Wedged between the Lower Deschutes River Back Country Byway and the Deschutes River, Twin Springs Campground offers six individual campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. Bring you own shade: only one campsite has any and what sun protection it does offer is minimal.

Know Before You Go

  • Twin Springs Campground is open year-round with limited river access, one vault toilet and garbage service. There are no group-use campsites.
  • No drinking water or utility hookups are available. No reservations are accepted; all campsites, are available on a first-come, first-served basis only.
  • Lower Deschutes Boater Passes are required year-round, for both day and overnight use, for anyone using a watercraft or any other floating device as a means of transport on the Lower Deschutes River.
  • Limited cell phone service may be available. Campfires and smoking are allowed only from October 16 through May 31, annually, unless posted otherwise.

Point of Interest
