    Deschutes NF - HWY 31

    Right beside the hwy

    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.

    Silver Creek Marsh

    Quiet and peaceful

    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.

    Silver Creek Marsh

    Great sites, bumpy road

    Came in on 4th of July and lots of sites were available. Sites are level, well shaded and several are long and can handle big trailers. Some sites have less shade if you need StarLink access. Pit toilets are clean and have plenty of TP.

    The paved road in is not maintained well and has huge cracks every 20 feet, some that could take out a wheel. But the slow bumpy trip was worth it.

    Silver Creek Marsh

    Quiet, clean Forest Service campground near Thompson Reservoir

    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.
