Very nice campground in the Ponderosa Pines 4.5 mi from Sisters, Oregon. The campsites were good size and very well maintained. The campground host was friendly and very helpful. Nice hiking and biking trails are near the campground. There is water available, one hand pump in the campground. We will be back.

We love this place and have been going there for 30 years, too many people know about it now so you have to plan ahead.

Nice off grid campground that is only 4-5 mi from the town of Sisters. Campsites are spaced apart. Wonderful 6 mi round trip hike around Matolius River.

Great camping trip and a great campground. Host was friendly and very busy; camp was clean and since it was in the 90s the shade was a welcome part of our camping experience. We will for sure camp here again.

Started out in site 20 but moved to 17. Site 20 was in close proximity to the latrine and smelled badly. 17 was incredible. We enjoyed our stay. Downsides: latrines were very low to the ground and smelled horrible; picnic tables were also low to the ground and in poor shape.

General

  • Prevent the spread of invasive species by inspecting and cleaning packs, equipment and tires before using trails.
  • Please Note: One RV with tow vehicle per single site or one vehicle per tent site. Most sites can accommodate 1 extra vehicle that is not included with the reservation fee. Extra vehicle will be charged a per night fee and collected at the campground. 
  • Fire Restrictions: Fire restrictions may be imposed at any time due to hot, dry weather conditions, at which time campfires and charcoal fires may not be allowed. 
  • During your time in Central Oregon, you can find wildfire, prescribed fire and smoke information at centraloregonfire.org 
  • Reserved Sites will be held until the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of that following day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released to other guests. Once your reservation start date has begun, neither the Recreation.gov Contact Center nor the campground manager will be able to modify your reservation.
  • Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
  • Don't Move Firewood: Please protect Pacific Northwest forests by preventing the spread of invasive species. Firewood can carry insects and diseases that can threaten the health of our western forests. You can make a difference by obtaining and burning your firewood near your camping destination. Visit Dontmovefirewood.org for further information.
