The best free camping and campgrounds.

UPDATE:
These free campgrounds have been
contracted to a private company and
are now fee areas. Kind of expensive.

This page will be left on the campground
listing, because of the great photos and
there are some campsites on Road#1180

NOTE:
The map and information booth at the
Ochoco Ranger Station show both Perry
South and Monty Campgrounds with
No Fees... until you get there.

Is there something in the constitution
that forbids the government from charging
you to use public areas. If you have limited
budget, then you are not allowed access to
public land... maybe even throw you in jail.

Lake Billy Chinook has some inspiring
landscades. From canyons and badlands,
with towering mountain peaks in the back-
ground, it is worth a visit.

ESTABLISHED CAMPGROUNDS
PERRY SOUTH CAMPGROUND $14.00
This was a free campground, now is expensive...
MONTY CAMPGROUND $12.00
6 miles of very rough road, to be charged
an outrageous amount... disappointment.

THE COVE PALISADES STATE PARK
The Cove Palisades State Park has several
established campgrounds... probably showers...
Views and scenery will distort reality...

There are some more primitive camp areas
and spectaculay photos near and around
Lake Billy Chinook.

Lower Bridge Road
Lower Bridge Road (Near milepost 5)

On Lower Bridge Road are some "Perfect Views"
and areas you can camp or overnight park.
Between milepost 2 and milepost 5 is BLM Land.
There are several spur roads. Get out of view
from the main road and nobody will know you
are there. These roads are dusty in the summer.

The story goes that Smith Rock was named
after a soldier that fell to his death.

For incredible views of nine mountain peaks,
go 7 miles north on Hwy.97 from Terrebonne
and turn left/west on Monroe Lane. Take
Monroe Lane about 2 miles... maybe there
are 10 mountain peaks???
