DIRECTIONS: Check with Andy for caravan options but - from  Carson, WA, take the Wind River Highway north; take FS Road 65 to FS Road 60. About 8 miles of gravel road to the campground. Alternatively, take Highway 141 to Trout Lake, then west on Forest Road 60. About eight miles of gravel road to campground.

WHAT to EXPECT: one of the most popular fisheries and TU Campoutings offered. If you've never been - you're missing out.
WHAT to BRING: This river and campground are in the Deschutes National Forest at about 4300 feet and temps are very changeable this time of year - often in range of freezing. Come prepared for the full gamut and range of Oregon temps and weather. Fly fishing gear is a must - as well as your normal camping gear. Waders, boots, staff and all that accessory stuff you've been collecting over the years!
