The place
the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
Featuring a boat launch, a seasonal ranger station and trailhead, Trout Creek campground offers 21 campsites and three group-use campsites along the Lower Deschutes Wild and Scenic River. Some pull-through campsites as well as day-use parking are available in the recreation site. Access to the 7-mile Trout Creek Trail and Trout Creek Climbing Area originate at the south end of the campground. Keep reading
Know Before You Go
The campground is open year round but no potable water is available. Cell phone service is not available in the campground. Goathead, also known as puncturevine, is present in the area; protect your pets and bicycle tires. The Trout Creek Climbing Area is subject to an annual seasonal wildlife closure from January 15 to August 31 to protect sensitive nesting golden eagles. Point of Interest Spectacular and towering volcanic cliffs—fine examples of what geologists call columnar basalt—can be seen on the Trout Creek trail upriver from the campground.

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and a night costs $8 with nothing added. 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
“Individual Campsites : Weekdays: $8.00 per night Weekends*: $12.00 per night Additional Vehicle: $2.00 (excludes towed vehicles) Senior Pass Holders are half price (Individual Campsites only) Group Campsites : Weekday…” · the Bureau of Land Management’s own fee record
“There is a $2.00 charge per extra vehicle (tow vehicles excluded).” · the Bureau of Land Management’s own fee record
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($8), 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.
