Summary
Reservations aren’t required; sites are first-come, first-served, and no permits or fees are currently needed. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and horse corrals—though no water or hookups are available, and RVs must be self-contained. The camp sits in a serene pine forest near the North Fork John Day Wilderness, with direct access to scenic trails like the Elkhorn Crest Trail. Best visited June–September, it’s a peaceful, rustic basecamp for hikers, horseback riders, and nature lovers seeking solitude and sweeping mountain views.

Camping Essential Practices
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.
