Breathtaking Night Sky

Lovely little tent only( i guess you could get a camper up here).

This place was closed for the longest time and i think people forgot it was there when it re-opened.

Every time i have went its just me or one other camper.

Love it, but its bear country so be careful with your food.

The night sky up here is simply breathtaking..wonderful,

RVs not recommended

Located within 3.5 miles from the Oregon Caves National Monument, this campground is the closest you will get to the Caves. There is a hiking 2.5 mile trail that takes you to them from the campground. Sites right a long the river.

Despite its close location to the Caves, it is extremely hard to take any type of RV there. The road is paved, but Extremely Narrow with limited visibility. So this one is really for tent campers only. Campsites are pretty spacious for multiple tents. All sites are primitive, but there are several water stations near the campsites. Vault toilets in this one.

A good place for tent campers looking to stay near the caves, but no RVs.
