About This Location

Explore the unique volcanic fissure of Crack-in-the-Ground in Oregon. This primitive BLM campground offers a one-of-a-kind hiking experience in a remote setting.

Crack-in-the-Ground is a truly remarkable geological destination in the high desert of Oregon. This primitive BLM site allows visitors to camp right alongside an ancient volcanic fissure that stretches over two miles long and reaches depths of up to 70 feet. Because of the arid climate, the fissure remains nearly unchanged since its formation thousands of years ago, providing a stark and fascinating landscape for explorers to discover.

The campground offers a rugged, back-to-basics experience for those looking to disconnect. Facilities are minimal, featuring vault toilets and picnic tables to accommodate your stay, and the area is accessible for both tent campers and RVs up to 70 feet in length. With a designated two-mile trail winding along the bottom of the fissure, hikers can enjoy a unique climate-controlled trek where temperatures remain significantly cooler than the surface.

This site is best suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy primitive conditions and off-the-beaten-path adventures. Whether you are an avid hiker, a geology enthusiast, or an RV traveler seeking a quiet, year-round basecamp, the dramatic surroundings of this volcanic wonder provide an unforgettable Pacific Northwest experience.
