This free Forest Service camp provides two sites alongside a stream in the Malheur National Forest. The vault toilet and picnic tables offer basic amenities, while the flowing water creates ambient sound that some campers appreciate. However, the stream proximity brings heavy mosquito activity during warmer months, and visitors should watch for ticks in the area.
Road access appears straightforward, though cell service from AT&T is unavailable at the sites. The camp stays relatively quiet given its remote location, and wildlife sightings like garter snakes near the water add to the forest experience. Campers sensitive to insects may want to consider [campsites near Mount Vernon] with different conditions, as the bug pressure here can be significant enough to cut trips short.
