Beautiful place

Large level pull thru site with picnic table and fire ring. Very quiet even though highway US 20 is only 200 yards away. $17.00 and worth it.

No-frills, cheap campground near Sisters, Oregon

Indian ford campsite is a quaint, no frills, vault toilet campground six miles west of sisters, nestled amongst Ponderosa pines and right next to trails to the Metolius River and Black Butte.

Sites are large with fire pits and picnic tables. The drawback is that it’s very close to Highway 20, so you hear road traffic frequently.

Bring your own water. Super cheap, only $12, with $2 extra on holidays. Also, only open seasonally. In the Deschutes National Forest.

Great Location, Horrible Location

I have a love/hate relationship with this campground. On the positive side, it's very close to the cute little town of Sisters, Oregon. It's a good size (not too big, not too small). Decent sized sites. Nice trees. And it's a great deal price-wise.

On the other hand, there's pretty much nothing to do at this campground, and it's within Frisbee distance of the major highway that runs through here. So while not right on the highway, it's close enough to hear noise most of the night.

Overall, unless you need a place right next to Sisters or want to use this as a base camp to save money and head elsewhere, you're better off at other spots nearby.
