Starvation Springs NF 46 Site

1 ReviewAdd Review

Biking, equestrian, and OHV trails give campers at Starvation Springs NF 46 Site a range of ways to use the surrounding Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. Access follows a paved road before transitioning to roughly 0.3 to 0.4 miles of bumpy gravel and rock. Sites are large and open, each with a rock fire ring. Free. RVs up to 45 feet are accommodated, and one reviewer reported strong Starlink speeds. Burn bans and prescribed burns are common in the area, so check conditions before arrival. Those exploring camping spots around Lostine will find this a practical base, particularly for RV travelers who want free dispersed camping without a long washboarded approach road.

Nice spot not too far off the road! Easy access

Not far up a nicely paved road, and then onto maybe 0.3-0.4 mile bumpy gravel/rock FS road. Plenty of large open sites with rock fire rings. Be aware of burn bans and/or prescribed burns in the area. This is a great spot for me and my 20 foot RV, with fantastic starlink speeds. Mid 80’s during the day in late July. Love this spot! It’s also great that it isn’t 5 miles down some super washboarded gravel road. Nice drive to it.
