The place
the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
Located 40 minutes south of Paisley, Oregon, this rustic horse camp affords pretty views of Steens Mountain and Mount Shasta. There is one vaulted toilet and four campsites, each with a picnic table and fire grate, and one hitching post. This is a good choice for a stop-over, as Moss Meadows has no corrals and no options for short trail rides. It's about 20 miles from Moss Meadows to Currier Springs on the Fremont National Recreation Trail . Another option is to ride west from Moss Meadow along the road for about five miles to the Chewaucan River. You need to get permission to ride along the river, as it passes through private land. There are signs posted with contact info or you can obtain phone numbers from the Paisley Ranger District. There is no portable water. Visitors need to pack plenty of water

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and it costs nothing at all. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s own record says there’s no camping fee, and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
