About this campground
Enjoy the exhibits on the ground floor of the Historic Cant Ranch Museum located in the Sheep Rock Unit. It features artifacts from some of the Native Americans who inhabited the region and stories from homesteaders describing early ranch life. Learn about James and Elizabeth Cant's experience immigrating to John Day Basin from Scotland in the early 1900s, raising a family, and living off the land until their deaths in the early 1970s.
Getting there
From the HWY 26/HWY 19 junction, drive two miles north on HWY 19 and the museum and parking lot are located on the right-hand side (East side) of the road.
