About
Wildwood Campground is a small, free primitive campground nestled in the Ochoco National Forest east of the 2,035-acre Ochoco Divide Research and Natural Area. The forested setting features a mix of ponderosa pine, western larch, Douglas-fir, and grand fir, creating a classic central Oregon mountain atmosphere. The campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets and picnic tables at each site. There is no potable water available, so campers must bring their own supply. The site is seldom crowded, making it an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and a peaceful forest experience. Access is relatively easy from Highway 26, though the final approach follows Forest Service roads. The campground sign is frequently stolen, so watch carefully for the turnoff. A 14-day stay limit applies to all Ochoco National Forest land.
Directions
From Prineville, Oregon: Travel east on Highway 26 for approximately 26 miles. Turn right at Mark's Creek Sno-Park onto Forest Service Road 2630. Follow FS Road 2630 for approximately 4 miles. At the junction of FS Road 2630 and FS Road 2210, turn left onto FS Road 2210. Continue for approximately 4 miles and Wildwood Campground will be on your right. The campground sign is frequently stolen and may not be present.
