I love central Oregon, and I love the campsite. It has very open campsites that are far apart enough for privacy but close enough to be comfortable (if you’re like me and don’t like to be too “out there”) but the bathrooms were horrendous. I don’t know if this is the usual but there were THOUSANDS of flies buzzing everywhere and coming in through who knows where. I’ve been camping all my life and am no stranger to flies in the vault toilet, but this was he worst I’ve ever seen. I had to drive all the way to a store and buy this special fly killer to clean out the bathroom. It took me hours to clear them all out (only for them to come back within a day). The site is beautiful but the bathrooms are just awful to the point where I’d just dig a hole. If it weren’t for the awful restrooms I’d give this an easy 5 stars

Busy tiny campground about seven sites. Self check in with honor box system. Trash cans, pit toilet and fire ring set each site.

A simple campground with several places to park and set up tents with a single outhouse along the crooked river with excellent views of the canyon and close to a hiking trail with a good view at the top.
