Winom Campground, Forest Service Road 5200440, Ukiah, Oregon, USA
Dirt bikers, ATV riders, or hikers who want direct trailhead access and can self-supply. Pull-throughs handle rigs up to 100 feet, the vault toilets get clean marks from reviewers, and weekday June visits hit the sweet spot before crowds arrive. Stock up on water and firewood in
No potable water is the hard stop for anyone without a serious carry capacity. Spring visits bring swampy, muddy conditions along the stream boundary, and with no host on-site and the nearest hospital 75 miles away in Pendleton, this isn't the place to wing a backcountry setup.

The elevation is 5,000 ft. This pack it in, pack it out campground, primarily dedicated to OHV enthusiasts, is located along the paved Blue Mountain Scenic Byway. It is connected, via Tower Loop Trail (#3040), to the Wimon-Frazier OHV Complex with over 100 miles of trails. The North Fork John Day Wilderness is located just across the bridge from the campground. This campground offers campers both the serenity of a pristine wilderness and the excitement of challenging OHV trail riding. The campsites, accommodating most any size RV with OHV trailer, are composed of two back-ins, five pull-throughs and three loops. The loops are designed with a fire pit in the middle and picnic shelter and are intended for multiple families/groups. NOTE: This campground came on line after the authors researched Umatilla National Forest. All information provided by North Fork John Day Ranger District Office.
Open Memorial Day weekend through mid-November (end of second elk season)
The parking aprons are gravel. Two back-in campsites have parking aprons about 12' X 50'. The five pull-throughs have parking aprons about 100 ft. in length. Finally, the three loops provide for multiple RVs with trailers for OHVs.
From Ukiah, OR, travel south on County Rd. 1475 (becomes Forest Service Rt. 52 after five miles) for 23 miles to Forest Service Rt. 5200440. Turn right onto Rd. 5200440 and go one mile to the campground's entrance on the right (north). NOTE: The last mile is a single lane dirt and gravel road with turn-outs.

Summer is the practical window. Forest roads open by mid-June, and daytime temps settle into the mid-60s to upper-70s. Nights drop into the 30s and 40s, which keeps the bugs manageable. Reviews mention quieter conditions on weekdays, especially in June. Winter transforms the area into snowmobile country, but the campground isn't maintained and access requires over-snow travel. Spring brings high water and mud around the stream.
Summer is practical window: roads open mid-June, mild daytime temps and manageable bugs at night.
There is no water or garbage service, so please pack your garbage home.
