Twin Springs Campground

Located 40 minutes southeast of Lakeview, Oregon, Twin Springs campground offers three peaceful campsites at 6,300 feet elevation. Twin Springs gurgles up in the center of the forest camp amid tall ponderosa pine, white fir, and aspen trees. There is a lush riparian understory along the creek and bright wildflowers in the late spring and summer. Amenities at Twin Springs include picnic tables and fire grates, and one vault toilet. Visitors can enjoy bird watching, wildlife viewing (deer are common) and hiking on the Crane Mountain National Recreation Trail, located two miles west and accessed near Rogger Meadow. There is no potable water. Visitors need to pack plenty of water.
