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.
