Overview

Facilities

Fall River Campground sites tend to be on the smaller side without any RV hookups or services. Campers will need to provide their own water supply. All sites are equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill and the campground has vault toilets available.

Natural Features

Fall River's headwaters bubble from the ground approximately 1/4 mile from the campground. The river meanders through the forest before joining the Deschutes River. Legal-sized brook and rainbow trout are stocked several times a year.
