Palisades Campground
Reviewed May. 29, 2022

Quiet and scenic

Like the other campgrounds along this section of the Crooked River, almost all the campsites face the river.  They have good spacing and require very little leveling.  Many are pull through, a few back in.  I camped before Memorial Day, so it was very quiet.  The road is very near all the campsites, but we counted maybe one car an hour.

The pit toilet was very clean and serviced daily.  We had Verizon and had rare to no cell service.  The only potable water is at the most southern campground, Big Bend campground, the first below the dam.  During our visit, only the hand pump had water.  You cannot use this to fill your RV, unless you have a bucket and like pumping for an hour.  There were two freeze proof faucets in the other section of the campground where the host has a parking place, but they were not turned on.  Best bet for dumping and getting fresh water is the Crook County RV park, just 15 minutes north on the road in Prineville.  Very nice setup, dump $10, fresh water fill $5 (or free with dump)
