TravelerOne of several along the Deschutes
- a Saturday in August and easily found a spot
- oh this river is gorgeous!
- windy evening! It’s a dust up !
- close to road…more dust up
- you can spend your day at any of these camps or day use spots along this river and be a happy camper…but definitely raft or kayak or tube or something
ScoutGreat site when it is NOT the Salmon-fly Hatch
This is an excellent string of campsites that run right along the beautiful Deschutes River.
It is far enough down the canyon that car traffic is infrequent, but when the Salmon Fly hatch is happening in May the adjacent road is rocking and rolling with anglers driving looking for trout water. The road is washboard dirt, so all the traffic (and typically wind) makes this campsite a bit dusty during the high season. (May-August)
RangerEasy spot on the Deschutes
Campground right off the forest service road on the Deschutes. If you prefer a little more privacy from the road, go a few miles further to Beavertail Campground.
