About this campground

Featuring riverside campsites and a steep, primitive boat launch this cozy campground is a little bit away from the summertime busyness of nearby Maupin. One campsite offers limited shade so you’ll have to bring your own for the other sites. Know Before You Go Long Bend Campground is open year-round and is with 4 campsites, one vault toilet and garbage service. No drinking water or utility hookups are available. No reservations are accepted; all campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Campfires and smoking are allowed only from October 16 through May 31, annually, unless posted otherwise. When recreating on Public Lands, please practice the seven Leave-No-Trace Principles. Point of Interest Long Bend offers a quieter alternative to the hubbub of nearby Harpham Flat Campground.

Getting there
