OHV enthusiasts and equestrian riders will find multiple trail systems accessible from NF970 - Brasseur's Butte, a free dispersed camping area in the Deschutes National Forest. The access road off NF-1270 narrows considerably, with one reviewer noting potential for vehicle pin striping. Sites lack tree coverage and shade, making this location less suitable during high heat periods.
Gordon A. reports "Outstanding sunsets and great view of Mt.Jefferson" from the exposed ridgetop position. The area stays quiet with minimal foot traffic, though campers should expect dusty conditions and bee activity. Pioneer Ford Campground sits less than a mile east for those preferring developed facilities. Additional unmarked spots with tree coverage appear along NF-1270 within a short drive south of the main area.
