About
Situated on the banks of the Deschutes Wild and Scenic River, Mecca Flat Campground is located just 1.5 miles from Oregon State Highway 26 near Warm Springs. This BLM-managed campground features 13 individual campsites and one group use area, all available on a first-come, first-served basis year-round. The campground serves as the southern terminus for the 7-mile non-motorized Trout Creek Trail, which follows the Deschutes River corridor. The campground is accessed via Mecca Flat Road, a narrow 1.6-mile single-lane road with few pullouts requiring caution when towing trailers. Campers should note that no potable water is available on-site, and cell phone service is not available. The area features vault toilets, and goathead (puncturevine) is present, which can be hazardous to pets and bicycle tires. The location offers historical interest as the Deschutes Railroad once ran on portions of the nearby Trout Creek Trail and Mecca Flat Road in the early 20th century. A historic, now-abandoned tunnel near Highway 26 remains visible but should be avoided due to its unstable condition. Popular activities include camping, fishing, hiking, paddling, wildlife viewing, and mountain biking along the scenic river corridor.
Directions
From Madras, Oregon: Drive 12.4 miles north on State Highway 26. Immediately before the Deschutes River crossing, turn right and look for the brown Mecca Flat Road sign. Turn left on this road and drive another 1.6 miles to the site along the narrow single-lane road.
