Malheur National Forest

5 sites · RV, Tent

It’s all in the name! If it’s game you seek, Deerhorn Campground is a great place to station yourself in the late summer and hunting seasons. This quaint camp of five sites has one special spot that fits a 30’ RV, and offers fishing, exploring, and good ol’ wilderness watching at Middle Fork John Day River State Scenic Waterway (say that three times fast). For the 411 on off-season accessibility, check the current conditions.

Towering Tamaracks

31mi from Deerhorn Campground · 4 sites · Tents · Baker City, OR

Heavily forested mountain property way off the grid in the Elkhorn Mts and borders National Forest. Enjoy hiking, biking, climbing, hammocking, watching wild animals, star gazing, etc. Sorry, no sounds of the city. Host will send you driving directions that need to be printed. There is a short hike (4 to 5 minutes) to each camp site from the Common Parking area, so I suggest packing as lightly as possible. Feel free to use the supplied cart to carry your gear. Campers have also enjoyed kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, hiking, and the mountain biking trails at Phillips Lake, which is a little over eight miles from TT. For trails, visit Trailforks.com and search Phillips Lake. Trails range from Easy to Black Diamond. This area used to have train tracks nearby, thus the road name Old Trestle Lane. Legend has it that "there's gold in them there hills". Visit nearby gold mining town, Sumpter (about 45 minute drive), while you're here. There is an authentic gold dredge you can walk through or you can schedule a steam powered train ride. http://www.sumptervalleyrailroad.org/index.html If you don't mind the hour drive, explore the history of Baker City and check out the Oregon Trail Museum just outside of town.
