About
Scotts Camp Campground is a free primitive camping area in the Ochoco National Forest of central Oregon. Situated at the intersection of Forest Service Roads 22, 3010, and 2630, the campground provides convenient access to multiple forest roads and recreational opportunities in the area. The campground sits north of Big Summit Prairie and south of the Bridge Creek Wilderness, making it an ideal staging point for backcountry exploration, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Facilities are minimal: vault toilets and picnic tables are provided, but there is no potable water on site. Campers must bring their own drinking water and plan accordingly for a primitive camping experience. This is a first-come-first-served campground with no reservation system. There are no fees to camp here. A 14-day stay limit applies, as is standard across National Forest Service lands.
