    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.

    NF970 - Brassuer's Butte

    Great views, tight access.

    Outstanding sunsets and great view of Mt.Jefferson. No shade, so not a great high heat spot. Very quiet. Cons: bees and dusty dirt.

    Tumalo State Park Campground

    Meaningful birthday trip

    My boyfriend, our dog and i stayed for 3 night for his 30th birthday, we didnt have much money to go very far or to do anything extravagant like we wanted to, so we decided to stay here as a little stay-cation and just enjoy eachothers company and spend some much needed quality time. It was a fabulous trip and the location was absolutely perfect. Couldnt have wished for anything better honestly.

    Big River Campground

    Small, Quiet River Camping

    It’s small, only a few campsites, but everything you need. Sites were a good size but closer together. Right on the river with launching for boat or paddling. Some road noise but it’s minimal.
