Between the Crooked Wild and Scenic River and a quiet highway, Lone Pine Campground provides seven sites managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The small campground accommodates both tent and RV camping, with some sites positioned directly along the river and others set closer to the road. Multiple river access points serve anglers targeting the Crooked River.
Basic amenities include pit toilets and trash service, though campers must bring their own water and firewood. The campground prohibits pets and collecting firewood on-site. Sites can fill during summer months, and hunters frequently use the area during fall seasons. Campers seeking additional options in the region can explore campsites near Prineville.

Point of Interest:
Since 2008, reintroduction of Steelhead trout has been underway in the Deschutes River Basin, which includes the wild and scenic Chimney Rock segment of the Crooked River. The success of this reintroduction is in part dependent on stresses placed on this fish. Anglers should keep them in the water and release them immediately; the harvesting of Steelhead in the Crooked River is unlawful. ADA Access: No accessible facilities.
