Summary

AI generated

Indian Ford Campground offers a great location that is quiet yet close to downtown Sisters, making it easily accessible. Campers appreciate the spacious sites and friendly camp host, as well as the peaceful surroundings among the ponderosa trees. However, some facilities are in need of maintenance, and visitors noted road noise and dust, along with a lack of water on-site.

Very convenient off the highway but a little bit noisy as a result. Sites are large and well spaced. Great easy single track bike trail right from the campground into Sisters was great! Camp host stopped by and was super helpful and friendly. Very dusty in July.

Camp sites Are spacious and well maintained. Bathroom were always clean and stocked. There is A LOT of dust, overturning was covered and there was no escape. We did have an incident with a random car stopping to take pics of our site while we were sleeping, but other than that it was good. Also no potable water! You must bring your own.

Very well kept up campground. Clean, quiet and loved sort of the eeriness that you get being covered by the trees. I loved it! I only used trailer facilities so can't comment on that. Wished I had more nites...

Large open sites in a Ponderosa Pine forest. Small creek on one side for exploring. Great access to biking trails into Sisters. Some road noise, however.

Close to Hwy 20, but the trees and vegetation mostly eliminate the highway noise. Great trails to explore just off the campground, Black Bute loop and a 6 mi trail to Sisters.

Great campground. Small and Quiet. There are 13 spaces, even full it is still very quiet. Right off highway so you can hear the cars but it isn’t too distracting. There is a great trail at the campground that goes into town. Town is only 6 mi away.

  • Prevent the spread of invasive species by inspecting and cleaning packs, equipment and tires before using lake or 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.

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).

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.
