About
Cold Springs Campground is a popular family-friendly destination nestled in the Deschutes National Forest southwest of Sisters, Oregon. A small spring flows through the heart of the campground, creating pockets of aspen among the dominant ponderosa pine forest. The shaded sites and moderate elevation provide relief from summer heat while keeping campers connected to the high Cascades landscape. The campground features 23 single campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Three vault toilets serve the facility, and potable water is available from a hand pump when the water system is operational (typically May through September). The maximum site spur length is 50 feet, making it suitable for smaller RVs and trailers. The close proximity to Sisters provides access to supplies and services, while nearby Sisters Wilderness trails offer hiking opportunities for all skill levels.
