About Campground

With views of nearby Chimney Rock, this campground offers year-round camping and Crooked River access along the Lower Crooked Back Country Byway. Campground facilities include seven campsites with excellent access to the Crooked Wild and Scenic River. Know Before You Go: * Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are accepted. * Potable water is available year-round at the nearby Chimney Rock Campground, 1.3 miles north on State Highway 27. * Cell phone service is not available in the campground. * Watch for bicyclists: the section of State Highway 27 between Prineville and Bowman Dam is designated as the Crooked River Canyon Scenic Bikeway. Point of Interest: The campground takes its name from nearby rock outcrops composed of basaltic lava. As these formations cooled, a multi-sided joint pattern formed which seemingly resulted in the appearance of a pile of posts stacked vertically. The geologic phenomena is known as columnar basalt.

Directions

_From Prineville, Oregon_ : Drive 18 miles south on State Highway 27; the campground will be on your right.

Fees

$8 per night; $2 per extra vehicle (tow vehicles excluded) with a maximum of two vehicles allowed per site.

One of the more beautiful campgrounds along crooked River. Large camp spots. Less neighbors. Fishing is always good.

Beautiful, clean, quiet& peaceful. Many campgrounds along this windy valley road. We're in a 33 foot motorhome and no problems manuevering or finding an empty site. There are restrooms however bring anything you need, this area is completely unattended during the shutdown, cell service and network availability is extremely spotty. For camp fire though youre in the woods, county does patrol occasionaly and even picking up wood thats down is prohibited. Fly fishing maybe get you something other than snags and lost lures but as i dont fly fish, thats all ive received. Roads are NOT MAINTAINED at this time and are extremely dangerous when freezing, also watch for rocks that slide onto road abd occasional deer. The campsites are all close to the road as it runs parallel with the river. This site is 18 miles from Prineville, and thats the closest store of any kind. Due to the corners its a good half hour or better drive in the current conditions, and my right foot is lead if thats any indication.

Went fishing here, didn’t catch anything but it was still nice.

I never went in the bathroom, but according to a friend who was there with me, there were cicada wings on the ground. (I just thought that was interesting
