About

This is the premier campground in the scenic high desert of the Crooked River National Grassland, and offers the most amenities to visitors. Located on the eastern shore of Haystack Reservoir and surrounded by native vegetation including sage brush and juniper trees, you can catch glimpses of the Three Sisters in the distance. On hot summer days you can cool off in the water, or if you're getting hungry cast a line and you may get a bite. There are nearby trails to accommodate hikers and mountain bikers as well. Whatever your pleasure on the grassland, Haystack Reservoir is a great place to camp.
