About
Fall River Campground is a small, family-friendly campground situated along the banks of crystal-clear Fall River in the Deschutes National Forest. The river's headwaters emerge from the ground approximately 1/4 mile from the campground, creating a pristine spring-fed stream that meanders through the forest before joining the Deschutes River. The campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the Fall River Trail, which departs directly from the campground and offers frequent views of the river as it follows its course. The river is limited to fly fishing only and supports legal-sized brook and rainbow trout that are stocked several times a year, merging with naturally reproducing brook, brown, and rainbow trout populations. Native whitefish also inhabit the river below the falls. The campground's intimate size makes it ideal for a peaceful family outing or as a launch point for drift fishing on the river. With a maximum site spur length of 40 feet, the campground can accommodate smaller RVs and trailers in a forested setting.
Directions
From Bend, travel 17.3 miles south on Highway 97, then 12.2 miles southwest on County Road 42.
