About This Location

Discover the quiet beauty of Palisades Campground along Oregon's Crooked River. This primitive, year-round site offers spacious spots and river access.

Nestled along the scenic Lower Crooked River, Palisades Campground offers a tranquil escape for those seeking a more secluded outdoor experience. Set back from the main backcountry byway, this 14.5-acre site provides a peaceful atmosphere that stands out from other nearby stops. The terrain is defined by the river corridor, with fourteen broad, spacious campsites situated mostly at river level, allowing campers to settle in right by the water's edge.

This primitive BLM-managed campground is ideal for tent, car, and RV campers who prefer a back-to-basics approach. While the site does not offer utility hookups, it provides essential amenities including vault toilets and an ADA-accessible fishing pier for those looking to cast a line. The area is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts interested in biking, fishing, and enjoying the natural Pacific Northwest landscape.

Palisades operates on a first-come, first-served basis and remains open year-round, making it a reliable destination for flexible travelers. Because it lacks modern hookups and reservations, it is best suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy a quiet, rugged environment. Please arrive prepared, as no potable water is available on-site.
