45mi from Frazier Campground · 6 sites · Tents, RVsHorseman's Haven Ranch and Mountain Camp sits on 322 acres of mountain terrain at 3,700–4,700 ft, bordering the Ochoco National Forest. The land is a mix of lodgepole pine, blue spruce, and juniper, with natural springs, steep trails, small valleys, and expansive mountain views. Wildlife trails wind throughout the property, and horses roam freely. This is a fully off-grid (no electrical hookups), camping experience ideal for those seeking quiet, solitude, and fresh mountain air. We offer a mix of private and communal designated campsites suitable for tents, vans, and RVs (site compatibility depends on your rig size/type). Communal Traeger and blackstone available for cooking. Guests must be fully self-contained, pack it in/pack it out. Spring water from a spigot is available for filling your tank/container.
The property has a long, storied past, once home to a 19th-century cinnabar mine. Remnants of this history can still be found around the property. Days here are perfect for hiking, rockhounding, birdwatching, mountain biking, and exploring nearby public lands. Nights bring incredible stargazing and cool mountain air. We don't offer horseback riding, but for those interested, horsemanship experiences are available. Or bring your own horse! We have pens available.
Access is via paved highway to the ranch, with dirt roads on the property. Most campsites are accessible w/out 4WD in good conditions; high clearance is helpful and 4WD may be necessary seasonally, and depending on the site you choose. The town of Prineville is 20 miles away for supplies, with destinations like Prineville Reservoir, Walton Lake, and the Painted Hills all within easy reach. Please note: terrain can be uneven and steep; leveling blocks recommended for vehicles. Wood fires allowed only when seasonal restrictions permit and must be fully extinguished nightly; propane fire pits allowed when local fire restrictions permit. ATT works on the ranch, but Verizon is spotty.
We welcome respectful guests who love nature, animals, and the quiet rhythms of off-grid living. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a basecamp for exploring Central Oregon, this mountain has a spirit all its own, and we’re excited to share it with you.
