Our favorite site of the trip, quiet and directly on the Deschutes River.

Visited in Late May. This was the worst Rec.gov campsite we’ve been to. SO many bugs (I know that’s not really controllable), but the outhouse bathroom was locked shut.
No picnic table or fire pit, nothing to see.
It was just a place to sleep for the night.

It’s a very nice little campground. A little noise from traffic but great for a few nights. Staff keeps camp clean.
