Summary

There’s no fee to camp. Amenities are minimal: pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings are available, but there’s no drinking water or hookups. RVs under 18 feet can fit, though the access road is narrow and rough. Set in a dense, shaded forest near the North Fork John Day Wilderness, the campground offers peaceful scenery and access to hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Best visited late spring to early fall, it’s ideal for those seeking solitude and a back-to-nature vibe.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
