Best Time to Camp at Scotts Campground

Scotts Campground transforms with the seasons, from winter's crystalline embrace when temperatures plunge and snow blankets the forest floor, to spring's gradual awakening as the mercury climbs from very cold to refreshingly cool. Summer brings those perfect camping days when comfortable temperatures arrive under brilliantly clear skies. The consistently dry mountain air means you'll wake to crisp mornings and enjoy starlit evenings, though spring showers and winter snows remind visitors that this is true mountain country where weather writes its own rules.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
3.5 / 5

Summer likely pleasant for prairie and wilderness access; primitive amenities remain.

Best
Fall(Sep-Nov)
3.5 / 5

Big Summit Prairie's golden grasses and quieter season suggest strong fall character.

Spring(Mar-May)
3.0 / 5

Spring 'gradual awakening' noted; good for wildflowers but roads/conditions may be wet or variable.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
3.0 / 5

Open year-round; snow and cold at 5,430 ft enable winter access but conditions are primitive and harsh.

Planning Tips
  • Operating Season: Open year-round.

About Scotts Campground

Tucked away at the crossroads of three scenic forest routes, Scotts Campground offers an intimate escape into the heart of Ochoco National Forest. This hidden gem welcomes adventurers seeking solitude with just three thoughtfully spaced campsites, perfect for those who prefer canvas walls to aluminum ones. Here, where Forest Service Roads 22, 3010, and 2630 converge, you'll find your gateway to endless mountain exploration without the crowds or fees that often accompany such pristine wilderness access.
The Scotts Campground is described as a small facility primarily suited for tent camping. There are only three campsites, and the turning space is limited, making it unsuitable for trailers or large RVs.
