About Campground

Unlike most of the other campgrounds along the Crooked River, this 14.5-acre campground is set back some from the Lower Crooked Back Country Byway, providing some isolation. Campground facilities include fourteen mostly broad, spacious campsites, vault toilets and an accessible fishing pier. All but one of the campsites are at river level and accessed by a single-lane road. 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 upriver Chimney Rock Campground, 0.8 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 site takes its name from nearby rock outcrops composed of basaltic lava which form the steep, formidable cliff faces across the river from the campground.

Directions

From Prineville, Oregon: Drive 15.3 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.

Great place to camp. Clean and well cared for. Spaces are interspersed nicely so you're not on top of your neighbors.

Great campground o n the Crooked River but far too many people from out of state that shouldn't be there now with Covid 19. If you're not local please stay in your own state and help protect our own people ber.

A quiet little spot not too far away from home to get away.

We stayed Thursday-Sunday. The spots are far enough apart that it didn't feel crowded.

We had access to the water for kayaking and mud bugging. The water wasn't too swift which was nice for swimming too.

US Cellular had no service but an occasional message would go in or out if you were walking around.

Bathroom was decent when we got there but not so pleasant or clean when we left.
