About this campground
The Deschutes River in this area is a great wild trout stream and nursery for Wickiup's brown trout population as it flows through a flower-bedecked meadowland. This section offers excellent fishing for brook trout to 5 pounds, a growing number of rainbows, and good numbers of browns. This is a popular area for big game and waterfowl hunting, wildlife viewing, and bird watching. A favorite place for family outings, the Deschutes has many camping areas. Many other excellent fishing spots are nearby as well as opportunities to watch spawning fish, to boat, and to participate in other water sports. In the winter, this is a pop ular snowmobile and cross-country ski area.
