    Lower Canyon Creek Campground

    The Absolute Best

    This is one of my favorite places anywhere; I grew up camping here and my dad grew up camping here as well. Camp Sherman has a cute little store nearby where you can get ice cream or snacks. The charming town of Sisters is nearby if you want to explore or go out to eat.

    Canyon Creek is basically two campgrounds in one: there are sites along the creek and then there are sites clustered at the river. The creek sites are spaced out along the road as you come in; you will see little “driveways” along the creek as you come in. They can be tricky to access and I wouldn’t recommend taking an rv or low-clearance vehicle into some of them without careful scouting and an honest appraisal of your ability to get in and out. Most of them are fine but it’s definitely not the place for a 40’ trailer.

    Creek sites have more privacy and seem to stay a little cooler. Some of them have downed logs or rocks that you can use to cross the creek and explore the forest beyond. The creek is painfully cold but if you really wanted to, you could cool off in it (I would recommend making a day trip to Suttle Lake or Scout Lake though if you really want to swim).

    The other set of campsites are clustered around the river. They are pretty close together and can get pretty dusty during the summer months. The river is beautiful though and excellent for fly fishing.

    One thing to keep in mind is that the river has incredibly strong currents and some serious rapids. If you have small children, it could be legitimately dangerous if they fall in regardless of whether they can swim. My family has been camping here for generations and at least one child in each generation has fallen in while fishing and had to be rescued by some very quick-thinking adults. I could see it being a little stressful to camp in one of the riverside sites if you have active kids with you.

    Sisters, Oregon - Dispersed Camping

    Eagle Rock Rd

    This was a great little spot. Close to town, no 4x4 required to find spots, plenty of sun for charging w/solar but plenty of shade too. Turn down Eagle Rock Rd off of SR606 for more spots. Stayed for 2 nights and felt safe. Some bees and flies but no other bugs.

    Prairie Campground

    A nice campground

    Spacious campsites with good picnic tables and fire pits. No stunning views from the campground but still a pretty area. Mostly quiet at night, though did hear a bit of road noise… but it’s not a super busy road. The thing I liked most about this campground was the fact that there were not many people here.

    Badlands Rock Camping

    It will do in a pinch

    It’s a highway gravel area with plenty of places to pull up and park for any size rig. There are a few others here as well. Super quiet, little road noise but not somewhere for us to stay over one night.

    Creekside Sisters City Park

    Very nice spot

    Helpful camp hosts for this campground. Walking distance to town, quiet and restful. A little road noise but very tolerable. Level gravel sites. Good WiFi service.

    BEND FS 4610 Dispersed

    Forested and private pull offs

    Dirt road through the forest. Pretty flat but sites were spaced out far enough that you couldn’t really see neighbors. Decent cell service, no complaints!

    FR4610 Dispersed

    Long FR dispersed camping

    This spot was a bit busy but pretty spread out so you didn’t hear your fellow campers. You only hear the ones driving in and out along the red dirt road. Plenty of spots to chose from and fun bike trails to follow. Felt safe in this spot and would come back in I was in the area. Starling works great here. Our rig and trailer is 40 feet and we got her in and out with no problems. The dirt road is one straight shot from one hwy to another.

    Crane Prairie Campground

    Nice campground with bad pit toilets

    Family-friendly campground on a reservoir with boat and fishing access. It is pretty, but can be really loud with lots of kids and people. Sites are a decent size. Pit toilets are extremely stinky in fall (when we're usually passing through), bad even for pit toilets. Despite the downsides, we have stayed here for 2-3 days in fall for many years.

    Painted Hills South Camp

    Good Backup Spot

    This site is on the far end of the painted hills park, just outside of the gate.  There is a sign that says "no turn around" but the exact spot of that is way down the road and you can turn around in this camping area. 
    There were a few bad ruts from people traversing in the mud but still a couple of level areas. 
    This is our backup spot if we strike out at Priest Hole, but haven't yet.
