The D20 70R Campsite is a primitive, non-reservable, and free campground located in the Lower Deschutes watershed of Oregon. The campground offers a beautiful natural setting with stunning views of the nearby mountains and the Deschutes River. The area is known for its abundant wildlife, including bald eagles, osprey, and river otters.
The campground amenities include picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets. There is no potable water available, so visitors must bring their own or treat the water from the river. The campground is open year-round, but the best time to visit is from May to October when the weather is warmer.
Nearby points of interest include the Deschutes River State Recreation Area, which offers hiking and fishing opportunities, and the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, which contains a wealth of fossils and ancient rock formations. The town of Maupin, located just a few miles away, is a popular destination for river rafting and kayaking.
Interesting facts about the area include the fact that the Lower Deschutes watershed is home to one of the largest populations of wild steelhead in the country. The area is also rich in Native American history and culture, with many archaeological sites and petroglyphs scattered throughout the region.
The average temperature during the summer months (May-September) is in the mid-80s during the day and in the low 50s at night. It's important to note that temperatures can drop significantly in the evenings, so visitors should bring warm clothing and appropriate gear.
