About Fall River Campground

Overview

Fall River Campground is located along Fall River within the Deschutes National Forest west of La Pine.

Recreation

Campers can enjoy the nearby Fall River Trail which offers frequent views of crystal clear Fall River. This trail can be accessed from one of three Fall River Trailheads. Visitors can also enjoy fishing on Fall River although it is limited to fly fishing only.

Facilities

Fall River Campground sites tend to be on the smaller side without any RV hookups or services. Campers will need to provide their own water supply. All sites are equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill and the campground has vault toilets available.

Natural Features

Fall River's headwaters bubble from the ground approximately 1/4 mile from the campground. The river meanders through the forest before joining the Deschutes River. Legal-sized brook and rainbow trout are stocked several times a year.

Nearby Attractions

Refunds: Refund requests made through www.recreation.gov will be charged a $10 processing fee. This fee is retained by the reservation service contractor along with the non-refundable reservation fee. All requests for the return of the non-refundable reservation fee and the cancellation fee will be declined by the campground concessionaire as they did not receive these fees (these are the fees retained by the reservation contractor, a different entity).
