Nice winter option

We camped here in January of 2021, and there were several campsites available, though this was on of the few campsites in the area that was open. The campground had two pit toilets available, and the one nearest our campsite seemed clean, the other one had a stronger odor, and we did not try using that one. 

Many of the campsites are near the creek, and there were several pull-through site available for trailers and RVs.

The area is pretty and there are a couple of trails that leave from the campground. There is a lot of hiking in the general area, especially if you like waterfalls. While we stayed at the campsite, we took the opportunity to ski around diamond lake, which was a lot of fun, though more popular with snow-mobilers.

Fine campground

We've camped here twice, and it's a fine campground. There are several campsite areas, and we've only stayed in the "T" loop, at the back of the campground. We did here the trains at night, but it never bothered us and we didn't hear any road noise despite the proximity to the interstate.

Facilities near the T loop consist of pit toilets, but we walked to the nicer bathrooms on the A loop when they were open. Most A loop campers were in RVs, and the bathrooms weren't crowded. The bathrooms were clean as were the shower stalls.

A loops has more trees, so I would suggest staying there when possible as it gets hot in the summer.

The Deschutes River Trail leaves from the campground, and it's a nice 16-mile-long bike ride, though it can get a bit rough. This area can get very windy.
