Overview
About Lone Pine Campground
Centered around a single, sentinel Ponderosa Pine tree, this small campground features six campsites and a group use area. Across the Crooked River, the photogenic Rocky Canyon and it’s vertical rimrock cliffs offer photographers a variety of ever-changing light and depth perspectives. Know Before You Go: Open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are accepted. Potable water is available year-round at Chimney Rock Campground, 1.7 miles miles west (upriver) on State HIghway 27. Cell phone service is not available in the campground. Watch for bicyclists: the section of State Highway 27 between Prineville and Bowman Dam is designated as the Crooked River Canyon Scenic Bikeway. 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.
- Stay limit: 14 Days.
- Map coordinates are available for trip planning.
Our Take
What makes Lone Pine Campground special
Lone Pine Campground takes its name from the towering sentinel ponderosa pine that anchors this intimate six-site camp along the Crooked River in central Oregon. The setting is striking — Rocky Canyon's basalt walls rise sharply around you, and the river murmurs just steps from your site. A group area makes it work for small gatherings, and the compact layout creates a neighborly atmosphere without feeling cramped. Fly fishing for wild redband trout is the main draw, with the Crooked River's wild and scenic designation ensuring the water stays healthy and productive. Spring and fall are the prime seasons for both comfortable weather and active fish, though the campground stays open year-round for hardy visitors willing to brave crisp winter mornings. Sites are first-come, first-served, so plan a midweek arrival for the best selection. Bring your waders, a camp chair, and a good book. Lone Pine is perfect for anglers, small groups of friends, and couples looking for a scenic, low-key riverside camp with genuine character.
