About this campground

D66.72l

The D66 72L Campsite is a primitive, non-reservable, and no fee area located in the Lower Deschutes watershed of Oregon. The campground is situated on a high plateau overlooking the Deschutes River canyon, providing spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.

Nearby points of interest include the Deschutes River Trail, where visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The campground is also a short drive away from the city of Madras, where visitors can find restaurants, grocery stores, and other amenities.

The D66 72L Campsite offers basic amenities such as vault toilets and fire pits, but there is no potable water available on site. Visitors should bring their own water or be prepared to purify water from a nearby stream.

Interesting facts about the area include the presence of several Native American petroglyphs in the vicinity. These petroglyphs are believed to have been created by the ancestors of the Wasco and Warm Springs tribes.

The best time of year to visit the D66 72L Campsite is during the summer months when temperatures range from the mid-70s to low 80s. It is important to note that the area is prone to high winds, so visitors should be prepared for windy conditions.
