Close to Services, convenient camping

If you are going south from Bend, you have to turn around at exit 151 due to center barrier now constructed

There are a few campsites and some are obviously used frequently. You will encounter some road noise from hwy 97 but otherwise peaceful; at least early in the season

Easy breezy

Clean quiet … can’t get much better for free. I experienced what previous reviewer warned and missed the turn when wasn’t even dark.

Decent camping if you just need somewhere to stay for the night. I don’t think it was anything to write home about, but it wasn’t bad by any means. As others have said, the turn is very easy to miss (there isn’t a turning lane), and if you miss the turn then you will have to take another 10ish minutes to u-turn and try again. I’d recommend having the map from this app open and driving super slow as you approach if you’re arriving at night. I looked for fire rings and didn’t see too many, but there are tons of pull-offs. Not very busy when I visited in June. I felt good being close to a main road, but wasn’t disturbed from the noise of it.

Plenty of nice places right off the FS Road

Probably some more further in, on dirt trails too. Only saw one tent set up.

Fine for a Night

This is just a forest road off of the highway. It’s very easy to miss the turn- and then it takes 20 minutes to get back to the turn. The road was icy and difficult to drive on in mid-March.

The spots are a little hard to find when its snowy. If you stay closer to the front, there’s less snow. Just look for established fire rings to find a spot. The only sign I saw that indicated you are allowed to camp here was one about putting out your fire. There’s okay cell service. Pack out your waste.

There were very rarely any cars driving on the road and only one other group stayed here the night I did. Overall, I felt mostly safe but a little weary. This is fine for a one night stop on a longer trip.

Dusty but convenient

Pull offs large enough for rvs & tents. It can get super dusty with folks driving back and forth depending on the season, but it is really convenient to Newberry Volcanic Monument. Not a super great place to camp, but it’s free & in a good location.
