Awesome place!! Beautiful and quiet! Some sites are a bit small for bigger rigs but the camp host was great in helping us get the site that would work!! FYI - site 12 will not work for an autoleveling system..... we found out the hard way.

Very nice campground in the Ponderosa Pines 4.5 miles from Sisters, Oregon. The campsites were good size and very well maintained. The campground host was friendly and very helpful. Nice hiking and biking trails are near the campground. There is water available, one hand pump in the campground. We will be back.

We love this place and have been going there for 30 years, too many people know about it now so you have to plan ahead.

Nice off grid campground that is only 4-5 miles from the town of Sisters. Campsites are spaced apart. Wonderful 6 mile round trip hike around Matolius River.
