Ochoco Forest Camp Group Pavilion

The Group Pavilion at Ochoco Forest Camp is located at the far end of the campground and is within walking distance from the Ochoco Ranger Rental House.

This venue is great for weddings, family reunions, company picnics and more.

The peaceful setting next to Ochoco Creek and among a forest of large ponderosa trees is exceptionally welcoming to visitors.

There is a large shade pavilion above several picnic tables and a couple of grills on site.

With such close proximity to Forest Service Road 42, this location offers plenty of opportunities for adventure nearby including hiking or biking on Lookout Mountain Trail (#804), and fishing, swimming or paddling at Walton Lake.

Also, keep an eye out for wild horses because the Big Summit herd is known to frequent this area.
