Description

National Forest

Ochoco National Forest and Crooked River National Grassland

Located among large ponderosa pine trees and across the Crooked River from some beautiful Western larch trees, the setting of this campground is serene. Although it's a long drive, access is easy and paved the entire way from the west and most of the way from the east. There are no official hiking trails in the immediate vicinity of the campground, but people can choose to hike the nearby spur roads to experience some additional scenery. Fishing in the river can be good depending on when you choose to visit. Expect this campground to fill up during hunting season and holidays

By the creek

Nice big campground 15 spaces and nice space between sites. Deep Creek was running high with winter snowmelt runoff.

Spent time sitting by the creek reading and relaxing.

Clean campground no campers mid week mid May Pit toilets and lots of firewood left at campsites by others.

The mosquitos were fierce after the sun started to set. 

I expect this campground is busy on the weekends and holidays as it's close 25 miles to Prineville.

Good for Rv's and tent campers.
