About
Biggs Springs Campground is a tiny, rustic campground tucked away in the Ochoco National Forest near Lytle Prairie. With only three campsites, this free facility offers a genuine escape from civilization for campers seeking solitude. Two sites sit adjacent to each other near the vault toilet, while a third is located across from the entrance. Each site includes a picnic table with variable parking. The campground features a natural spring on site, though campers should be aware this water is not managed or treated by the Forest Service and is not safe for human consumption. All drinking water must be packed in. The surrounding meadow and forest provide excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography. A short drive brings visitors to the headwaters of the Wild and Scenic North Fork Crooked River, known for superb trout fishing. The remote location along Forest Service Road 150 requires navigating approximately 40 miles of paved and gravel roads from Prineville.
