Off a gravel forest road within Deschutes National Forest, Pumice Butte Road provides dispersed camping for self-sufficient campers. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in area, which requires visitors to bring their own water and pack out all waste. Sites spread along the roadway without formal boundaries or designated spots.
Campers select their own setup locations based on terrain and vehicle access. The forest setting offers natural spacing between groups. Newberry Crater Road Dispersed — Deschutes NF sits 1.5 miles north for additional dispersed options. Check current forest conditions before arrival, as seasonal road closures may affect access.
