About
Jones Crossing Campground is a peaceful, primitive forest camp situated directly on the banks of the Chewaucan River in Oregon's Fremont-Winema National Forest. The campground offers eight spacious sites scattered among juniper and ponderosa pines that provide welcome shade during warm summer days. Each site features a picnic table and fire grate. A single vault toilet serves the campground, but there is no potable water, so visitors must pack in their own supply. The Chewaucan River offers excellent fishing opportunities for rainbow and brook trout. Birders will appreciate the woodpeckers and songbirds that frequent the area. Access to the Fremont National Recreation Trail #160 is available at Chewaucan Crossing, which is along the route to Jones Crossing. This multi-use trail accommodates hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. The campground sees light use and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees. Vehicles must remain at least 100 feet from the river's edge. The 14-day stay limit applies forest-wide.
