This small, rustic site is right on the side of the historic McKenzie Pass Highway. Surrounded by towering Douglas fir trees, this is a perfect spot to be on a warm day. Access to Linton Lake Trailhead in the Three Sisters Wilderness is immediately across the highway from the campground.
From McKenzie Bridge, OR, travel east on Highway 126 for 3 miles to Highway 242.
Follow Highway 242 east for 9 miles to Alder Springs Campground.
Very nice and quiet campground. Everyone is respectful of their own space, and the grounds remain tidy with everyone packing out, and I’m assuming some maintenance.
Conveniently located and FREE. Rarely available because first come first served only and its so remote a lot of campers stay the 14 day Max. Great place to find solitude and experience yourself alone in woods ( if this place scares you at night please don't consider dispersed camping further out in 3 sisters wilderness area! Soon amazing and calls for one to explore deeper but it's unforgiving rugged wilderness and easy to accidently get lost
It was beautifully maintained! Tom and Mary were wonderful hosts. The view is incredible. I highly recommend you check this place out (be sure to pack out your trash and be respectful of the area!) The hot springs has a direct road to the playa. Super fun to drive on and enjoy the stars.
