Ochoco Forest Campout

The stillness of a ponderosa hillside, piney forest scents, a nearby creek’s gurgles and Lookout Mountain, the shining infinity of a star-filled nighttime dark sky—these await you at the Ochoco Campout. Isn’t it time to recharge winter’s Nature deficit?

Camp in the heart of the Ochoco National Forest. Hike, paddle on Walton Lake, or just relax and take it all in. Potluck dinner at the Pavilion’s picnic tables (photo), with grilled salmon burgers and your dishes. Then gather around the campfire to share stories and reflections on your day. Well-behaved/controlled dogs are welcome.

Bring a Happy Hour nibble for Monday afternoon and a potluck dish to share Monday evening, your beverages and dishware/utensils; please no disposables. If you'd like to help check-in or potluck setup/cleanup, let us know--thank you kindly!

SUGGESTED DONATION: $20/person for the weekend to cover campground, food, equipment and expenses. Mail check to Juniper Group Sierra Club to us at Environmental Center, 16 NW Kansas, Bend 97703. Children under 18 free.
