About this campground
Located on a sleepy bend of the North Fork John Day River, Lone Pine Campground offers one shady campsite along the river with the remainder of the campsites in full sun. All campsites are flat and can accommodate larger vehicle-trailer combinations. Lone Pine Campground's convenient location makes it a great base for explorations further up the North Fork John Day River or any of the three units of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The fruit orchards of Kimberly are just a couple of miles south of the campground along State Highway 402. Know Before You Go Open year-round. Campground has five primitive campsites with picnic tables, fire rings and limited shade. All campsites are available on a first come, first served basis; no reservations are available. No drinking water or utility hookups are available. No cell phone service here. There is no garbage service here; please pack out your trash. Annual fire closure: June 1 though October 15. During this period of time, building, igniting, maintaining, using, and/or actively attending within 20’, a campfire, charcoal fire, or any other type of open flame is prohibited. This includes portable propane campfires and wood pellet burning devices. Commercially manufactured metal camp stoves used for cooking and shielded lanterns fueled by propane or liquid fuel are exempt from this restriction. Smoking is prohibited, except while in non-public buildings, closed vehicles, in boats on the water, or while standing in the water.
