Pilot Butte Reservoir Spillway Campground

Off Highway 26 near Pilot Butte Reservoir, this small campground operates under Bureau of Land Reclamation management with basic facilities for overnight stays. The site features a vault toilet, covered picnic table, and metal fire ring, plus a small dumpster at the entrance and ADA-accessible paved parking spots.

Space remains limited, with room for perhaps five vehicle campers when full but working better with just two units. Large RVs won't fit comfortably given the compact layout. Highway noise carries across the fence line throughout the day and night. The ten-day camping limit provides flexibility for extended stays, though the fire ring often contains leftover debris from previous visitors. For more developed facilities, Ocean Lake sits six miles east with additional amenities.

On the water.

This campground caught my eye when I was on the way to another Dyrt listing. It wasn'tlisted, so I'madding it now. The campground is very small, and I assume mostly used by locals. The sing says it is ran by the Bureau of Land Reclamation, U.S. Department of Interior.
There is a vault toilet, a covered picnic, and a metal fire ring. There's also a small dumpster as you drive in. There's a paved ADA parking spot next to the toilet, and another near the picnic table.
If pushed you could probably fit 5 car/truck campers, but better with no more than 2. Not much room for anything but a small trailer. The fire ring is full of trash and old residue. The highway is just across fence, so its 5 bit noisy.
Not the best site, but a place to spend the night. The sign says camping up to 10 days.
