From the town of John Day, OR., follow US Highway 26 west approximately 18 miles to the junction with Forest Service Road 21 (Fields Creek Road). Follow Forest Service Road 21 approximately 6 miles, Billy Fields Campground will be on the right.
Road is well-paved, easy to get to. Beautiful farmland gives way to tall pines. Quiet and isolated. Right on the creek. Free camping! I will definitely stop here again.
No utilities, but a clean camp ground with decent space for tents. Rangers stop by frequently and give help when needed.
It was a so so campground just off the paved road. Cow's offer some entertainment as does the creek's cool waters and the small fish. The views are spectacular of nearby mountains of ragged, rough, and rugged, really, they're pretty awesome. Beware of snake's and maybe mountain puddy's. :)
A wonderful spot. Too bad we were just traveling thru. This is a spot I'm likely to come back to. Only 2 campsite by the restroom but another one just down the next driveway. So nice and quiet. Pretty little creek along the campground edge so you heard running water all night. Wouldn't mind a week or better here.
