Campsite: Pickett Butte Lookout

What a beautiful and peaceful location. Easy to get to (our AWD Volvo had no trouble at all), cozy, with outstanding views. The lookout itself has a pulley system to bring up gear, a propane heater, stove, small fridge, a full-sized bed platform & mattress, and a few cooking odds and ends left by visitors. Near the base is a fire pit, two picnic tables, and an outhouse.

A few things to consider:

1) The nights get very cold here (and the lookout provides little insulation thanks to the panoramic windows), so do be prepared for that.

2) The nearest town with a "real" grocery store is Canyonville (we saw signs for a market near the turn-off for the lookout, but did not check it out).

3) Cell reception in the lookout was good for us (using Google Fi).

4) You need to drive through actively logged areas to get to the lookout (but these roads are in VERY good condition, even mid-winter).

All in all, highly recommended!
