What Guests Are Saying

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 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...

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 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.

Reserved 2 nights and pd the reservation fee which makes this campground not a good value. Did it anyway because I like to be sure that a spot will be waiting if I get in late. Sadly, the host did not post the reservation and someone else was in my spot when I arrived. Host resides at a different campground and there is no phone number to call. Really want my reservation fee back. Feel scammed.

The bathroom was cleaned every day by a wonderful employee that also gave us information on trails.

Easy to book. Nice sized sites. My only issue was that the online booking site allowed adding additional people but not vehicles.

Stayed here in early June for the Oregon Gravel Series "Cascade Gravel Grinder" bike race. The location is a doubled edged sword in the way that it is super conveniently located right off hwy 20 but you can hear the cars. They did not keep me up at night and the noise wasn't terrible. My favorite part of this campground was a really cool hiking and biking trail system just across the entrance to the park. The trail system has outstanding views and is easy enough for the whole family to do but fun enough for the more serious cyclist to enjoy. I would stay here again, especially if I was there to enjoy the mountain biking and Sisters area.

Worse campground ever! Dirty, dusty, and lots of in and out traffic and noise from the highway.

This was our second time coming here. It's beautiful. Really the only downsides are the highway noise and we were there for over a week and the vault toilet was never cleaned.

2 things make Indian Ford a great spot. The proximity to downtown Sisters, and the Upper Loop MTB trail that starts at the campground. The camp host came over to say hi and chat a bit which I appreciated. This site is right off the HWY so you do see cars and hear them a little.
