Our Take
What makes Twin Springs Campground special
Tucked along the banks of the Deschutes River near Prineville, Oregon, Twin Springs Campground is a quiet little gem that rewards those willing to seek it out. With just six individual campsites, this is the kind of place where you can hear the river murmur through the junipers and wake up to the soft light of Central Oregon's high desert dawn. The campground sits along the Lower Deschutes River Scenic Byway, a corridor celebrated for its striking canyon scenery, world-class fly fishing, and golden eagle sightings. Anglers will find themselves in prime territory for wild redband trout, while paddlers can use the area as a launching point for mellow float trips through the canyon. The surrounding BLM land offers open terrain for hiking, wildlife watching, and simply breathing in the sage-scented air. With only six sites, Twin Springs fills up fast during the warmer months, especially on weekends from May through September. There are no reservations here, so plan to arrive early, particularly during summer holidays. Facilities are basic, so come prepared with your own water and supplies. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds, making them ideal seasons to soak in the solitude. If you are looking for a no-frills riverside escape far from the buzz of busier campgrounds, Twin Springs delivers beautifully.
