About
Emigrant Campground sits along Emigrant Creek in Oregon's Malheur National Forest, shaded by large ponderosa pines. This small 7-site campground is rarely crowded, making it ideal for visitors seeking solitude. The creek provides convenient trout fishing opportunities right from camp. The campground is a short drive from the top of Snow Mountain and the historic Snow Mountain Fire Lookout, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding high desert and forested landscape. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets but no potable water, so campers should bring their own water supply. Access is via Forest Road 4340 off Forest Road 43, approximately 33 miles from Burns, OR. The campground accommodates camp trailers up to 20 feet in length. Sites are first-come, first-served at $8 per night.
