Trout Creek Campground in OR -- Campground & RV Camping

Located along the Lower Deschutes Wild and Scenic River, Trout Creek Campground features 21 individual campsites, three group sites, pull-through spaces, and day-use parking. Amenities on-site include a boat launch and a seasonal ranger station, though no drinking water is provided. The south end of the campground serves as the entry point for both the 7-mile Trout Creek Trail and the Trout Creek Climbing Area, which sits beneath volcanic basalt cliff formations.

Getting there: From Madras, Oregon: Drive 3 miles north on US highway 97; turn left onto NE Cora Drive and proceed another 0.7 miles. Make a slight left onto NE Clark Drive for another 5.8 mi, then turn left onto NE Buckley Ln/NE Clark Drive; proceed another 0.4 miles. NE Buckley Ln/NE Clark Drive turns left and becomes NE Clemens Drive for another 1.3 miles. At the community of Gateway, turn right to stay on NE Clemens Drive which becomes Coleman Road. The road turns to gravel at Trout Creek and a narrow tunnel precludes tall vehicles. After another 4.4 miles Trout Creek Campground is on the banks of the Deschutes River.
