Few spots, great stop

In the lower deschutes area, maupin is a busy spot. Oasis is straightforward, no frills, and just a few spots. They have electronic fee machine which was convenient.

Great spot on the Deshutes

We had a great day camping and enjoying the river. A few spots to hike. Several other camping opportunities on the Deshutes byway as well. I would return. Plenty of opportunities for fly fishing in the area as well. Lots of falls nearby.

For rafters, super convenient

Has the basics. Deschutes river access, pit toilets, picnic tables, dumpster. Works for a group. Tents ok. Small trailers and RV’s will fit. Has two entrances - handy for trailers and RV’s - you can pull through the campground. About 1 mile from town of Maupin. Desert environment. No water available except river water. It was over 100 degrees when we were there - bring shade canopy or tent!!!

Small and Simple, Right on the Deschutes River

This is a really low key, REALLY basic campground along the Deschutes River.

No reservations, self pay, no host, though a ranger did drive through daily.

Fee is $8 for weekdays, $12 for weekends, and there's a group site for $25 for weeknights and $35 for weekends. Trash dumpsters (no recycling) and smelly vault toilets on site.

Good cell reception for ATT and Verizon.

Lots of traffic coming through with tours and busses for rafters. The train goes right along the river on the other side, which was neat for us but some people might not like the noise.

Half the sites are right along the river. Each spot is different, but they're all kind of scattered about and none are fancy or completely private.

Nice basic quiet campground at a good price. Close to the town of Maupin.
