Fall River Campground is located along Fall River within the Deschutes National Forest west of La Pine. Recreation Campers can enjoy the nearby Fall River Trail which offers frequent views of crystal clear Fall River. This trail can be accessed from one of three Fall River Trailheads. Visitors can also enjoy fishing on Fall River although it is limited to fly fishing only. Facilities Fall River Campground sites tend to be on the smaller side without any RV hookups or services. Campers will need to provide their own water supply. All sites are equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill and the campground has vault toilets available. Natural Features Fall River's headwaters bubble from the ground approximately 1/4 mile from the campground. The river meanders through the forest before joining the Deschutes River. Legal-sized brook and rainbow trout are stocked several times a year. Nearby Attractions Fall River Trail leaves from this campground and follows the river. ADA Access: N
From Bend, OR: Travel 17.3 miles south on Hwy 97, then 12.2 miles southwest on County Road 42.
One of my few favorites anymore.
Small, quite, draws a pretty respectful crowd. People keep it clean (though this time around someone didnt pick up after their very large dog and it pooed in the toilet and drive and camp and swimming area). Ranger is friendly. Camp is small (maybe 14 spots). They have first come camp sites and some reserved (reserved is annoying to me when this used to be just first come first getting the spot).
Not really camper friendly wich is nice. Tent camping is pretty much all we ever see here :-).
Came here to fish on the Fall River and it definitely didn’t disappoint!
Beautiful views, abundant wildlife and easy access.
Fall River was beautiful! We stayed in site 4, and it was about 40 meters from the river, which was nice. We saw multiple fish in the river and enjoyed the trail along the banks. Campsites are nice sized and with decent privacy from neighbors, along with ample shade. There were surprisingly no mosquitoes, and that was very appreciated. It was one of the dustiest campgrounds we've ever stayed in. The dust was a little overwhelming. No water, so come prepared! Pit toilets are fine and well maintained. Directions from Bend are easy and you are able to stay on a well paved road for the entire route.
Water is so pretty here! Couldn’t find the waterfall but still worth the walk. The water here is perfectly clear, and the flowers are amazing. Lots of fisher spots, but we just enjoyed the bridge and walking along the river.
