Riverside Campground (deschutes National Forest, Or)

This campground is only suitable for walk in tent camping since we cannot accommodate RVs or trailers.

This is a no water facility so campers will need to bring their own supply.

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

Please Note: One RV vehicle per 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 check out time (NOON) 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).
