The Best Camping Near Deschutes National Forest, Oregon

This is a truly hidden piece of paradise. Absolutely beautiful alpine lakes, awesome 4x4 trail in through stunning terrain and complete serenity upon arrival. 
There are no amenities here other sites than a stone fire pit (perfect!) and we were lucky enough to happen upon a site with a wooden table some previous camper had built. We originally planned on staying only one night, but this place was so perfect we decided to extend our stay. 
There were a few other people around, but you never really knew they were there as everyone was quiet (always a bonus). 
The lakes were a bit chilly in late August, but that did not deter determined kids! 
I think I fell in love with this place and we will be back for sure! 

A true gem 

The road getting here either direction is for high clearance vehicles only, but once there it is worth the bouncy ride getting there. Beautiful!
