Wildwood Campground
This small rustic campground is located east of the 2,035-acre Ochoco Divide Research and Natural Area. It is forested with ponderosa pine, western larch, Douglas-fir, and grand fir. It has easy access from Highway 26, and is seldom crowded so it makes for a quiet and peaceful getaway. Firefighters were able to protect this campground from the 2014 Bailey Butte wildfire.
