SUMMARY

The Br5 User Created Campsite is located in the Donner Und Blitzen watershed in Oregon. It is a primitive campsite that is non-reservable and free of charge. The area is surrounded by stunning views of the Steens Mountain Range and the Donner Und Blitzen River.

Nearby points of interest include the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which is home to over 320 species of birds and other wildlife. The nearby Diamond Craters are a unique volcanic formation that has been designated a National Natural Landmark.

The campground amenities are primitive and include a fire ring, picnic table, and an outhouse. There is no potable water available, so visitors must bring their own or filter water from the river.

Interesting facts about the area include that it is home to one of the largest herds of wild horses in the United States. The Donner Und Blitzen River also offers excellent fishing opportunities for rainbow trout.

The best time of year to visit is in the summer months when temperatures are mild, averaging around 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 50 degrees Fahrenheit at night. However, visitors should be aware that thunderstorms can occur during the summer months, so it is important to be prepared for inclement weather.
