Forest Service roads lead to Lee Thomas Campground, an established site within Fremont National Forest that operates from June through October. The campground sits in mixed terrain combining forested areas with open spaces near a river, providing both shaded and sunny camping spots. Sites accommodate various camping styles, from tent setups under tree cover to RV parking in more open areas.
The river proximity offers water access for campers interested in fishing or cooling off during warmer months. Several nearby options include Sandhill Crossing just over two miles west for those preferring different amenities.
Description
Located one hour 30 minutes southwest of Paisley, Oregon, Lee Thomas Campground is located right on the banks of the North Fork of the Wild and Scenic Sprague River. Lodgepole pine trees, rock outcroppings, and riparian meadows characterize the landscape. All seven campsites are close enough to hear the river riffling by.

Just one mile east of the campground is the Lee Thomas Trailhead, which accesses Deadhorse Rim Trail #139.
