Cow Meadow Campground

Most of the campgrounds in Deschutes National Forest have a similar appeal: shaded by tall ponderosa pines; and with little grass underfoot, they fall into the “high desert" category. Cow Meadow Campground is different--you’ll be camping among wide-open grassy lands that ripple with the breezes. It’ll cost $18 to camp at one of the 18 different sites here, but if you’re seeking seclusion and a change of scenery, it’s worth it! Since it’s right on the river, this campground is perfect for fishing, too; just check current conditions before you head out.
