About Lone Pine Campground

Escape to this hidden gem along a federally designated Wild and Scenic river, where a handful of shaded, primitive sites await those seeking an authentic Oregon riverside experience. This intimate BLM campground fills the need for budget-friendly solitude, though its popularity means weekend visitors should arrive early to snag one of the coveted spots right on the water.

Small, vehicle-accessible BLM campground reported to have about five to six first-come sites; accommodates travel trailers but provides no utility hookups.

Go if

Anglers, waders, and floaters who can show up Friday afternoon will love the direct river access and shaded, level sites. Trailers fit, though there's no water or hookups, so pack everything in.

Skip if

Only five sites with no reservations means you may drive out and find it full. No potable water, vault toilets that reviewers call inconsistently maintained, no trash service, and rattlesnakes along the banks add up fast if roughing it isn't your thing.
