About
Antelope Flat Reservoir Campground occupies a scenic setting among large ponderosa pines on the south side of the Maury Mountains in Ochoco National Forest. The campground sits just above the reservoir's day-use area, which features a boat ramp, picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets right at the water's edge. While only a few campsites provide direct reservoir views, the short walk to the shoreline takes most visitors less than 10 minutes. Potable drinking water is available near the south end of the campground from a standing hand pump, though no hookups are available on site. Each campsite includes a picnic table and access to vault toilets. The reservoir offers fishing and non-motorized boating opportunities. Keep binoculars handy as large birds of prey can occasionally be spotted nesting on the east side of the reservoir.
