About

Located 16.4 miles south of Prineville on State Highway 27, Chimney Rock Campground sits along the Chimney Rock segment of Central Oregon's Crooked Wild and Scenic River. The campground provides a peaceful setting among Western Juniper trees and dramatic Columbia River basalt formations. The BLM completed renovations in 2024 that added a reservable group site, accessible campsite with paved parking, a new restroom, upgraded accessible fishing dock, and repaired fire rings and picnic tables. The campground now features improved accessibility including a short paved loop trail and accessible grills. The namesake Chimney Rock butte rises prominently above Highway 27 across from the campground, with trailhead access just across the road. The 18-mile Crooked River Canyon Scenic Bikeway connects Prineville to Big Bend Campground for cyclists seeking a moderate route past picturesque farms and towering cliffs.
