About
Wolf Creek Campground is a quiet, rustic camping area nestled in a shaded ponderosa pine forest along Wolf Creek in Oregon's Ochoco National Forest. Located about 55 miles southeast of Prineville and 12 miles from the small community of Paulina, this campground provides a remote getaway in the high desert forest of central Oregon. The campground was administratively combined with the former Wolf Creek Industrial Campground, and fees now apply throughout. Each campsite includes a picnic table, and vault toilets are available. Campers must bring their own drinking water as no potable water is provided on site. The campground roads are narrow with tight corners, making it unsuitable for larger rigs. Trailers are limited to 20 feet, and RVs over 20 feet are not recommended. A 14-day stay limit applies. The area offers a peaceful forest setting with access to Wolf Creek for those seeking a quiet escape in the Ochoco Mountains.
