Ochoco Forest Campground

Ochoco Forest Camp is a quaint campground located on Ochoco Creek and just off of Forest Service Road 42. There are plenty of opportunities for adventure stemming from this one location. Nearby recreational activities include hiking or biking on Lookout Mountain Trail (#804), and fishing, swimming or paddling at Walton Lake. Keep an eye out for wild horses here, too, because the Big Summit herd is known to frequent the area. There is also a Group Pavilion that can be reserved for large group gatherings. View a map of Ochoco Forest Campground and Group Pavilion.
