About
Located about 40 minutes southwest of Paisley, Oregon, Sandhill Crossing Campground sits along the North Fork of the Wild and Scenic Sprague River at 6,303 feet elevation. The campground occupies a peaceful setting of lodgepole pine and open meadow, making it an excellent base for river fishing, wildlife viewing, and day hiking in this remote corner of the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The campground has five individual sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. A single vault toilet serves the area. Water availability from the hand pump should be confirmed before arrival. There is no fee to camp here, and sites are first-come, first-served with no reservation system. The remote location and light usage make it a favored spot for hunters in the fall season. The campground is managed by the Silver Lake Ranger District. A 14-day stay limit applies to all camping on the Fremont-Winema National Forest.
