this world. Oregon should look into spraying the area truly.
I’d also like to add I’m towing a 30 foot TT and my roof was touching The tree branches on the way in. I would not recommend a 5th wheel or anything longer. It’s tight.
Edit: after I got to my next spot I noticed tears on my rubber roof. Highly recommend no 5th wheels and tts be extra careful if you decide to try and boondock here.
TravelerWe had the place to ourselves till our friends showed up for the weekend.
RangerCamped here in Oct 2020. This is a USFS campground in the Fremont Winema NF. No hookups but large private sites with fire rings and ginormous picnic tables plus vault toilets. There’s water but only in season. Close to Hart Mtn Antelope Refuge. Would camp here again.
RangerThis campground is small and only has around 10 sites. Typically either pine needle floor or 3 ft tall grass. Not maintained well. Picknick benches, fire rings, pot bathroom and manual water pump for water. During August there was no creeknor lake here. Other times of the year it looks to floor.
Easy to find. Road is well maintained. Paved roadway.
ScoutThis campground has a vault toilet, a water pump, and a brown water dump site. It has 7 back in camping spots, and there is fishing nearby. I would suggest smaller trailers and Rvs or tent camping. If you need phone or internet service this site is not for you.
RangerCows… you will see many open range cows while you drive down a long gravel road and again when you reach your destination at Mud Creek. The creek is somewhat seasonal, but you can find a small stream on the road across from the campsite. Not enough water to go fishing or swimming. There is no cell service out there, but many hiking trails and peace and quiet if that is what you are searching for. There is a trailhead a mile up the road with parking. There are vault toilets and space for both tent and RV camping. Be on the look out for rattlesnakes, ticks, and cows out here.
GuideNot far from Cederville on 299 towards Alturas you can find a DNR campground at Stough Reservoir. The road is 2+ miles of dirt - gravel to the CG.
The campground is sparse and lacks flushing toilets, pit toilet is available. Check the area sign for fire restrictions or warnings of large animals in the area. Keep your food locked up or hanging in a tree.
RangerI swung thru this camp on a previous ride, and remembered it fondly. (dunno why I didn't review it then).
Up a decent gravel road, only about a mile in. A beautiful, small reservoir with about 10 sites. I got the primo site across the water, solo spot with my own pit toilet. No cell service solitude with the high-passing jets as my only company. Still a few patches of snow on the ground (5/2) and 26 degree morning.
