About
Mud Creek Campground is a quiet, primitive campground in the Lakeview Ranger District of Fremont-Winema National Forest. Located 35 minutes northeast of Lakeview, Oregon, the campground features seven spacious sites set among ponderosa and lodgepole pines, with aspens and cottonwoods providing additional shade. The light usage makes it an ideal retreat for those seeking solitude in the Oregon high desert. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire grate, and the campground provides potable water via a hand pump and one vault toilet. There are no fees to camp here. Recreational opportunities abound, including fishing, bird watching, and wildlife viewing along Mud Creek, where visitors can also wade and swim during warmer months. For hikers, the Crane Mountain National Recreation Trail #161 is located two miles west, accessed via Walker Trailhead. The campground operates seasonally from mid-May through mid-October with full services, with reduced services available during the off-season.
