Looney Spring Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Looney Spring Campground sits within Malheur National Forest outside Unity, Oregon, drawing mostly local campers who know the area well. It operates as a primitive site, so expect limited amenities. A bulletin board at the entrance maps out three nearby trails: the 1.6-mile Reynolds Creek Trail, the 5-mile Sunshine Trail with roughly 2,000 feet of elevation gain, and the 10.2-mile Little Baldy Trail, which runs long enough to suit backpackers planning an overnight. Campers looking for tent sites near Malheur National Forest will find this spot works best for those comfortable with rustic conditions and self-sufficient travel.

A local favorite

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this campground because there was hardly any information available online, but it was a generally good experience. Almost everyone else there was local to the region and it was a lucky thing for me, because they were quite friendly and generous with their knowledge.

This is a “primitive campground” but the natural surroundings are more than worth the sacrifice of a few creature comforts.

Try the following hikes if you find yourself here:

1.6 mile Reynolds Creek Trail, just a bit of an elevation gain, good to stretch the legs. 5 mile Sunshine Trail, good for a day trip, but the elevation is around 2,000 feet so get ready for some inclines. 10.2 mile Little Baldy Trail, this came highly recommended to me but I didn’t have time to give it the time it needs (1.5 days). It’s about 10.2 miles and more suited to backpackers.

All of these are outlined well on the bulletin board when you come in.
