Full-hookup RV setups won't find electric, water, or sewer here, and the nearest real supplies are 25 miles away in John Day. Dawn and dusk mosquitoes are relentless, so if bug tolerance is low, summer evenings here will wear thin fast.

Summer brings the most reliable access and weather, with daytime highs in the mid-60s to low-80s°F and cool nights dropping into the 30s-40s. This is when the campground operates fully, potable water is available, and mosquitoes at dawn and dusk are the main annoyance. Winter buries the area in snow, transforming it into cold backcountry terrain. Spring and fall offer solitude but variable conditions. Afternoon thunderstorms can roll in quickly during summer.
Open Memorial Day–Sept 30; reliable summer temps, potable water, creek cooling waters available.
Potable water is not available at this site.
