Absolutely loved this place. Very serene and peaceful. Not to many other campers maybe 3, july. Will come back to fish this spot. Pretty secluded.

A great little campground located on the Crooked River outside Prineville, OR. Amenities include pit toilets, a dock, fire rings, picnic tables and a trail leading up Chimney Rock.

Lovely and quiet campground along the Crooked River about 30 minutes from Prineville. Incredible views of stars on clear nights. Vault toilets were clean and well stocked. Water pump was old fashioned and took some arm work to get going, but great to have access to water!

The campground is right across the street from the Chimney Rock trailhead, so you can leave your car at your campsite if you want.

Affordably priced, although not all camp lots are the same size. I recommend getting there early and setting up on lots 1, 2, 5, or 6.

We stopped by for the Chimney Rock hike. The campground is on the river and the hiking trail is on across the road. There is a spot to park by the trail. The parking is large you can park with a large RV or with a trailer.
