This small rustic campground is located east of the 2,035-acre Ochoco Divide Research and Natural Area. It is forested with ponderosa pine, western larch, Douglas-fir, and grand fir. It has easy access from Highway 26, and is seldom crowded so it makes for a quiet and peaceful getaway. Firefighters were able to protect this campground from the 2014 Bailey Butte wildfire.
From Prineville, Oregon: Travel east on Highway 26 for approximately 26 miles. Turn right at Mark's Creek Sno-Park and that will put you onto Forest Service Road 2630. Follow FS Road 2630 for approximately 4 miles. At the junction of Forest Service Road 2630 and Forest Service Road 2210, turn left onto Forest Service Road 2210. Continue for approximately 4 miles and Wildwood Campground will be on your right. Keep a sharp eye out because the campground sign is frequently stolen and may not be at the site.
Solo motorcycle trip, wanted a place where I could not hear the highway and not have a lot of people around. It fit the bill. It is dry, pack your own water in with you.
Nice campground off the beaten path. Table, fire ring and vault toilet. Busier than I expected but not like other campgrounds. Four sites spread out far enough to have some breathing room. Peaceful little place in a beautiful forest. No running water be sure to bring plenty. No garbage so pack it in pack it out.
Dark skies, quiet nights. Stayed mid-week in mid-June and had the place completely to myself. Picnic tables and fire rings in excellent repair. Nice wildflower display, and had mule deer wandering through camp in the morning.
Huge Ponderosas, peaceful forest. Easy gravel road in. Clean bathroom. The 3 camp sites all have picnic tables and fire pits(pay attention to fire danger levels before you make use of one) and plenty of room for tents or RV.
Sites are pretty close to one another, unfortunately.
This campground was fine, maybe worth going to if everything else is full, but not exactly thrilling. There’s a pit toilet and no potable water, which is okay if you filter from the small stream nearby or bring water in. The sites are a reasonable distance from each other, but further would be nice, especially considering how isolated the campground is, and the gravel road you take to get there. The road’s also pretty bad in spots, so be careful if you do go.
