About
This campground is surprisingly quiet and serene as it sits nestled among some large ponderosa pine trees just a few miles from the main highway. It also hosts the trailhead for Barnhouse Trail (#813) located in the northwest corner of the campground. This is a great location to camp in the pines and explore the National Park units in the John Day Fossil Bed National Monument.
