Indian ford campground

Right by the highway, a not an issue for myself. Yellow Jackets and flies everywhere. The spaces were not so far apart as some people would state. It's close to Sisters, so you can get anything you may need, including water as there's none on site. There were plenty of trees, but they did not equate to any shade at my site nor the several to my sides. The burn ban in the Deschutes was lifted prior to our arrival, we'd picked this site because we should have been able to have a fire, though they had posted on site for no fires. Other campgrounds at the time had listed burn bans on their reservation platforms, this one did not. One awesome thing about this site, I had great cell service, which was perfect, as it allowed us to just go to a different camp site to have a nice weekend. Others must have felt the same, as in the hour we spent on our phones looking for another campground, two people approached asking if we needed a site, because they decided they were just going to leave instead of stay the night there as well. They also would not refund, though their rules listed we were due a partial refund, but they don't have any reasonable way to reach them to resolve issues either. If you look closely in the pictures I took, you can even see a car in the background on the highway. Blurriness due to yellow jackets.

NFS campgrounds are simple. No utilities but, the settings are usually pretty and in the woods. Nice and quiet here. Close to Sisters.

The campground was fine --- easy access off the main road, and the campsites aren't right on top of each other. We were surprised that there isn't water here though -- we probably would have chosen nearby Cold Springs campground if we'd realized that. (Which is also quieter, being a bit more protected from the road.)

I stay here quite frequently on my cross state business trips. The atmosphere is fantastic, and getting a great central Oregon camping experience while having to drive from the coast to Boise is great for clearing my mind.

This camp has little to recommend except that it is available. The pit toilet is reasonably clean. There are lots of trails from here mostly frequented by bicycles. You need to go about a mile down a trail to get away from traffic noise. That's pretty much the only noise there is. The people here have been very quiet.
